REINzE

k. Aug tNLuS AG.ahe, lNe luOSJ SpSC- tacular thigh limit" gambler that the age of Freuzied Finance has produced has added another exciting chapter to his remarkable career. This latest ex- perleuce differs materially from any. thing that he has previously encOm' tered for now, for the first time since he became a National figure, he feels the iron Of defeat. The magnificent nerve which enabled Heluze to annex, without money and without price, some O. the best mining properties in Montana and to light to staudstill, the greatest corporation the world ever saw, apparently reached it's limitations when Wall street got the ssraugle hold on the young p,unger. Heinze, young man, still ju the thirtjes as arecord which iu many features Ids like au Arabian Nights tale. Going ,o Montana when but little more than a boy and with DO other capita, than a good strong physique a clear head aud 8 colossal nerve, in less than ten years he became a figure of worldwide impor- portaDCe 10 mining aud foanciaI cir cles, ard a political dictator of almost supreme power in the Copper State, says the Portland Oregouiau.
 Time aiter time he me, and van quished tbe forces ot Standard oil, wiuuiuy now by the brute force of his loyal employees iu the mines, and again by the su5tler but equally pow eriul influence which he wie'ded in judicial circles. But Heiuze made the mistake of bis life when he shifted his lighting ground from Montana to Wal Street. Out in the wild free West, his joylal careless air Of good fellowship rallied to bis standard following On which he could depend in all emerg- encles. But in Wall Street, sentiment long ago died from lack of nuTiment and Heiuze aud the millions which he wruug from Standard oil were only little more fresh meat for the wolves.
 And yet it would be ha:dly fair to enroll this spectacular pIunger Ou the list Of the "Dowu and Outn Club. Reinze is not the first Westerner to take bis bank1oII down to Wall Street and leave it, but some of them have shown wonderful recuperative powers and there is nothing in the past record of Heiuzo to indicate that he is not the peer Of any men who have ever iu- dulged iu high finance either ID the Eass or West. Iswill never be definite ly known how much Of the credit for the remarkable victories which Heinze won in Montana is due to his own tal- ent and nerve aud how much should be apportioued to the uniayorable sentl- menJ against his opponents. Montana, in permitting Heinzs 10 take every thing he found on the Standard Oil premises that was not uaited down, was prompted less by love for HeInze than by hatred for the men he was fighting and ro0biug.
 The Montana experience of this bold operator quite clearly Illustrates that considerable elasticity is permitted in any code of morals which gives the ol octopus the worst of the bargain Without making any apologies for Heluze and his methods, iJ is perhaps good thing for the country that some such financial buccaueer as Heinze comes along occasionally and engages iu the pasttme known as lighting the devil with fire"
 Yet, withal, he iS a much oyeres i- mated person. The conditions in Butte made Heinze. A kesner crowd ot "come on men" never separated the farmer Of the east from his money than was employed by Heinze in Butte. Men long and well taught in the big schoolso of eastern graft operated to great advantage in the Greatest Mining Camp on Earth" in Heioze's interests, and their efforts and brajns made him. The miners were taught that ss long as Heipze and the Kerosene interests were at war they would have the eight-hour
