WALL STREET Az A SCHOOL OF
kOB@EHY,


The recent so-caned "lsIuses" or s'de-
1alcauons" In Wall street, (for stealing b.
comes fine art and must he spoken OF 20.
litely with It passes the fourth decimal) arc
but the breaking loose Of one Of the young
gold bulls from that arena Of bull fighting
and bear ba1ing eaugery. A young na1
twenty-five years Of age, educated = Val
STREET gold d-gamGler, has escaped from as
h1artless ard unprincipled set OF scoundrals
Is ever passed in the community for business
men. Doubtless befvre human court Of
Justice they could easIls dispsoye his title
to the two millions or lcee, that ke took with
him. But could court of Justice 70 one
step 5al ther back 41h Try their own title to It
how i5ext,Icab!c would be the confusion
The last haul, made by youne ketchuua, con.
traJy to the rules Of Wall street scoundrel-
Ism; was like the last dcsperats "blow BE-
loH The bell, driven home By the halcc'azed
victim of The P.ize*ring: It WIS the final
fierce grab ut the stakes By the losing gam-
bier preparatory to flight. II was robbery.
Of orcouzse--open and unblushIng, bat It was
4 robbery amoug t1hryes. Eos four years-
duripg young Ketchum's whole erperie1ce
Of business 1ife--the busintss arena In which
he has wrought, or rather fought, resembled,
In all its moral attributes, the old gladiato-
rial circns, where men, for hire, fought With
lalco and sword,
s'And died 10 make Rom N holiday"
Or they might be comparld to the bull
baIters of6pain. They nsed the feverish tel
cgrsms Of battles never fought, OF losses or
gains highly exaggerated, or rumors orinter-
vention or disaster, IS The Spanish bull, fSht.
e's used the red dags and maddening t1e-
works to Euad the bull on to his destruction,
Each Gay, each hour some one Of them was
gnred to his very vttsls, hut this only added
sst to The sport. Deposits, trust funds,
clefks' eavlrgs or steallnsf, widows' aud Or
phans' 1ivlngt, aye even minister's aecunu-
lations Of bent ss1pcnces which POOR children
fave given to the Lord With deep nnctlon
OF charitable scrFor-all were brought into
the gold room and gobbled up BY the old
sharks az relenslesely as big fish est up
little Gees. The tulss which prevailed
were s'ficsly those Of war The bears
assumed The horns, hoofs aud tail Of the
bulls, and beloved according to their best
lead-5owu, shaggy, With short tails and long
eapscity for deception. The bnlis went,
claws, roaring sonosors lies. No friendship
or alliance existed except as Strategic devi-
ces TO enable the parties to 1t to gouge each
Other. 49,
Meanwhile, with every upward lunge they
gave to gold, the eoldie1s' meat was sc.imp.
