Gambling in Grain.

Northwestern Agriculturist: The
introduction of Senator Washburn's
bill against gambling in grain has
aroused great opposition among the
gamblers and their organs, and, as
usual in such cases, they try to scare
farmers into opposition of the bill, on
the ground that option dealing helps
the price of grain by making the
farmer market. Such talk is twad-
die. People do not buy wheat unless
they want it, and the gamblers do not
buy it at all. They simply buy fiat"
wheat, paper obligations, wind and
nothing more. They do not cause
one barrel more of it to be kneaded in
to bread and eaten. Consumers make
the market, and legitimate buyers
serve both producer and consumer.
Betting on futures does not increase
the price of wheat any more than bet
ting on horss races increases the de-
mand and the price of horses. The
disastrous effect it has upon the mar
ket and is indirect but none the less
damaging. It drives out legitimate
buyers, gives the control of prices in
to the hands of men who care nothing
for the supply or demand, but make
or break markets by manipulations,
secret combinations and corners. If
this form of gambling cannot be
reached by law it is high time that it
should be suppressed.
There is another reason why gam
bling in grain should be suppressed,
besides the effect it has upon legiti-
mate buying. 1t is demoralizing the
whole country, because it wears re-
spectacle garb. People who would be
shocked at the idea Of buying pools
at a horse race or betting money on a
game of poker, deal in wheat futures
and consider it eminently respectable
and every village and city within five
hundred miles Of Chicago can count
financial wrecks by the dozens among
what were once their brightest and
most successful business men, caught
and bedeviled by the rage for gam
bling in futures on the Chicago Board
of Trade. That bright business men
of experience should need to be pro-
tected from the fascination of this
game for wealth may seem absurd,
but the fact remains. One small sue
cess.Eon ''fyer," the loss of which
would not be felt, fastens the letters
on the victim. He fondly imagines
he has the key to success, and the fate
of those who have gone down in plain
sight will never befall him, and does
not realize his situation until the in
evtiable call for margins" exhausts
his own savings and too often all the
money be can borrow Of confding
creditors besides. Gambling in wheat
should not have single friend or
supporter among farmers. With one
: voice they should call it's extermina-
ton, and a return to legitimate buy
ing Of all farm products.
Training in the schools Of agricul-
ture give young men the fruit of the
experience of the men who have trav
eled over the road they propose to
follow. Why start at the beginning, if
by using the knowledge that others
are ready to give, one can start well
along the road to profit and success?

OBITUARY..
James r. Osgood.

BosToN, May ia cable despatch re-
celved this morning announces the death
in London of James r. Osgood, the emf
nent publisher. Mr.. Osgood's identifca-
ton with American literature is so con-
spicuous and so honorable that his name
is literally household word in all por-
tions of the world where the English Ian
guage is read or spoken. His life until
within two years was passed in Boston.
AS senior member of the firm of Fields,
Osgood & Co. and then of James r. Os-
good & Co., he stood in the very front
rank of American publishers.
In 1890 he became a member of the
London firm of Osgood, McIlvaine & Co.,
the foreign representatives of Harper 6
Brothers. Since that time he had fire.
quently renewed old acquaintances and
revisited familiar scenes in Boston. and
his hundreds of friends will be panied as
well as surprised at his death.
Mr.. Osgood was born in Fryeourg.
Me-, February %, 1886, and grad
uated from Bowdoin College in 1854.
Afterward he began the study of
law with Shepley q Dana of Portland.
Me-, but relinquished that profession
and removed to Boston there associating
with Ticknor & Co., publishers, and
with their successors. In 1871 he estab-
lished the firm of James r. Osgood g.
Co., his partners being two sons Of VIM.
d. Ticknor. Mr.. Osgood also became
largely interested in the Heliotype Print
ing Company.

FAITH DID NOT CURE.
The Death Of New York Convert to
Christian Science.

