DEAD SEA FRUIT,

Our telegraphic press dispatche.
nave reported the ~"skidooing" o
Morse to Europe, and that the grand
jury of New York are wanting hin
back and wanting him pad. Bu1
whether he is ever a~pprehended or not
he has had a crimp put in his ambi-
tious and overvaulting career that will
not only ''hold him" for awhile and fol
aye; but will badly disfigure contreres
of his iIk.
Charles w. Morse was one of the
"Big Four primarily responsible fo1
the recent financial furry and panic.
The big amalgamation of coastwise
steamship companies which he was
undertaking to bring about has gone
into the hands of a receiver and the
most cherished plan he has entertained
since he came down from his tathsr's
little bank in the State of Maine and
undertook to float securities on every
thing in sight, has gone awry.
1t will be ~bered that Morse
vas one of the owners of the chain of
banks which were cleansed early IN the
game by the clearing house ~associa-
ton. He swore nightly tina he would
no. resign from the directories, when
ordered to do so, but he soon changed
his mind. Little by little his hand has
been called and he has been compelled
to reIlnquish his hold upon the various
enterprises.
He had a bulldog grip on the steam
ship combination, and he seemed
particularly determined that nothing
could induce him to give it up. On
several occasions of late it has been
rumored that the subsidiary lines
which he had acquired had passed back
to their original wners, or that a re-
ceiver was about to be appointed, but
these rumors were denied.
Now comes the defni ~oun
ment that the receiver has been APP
pointed, and Morse ''sinks like the
seaweed into whence he came"
1t is one of the most wholesome signs
of h time. The business world does
not need men like Morse. He has never
been a producer. He has been from
the first an oily manipulation and a
shrewd Spectator. Aside from the
in copper which brought about
the late financial depression, he has
been a disturbing element in the bust
ness of the country for a long time.
He has shaken confidence to its very
center. Had he not been taken in
by the clearing house of New
York there is no telling how far he
have gone with his fictitious
d~otations.
The passing OF Morse is welcome.
