THE GRAFTER-AND AFTER.

Grating. which used to be a
comparatively safe pastime, is be-
coming a perilous business in this
country, says an eastern paper.
Grafters, large and petty alike.
used to laugh at law, jeering at the
general public regard for decenc".
They became almost open in their
criminality, so confident had they
become that the augur eyed people
would contrive to look the other
way or wink the other eye, so to
speak. But a change has come
over the spirit of the grafter's
dream The change is brought
about by the fact that the grafters
evil doing is being found out and
after the CRATER comes the gait.
Mr.. CRATER, he of the sauve smile,
and the confident air, discovers
that he cannot steal public funds
nor accept private hush money
without running at least an even
chance of Incarceration where he
must perform an honest days work
six days in the week for term of
years.
While it is lamentably true that
many, if not most, of the king bee
grafters still enjoy liberty, If not
luxury, it is none the less true that
in many state prisons and in many
more local jails the convicted
briber, bride taker, appropriation
thief or public funds juggler is
languishing today sadly awaiting
the time when he can come march
ing to his home in very much the
same detected attitude of the
whipped cur that sinks along the
dark alleys with his tail between
his legs and his ears Topped down.
Graft-the very term has become
kissing and a reproach, stencil in
the nostrils of honorable men and
the man who CRAFTS has fallen from
his former estate of snug respec-
liability to the low level of the
sneak thief in private and public
estimation All of which, in the
language of the late John Jasper,
proves that the world do move"

MORE ACTIVITY
IN WALL STREET

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-The stock
market. while still narrow and
professional today, reflected
more active mood on the part of
that element in the. speculation.
The attitude assumed by the pro-
fessionaI traders was based on
conviction that a large short in
terest remained uncovered and
, was in vulnerable position
through the cessation of urgent
liuuidction. It was not until the
last half hour that an attempt to
take profits determined the hol-
lowness of the market and wiped
out previous gains.
News developments failed to
show any marked alteration in
condition from those recently pre-
vailing- Regarding the corn crop
there has been a marked decline
of apprehension over the amount
of damage done by the drouth.
Weather advices today showed
good conditions both for corn and
cotton. and the bulls made use of
the news TO push the advance in
stocks
The rise in the private discount

ment of gold from there to New
York. The London Statist says of
this situation:s
we can afford to be fairly lib
eral TO the United States at the
present time. In fact, if we are
not. a somewhat severe reaction
in trade may occur in the United
States and the reaction may give
that country greater power to i'm
port gold than may be comfort
able for other markets"

be. another enormous accretion Of

which may affect the loan item,
but there is no expectation that
the deposit item will be sufficiently
