Commercial Keno.

The st. Louis Post-Dispatch in
dulges in the following sensible re-
hections on the gambling mania"
that has been developed by "option
trading in grain and other futures
in st. Louis and elsewhere. The
question is one tnat demands the Sc
rious consideration of all thinking
men, as the evil has grown to alarm
ing proportions. Read and reflect;
So far as the demoralizlng and
crime fostering effect of gambling is
concerned, we certainly have gained
but little in suppressing the wicked
faro banks and keno houses while
option trading throws the respecta-
bility OF commercial transactions
around the practice of the same vice
by large operators on Change and
by the poor employees who risk their
small earnings on "puts'' and ''calls"
in the bucket shops. Indeed the
criminal records of our great com
mercial centers during the last five
years are burdened with more cases
of fraud, abuse of pecuniary trusts
and heavy defaleations traceable to
Speculation in option deals than
have been attributed in the last
twenty to all other forms of gam
bling. The working up of a success
full corner in options involves all
the elements of conspiracy, collusion,
deception and overreaching which
obliterate the moral distinction be
tween the christie" game of faro and
actual robbery. AS to the lower
class of bucket-shops, the better class
of professional gamblers who have
obtained partnerships in some of
these establishments, by way of "ta
pering OFF, from faro dealing have
withdrawn from "the new game,
pronouncing its tricks "too low down"
for their ideas of fair play.
Our old statutes against "forestall-
ing and regrating' were framed TO
protect consumers from sort Of
speculation infinitely trivial in its
effects upon the provision markets
as compared with option dealing and
the "corneringp operations to which
it runs. Aside from this it embar-
rasses regular commerce in many
ways. 1t unsettles the elements Of
Legitimate business calculations by
putting the market ON a basis of fic-
The Russellville Democrat. [volume] (Russellville, Ark.) 1875-1898, 1882-09-28

titious transactions IN which every
bushel of grain is bought and sold
many times over at prices varying,
not with supply and demand, but
with the ascendency of "bull' or
.'bear" cliques. 1t causes unwhole-
some fluctuations in the money mar
ket and diverts capital and credit
and the attention of capable men
from business which is real and le-
gitimate to that which is ficticious
and illegitimate.
OF course nobody expects to Grad
icate the vice of gambling or even to
eliminate from commerce the element
of chance which imparts to its reg
ular transactions more or less OF the
betting spirit. But the extraordina-
ry increase of the gambling fever
traoeable to option dealing, the ra-
pidity with which it is extended to
young men of all classes, ruinously
demoralizing and uniting them for
real business, are evils which de-
mand plain speech, public education
and agitation directing general at
tention to the subject, at least, If not
restraining Legislation.

Tragedy at Hot Springs

A special telegram of the 22nd to
the Gazette give the following par
ticulars of terrible tragedy at Hot
Springs:
Sat 80 this morning the trou-
BILE which has been brewing between
Chas. Matthews, editor of the Hor
net, and the proprietors of the Ar
lington hotel, eliminated in bloody
tragedy, resulting in the death out
right of Matthews and the serious
wounding of d. G. Rugg. About the
hour mentioned, Coils. S. w. Fordyce
and Rugg were gong up the street
and met Matthews at the news stand,
opposite the Palace bath house. CO..
Fordyce accosted Mr.. Matthews, and
asked why, in addition to pursuing
him for years, he reflected on his
family during his absence, having
reference to an article in which Mat
thews spoke of the Arlington gang
having gone to the Mammoth cave
to hatch some scheme, the persons
going being Mrs. Fordyce, Col. and
Mrs. Rugg and families. To the en-
quiry Of Fordyce, no reply was made
by Matthews, except by drawing his
pistol and shooting at him, without
effect. Fordyce then struck Mat
thews several times with stick
The latter retreated, firing his pistol,
ball of which struck Rugg, who
was just behind Fordyce, taking eff
feet in his thigh and passing up into
the scrotum. Rugg then drew his
pistol and commenced firing at Mat
thews, who retreated into the street,
and receiving ball in the left tenn
pie, one through the heart and an
other in the left wrist, he fell dead
in the mud of the street, bleeding
profusely."
The affair is undergoing investi
cation and further particulars will
be given in our next issue.
