gamblers of Wall street is one of the
most pathetic things that havehappened
since Mark Twain wept at the tomb of
Adam. The very minute the gamblers
find times tightening up on them Ly-
man flies to their relief. He couldn't
be more active in their behalf if he
were one of them himself, as he most
likely Is. His latest relief movement
for the Wall street gang is to purchase

He has also ordered that internal
revenue receipts be deposited with the
national banks of New York-that is,
in certain national banks which are
Lyman's pets-up to the par value of
all bonds deposited. That means that
those pet banks will have the amounts
of government money SO deposited to
lend out, raking in the profits them
selves. What soft snap it must be to
run national bank in New York city,
provided it is one Of Lyman's pets!
He furnishes money government mon
the interest. Of course Mr.. Gage is
doing all that as matter of philan-
thropy. Does he ever rush to the aid
Of the masses of the people? Not that
