THE AMERICAN ALEXANDER What the London Pull Mnll Thinlu or Jny Gonlil Tlicro is now goiw on in America n development of the power of ixu indi vidual cftpitnlist which is well wortl attention ns a feature in modern soci oty. The tendency of c.ipitalist it that counlry to roll up with e.xtraordi narjrnpidity lias often been noticed and nowhcro else in the world could the colossal fortunes of Astor , Vanderbilt or A. T. Stewart hnvo been accninu latcd within the lifetime of ono man But the operations of Jay Gould arc of ar graiter extent than those of an ; previous capitalist , and the movemen of which ho is the head is so clearly n portion of n general evolution that we on this side of the Atlantic may note his course with profit to ourselves Mr. Jay Gould is chiolly known here as one of the famous Erie triumvirate FtsTc and Lane being the other two-- who carried on n Buccessful war in aharcs by the aid of a printing press kept in full work on their premises. Drew and Vnnderbilt found to their cost that it was impossible to "corner1 or control a stock when all the scrib bling paper in New York could bo brought into the market against them. Some day , doubtless , a calm iiujuirci will sot forth the philosophy of the corner in full , and when ho docs so Mr , Jay Gould will assuredly figure as the founder of a school. Never , perhaps , was a bolder game played in its way than that of this very Erie triumvirate in rigging the gold mar ket. The story is old , buUts moral ia over applicable. At the time when their opor.itions began gold and green backs stood in a definite relation to one another ; they lluctuated more or loss , of course , as that or this buyer came into the market ; but nothing very serious occurred since the great inflation of the civil war. Suddenly the happy idea came Into the hcaela of i ! tlioso wortlrcs , or rather into the head of ono of them , to purchase all the gold in sight and lock it up ; those who wore obliged to buy gold for business purposes wore compelled by their necessities to buy at the figure demanded by the ring. The matter began to got serious. Gold wont up and up like a lube of mercury in boil ing water ; there is no saying where it would end. New York , excitable at all times , wont nearly out of its souses A mob at length collected in front of the oflico of the three manipulatora , aiid affairs looked rather ugly for the triumvirate. To borrow a phrase from Mr. Jovon's mathemixtico-metaphysi- cal language of economy , the ultimate differentiations of final utility figured in the shape of a lamp-post and a rope. This , it has always boon said , did not suit Mr. Jay Gould. The introduction of brute force formed no part of his Calculations , and in American parlance ho "left , " without oven atoppim ; to open the glass door which afforded the only way to the roar. His bolder allies stood it out , the United States treasurer sold gold , and the corner canu to an end. It is unnecessary to follow Mr. Gould through his various phases of stock jobbing after this. "Corners" are devoid - void of interest , whether in gold , wheat , pork , or anything else , save as showing the power which , under our present system of production and ex change , may bo ripped by an unscru pulous man or a knot of men working to the same end. But it wan only as a gambler in stocks that Mr. Jay Gould was known , and it was pre sumed that his lack of physical courage and the loss of one or two of his asso ciates would criijlo him f6r larger schemes. Precisely the contrary lias occurred , and from the long period of depression between 1873 and 1880 , thia strange financial gcniuu has emerg ed aa beyond all comparison the ablest handler of capital in the United States. That ho is acting iu accord ance with the tendency of events does not of course detract from his ability ; but the result is remarkableand would bo dangerous but for the fact that the same power that broke up the gold ring can stop in to lay its hand upon the ablest combination for the benefit of the few and turn it to the advan- 'tagp of the many. His mo'lo of ope ration is peculiar , and , according to trustworthy evidence , his own imme diate associates after a long discussion , in which ho himself had taken little erne no part , are often unaware of the course which will bo ultimately adopt ed. The more money part of the bus iness seems to have no special clmnw for the chief organizer ; ho buys a iitati legislature as he buys newspapers o railways , as a portion of n genera scheme of consolidation whichoxtend beyond what perhaps he himself fore .BOOS. As a result of a series of extra ordinarily successful operations , Mr . Jay Gould has acquired a prestigt something similar to tlmtwhich Princ Bismarck has or hud in European nol itics. Any successful coup is altribut ed to his skillful proceedings , liutmoi .are only just beginning to perceive tin , > outcome of his manocuvera. i There are othoro moving in tli same direction , but at this momon Mr. Jay Gould is maitor of the mail line of communication between tin ' . Atlantic und Pacific ( dopes , is layiu his plans , according to all accounts , fo ' combination with the other roads being ing pushed through in United State territory , has a monopoly of the tele graphic communications , proposes t connect them with submarine cable in the same interest , while the projec of a line of purely freight steamer carrying in connection with hi . affiliated roads from the west is als attributed to him. Now , clearly , eve assuming that soinu of these plan break down for the tiino , only a general oral tendency in favor of combinatio as against competition could onabl ono man or any number of men to oi . tain such power as this. Permit it t bo used without regulation nay th , anti-monopolists of the states and a .imjxn'tun in imperiu will follow sue oa the world has never yet scon. Coi poratfons are aheadya hindrance t freedom of development , and a caus of all sorts of corruption in the Unite Btatesj but the power to keep bac telegraphic messages hold by thu grea stock exchange operator who control an over-increasing mileage of railroa may well occasion an alarm wliic finds expression in the saying that no the least troublesome business a American statesmen in years to com will bo to assert the rights of the poei I > lo at largo against "Napoleons o finance.

