THE examination of prominent stock
 gamblers and railroad manipulators by the New York Senate Committee or Futures and Corners brought out some
 interesting information. or all those examined Eufus Hatch seemed the most
 frank and open. The Chicago Tribune
 says:
 He took a very worldly view of the whole subject, did Uncle Rufus. He thought buying what a man does not
 want and never expects tO receive, and selling what he has hot got and d0esu t expect to get, was "straightout gam
 ble, and that the man who does the lat ter ought Co go to prison. And yet he admitted that he did IL himself when ever he thought 1t safe and profitable. and declared that ]; could not be pre- vented. This system of speculation, in hls opinion, benefited only g few per- sons. The rest who were engaged m 1t were lambs" who got fieeced, and the general public was injured by the facti- tiOus interference with prices. He knew something of all the tricks of the gam blers, and had no objection to resorting to them himself on occasion. He be- heyed that there was vast deal of stock watering, and that nearly all stocks had a fictitious value. upon which the pub hc had to pay dividends. He was op- posed to stock watering unless he was in himself; but then 4ey were nll in ]. or anything else by winch they could make money out of each other or out of the people. But the whole American people were n nation of jolly gamblers anyhow, and there was no use of trying to legislate them out of the practice. Uncle Rufus evidently enjoys the game and would have the play go on.

How anxious the Democracy Is for clvll service reform is shown by tLe fact that the Pendleton bill, while it had the solid support of the Republi. can senators. could secure the support of only six Democratic senators. It was even intimated that the Democrats who opposed #, dId not want to favor such a measure now that there was fair pros pect of their obtaining control of the public patronage. This is another evi- dence of the faci r. with which the Democracy blunders. It Is a notice to the people that thel- civil service re- form cry is simply 'ap-trap to catch votes. That they ever seriously.consid- cred the proposition Of reform no intel hgent person ever imagined, and their course ID opposing the Pendleton til throws of all disguise and leaves ihe party the outspoken advocate and sup- po-ters Of the spells system. This, con pied with the fact that the southern Democratic members are clamoring for another River and Harbor steal, will have weighty influence in determining the result in 1884 Ii Is an evidence that the Democracy can not be trusted either to fulfill their pledges or to heed the voice Of the people.
