There much, however, in the methods of Jay Gould that is worthy of attention, for he is a product of his time and of the peculiar con- is ditions now existing in this country. He has amassed so many millions that a few more can never be appre ciated by him, and still he keeps on playing his game with all the keen- ness of one who had everything at risk, although the stakes can now make no difference. The passion of gaming has now become a second nature. He sits at his table. silent and cool, while thousands make their bets on the cards which are so plain ly marked to Lim who deals. He never takes the trouble to justify his business, his contempt for those who stake their money on his play is suprei while he never fails to rake in the the board. and he spares no pains to kuow every detail of the men who come forward t dollar they have on His industry is untiring, so constantly to try issues with him and his system.

If he merely scrapes together dollars that have been wrung from others, he is a perasite, while if he creates new enterprises, he is so far a useful citizen. The final reckoning is made with him and the account closed. Thousands will breathe easier when Gould is dead, and many fine securi- ties will pass into other hands. All his dexterity, cunning and ability will leave no real impress on his fellow men. Speaks Out—The G. A. R. Fanatical Cranks. Col. Biere! To the Kansas City Times: Topeka. Kan., July 8.—Iaman old soldier and member of the G. A. R., and am heartily pleased with the manly letter of President Cleveland to Mayor Francis, of St. Louis.

From the early days of his history he never liked to take chances, and he never spared pains to be thoroughly posted. When a man like Jim came to New York, fresh from his easy triumphs Keene in San Francisco, with some millions to back him. it seemed if there was an opporent worthy of Gould’s best efforts. but Keene’s overthrow was not a difficult task, although there was a time when Gould appear- ed inclined to let the Californian go his way rather than really wrestle with him. Not very many have actually coped with him of late years in along and broad way, his power has been too great, and he has given properties than to men. He well concealed his mistakes covered his failures and never, the public knows, taken any one into his confidence. His private life is free from scandals, he has none of the vanity which so often accompa- nies marked ability and he reads hu- man nature like an open book. as own has That such a man has power for far-reaching good or evil goes with- out saying, and that he exercises it for both is certain.