NEW YORK, May 19.-Ade1ene Louise
Valiant, eldest daughter of George Ell.
Valiant, second vice president of the
Erie railway, died suddenly of consump-
ton at her home at 50 West Seventy third
street, on Tuesday afternoon, at the age
| of s25. AS she had not been attended by
| a physician for more than 1S months her
case was one for investigation by the
coroner, in spite of the cause of death
| being manifest. The inquiry made by
| deputy Coroner Weston, discovered that
thereason she had not had medical at
tendance for the period named was be-
| cause she became convert to Christian
Science in November, 1890. This was
after she had been given up by DR.. st.
Clair Smith, of s West 3Sth street, the
elder DR.. Loomis, and other well known
| physicians.
Miss Valiant Joined class and under
went instructions in the New York City
Christian Science Institute at 96 Fifth av-
enue, which was incorporated last July.
The principal of the institution is the
Rev. Mrs. Augusta e. Stetson. She ap-
parently has not much of cure record,
but Charles Norton, the vice principal,
claims to have cured himself of consump-
ton, and 500 other people of all sorts of
complaints, including running cancers.
The circular issued by the institute in
cludes casting out devils, and raising
the dead among the cures of Christian
Science.
When Miss Valiant entered the insti-
tute she learned, under the instruction
of Mr.. Norton, the wonder worker, that
all she had to do to cure her consump-
ton was to read the Bible with faith and
to think herself cured.
A few months ago, however, although
her faith had not weakened, it became
evident that her seeming cure was but
temporary. She grew emaciated and ac-
quired the unmistakable consumptive
look. .s..r
Her mother, losing her faith, implored
her to consult a physician.
''Why, MOTHER she replied, eff you
called in a doctor, it would be making
God secondary"
On Tuesday afternoon, while sitting on
a sofa, engaged in conversation with her
mother, she suddenly sank against the
back and, without warning, expired.

MAURITIUs STORM SWEPT.
Great Loss to Life and Property by Ter
rible Hurricane.

LONDON, May 19.-Adyices from Mauri-
thus state that hurricane of unpre-
cedented violence passed over that island
April Goth, causing enormous damage to
shipping. A majority Of the vessels at
the island were blown ashore. The
western half of Lort Louis, the capital,
was devastated. Houses were blown down,
gigantic trees uprooted and that part of
the town about wiped out of existence.
The loss of life was appalling. A large
number of persons were caught in fall
ing houses and crushed to death. Others
lost their lives by being struck by flying
debris while attempting to seek place
of safety. The exact number of the dead
is not known. Every effort is being
made by the authorities to alleviate the
suffering caused by the disaster. Half
the crops of sugar, rice, coffee and pepper
are utterly ruined. The loss in this
direction is extremely heavy. Mauritius
has always been noted for its violent and
destructive hurricanes. This one ex-
ceeds in destructiveness any hitherto
known. Lowering skies and falling
barometers gave warning of the approach
of the storm.

conflict of tariffs they must be prepared
to refuse free trade to nations who refuse
them free access to their markets. The
Liberal newspapers take the free trade
side and assail Lord Salisbury's argu-
ment with ridicule. There is no doubt,
however, that his lordship's views are
received with widespread approval by
multitudes of English workingmen, and
that the Tories will be much strength
ened by the addition of a protection pro-
gramme.
The Times says: "Lord Salisbury's
lopsided scheme would involve us in
angry conflicts and leave the most serious
part of the wrong untouched. 1t is a
mere dream to suppose that a war
of reprisals against a few of the
protectionist countries, allowing the
others to go scot free, would have any
chance of acceptance in Great Britain, or
that serious proposal in that direction
would not give rise to bitter, prolonged
conflict, imperilling the unity of theyCon-
servative party and the Unionist Alliance.
1t is to be regretted that Lord Salisbury
thought it expedient to touch upon the
subject"
The Daily News commenting on Lord
Salisbury's speech, ridicules what it
terms the speakers views on protection
by halves" and adds: eff protection is
beneficial, farmers are equally entitled
with manufacturers to be protected. If
Mr.. Goschen had any backbone he would
resign tomorrow.
The Chronicle says: ''The Gladston-
ians ought to fervently pray Lord Sails
bury to deliver a series of addresses un-
til the brink of the election. Fair
trade is the inclined plane which has led
II
tion. We should not be surprised to
hear that this speech brought about the
dissolution of the Unionist Alliance. 1t
will certainly modify the country's belief
in Lord SalisburYs statamanshin.,
