ANEW Klecslea Law.
Ed. News A bill modelled after the
California revised Code, for the regu-
lation Of and to prevent frauds at cleo
lions, has passed both Houses, and
only awaits the approval Of the Gov
error to become a law. 1t Il very
stringent In its~proyisions, and.pro-
vides for severe penalties for any In
fraction Of them. 1t forbids and pun
ishes the betting on elections, and Is.
in all Important respects, q copy or
the California law. That such = law
Is needed In this State no one will at
tempt to deny, aud now It remains to
be seen whether or not 1t will be strin-
gently enforced. . ahmoET

1t seems probable that the long
vexed question rs to whether gamb-
ling shall be Hecn.ed or prohibited BY
the statute, Is at last settled. Mr.. Va
rian's p~rohibitory bill came up today,
and sftsra spirited debate was refused
ensrossment. Mr. Small--by request
Of friends OF tho biIl-gaye notice ola
motion to reconsider. Mr. Varlan's
other bill, to provide, fol, the licensing
of all banking games was, on motion
of Mr.. Lockwood, taken from the Hte
and passed. It provides that all per-
Fcentage or banking games shall pay,a
license OF $500 per quarter payable
quarterly In advance. It met with q
very feeble opposition; many OF the
friends ofthe prohibitory bill fayoring
| It's passage OH the score ofexpediencY.
Mr.. Stevenson In particular who was
a strong friend of the prohibitory bill,
| fayoring the license law OIL that
ground. He spoke at some length and
viewed the matter In q practical IN
business-llke light as did Mr.. Clapp,
| who waxed quite eloquent In Its advo-
cacy. 1t Is the general impression that
1t will pass the Assembly. and should.
it become alaw, will do more towards
s~uppressing gambling than the most
stringent prohibitory law that could
bo enacted. 1t requires capital to pay
a cash down license Of $500 aud start
