CAN BROKERS BE REGULATED

Will some member have the goodness to
introduce bill making it felony for the
sharks in brokers' Offices to charge customers
compound interest each month, and also q
clause in the bill compelling the broker to
give the number of the certificate of stock
bought, that when the customer calls for it
he will be able to specify exactly what stock
belongs to him. On falling market sharp
brokers charge customers with stock which
they never buy, and if it falls below the sup
posed margin the customer is notified that he
has been sold out, when in reality the broker
has simply stored away his money in his safe
and never purchased share of stock. In do
ing this the broker calculates on chances
which never fail. People hate to sell on
falling market, and not more than one in
ten does. When a man orders sale of stock
for less than he has paid for it, he simply gets
small balance returned, and the broker
keeps the rest If the customer concludes to
pay up and take his stock, the broker tells
him to ''call in the morning." and in the
meantime buys it for him. If the stock has
gone up, the broker loses on one man, but
has a score of gudgeons to make it up on.
There should be law framed, not to crush
out stock specializing, for that can never be
done, but to protect dealers from the elabor-
ate and easily perpetrated rascalities of
brokers who cannot resist the mptation to
over-reach and gouge their customers.

THE SUSPICIOUS DEATH OF SMIrH.-The
last number of the Golden Era, contains the
following suggestive item: "Mr. Trehane, in
his argument for plaintiffs in the Bonanza
suits, explained TO the court why the evil
dence of Mr.. Frederick Smith, who was
superintendent of the Con. Virginia mine
before that property fell into the hands of it's
present proprietors, was not produced at the
trial. He said Mr.. Smith met with an acct
dent of so serious a character as to render it
utterly impossible for him to be present at
that trial, that he was, in short, dead. This
was literally true. Mr.. Smith did meet with
an accident, tho effects of which were so
serious that he died. The history OF this
accident and the consequences which led to
it have never been written up. Much mat
ter pertaining to his superintendency, his
sudden taking off. together with the depar-
ture of an individual from this city for Next
co, exists, and, if carefully compiled and pub
lished, would be found exceedingly enter
tanning reading. The time is near at hand
when even members Of Congress will read
with interest an account of Smiths superin-
tendency of the Con. Virginia, of his peculiar
accident and the remarkable circumstances
surrounding his DEATH" 1t is quite time
that the circumstances surrounding Mr..
Smiths death were made public. If popular
rumOr is to be believed, Smith was knocked
on the head by some one. If these rumors
are true, it is time that the murderers of
Smith were brought to justice. II they have
no foundation, it is also time that the parties
whose names have been linked with the
crime were vindicated.

THE famine in Russia, it is predicted, will
assume proportions altogether beyond pre-

it. The Russian peasant cannot afford, at the
best of times, to eat wheat, and this grain has
been sold long ahead to the Jews and other
middlemen. What is needed is an imme-

PUGILIsTIC.-The exciting mill between
the Times editor and Trenmore Coffin con-
tinues to be the leading topic of conversation

wish to encourage street brawls. When an

pathies are always with the journalist. We

ton, would go rushing about tine city black

article. some year or two ago, that the United
States was destined to become not only the
most powerful but the wealthiest nation in

precedented rapidity with which the national
debt is being retired, must now be ready,

LESS than one year since Mr.. Gladstone
said: "Lord Bsaconsfield has contrived with
out, so far as am able to judge, the smallest
necessity or excuse, to spend five millions of
your money invading people who had done
him no wrong; and now he is obliged to
spend more of your money in establishing
the supremacy of the Queen over COM
munity Protestant in religion, Hollanders in
origion, vigorous, obstinate and tenacious in
character even as we ourselves-namely, the
Dutchmen of the Transvaal." Now that he
is in office, Mr.. Gladstone himself Is hurry
ing sepoys from India, as well as troops from
Englandto reestablish the Queens supremacy
over those same ''Dutchman of the Trans
vaal," apparently without qualm of con-
science.

related the following anecdote:
On Sunday morning, while a GER

a wandering wayfarer, or, in modern
parlanee, a tramp, appeared at his
door, pleaded his hunger, and begged
for something to eat. The deacon
looked solemn and frowningly. but
reluctantly got a loaf of bread and
began to cut it; but while doing SO
took occasion to admonish the begear
concerning the error of his ways.
After reminding him that it was the
holy Sabbath which he was desecrat-
ing, he asked him if he knew how to
pray. mo" was the reply; "Then,"
said the deacon, "Il learn you" and
he commenced 10 repeat the Lords
prayer.
But Just as he uttered the first
words, "0ur Father" the beggar in
terrupted him with the question,
What, is he your father and mine.
