be honest. If he is, he simply
stands on the same footing with
his patron, and the transaction is gambling,
If the dealer is dishonest, as is too often the
case, it is robbery. These are hard terms,
but they are not employed idly Bucket
shop margin dealing is gambling both for
those behind the railing and those who
pass their money over. Each party to
every transaction is seeking to obtain money
from the other without giving anything in
return. Not grain of wheat nor one dol
lar in stocks ever changes hands on account
of the trading done in these places, and
nothing OF the kind is intended. Veneered
as they may be, these facts are too palpable
to be controverted. What is true of bucket
shops is equally true, with but slight modi-
fication, of very many metropolitan boards
of trade.
The figure of the maelstrom as applied
to vice is trite one, but this
evil is very like the tabled
whirlpool of the North Sea. 1t draws its
victims from every walk of life, and draws
them to ruin. Few escape with their hon
or and none without financial loss. Its cir
cles have been widening year after year I'M
til its pernicious influence is felt every
where. The profits of the business to those
in place to protect themselves are such that
they are induced to extend gambling facili-
ties to all parts of the country. This fact
alone is confession that the
whole thing is gambling and nothing
else, for what legitimate connec-
ton can the grain markets of Chicago or the
stock markets of New York have with the
petty buyer" and SELLER in Kokomo or
Kalamazoo? They may begin by selling,
merchantable value in all the world; and as
for buying, they couldn't buy the tenth part
of what they pretend to purchase If any
body feels inclined to say that these transac-
tons are honest, and that bona fide sales and
purchases are made why is it that the man
with dirty shirt and who wears
straw hat in winter is compelled to
deposit $40 or $40 when he sells an article?
Suppose a farmer goes to commission mer-
chant to sell the 1 900 bushels of wheat that
he has raised, would the commission man
ask for "margins?" If not why not? Here
is an inconsistency that has been overlooked,
and one that will be hard to explain.
Within the past few days, in the city of In
dianapolis, not less than three promising
young men have been ruined morally by
being induced to gamble in grain. But for
the seductive hope of gain through
such methods. but for the fact that
such methods have not been
reprobated as they deserve, these men would
have been spared lifelong feeling of hui
initiation and shame. But the business goes
on unchecked, and fresh victims are de-
manded and supplied daily. Bankruptcy,
disgrace and crime follow close in the wake
of this immoral business, and it is impera-
tive that it be exposed in all its rottenness.
1t is poison permeating and paralyzing So
ciety,

THE most persistent seeker after self-glori-
fcation in tine papers, so far as the returns
are in from Indiana, is State Senator Faux
ner, of Ripley county. When he visits any
city he goes to the Democratic newspaper
and has himself interviewed on political mat
ters representing that he is the bosom friend
and confidential adviser of Senator Voor-
bees. In fact, he is an attache of one of Mr.
Voorhees's Senate committees--a janitor,
presumably---and his political information
is about as accurate and intelligent as that OF
all average boot black. Faulkner is q Demo
cratic statesman of the primitive school.

THERE is such thing as being "a leetle too
nice" and that is about the condition OF
certain Boston preachers. They declined to
read Governor Buffers Thanksgiving proc
lamation from their pulpits on account of
Its irreverehce and sloppiness." About
three-fourths of them also declined to read
the Presidents proclamation. Another year
of Butler as Governor might restore common
sense to these Massachusetts preachers and
that is what they are wanting.

THERE seems to be an epidemic of crime
all over the country Not a day passes but
the papers publish accounts of whole fam
misdeeds of less degree. 1t is time net
for mob violence, but for a fair aud firm and
speedy enforcement of law. Unless this be
done, mobs are as sure to follow as night
follows day. Courts and prosecutors and
officers of the law generally have it in their
hands to-keep the country free from mobs.
Let it be done.
