To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
When was Black Friday in New YORK
and what was the cause of it?
Il. L. p.
[Black Friday was on September "a,
1869. In those days all dues to the gov
eminent had to be paid in gold, which
thus commanded a premium, varying
with the demand. There was a regular
room in the stock exchange where gold
was bought and sold. Jay Gould,
Arthur Kimber and w. s. Woodward
We're said to be the original men in the
scheme to corner the gold market and
advance the price. They began to ar
range matters in the summer, orking
on President Grant to have him direct
the Secretary of the Treasury to stop
the governmental selling of gold. Such
an order was issued by the secretary,
fin the belief that when gold went up
our products would go out Of the coun-
try to meet foreign demand. and gold
itself would stay here, Before the
scheme was in shape, Kimber n
Woodward sold out to Gould, II
James Fiske, jr., and some others came
in. On Friday. September p, 1859, the
clique, who had been buying gold for
three months, began to run the price
up. so that the Shorts found them
selves caught. There We're failures
among them; and. at the entreaty of
several persons. the Secretary of the
Treasury suspended the order not to
sell governmental gold. and threw So
900, 600 on the market. The price fell
from 1921 to 152. Meantime, as the
FislSe crowd had intended to run the
price up to 200. Fisse had ordered his
brokers to buy all they could at 100,

Former Governor Stokes commands attention by some significant refer
encesi in recent speeches which are interpreted as criticisms of the attitude
and policy Of President Roosevelt In a speech at a dinner at Phihpsburg
last night Mr. Stokes made no anusion personally to he President, but
when he strongly deprecated personal domination in public affairs, when he
condemned tho disruption of political parties, which are the necessary balance
IN our political government. and when he drew examples and parallels
from history to show the peril of an overshadowng personality in politics

No changes other than striking nut the enactng clause "a MAKE the

and thu operation of a La of the kind would be Dernicious. Governor Stokes
III his messages emphasized the view that the municipalities should be left
by the Legislature to administer their W local affairs without interference
and that view mas had general and hearty Endorsement The bill in ques-
lion is IN arbitrary and utterly unwarranted assumption. Of power in purely
local affairs by a State board, and it confers powers, too, that a be, and
sssuredfy will be-, most unworthry used, for it offers both the opportunity
ana the temptation. The only theory to justify the creation of an extraordi
nary tribunal Of. the State to go ovr the heads of all local excise boards and
county courts is that these boards n courts are unft for public trust A
pretty theory that, for a State Legislature o act upon. 1t is inconcevabe
that there's should be a single man in the Legislature capable Of ntertaining
q proposition as monstrous vs. that. But If it is a just theory, IN shall n

Infinitely greater opportunities to do wrong, with a power comprising the
whole State, would a State board be less susceptible to temptation than a
local board in its limited sphere and under the close observation of the peo-
pe Of the municipality?