The collapse of the stock markets has brought a number of once flourishing people into comparative poverty. Brokers wcio always lavish customers of the jewelers. Of late they have been selling jewels in quan tities , In the Hush limes of the bonanza mines there M ere more diamonds mends and costly jewelry sold in Ssn Francisco than in 'any other city in the world of its jiopulntion and these wares therefore naturally poured in there from all parts of the world.

FLEET-FOOTED iROQUOIS , A Chat With the Man Who Rnioi1 the Dor/by Winner. iith'i Mill. .Stcl | l to Clnclnnttl Enquirer. Being in Philadelphia by family loccsslty this week , I wasn't much in- .crested in any news till Charley Mann , a well-known sporting gentle- nan , said to me on Chestnut street ; "Well , our horse has won it. There mtst bo a big time in Now York to day. " I thought ho meant Conkling had von the senate. "Conklingelected ! " I exclaimed. "I don't know anything about Jonkling , " ho replied "but Jroquois , .ho American horse , has won the En glish Derby , and if you will turn the : ornor I will introduce you to thu man vho raised him. " He introduced mo to a tall , gray- mired cropped big red-faced - , , , easy- alkiug old nmn , Mr. Aristidos Welch , if Chestnut Hill , near Philadelphia. Ir. Welch reminded mo somewhat of iimon Cameron by his easy affability , eve of political gossip , hospitability nd fondness of communication. Ho s probably ( ! 7 years old , and was born i the Cumberland valley of Ponnsyl- ania , at Shipponshurg , near the birth- )1aco of James Buchanan , and was , I ) cliovo , n paymaster in the army a liile. Ho has boon a sporting man , nd is a raiser of fancy stock , and has largo acquaintance with public men. "Mr. Welch , " said I , "how much id you got for Iroquois ? " "Isold him with all my yearlings , bout twenty in number , two years go to ( lie Lorillard Brothers , they laying about § l,000upioco. It was the ast crop oat of my great breeding tallion Leamington. Alas ! " oxclaim- dMr. Welch , "there are no Ltaming- ons now. But 1 have got Alarm , mt 1 think is a line sire , too. Leam- ngton in dead. Charter Foster , the porting editor , was with the brothers orillard , and I said to him : "Toll George Lorillard to buy that thin irown colt , as ho is thu best in the hole lot. Foster was not quick enough jout it , and I said to Pierre Lorillard eon after : 'I will give you § 'J,000 for roquois. " lie said ho would keep im. " "J low did you got Maggie B. B. , Ir. Welch ? " "J paid ? 1,800 for her to Littell , alerting lorting man , who bought her from ip grandson of Henry Clay. He iiiscd her and named her for Maggie t. Beck , the daughter of Senator lock , of Kentucky , who wan a beau- iful girl and in love with young Clay , a ho with hor. But as no was a ht- lo too convivial , and her parents por- Huadiid her to marry the nephew of Coi-c Ian , the Waflnington'hankcr , and ho dfod while a bride. Maggie ran n Hovoral races , and before she was un down I got her and bred her to jeamington. Leamington won sever- ill races and been broken down on the turf. I forgot , now , " said Mr. Welch , with an evasive look , "just what I , 'avo for Leamington , but I want to ell you a point well to bo made in this aco. The English will bo claiming hat Troquois iu of full English stock , vhorcas the sire of Iroquoin' dam was 'ioston , an American horse forty years . ( o. Boston was the greatest racer of us tiino , and won a § 20,000 puree 'rpm Fashion , the other great racor. Liiko ourselves , the cross was betwnon America and English racing stock. " "Well , Mr. Welchdid you send out to Kentucky and get blue grass to feed Iroquois on' ( " "No ; wo have plenty of blue grasi in Pennsylvania , and the same lime Btono. L fed him on good oats am chopped lood , and lot him got watui and grass on my farm , Limestone ii necessary to make a racer. Englani is nearly all lime or chalk. You re quire high , bracing , yet temperate cli mate and elevation to made gooc stock. For yeara J bred trottingntock and had Lady Theme , the greates trotter of her day , which brought § 20 , 000. Harold , the line young racer was of Maggie J ! . B , , by Leamington too. The ; puce on my place forsorvinj Leamington to marcs was § ; 150 apiece A hundred guineas is often obtained ii Em-land. " lfAro you surprised at the result o the race , Bin Welch1' ? ' " , 1 did not expect Iroquois t < win it because of his trainer. Loril lard got a drunken Englishman namoi Brown to train his animals , and In has been drunk for a year in thu stii bloa. Recently Ijorillurd has had Put year , of South. Carolina , an American to train for