They are worth millions, but they are never hippy un lw eeolng someone else ruined. Gat and Armour are looked up to, honored and respected .the same n. Rockefeller and their money Is accepted with glad, hand and a responsive amen by churches built up and maintained by the wealth stolen from the poor. The rich are becoming richer and the poor are becoming poorer Is truelsm, having its foundation In the stock and wheat gambling pits of the large cities of the United States. Not Lpnly does it ruin men of mature years. but is making gamblers of the young men of the nation who try and emu late the millionaires by plunging Into the vortex of gambling without any re gsird as to whose money they loose In the speculation. The millionaires have bought their way into the church and Into good society, and b the same token expect to buy their way Into heaven. . . STOCK GAMBLING. Another living example of the pernt clous effects of stock gambling Is ex emplifted In the confession and arrest of Frank G. Bigelow, president of the First National bank of Milwaukee Qonorad and respected by, all who knew him, elevated to positions! of honor and trust; rated as a millionaire and having a family standing high In the realm of society, he was not satis, fled with being a millionaire with a life position paying at least $30,000 a year, but must rush Into the gambling pit and not only lose ail of hU own money, but a million and a half dol lars entrusted to his care and keeping by confiding friends and associates who have assisted him to acquire a competency. This Is the effect and Invariable result of stock gambling. Stock gambling is considered as le gitimate a business by the commercial world as selling dry goods or grocer ies. It is participated in by men worth millions who have it In their power to sway the prices on 'change and ' bring ruin to hundreds of happy home. They can make or break a man at pleasure, and It matters not that they have filched the money lost from their employers or from the bank deposits of the poor laboring people, aa long as they, can pile up fabulous fortunes upon the wreck of suffering humanity ( it matters not to them how many men re ruined or how many Innocent wo ment and children's lives are bllghte or homes made desolate, and these same men often are recognised as th pillars in the fashionable churches in the great cities. It is not strange that Dr. Gladden objected to accepting the $200,000 do nated by John D. Rockefeller for tha spreading of the gospels of He who threw the money changers out of the temple for gambling. It is not strange that honest and conscientious minist ers throughout the land are objecting to accepting money filched from the poor by dishonest and disreputable money sharks. Like begets like. Birds of a feather flock together and from this we deduct that disreputable and dishonest ministers whose associates and bosom companions and advisers are the stock gamblers, have no com punctions of conscience from accept ing the stolen products of stock gam bling, and as a rule, a certain percent of the donations goes Into the pockets or the accessories in crime and the foreign missionaries are still crying for help. The board of directors of the bank of which Bigelow was the president have decided to make up the loss from their own private fortunes and protect the depositors of the bank, with the announcement that Bigelow will be prosecuted to the fullest ex tent of the law. A man that admit that he has robbed his trusted friends of $1,450,000 and is admitted to ball In the sum of $25,000 is probably not afraid of being unduly prosecuted foi his crime. He will simply move ovef to Canada and Join the army of bank defaulters now living in luxutry undet the protecting arms of the Canadian government There will never be a cessation from defaulting bank presidents, cashiers, an I trusted emptoyep until stock gambling is made a crime and it will only be stamped out by the coming of the mlllenium. As long as it has the support and indorsement of the money powers of the world; as long as it is Indorsed and approved by the wealthy churches of the land, who are sup ported by the Ill-gotten gains filched from the savings of the poor laboring classes, Just so long will stock gam bllng be recognized as a legitimate avocation and the list of ruined men augmented by daily accessions to their ranks. We of Atsoria, so far away from the marts of speculation and stock gambling, little realize the per nicious effects of the nefarious crime, committed under the protection ana sanction of law. The terrible excitement announce.! in the telegraph dispatches in the Chi cago wheat pit In which the Armours and John W. Gates are ostensably tht AFTER THE TRUSTS. The federal grand jury at Chicago Is proceeding vigorously against the beef trust In the criminal proceedings which have been Instituted. Four mem bers connected with the combine have been indicted and others probably will be. Three of them are regular em ployes of the packers and one Is an attorney. It is probable that the at torney was employed by the packers to steal the Indictments, and got caught at It The specific charge against them Is that they obstructed a deputy mar shal In his efforts to aerve a subpoena upon another attache of thS combine and send him to Canada. Sufficient work has already hf-ei done by the grand Jury to show that the government means business. Ap parently, however the trust thinks it is safe from criminal prosecution. It has recently advanced the prices of meat, and the threat Is that there will be still, a further rise. This will not frighten the people. There Is one way In which the trust could be attacked that would quickly bring them to terms. That is by refusing- to buv meat If the people would stop eating meant for a week the trust would be on Its knees. This sort vt remedy Is always open to them, but not enough of them to take advantage of it to count for much In the warfare against the trust ' If an agreement could be reached, whereby the entire people would agrea not to buy or eat any meat for on week, it would bring down the prlc of meats. But there is always a'chws In every community that would object to such a procedure, even thought It would break up the trust, and they are found In the ranks of those that are yelping the loudest about trusts. But the government is not at the en.j of Its resources yet. The criminal prosecutions are only In their pre liminary stage, scores ot indictment MAY COME HERE.

Many persons will be put on trial. It is expected that the evidence in some of the cui?s at lea wm oe strong enough to put tne ac cused behind the prison bars. The spectacle of a few of the trust mag nates wearing stripes and breaking atones for the state would be exhlli rating. It would jake the point out of the taunt that wealth Is above the law. The men at the head of the gov ernrnent are determined to prove th falsity of their claim. If the big packers are shown to be guilty violation or tne anti-trust law, as some of them probably will, their mil Hons will not save them from the pun ishment which that statute prescribes. OUT OF THE ORDINARY. Epitome of Anecdotes .and .Incidents With Comments By a Layman. it is surprising now many super- sitious people there are in Astoria. For Instance, a certain subscriber to The Astorlan is so superstitious on on point that he is a slave to his singular whim. He will not pass up the same side of the street on which The Asto rlan collector is coming down. He says he never has good luck If he sees creditor over his left shoulder or meets one face to face. He says he nevef meets a creditor but right away after. wards he hears of someone being dunned. Anotner prominent ousiness man seems to think there Is something fa tal about seeing a contribution box on Sunday, He therefore gets up and rushes out of church before the con trlbution box Is passed rather than bring disaster down upon himself and family. A gentleman comes Into the sanc tum sanctorium, who Is connected with the paper and has a superstition that if he were to spit In the cuspidore he wouldn't live to get home. Lorn Llnvllle says he don't care for new moons over the left shoulder or howling dogs at midnight, or anything of this kind; but when he sees a wo man with a big stone chasing a mooley cow, he Is always sure to hear of a new made grave. , Milliard Hardesty never chews his own tobacco. le thinks if he wera to do so he would come to want, and h would rather, if anyone suffers. central figures.
