THE LOUISVILLE LOTTERY.
How the hwindled Holders of APPROX
mate Numbers are to Obtain Redress.

LOUISVILLE, KY, March I'm the
case Of William Bauer ct al against the
Public Library OF Louisville, which has
been on trial in Judge Ballard's court
for several days, the Judge overr1lled
the demurrer Of the defendants to-day
The suit, it will be remembered, was
brought to determine the rights Of the
holders Of the approximation tickets,
and it has been prosecuted by Gen
Blanton Duncan with his customary
zeal and tact. The lottery managers
demurred, as has been said, to the
amended petition, but the court over
ruled the demurrer, virtually thereby
declaring that the lottery itself was
Illegal, and thus establishing the claim
OF the holders Of tickets TO recover
their money. 1t is thought that this
will open the door to a vast number Of
suits against the managers Of the lot
terry, and it is more than limited that the
proprietors Of the Courier journal, who
have just gone into their sumptuous new
building, will be shown to be interested
parties in making the Defense FIR

Under this caption Porte Welch,
the Democratic editor of the Oska-
loose Reform Leader, thus boldly
speaks his honest views, in warning
to his party:
A new party in spirit and in truth
Is more in demand to-day than ever
before. The Republican party again
has the inside track and the tradi-
tionai Democratic party is not only
demoralized but demoralizing. Be-
ing under the leadership ofa hopeless
horde of fossils, we cannot expect
that any progressive measures will
be adopted unless Reform Democrats
work. Men who are reformers for
the sake Of Reform, will dare to
maintain their advocacy of a new
party in spirit and in truth. IL the
Democratic party acts wisely and
pursues course that Is progressive
and just, then the new party will
sweep over the continent again. and
traditional Democracy will be forev-
or buried. Thousands Of Republicans
who are ready to cooperate with
Democracy, II 1t Is to be made new
party In spirit and in truth, will not
touch IL this year If the leaders per-
sist In their policy to stake al on
combing hazel brush for votes, rath-
er than appealing to the progressive
element of the nation.

broke outin the oil room Of j. c.

fearful rapidity, enveloping the
whole block In ruins, except the ho-
tel building, In which Is located the
store-room of j. r. Nichols d Co. I'd.
w. Loring of this city being the
Col. The buildings were all large,
we'll built, two-story frames, and
formed the best business part Of the
town. The fro spread both ways
from the drug store, and scarcely less
than q miracle saved the hotel build
ing.
The houses burned were occupied
by Geo. Carson, drugs, j. G.. Picket,
drugs, Mr.. Wallace, restaurant,
Chedister 4 Bates, harness, aud War
rem x Collins, furniture. Except the
drug store the stocks were mostly re-
moved, but in damaged aud demo-
rallied condition. The stock Of j..
r. Nichols q Co. was all removed
and afterward replaced, damaged to
the amount of $500.
This is a severe blow to our sister

The Salary Veto.

When the bill reducing the salary
of the President was passed by Con-
gress, we said that the President
would probably veto it, and he has
done SO, upon the most legitimate
grounds. The increase of salary, it
will be remembered, was a part Of
the "grab BILL" which was part of
an appropriation bill. The grab was
so called not because it raised the
Presidents salary, but because it
gave back pay to members of Con-
gress as well as raised their salary
The President now remarks. with
great force, that the salary of So, 900
was fixed when the population WAS
about 3.000,0 900, and when members
of Congress received but sc a day for
actual service. The population is
now nearly 0,000, coo, and allowing
five months session each year, they
receive fully $30a day. Congress has
voted to restore the Presidents sals-
ry to the original sum, but not that
of it's own members. The act is an
illustration of Democratic "reform
in the House and of Republican pu-
sillanimity in the Senate. The ma
jority In the Senate which voted for
the general increase also voted for the
particular decrease, and threw upon
the President the odium, which it
did not dare to accept itself, Of SEEM
ing to withstand an economical re-
form. The President is too little Of
a demagogue to follow an unworthy
example, and his veto 10 manly and
sensible, and will be approved by the
country.
He truly says that the cost of liv-
ing Ia entirely out of proportion to
what it was when the salary was FIX
ed at S25, 900, and that he knows Ivy
personal experience that the old sal
airy Is inadequate to the proper and
necessary expense Of the White
House establishment. He has, Of
course, no personal interest In the re-
duction, for his official emolument
cannot be increased or diminished
during his term. Moreover, unless
the salary was grossly extravagant
eighty years ago. which has never
been pretended, II Is insufficient now.
1t il possible. indeed, thata Presi-
dent might keep house mt the White
House for SIS, 900 or SIC, 600 year
And there are doubtless gentlemen
who would gladly take the Presiden-
cy without any salary Mt nil. But
those are not very cogent rnasons far
paying the President meanly. Gen
eral Grant has showna proper regard
for the national dignity and for the
honorable comfort NJ his successors
In vetoing bill whose passage WAS
piece OF clap-trsp and demagogery,
and an insult to the popular intelli-
gence. Hdrpo.'s IRsskty.
