CIR ANKS AFTER KEENE-


operators in Wall street, is, it seems, re-
ceiving many anonymous e,ters
of threatening character from
persons who say that they wsre
financially ruined by him during the re-
cent stock gambling panic. They attrib-
ute the great fall in the prices of stocks
to him.
Immediately after that panic the New
York newspapers contained the statement
that he had made as much as 10000.
Naturally many of those who had lost their
money jumped to the conclusion that he
won the money which they lost, and that
he virtually robbed them. 1t is not prob
able that he will be assailed by any of the
writer's OF these anonymous letters,
though if there is a crank among them
there is danger that his Wall street ca
reer will be suddenly ended.
1t is not probable that he made half
as much money as report said he did. No
doubt his winnings were large, but he was
careful not to give the exact figures The
successful Wall street operators like to
see stories in the papers giving them cred
it for winning large sums Of money. These
stories help to make them leaders among
the SPECTATORS. and tend to strengthen
popular impression respecting their abin
ty TO foresee whether the prices of stocks
are going TO advance or decline.
A great many people who had small for
tunes or considerable savings were finan-
cially ruined during the few hours the stock
gambling panic lasted. 1t was reported
that thousands were made almost penni-
less. 1t may be asked why they riskel
all they had and all they could borrow on
stocks that were so largely speculative.
They wanted to get rich quickly. and.
hence speculated in stocks which prom
ised TO advance many dollars a share in
a very few days. Besides, the most of
them had no intention of risking all they
had. They held their stocks on mar
gins, and when the market began to de-
cline rapidly they had to put up add
tional margins. The can for more mar
gins continued until their financial re-
sources were exhausted, and then they
We're sold out.
Il is a pity that men who have a few
hundred or a few thousand dollars saved
up, or have comfortable little fortunes, do
not keep out of Wall street. They are the
lambs that are heeced by sharp opera
tors with great fortunes to influence the
market.
Keene is of course made much of in Wal
street because of his phenomenal success
and his great wealth, but is he o. any
benefit to the city in which he lives or to
It's people? Does he put his wealth to any
good purpose? Does he give employment
to a large number OF people or invest his
money in enterprises that are helpful %
the toiling masses? He has not a reputa-
ton for doing any of these things. Is 1t
to be wondered at therefore that he re-
ceives anonymous letters which are ca
culated to annoy. and perhaps to alarm
him?

Did you ever notice how much Rich

off-hand whether 1t was the Prince of
Wales or the chief of Tammany Hall AL
though certain mildness in the eve that
is not to be seen in that of Croker made
1t probable that the portrait was that of

SYMPATHY FOR THE BoERs

1t is almost certain that a resolution of
sympathy for the Beers will be introduced
into Congress. What action would be
taken on it? 1t is probable that the Re
publican leaders would endeavor to have
it smothered in the committee having
charge of it. but would they be success
full in tactics OF that sort? There are
several things which seem to indicate
that the administration is against any
sympathy being shown, or assistance rem
dered, the Beers by the people of this
country. 1t is probable that it takes the
position that it is far better to retain the
good viii of Great Britain.
If pro-Boer resolution should be intro
duced into Congress the chances are thar
it would be adopted That body is respon-
sive TO the people and 1t is evident that the
feeling for the Beers is steadily growing
stronger The great meeting of the Unit
ed Irish Societies of New York. which
was held in that city on Sunday night.
adopted resolutions which win find a
ready response in the hearts of the great
majority of the people in every part of
the country. Many such meetings have
pttu uelQ anu many ulNIe VIII pc The
sentiment in behalf of the Beers is Likely
TO become SO strong. that the President
will think probably that he made a mis-
take in not complying with the monster
petition that was sent him asking him to
attempt TO bring about a peaceable settle
ment of the differences between the Brit
ish and the Beers.
Unless all signs fail, sympathy for the
Beers will become so general If they are
able to hold out a few months longer, that
this government will have some trouble
10 prevent the neutrality laws from being
violated in the effort 90 render the Beers
assistance. The British press is constant
ly abiding to the good feeling manifested
in this country towards England 1t is
probable that there is a feeling of good
will to Great Britain on account of the
fact that she stood our friend during the
Spanish American war, but the hearts Of
the people are with the Beers.

why navy is needed for the protection
