ruEIIST COWSTOCK BOONv

The regulation smash announces the end OF
the latest "boom" in COmstock mines. 1t is
q long time since there was any considerable
market in these stocks, and the general opinion
was that "the bottom had dropped out " OF
the lode. This view was strengthened when
some of the leading miners abandoned work
on the lower levels. and it looked as though
the history of the Comstock lode was all but
closed The public, too, had grown out or
the habit Of investing in these stocks and had
come to look with suspicion upon the period
ical attempts to revive interest In them. The
gambling tendency on the Pacific coast, how
ever is not necessarily dead because 1t Sum-
bers, and the recently reported striking OF a
new ore dy in Consolidated California, to-
eether with improved prospects in Savage and
Ophir, suficed to start the first real boom ;"
the san Francisco Stock Exchange has seen for
several years. The most curious fact about
all such movements is the sympathetic rise OF
stocks in no way connected with the discov-
cry of new ore bodies. and all dealings in
which are obviously sheer and uDdisguised
gambling.
The whole list of COmstOcks, however. went

suspicious, forgotten its costly experience, and
plunged" after the old style, with equal en-
thusiasm and recklessness. There never is
any doubt as to the conclusion of these stock
blooms" They invariably go up like rocket
and come down like the stick. The history
and evolution of them, moreover, have been so
carefully studied and analysed on the Pacific
Coast and the people generally have had such
lively personal experience Of their ways and
manners, that there is really no longer any
room for complaints Of deception or claims
upon the general sympathy. The last boom
has apparently hit a good many people pretty
hard and will make many spectators feel
Door for some time TO come. 1t only serves to
show that impatience to get rich Is as common
a weakness as ever. and that almost any ex-
cuse for gamble will still be seized upon by
thousands who know perfectly well the
ephemeral nature and unstable character OF
the boom" upon which they bet. In all such
cases the self-contidence of the majority makes
them the victims of the few who, being quite
free from illusions, know precisely when to
draw out and let the whole fabric collapse.

MR.. BAYARUS WEAK OIPLOMACH

Stories of acts of insult and outrage perpe-
trated upon American citizens on the Panama
Islhmust have come to us with 'exasperatng
frequency since Secretary Bayard took charge OF
our affairs of State The proverblal weakness Of
The United Sta es Navy, which has not failed TO
impress Central American officials. Is not suf-
fcient explanation of the continued disregard OF
The rights of United States citizens. The one
signaIly creditable act Of the Administration. its
emphatic acknowledgment Of our treaty obligar
lions during the Prestan rebellion by sending
military and naval expedition 70 Panama in 1885
must have demonstrated to ai the Central Amer
lean STATES that this country ~as we'll able to pro-
tect its own interests. But tho continued con-
trasl between the prompt and Incorporating
resentment on the part of England, France and
Germany of any affront offered to their subjects
and citizens, and the weak, trivial and seem
ingly insincere parleying which is the only re-
suit of any fragrant abuse of our people, operates
to our serious disadvantage and really invites
affront
Secretary Bayard is not only wholly unable
to meet this situation, but he cannot even COM
prehend it. His deplorable want of judgment
stands in the way Of his knowing an insult
when he secs one His foolish exhibition Of
tcsty tyranny over the Cutting affair. in which
both fact and Justice was against Us, his utter
inability to meet the Canadian situation, and
his steady neglect to care for our interests on
the Isthmus, clearly show how completely unfit
he is for the place he holds. Good Judgment
and resolution would quickly teach these POM
pous little fellows down in Central America
