The Gambling Evil.

The man who CANDLES on the
price of cotton or wheat, the turn Of
a card, or the fall Of a dice, must
take his medicine.
There is no alternative; nine out
Of ten who gamble lose, Only the
men who run the game ever make
money.
And gambling is gambling, no
matter how much the attempt may
be made TO hide behind the alto
gether respectable name of specu-
lating.
Call it what you will, it is all
gambling, and the man who persist
emily follows it is pretty apt to 60
headlong to ruin, sooner or later.
No man knows what the price Of
cotton will be and no man who sits
In a poker game with a pair Of aces
and kings, can be sure that the man
who sits opposite him hasn't in his
hands three queens or a full house.
Gambling is gambling, whether
you bet on the turn of a card, the
toss OF a dice, or the price Of cotton.

DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES.
A Word Personal.

The editor'of The COMMONWEALTH
has heard it suggested that the sale
Of the Enterprise to two former en-
ployees OF The COMMONWEALTH is a
part Of a deal by which the editor Of
this paper would control both the
Greenwood papers. We desire to
say frankly that there is absolutely
nothing in this. The editor and
owner of The COMMONWEALTH had
not the slightest knowledge Of the
impending change in the ownership
Of the Enterprise until after the deal
was closed, and the news of it came
TO him as a bolt from a clear sky,
As we understand it, the young men
had an opportunity and following
a laudable ambition to 60 into bust
ness, took advantage Of it. The
editor Of The COMMONWEALTH has nc
connection with the Enterprise, di.
rect or remote.
In this connection, we desire to
say that our best efforts will be given
TO the maintenance of the standard
set for the paper when the
present owner took charge a year
ago. II requires hard work and
lots of it to get out a tirst-class
newspaper, and this can be done
only by having a competent force
of men. For the present, we are
somewhat handicapped in this re,
spect, but this deficiency will soon
be supplied, and we desire to as.
sure our friends and patrons that
THE COMMONWEALTH will come Ia
them regularly every week, with
words Of cheer and hope and Ell
enlargement for the upbuilding and
development Of Greenwood,
Mr., Otis G, Blow, who has So
efficiently and faithfully conducted
the business end Of the paper for
the past year, will remain in hat
capacity, and will appreciate any
fayors that may be extended to the
paper, or to him personally
Mr.. b. b. Barnes, formerly on the
local staff Of the Enterprjse,i is now as.
ISOLATED with The COMMONWEALTH in
a like capacity, and we will appre.
ciate any fayors shown him.

The southeaster which broke over the
harbor Wednesday night and ripped
and roared in fierce blasts of anger
until late yesterday morning made
playthings of big ships, wrecks of
wharves and loaded the outgoing tide
with fiotsam that collected and piled
would have overtopped Mount Tamal-
pals.
A number of small vessels foundered,
some were driven ashore. With these
exceptions the damage, although gen
eral, was not particularly serious. Few
vessels that were in the harbor, either
at anchor or moored alongside the
wharves, but show some bruises. In
some cases plates will have to be re-
placed. Ship carpenters and riggers
will be busy for many days and the
Harbor Commission repair department
has ahead of it a huge task of patch
ing.
From Meiggs wharf to Hunters Point
the storms track could be traced by
broken wharves and damaged vessels.
Bits of scow schooners and barges, rail
road ties and scraps of crushed boats
dotted the waters of the harbor and
industrious beachcombers reaped a
rich harvest of firewood.
A summary of the damage done to
shipping reads like report from Port
Arthur after a Japanese business call.
The navy training schooner Ernest
was torn from her anchorage off Yerba
Buena and driven high and dry on the
beach. She was damaged considerably
and will cost Uncle Sam a pretty pen-
ny, considering her diminutive proper
tions, to put into shipshape again.
The ship Eclipse, at Greenwich street
wharf, carried away her moorings and
drifted on the bark Edward May, car
rying away the latters martingale and
cathead. The Eclipse had her wheel
house carried away and sustained other
damage.
The steamer Berkeley, leaving Oak
land at a. M, had her coal gangway
doors stove in, but temporary repairs
were made and the boat continued or
her trips. The steamer Oakland, while
making her trip from this side OF
the bay, had one Of her life boats lift
ed out of it's davits by high seas, which
carried it away, and the force of the
wind blew in her two main sliding
doors and broke several windows or
her storm side. The steamer Transit
also had her share Of trouble, for q
schooner drifted down into the out
part of her berth and pinned the big
carrier firmly into her dock.

S o'clock in the morning and ttmbers

mass on the site. No one was near
the structure at the time 1t was de-
moIished. The Police Department was
at once notified.
An INSPECTOR from the Board OF
Public Works visited the place soon
after it collapsed and pronounced II

While the buildings along the beach

not suffer material damage many
fences were torn down and the tele-

No lives were lost in the western
part of the city, where the force of the
