WASTED SYMPATHY.

A Washington special says: If
reports are true, President Wizards
friends suffered a good deal from
the tumble in Northern Pacific
stocks. The hardest cases are those
Of Roscoe Conkling and his friend
A. b. johnson of Utica. Ccnkling
is reported to have bought freely
on advice from headquarters. until
now he is in debt to his bankers to
the amount of $50, 900.
Why in the name of common
sense is Conk9ing's case any harder
than anybody elses? He has lost
$50, 900 and can stand it. The hard
cases are those of the poor men
whose hard earnings are swept
away in a few days. But they get
NO assistance, they sink into the
whirlpool and disappear, but the
rich fellows bob up to the surface
and get sympathy. The poor men
take to crime. 60 into the gutter,
the poor house and the penitentiary.
When rich men get cinched in
stocks there is no reason for any
body to lie awake nights feeling bad
about it. Two law cases will settle
Conkling's account with his banker.
