1t is likely that very early in the
current day of the international chess
game Aguinaldo will be informed that
it is his move.
Many of the officers in the Manila

locally touch responsive hearts.

to this transaction, but the point will
not be appreciated by the people.
Now the attorneys are going at it
right. The bar here, with it's strong
membership of men identified with the
Islands, should be able to furnish the
commission some valuable direction or

committed by rulers since the date OF
the Christian era are so damning as
these. or so clearly expose the high
offender TO the terrific scorn of man
kind
The authors Of this Indictment, so
ably presented by the Star, keenly felt
that the usual liberality of a dry
goods house towards it travelling
drummers afforded no precedent for a
like Iiberality on the part of the Re
public in the expense account of the
President To have heightened a
sleeve at the public expense was a
gross violation Of the public confid-
ence, and TO burden the overtaxed re
venues Of the Republic with the ex-
pense of ironing a hat was a symptom
of the deepest depravity in the opin-
ion of men who believe that rat holes
are sufficiently commodious for gov
eminent Offices. These sensitive and
patriotic persons have the undoubted
right to insist that President Dole
should have stolen a ride, from San
Francisco to Washington, on the trucks
of a freight car. If discovered and put
off, Mr.. Dole could have followed the
example Of General Coxey, and enter
ed Washington on foot and camped
in Lafayette Square instead of enter
ing the Arlington hotel. They have
the right to criticise Mr.. Dole for not
appearing before President Mckinley
with a coat the sleeves of which stop
ped at the elbows. They would have so
if detailed in his place. They
have the right TO complain because
Mr.. Dole entered the White House
with hat 'irOned at the public ex-
pense," instead of a battered plug,
washed ashore from some stranded
vessel on the KoOlau coast. They
would have, as his substitutes, readily
exhibited rimIess hats as evidence of
their financial integrity in public ex-
pense
1t is understood that if the popular
verdict is not against Mr.. Dole on the
indictment, or if President
Mckinley does not change his grossly
defiant attitude of keeping Mr.. Dole
at the front, a final Indictment will be
entered by the Organ, charging with
all the frenzy of personal hate, that
Mr.. Dole ON two occasions ordered tea
to be sent to his private rooms in the
Arlington, at an enormous extra ex-
pense.
This charge will finally put Mr.. Dole
in the Bulletins political grave, which
is now yawning day and night for the
bodies of Republican apOstates.

ers that our political methods are

STOCK GAMBLING.

The Advertiser is unreservedIy in
favor of a stock market, and general
dealings in stocks.
Such dealings equalize values and
make them firm They make more re-
liable bases OF credit, and foster the
best commercial enterprises. Without
quick facilities for exchanging stocks,
or converting them into cash, a trad
ing community is crippled
Every community is, unfortunately,
subject TO crises or booms, ending in
variably in disaster to many. The
Advertiser desires, if possible, to re-
duce the number of "shorn lambs"
and lame ducks" that appear after
a crisis.
The periods of reaction are distress
ing, and demoralizing TO Legitimate
business. The reaction from the spec
ulative fever in real estate on the
Mainland which commenced in 1873,
continued for five years. During this
period legitimate business became so
depressed that the increase in bank
ruptcies was frightful.
A happy medium in values is the
ideal commercial condition, but at
present it is not attainable.
1t is legitimate reward for shrawd-
ness, forethought and study that even
unusual profits be paid But the mere
gambling in stocks is as unwhOlesOme
as dealing in lottery tickets. This has
been said a thousand times. The
dividing line between Legitimate"
operations in stocks, and mere gamb-
ling in stocks is not easily discover
ed. And because it is not readily dis
covered the public that insists on put
ting the che-fa players in Jail, tolerates
and even approves of the widest stock
gambling.
The very indefinite idea of what
values" are tends to promote specula-
ton. The laws which govern values
are little known, and are obscure.
Values are often temporary, and are
simply what the community makes
them. Here temperament, and the in
fiuence of the crowd" are manifest.
These values depend upon beliefs, and
beliefs shift and change. OF course if
all had the same knowledge of facts,
there would be a general uniformity
in beliefs, and therefore in prices.
Many spectators in stocks safely
ignore real values. They speculate on
the changing public mind. They read
it's tendencies, and know how it is in
fiuenced. The fact that the buying
public believes that a stock has a GER
tain value is just as reliable fact,
for speculative purposes, as the fact
that it has actual value. 1t is the same
intuitive knowledge that some poker
players have of the conduct of men in
that game.
The Advertiser deprecates the put
ting of the stock market here on the |
same footing as race betting, or lot
terry business. But while all dealing
cannot be made strictly legitimate,
every effort should be made to eX-
clude the purely gambling element.

CORRECTING THE n. Y. sun,

The N. Y. Sun publishes, in its cor
statements regarding the incidents of
President Dole's visit to Washington
that are not correct, and deceive it's
many thousands of readers.
1t is not true that any considerable
number of persons here believe that
Mr.. Dole has misused public moneys
ON his trip to Washington.
1t is unfortunately true, that several
persons possessed of a local organ call
ed The Star resolved to end MIR. Dole's
political career, and diligently sought
through the records of his acts for five
years to bring such indictments
against him for high crimes and mis-
demeanors, that he would refuse
through terror alone, to accept office
in the future.
The result of many weeks of patient
investigation, and the most searching
inquiry was an Indictment against Mr..
Dole more severe in its charges, and
more eloquent in its sweeping denun-
Citations, than the superb historical in
dictment drawn by Burke against War
rem Hastings. The adroit conspira-
tors against Mr.. Dole's political sue
cess. with a perfect knowledge of the
art of arousing public indignation, art
fully drew the indictment with two
distinct counts, in one of which Mr..
Dole was charged with "lengthening
the sleeves of a coat at the public ex-
pense," while on his way to Washing
ton, as the Suns correspondent relates
and in the other count he is also
charged with feloniously having his
silk hat ironed at the public expense -
before he entered the august presence
of President Mckinley.
The Sun and it's readers will natur-
ally be surprised at the mastery Sc
lection of these especially hfdeous
high crimes by fervent patriots and
their organ. Certainly no Offenses