him , and there has beei an improvement. Lorillard himself I have understood , only backed Ire quoisfora place , although the bottini against the hon > o a few weeks ago wai one hundred to ono. I don't expoc the Americans will over win thoDorh again. " "Why not ? " "Because this race is an oxcoptiona chance for us. You BOO wo have to go boys to ride out of the gutter , so ti speak. Over there a jockey lik < Archer , who rode Iroquois , goea to th track in his own coupe. Lorillard go this Archer to ride for him , and hav ing the best homo and the best rider too , had the two coincidences of century. Archer receives a rotaino from one man of 810,000 a year , fo the privilege of calling on him if du sired. Another man pays him § 5,00 for the second call. After that ho i paid 81,000 to 81,500 for a mount ii addition to the retainers. He enl fell to Lorillard this year by not boin' called upon , Iroqtiois was beaten little while ago by the same horse Peregrine , which ho beat to-day , because cause his rider started him oil' American can fashion , full speed at thu begin ning , and he couldn't keep the pace ute to the end. They start very nuiotl in England , and do all the tall rur ning in the last third or half a mile. Peregrine at Newmarket beat Iroquoif n neck only. This time Archer rode Iroquois , and beat Peregrine by hall a length. What I mean to say is thai wo will pay no such prices for accom plished riders. Those superior Eng lish jockeys are smart. This boy/ Archer was the very ono who euchred Parole of his victoiy a year ago by erecting the point on which Parole was ruled out. ' A Terrible Conflict. DrooUjn Kajjlo. " Streak o' lightnin'n aaid to be xmty powerful , ain't il ? " asked agen- : leman from Now Lots , as ho laid a .lircc-ponnd radish on the managing- editor's desk. " It is a force against which it ia tnposiiiblo to contend , " said the ed itor. " So I nllus s'poscd till t'other day , " said the farmer. " But if you seen what I saw Friday , you'd change your mind. " " Well , hurry up. What was it ? " " Wo had a little shower out to'ardi S'ew lAits , and 1 Been a streak o' ightnin' bavin' a hard time for a few iiinutes. Bight smart streak , too , nit it made a mintako in localities. " " What was the matter with it ? " " When I seen it fust it was foolin1 around playful like , but finally got an jyo onto n mule o' mine , what was irowsiii' , and it lit for him , I didn't think the mule was noticin' , but ho seemed to bo impressed moro'n I mowed of. That streak hadn't moro'n ' ; ot injlrcacli when ho Btraightenod. Twas hard on the lightning' , editor. ! never soon more loose electricity to he acre that there was around there or n minute. " "Mulo kick it ? " inquired the man- ni' ' editor. "Wunst. Just wtinst , and that was ho most astonished streak o' lightnin' over visited our township. But it was ; aino , editor. It was game lightnin' . " "Come to him again ? " "Well , I should onphasixo ! The econd time it was mad clear throuirh ; > ut the mule wan there. He'd nailed lis flag to the polo , cut Iho halyards nd knocked the cleats off. Ho let go , nd I guess I am geographically when say that firo-ball went four hundred ods without hittin' the ground. You ught to sco that mule grin ! But ho ladn't ' got through. " "Isn t this story finished yet ? " asked : ho exhausted editor. "No sireo. What d'yo think that ghtnin" done ? It just gave ono swish f its tail , and up it wont. Thinks I , good-bye , lightnin' , as it went up , > utin less'n a minute back it como vith four more streaks. Can't ' toll mo ghtnin' ain't got no sense ! Four lore streaks , editor , and the whole vo o' 'em went for my mulo. Then , liinks I , 'good-bye , mule1" ! "Did they got the best of him ? " I'Wait'll I toll yer. They took a leg piece , and ono of 'em went for his cad. " "Thoy wore smart , " grinned the ditor. "That fetched him ? " "But ho busted three o' Vm fust. " aid the fannervkli it aiyh. "Tin. < vent to grass , and the other two was o worn out that wo been nussin' 'em ver since , but they downed him. " "Been nursiti" them over since , IOW ? " "Took 'em right in and fixed "em ip. Thuy'ro the most grateful streaks > ' lightnin' you ever seen. I'm break- n' 'em to harnesH now , and they'll do he work o' that mule this summer. \Vill yer gimmo n notice o' thia red- fish ? Biggest ono ever growed in { .ings county. " It is remarkable what aBtatomontof acts invariably accompanies a phc- lomenal vegetable when brought to a lowspapor ollico. The agriculturist coins to think that an editor has ne appreciation of proportions till ho has teard a ruralist lie a little. GREATEST REMEDY KN.OWN.
