The nlniTersality Of gambling, under
the head Of speculation, is one, of the
noteworthy features Of the times: On
the face the transaction is decorous
and business like. A clergyman can 90

the cloth he wears. There is at the mo-
sment an air sof intense responsibility
about proceeding which, in fact, is d
desperate gamble with loaded dice Of 1r

system Wheat and grain gambling,
supplemented BY pork has been the pc
euliar feature Of Chicago. New York
operates M railroad telegraph and oil
stocks. Il. London the element Of nm
certainty necessary in gambling is found
s insforeign bonds. This is probably the
highest game Of the whole lot. The
dealers are diplomats, generals and ru-
lers. New treaties, new combinations,
popular disturbances, rnmors Of wars
are the teols. They take the place Of
