formally made known. The reputation
of the syndicate and the large corporate
undertakings to which its members have
committed themselves in consequence of
the recovery of confidence make it in
conceivable that the great bankers
should permit the treasury to lapse
back towards its late EN- barrass-
government and to the country and to our
foreign credit, in the event of such a re-
lapse, convey the strongest possible in
direct assurance that the members of the
syndicate will yet find the means Of
guarding the treasury by some permanent
form of protection. But there is always
a class who, under circumstances that
call for faith in honor and patriotism, are
disposed to foster distrust and to suggest
pessimistic apprehensious. The "bears"
may be expected to follow such tactics at
present; and there will be a class of
timid, ignorant and disaffected people
who are disposed to follow their lead, and
the more so should they see gold factl-
tiously exported in order to excite this
sort of distrust.
This is an open confession on the part
of Mr.. Clews that the government of the
United States with its 100000 people
80 far as it's finances are concerned, is at
the mercy of a syndicate of New York,
bankers; dependant for its very exist
ence az it were on the patriotism of a
few money changers. What humiliat-
ing position for great and SO called
free people. And yet it is true as evil
denced in 1898. Dir. CLOVIS believes,
however, that our masters will not exer-
else their power against the people
again at once, as he says. "Since the
syndicate contract was undertaken
parties to that contract have become
sponsors for 800, 100000 of our securi-
ties which they have transferred to
European investors, and are likely to
still further augment those negotiations"

CORBETT SAVED THE DOG.
Rescuss a Hound From the Embrace of a
Grizzly.

Grizzly.
LONG BRANCH, N. j., July 25-EverY-
body at the West End hotel and at the
clubhouses discussed Jim Corbett's
latest feat last night and praised the big
boxer for his bravery. The cham pion
rescued one of Bill Brady's foxhounds
from the clutches of a grizzly bear
Grizzlies are rather uncommon, but oc-
casionally one puts in an appearance.
This fellow could do tricks and his mas
ter halted in front of the Brady cottage
at Lock ArbOr.
While the intelligent animal was do
ing a few tricks the hounds scented game
and broke loose from their quarters
One of the hounds, holder than the other,
sneaked up behind the bear and got hold
of leg. The director of the exhibition
said something in an unknown ton que
and the bear grabbed Brady's hounds.
Corbett was playing handOall, and hear
ing the unusual racket tried for a new
fifty-yard record in his effort to reach the
bear. The dog was being squeezed to
death.
Jim rushed up to the bear and the
bear dropped the dog, at the same time
making a vicious swing for Corbett's jaw.
But it did not work, and before the as
tonished animal could recover. Jim had
dragged the hound out of harms way.

lightning and resoundlng thunder, STAN
peded. The Mormons tried in vain to
head off the Infatuated herd. They might
just as we'll have tried to sweep back
the storm itself. The cattle rushed mad
1y along, carrying horses and men with
them to destruction. On they plunged
and right over the brink of an awful
gorge into the Bear river. Down went
the whole herd, believing their terror
through the rush of wind and rain. It
was fearful, a sublime sight, as one of
the cattlemen told me afterward. Some
of the cattle were not killed. You see,
the first that went down formed a pill
low for the last to drop on, and so the
survivors crawled out of the debris and
took up their abode in this inaccessible
gorge, where they have thrived and
still roam beyond the reach of any mans
hand. There is no possible way to get
into this place unless you choose to be
dropped down from the edge of the
precipice at the end of a rope 1000 feet
long.

THE Leavenworth Times states that on
the Fourth of July there were only three
arrests in that town for drunkenness,
as against forty in Topeka-Atehison
Globe.
This moss-adernsd prevarication has
been chasing around Kansas long
enough. On the Sd of July there were
forty-two arrests in Topeka of 7agrants
and suspicious persons because Vel
lace's circus was in town. These are the
arrests that the Leavenworth Times has
either carelessly OF maliciously credited
up to Fourth of July drunkenness.

WHATEVER may be said in criticism of

of the civil service and his honest ad-
ministration of its regulations. Allie

instance of its workings under his direc-
ton. OF the forty letter carriers in that
city only three were Democrats and they
have been discharged for neglect of
duty. This is a civil service that means
something.

Especial Correspondence.l
La HUNTA, Colo, July LETT was
the story told by the mining engineer
who had just come from the western
congress at Telluride, and who had Civ
en- me several strange stories about the
Danites. This struck me as being one of
the weirdest and most remarkable, and
will give it in his words as near as ]
can recollect them: "My grandfather
knew John Lee, that Mormon fend, in
timately. I have often heard him de-
scribe the terrible Mountain Meadow
massacre in all its sickening and revolt
ing details. He said it was one of Lees
tenets that robbing and killing gentiles
was no crime at all Tt was greed that
underlay all the preparations for that
cruel affair. The gentiles had splendid
cattle and wagons, farming utensils,
etc., on which the Mormons cast envious
eyes. You know the latter were very
poorly equipped in this line. So, as all
the world knows, the Danites murdered
the helpless emigrants for the sake of
their goods and chattels. I am not 60
ing to rehearse the awful story, as ev-
cry one knows it, but want to tell you
a curious sequel
"After the massacre government
troops were sent out to pursue and pun
ish these Mormon asaassins. The latter
learned that the avengers were on their
track and fed into an isolated valley in
Utah, near stream which flows down
from the Wasatch range into the Green
river. It was a safe and remote retreat,
rendered we'll nigh impregnable by the
lofty mountains about them, and here
they founded first a camp, then a settle
ment, which grew into a gOOdly sized
town, now called Ashley. It lies near the
Ute reservation, and the chief business
of the place now is to furnish supplies
for the Indian agency.
A Fearful Sight.
"Among these Mormon settlers was a
cunning old dog named John Wyckliffe
It's a wonder the great English reform
er didn It turn in his grave at the acts of
his namesake. This Wyckliffe was one
of Lees stanchest followers and de-
vout believer in the Danite's creed that
all is fish that comes from a gentile's to
a Mormon net. Over in Wyoming at
Henry's Ford was a magnificent herd of
cattle of which Wyckliffe thought with
thievish longing. In 1874, think it
was, he made night descent on this
herd and carried away nearly 1, 900 head,
the pick of the lot. The owners of the
herd, we'll known gentle cattlemen,
discovered their loss shortly and set ont
on the trail of the Mormons with blood
in their eyes. They traced the thieves
to the Bear river, near where Blue noun
tain and Cross mountain loom up huge
and defiant. Here occurred one of those
wonderfully exciting scenes only known
in the adventurous west. A frightful
storm arose, which compelled the pur-
suers to halt and during which the stolen
cattle, rendered frantic by the vivid
