THE LATEST AND BIGGEST
sWTNDLE.

Wall street has had another of those
tremendous excitements that are fol-
lowed by a complete paralysis of bus
mess in New York city, and by depres-
sion and distrust throughout the coun-
try. A conspiracy among stock spec
ulators, which is supposed to have in-
cluded Secretary Boutwell,, seems to
have succeeded in getting control OF
the gold market on last Tuesday, and
to have ruined innumerable individu-
ais and played general havoc with
business. Gold was carried up to
1921 and only receded to 134 upon
the tardy order of the Secretary of the
Treasury to sell several millions on
the next day. The telegraph says
''the order however came after the
main operations of the bulls had
been consumated. A large police
force was necessary to preserve order
and the irrepressible Fisk, Jr., was
barely rescued with his life from the
fury of the mob. Secretary Boutwell,
is severely denounced in the mercan-
tile circles, by both Democrats and
Republicans, for his refusal to sell un-
til the "bulls" had consumated their
purposes. An effort is on foot to re-
quire his resignation.
The stock gamblers realize the enor-
nous sum of eleven million dollars
from the transactions of single day.
It is curious condition of society that
makes such wholesale robbery respect
able; that condemns the Faro Bank
and exalts the Gold Room. The one
is contemplate because of the insig-
nifcance of its operations. Human
ingenuity essays no higher fights in
devices for robbing men, than the
Gold Room. The awful magnitude of
its operations compels admiration and
challenges respect. The gambler at
cards is a disreputable person. The
gambler in stocks is demi-god. The
one possesses himself of the contents
of his victims pocket. The other
overtakes him with swift and irremedi-
able ruin. The effects of one often
extend to entire families the other
involves cities and States.
Hundreds of people have doubtless
been brought from affiuence to beg
gary, and thousands irreparably in
/ iured by this latest maneuver of Wall
Street. The accumulation of years of
patient industry have been swept away;
prospects ship-wecked; hopes de-
stroyed; lives bighted, and want,
misery and hopeless beggary sub
stituted for their opposites, because
swindle of million of dollars is
so much more respectable than that of
hundreds. The press and pulpit will
not complain of it, and the statutes
against gambling will never be made
so as to prevent its recurrence.

THE FAIR GROUND.



There are above sevcnty.five horses al.
ready in the stables for the Fair. Thlshum.
Der viii be increased tomorrow. But little
other stock has yet begun TO arrive.
There are several hundred persons Upon
the ground, and great deal of activity
manifested. Half score or more new
booths were erected to-day and put In readi
ness for the opening tomorrow. Various
counties are creditably represented, among
whom are several irrepressible individuals
from Marion. Polk and Benton.
The caterers to the public taste for amuse
mOnts are beginning to arrive. Tho swing
is ready; the vclocipedo school Is running
and tho sleight.of. hand performer, Prof
Maximilian, is comfortably ensconsod in hi
pavilion improvised for the occasion.
A few minor accidents, varied tho course
of events at the Grounds today.
Marshal Froman's horse jumped upon Q
picket fence, cutting deep and ugly cash
Somebody's horse ran away with woodci

there, or why, is not known. lie certainl,

The team of Mr.. Young, from near Bar
lows gate, ran away, with some damage
And horse and buggy took advantage o
the owners absence to 60 on smashin,

The prospect for large turnout and
complete success is most promising-th,
cloudy weather excepted. If tho rain spare
us, the Fair will exceed anything ever seer
in Linn county and many Of the exhibition
that have been held under tho auspices o
the State.

wEDSEsDAY-sEcoND DAY.

The Society has extended the Fair over
Saturday, and postponed to.day's pro
gramme until tomorrow.
The weather has been shnwery, with in
dications toward evening of pleasant spell
ahead. The receipts at the gate to-day were
$470-a larger sum than yesterday. The
licenses thus far are $570. There are like
ly above twelve hundred persons here, and
the arrivals toward night increased rapidly
New representatives from YamhiIl, Lane,

these are several gentlemen from Long Tom.

We seriously ask why the State Fai1
should be continued In Marion coun.
ty? That county has enjoyed the
Fair almost exclusively from the first
It is not SO centrally situated as Linn,
is not so large agriculturally and has
no better preparation in grounds. This
matter should not always go by favor.
Linn county can do just as much for
the State Fair as Marion, and we shall
not be satisfied that it cannot do more
until she has an opportunity to try It.
Pass your Fair around, gentlemen.
