argument concerning the merits of Che

THE New York papers frequently raise the
question, what becomes of all the ruined
merchants and stock brokers' of that city?
The reply is, they "go down" But once in
a while they come to the surface again. This
wss the case with one Edward Ensign, once a
member of the Stock Exchange, and of
excellent character. He went down-and
when he came up, 1t was on a charge OF
stealing % cents under the meanest circum-
stances. Now it is quite probable that Mr..
Ensign. when "stock broker" had stolen
many times great deal more than 25 cents,
but the thefts were committed in legal
way; that is to say, in way recognized on
the Gtock Exchange, and the transactions
were set down to the credit of business tact,
and helped to build up his excellect charac-
ter. To steal 25 cents after he had failed as
q stock broker is against the law, and Mr.,
Ensign will have to undergo discipline on
Blackwe,rs Island.
