you fellows charge the poor devil Of

With dismal 9roan, the Governor

When the nihilist finished this alb
surd and libelous tale, he took his
foot off the editorial desk. laughed
hoarsely and departed. Exchange.
Wall street Comp: lining.
Wall Street is bowling about the
dull times. There is very slow sale
for stocks. The thicving shops in that
rendezvous of robbers are reducing ex-
penses and dispensing with much of
the proflse para hcrnalia of their Of
fees in more prosperous times.
\ recent report from this center of
robbery says "brokers are terribly in
the dumps and raZeeiny ex,enses all
around; smaller Offices are being taken,
the news service cut down. private
wires abandoned, and one ticker made
to answer where two We're formerly
used: clerk hire is reduced and in
every way possible expenses are bein &
diminished. Even in the small bust
ness to-day it is safe to say that more
than half was washes and manipula-
tons, there is positively no demand
worth speaking of for anything from
! any quarter and what dealings are sent
out mostly originate on the floor of the
exchange
1t is some consolation to honest peO-
pie that trouble has come upon these
usurers and money changers. They
have inaugurated II policy that has inn
poverislcd one-half of the people. and
yet they expect the same number to
come up to Wall Street to be tieeccd.
Wall Street did not appear to be con
yersant with the fact that even money
gamblers would DO afflicted by Il gen
eral staCnatiOn in trade. For time
the usurer and money gambler can
fatten off the poverty of the people,
bet when the bottom drops out, there
is an end to the fleeing business.
Business has reached such low
cbb that the borrowers are unable to
put up security any longer, and if they
are loaned money, they are unable to
pay debt. Gradually, also, the deal
ers in stocks fail and retire from the
business. and the lambs cease to come
up to be shorn and Wall Street is de-
serted When Wall Street finds that
an increase in the circulating medium
is essential it will order Congress to
wig-wag on the financial question. As
nothing will be done by Congress in
that direction until Wall Street sends
III the order, the sooner these gold
gamblers get III the dumps the better
for the country.
