THE FINANCIAL OUTLOOK.

The following taken from the Salt
Lake Herald tells of the condition in
Wall street.
John w. Gates, the Chicago
plunger who recently drew out of
Wall street heavy loser, is quoted
epigrammatically on the condition of
the stock market. He is said to have
remarked that the present situation
makes him think of poker game in
which all the big winners have pulled
out and left lot of pikers trying to
get even on each other. The descrip-
ton is so perfect that it leaves little
more to be said.
The great spectators have either
won or lost so heavily during the
months since March that they have
lost interest in the game 1t is es-
timated that the decline in securities
for the current year exceeds billion
and three quarters, SO it is easy to
believe most of the heaviest holders
have very little speculative fever
left in them; and the general pub
lie, which is almost invariably at
tracted by a rising market, has been
wiped out by the continuous decline
and painful calls for margins
In spite of the tremendous shock to
speculation, the commercial and
manufacturing business of the coun-
try holds its own remarkably well.
Railroad freight deliveries are still
slow enough to arouse profanity
among shippers; the equipment of
the great railroad systems is entire
ly inadequate to meet the demands
on it; banks which shy at loans on
ordinary stocks and bonds find en-
ployment for their funds in the legi-

JAPANESE IMMIGRATION.

Japanese immigration into America
is increasing so rapidly that the au-
thorities in Washington have deter
mined to adopt extraordinary meas
ures to prevent the introduction into
the United States of not only the
Japs, but other Asiatic coolie labor.
One result of the trip of Secretary
Strauss has been to increase the
force of immigration inspectors along
the Canadian border with the view
of controlling the flood of Asiatic
immigration. 1t is stated that more
than double the number of japanese
have come into the United States thus
far in the year 1907 than came in
here during the same period last
year. Naturally the figures of the
government do not include hundreds
of Japs who have come here surrep-
titiously They have come across the
Canadian border as well as the Mex
lean border, principally without
hindrance despite means adopted by
the government to prevent the intro
duction of Jap laborers. For many
months the government has had i'm
migration commissioners in Mexico
and Canada. In practically every in
stance inspectors have reported that
Japs who reach Mexico or Canada
are bound for the United States In
quiries in the Hawaiian islands have
revealed organizations whose base it
is to procure Jap laborers to work in
the United States. They not only
provide the means, but have a way
by which Japs may easily obtain en-
trance to this country by way OF
Canada or Mexico. 1t is this sort OF
immigration the government pro-
poses to prevent. The returns from
the Canadian immigration offices
show that S,2S6 Asiatics landed at
Vancouver and Victoria between
January l and September /.

THE AGE OF SEVEN
SCORE AND TEN.

The average American can hardly
realize that there are, in various
parts of North America, persons
whose years make the so-called "old"
man or woman of, say so, seem a
vigorous young person in comparison.
Nevertheless, there are such. At
Tignish, up at the far western end of
Prince Edward island, is the Poirier
family, of which five generations are
living, great-great-grandfat great
grandfather, grandfather. son, grand
sonl The great-great grandfather
Poirier is over hundred, yet arises
at each morning, just as he has
done for half century, to go out and
tend his fishing nets, split kindling
breakfast 1t is undoubtedly the
| most remarkable family in the world.
Out in GAINESVILLE, O., lives Mrs.
Mary Masters, who is los years old.
She came from Albany to GAINESVILLE
of the railroads.
Living in East Waco, Tex, is
| Stephen Joice, who is $50 years old.
He was born in Maryland. He was
| laborer in the revolutionary army.
| Notwithstanding his remarkable age,
which is amply proved by registers
and documents in his possession, Joice
clad in the style of a hundred years
ago trudges around leaning upon a
heavy oak staff, and as far as his
strength and stamina are concerned,
might easily pass for man of 80.
Joice is proud of his distinction, and
tells many quaint stories of the early
days.
A short distance from Hot Springs,
Tex. resides a man who saw the coro-
nation of George III. He is John
Gadd, who was born in London and is
now 1872 years old, probably the old
est living person in the world. He
has eighty-seven grandchildren. He
is now nearly blind, but his intellect
is clear, and be can still walk about
and help himself.

Work on the Excelsior mine at
Meadow Lake is to be resumed this
winter. Miller B. Porter of Denver,
Colo, owner of the mine, has been
in Truckee for the past two or three
days buying supplies for the winter
and hiring miners. He has already
engaged a number of miners in Reno.
Meadow Lake, which was once a
flourishing mining town, but which
on the closing down of the stamp
mills and mines was practically de-
serted, will in all probability take on
a business aspect again this winter.
Porter will work. two shifts on the
Excelsior mine this winter.

A Related Confession.


The clarksburg News is spottins
is party and doing a good deal OF
peaching these days. Not only has
it proceeded to read Tho old war
horse leaders and COOL many OF
tile young ones as well out OF the
party. but Il follows that desperate
attempt with the following:
It is reported on credible author
ity that a movement has been insti-
tuted by certain would-be Democrat
ic leaders to capture the West vir-
ginia delegates to the national Dem
ocratic convention. which is yet one
year in advance OF us. These would
be leaders 1t is understood, are
strongly antagnostlc to anything like
Bryan Democracy which was known
three years ago as the safe and sane
brand.
1t IS needless to state that the
delegates from West Virginia who
were sent to the national conven-
ttion three years ago did not repre-
sent the wishes or sentiments of tn
rank and file fthe Democrats
the State. 1t may be true that they
represented the desires and wishes
Of majority Of the delegates who
attended the snap convention which
YVES held at Charleston to appc
them; but the wishes of the Demo
Gratis who make up the rank an,
file Of the party, and whose '. :.
are country by the thousands, were
not satisfactorily complied with
when the West Virginia delegates
voted for the men who constituted
the national Democratic ticket.
Speaking of the Charleston con-
vention 10 select delegates it fully
agrees with the criticism made by
tho Telegram at the time. It also
emphasizes the charge made by the
Telegram against the convention
held here to choose delegates to the
Charleston convention, which in turn
selected delegates to the national
convention. Not only did the Tele-
gram assert that the atmosphere of
the convention here was charged
with trickery and deception and in
sincerity, but members of the con-
vention themselves openly denounc-
cd the procedure as dishonest and
dishonorable. Now, the News itself
comes along and confirms the
charges made then.
But, is there not something deep
er in the present attitude OF the
News? At the time OF the last n"
tional conyention and thereafter that
paper appeared quite enthusiastic
and 1t strained every nerve in futile
attempts to persuade the voters Of
this section that the nominating Of
Parker and Davis was the proper
thing and IT bent every energy to
elect them. Now, 1t repudiates its
own course in that memorable cam
paign. but, with what end in view is
doubtful, unless 1t be to bring such
reflections on the leaders of the
party as viii compel them to get
down and out.

The Judge Loving case in Virginia

: If Judge Loving's story be true In
reference to what led up to the kill
ing of the young man who brutally
assaulted his daughter, as alleged,
the "unwritten law" appeals to every
protector of home and womin in his
case. and acquittal ought to be an
easy thing to obtain. Indeed. it
would seem to be only Justice that he
should be allowed to go free.
