From the Philadelphia Times.

From the Philadelphia Times.
The element of romance which inev-
itably attaches to the name of Wall
street perhaps explains something of
the charm which the street exerts over
the entire country. To even the layman
In these matters the great financial CEN
ter Is invested with a certain interest
quite different from the prosa.c drudg-
cry of ordinary business activity. 1t Is
only on some such basis that the attrac-
ton of Wall street for the general pub
lie. which has been evidenced In so
striking manner in the past few
weeks, can be entirely explained.
A great popular interest in specula-
ton such as that which created the
South sea bubble or the great Missis-
sippi scheme has swept over America
and is not vet spent. 1t Is estimated
that fully million dollars week has
found its way to Wall street during this
excitement. These "speculat tors" have
been for the most part entirely ignorant
of Wall street life. They have entrusr-
ed their money to the most fantastic
schemes and placed all that they have
to show for their labor and economy to
all the world knows and should have
known, was extremely disastrous. The
charm of Wall street, paradoxical as 1t
may seem, has been rather enhanced
than diminished by the experience.
The fascination of gambling, and even
the mere desire to get something Tor
nothing, partly, not entirely, explains
this popular excitement. Or rather the
craze is stimulated by these and yet Is
still more deeply rooted. 1t is the ele-
ment of romance at work. the love of
| treasure hunting greatly simp'ified and
modernized, but as irresistible as ever.
| The hunt for gold has much the same
| fascination, whether it be hidden in
some pirates cache or in an up-to-date
safe deposit vault. Suppose a man to
| dig up a galleon on some .onely island,
| his rakish schooner standing guard in
| the offing while he, by the blaze Of a
great fire of wreck wood, measures in
gots by the bucket full, in the most APP
proved manner of the romantic novel
| Such an adventurer might accumulate
wealth more quickly, but he would en-
| joy the romance of his situation nc
more than the "speculator' who reads
of the upward movement of a favorite

ing themselves up into state
of intense indignation. Things are all
going wrong in South Africa, and the
conduct of the British campaign is
harshly criticised. From the very start
it was difficult for London to believe
that all was going we'll when so many
troops were falling without compen-
sating advantage; and the news of the
last few days has confirmed the worst
fears and gloomiest forebodings. Aside
from Methuen's frightful casualty list,
the news is disquieting because of it's
renewed revelation of the fighting abil-
tiles of the Beers. They are displa ying
military sagacity of the highest order.
Great things were expected Of Butler
as soon as the transports should ar
rive with their tens of thousands of
troops. But these troops are now there
and nothing has been accomplished.
On the contrary reverse after reverse
has been reported, and London Is be-
ginning to wonder where it is all going
to end.

GULLLBlIITY OF THE PUBLIC.

world. The figures which express the
fortunes locked up in it's narrow boun-
daries are so great as to convey no very
definite idea to the lay mind but an in
definable sense of power and fascina-
ton. Well, then, when even very
poorly accredited representative Of wall
street comes forward with alluring
promises he borrows something OF the
fascination of this treasure house.
The press throughout the country has
been crowded for months past with col
umns upon columns of advertising, very
black as to headlines and very indefinite
as to details, which have made the most
fantastic promises Of gain. Should the
same persons who offered to ''guaran-
tee such enormous profits have made
their appeal in person their influence
would doubtless have been very mucn
less. There is a certain dignity OF
course in the printed word which lent
weight to these propositions. Here we
find a man without any credentials Of
fering to guarantee" $40 per cent. =
year on investments, and having en-
trusted to him some three millions of
dollars of very hard earned money. The
surprising variety of offers of similar
nature are also wonderfully successful.
Should such offers have been made in
the name of any other interest than
that of Wall street they would have
been laughed at. No other activity
could have induced so many people To
| invest upon so preposterous a promise.
The name of no other street in the
world calls up SO strong and well-de-
! fined a mental picture as that of Wall
| street. The name of Wall street Is
| ofterer seen in print and heard in con-
versations than that of any other thor
oughfare. The greatest fortunes anu
| probably those most quickly acquired
| the world has ever known have been ac-
! cumulated in this narrow center. It's
| name gives one an undeflnable sense Of
| an enormous congestion of population
| and of business interest. 1t Is the most
densely populated street in the world.
Nowhere else are to be found such in
tricate hives Of office buildings crowded
! together on so small an area and filled
with such a remarkable population.
This very deep and very narrow canyon
is everywhere recognized as the exact
financial center of America and, as
some believe, the veritable capital OF
the United States. 1t is veritable
financial Marathon, if you please, wher-
the finances OF the richest country or
the globe are, in sense, dominated and
controlled. And the public interest in II
is very unlikely to grow less. AS time
goes on its struggles will become more
extended and more intense.
