His Honor, Justice MAoARruuR, ia the
Criminal Court recentIy, dealta dsath.blow to
the keepers Of policy shops, and get the
stamp Of condemnation upon this nefariom
business, for which he will receive the thanks
OF this community. He took bold and fear
less position, and proclaimed his intention TO
rid the city OF this dIsersceful business, that
has been permitted to continue year amer
year dsfying both the law and the authorities.
His Honor does not believe that any intel
ligent man would pretend 70 claim that deal
ing In policy was other than the selling Of lot
tery tickets, and the plea that had been thus
set up was poor and weak device to evsde
the statute, which he would not countcnance.
He was satisfied that the business was terribly
demoralislng to society. especially the poorer
classes, and believed that It not only cncour-
aged idleness and lariness, but ofttimes In
duced the committing OF crime. To per-
init its continuance 10 to allow an immoral
contagion TO spread among the most helpless
people In the city, and u ought TO be broken
up. The case before him, that OF Jouy G..
CHAPMAN, being . test one only, he let the
convicted man off with the minimum SEN
tence, but gave warning that those who fol-
lowed the business henceforth need expect no
mercy, but that they would be prosecuted and
punished to the utmost limit Of the law.
WESTERN paper has been prophesying
about President HAYES Cabinet since the Flor
ida decision, In novel way. It says that the
coming men are probably WV. n. EvARrs,
Secretary Of State; GALUsuA A. GRow, secre.
tary Of the Treasury; Governor MoCoRNroK,
Postmaster General; Senator SARGENT, Sec.
rotary Of the Interior; Governor NorEs, Secrs-
tsry of War; Senator EpNUSDs, Attorney
General: and W. B. FRYE, Secretary Of the
Navy. The exchange then follows this list
with the following "possibles" GEO. WILL
LIAM CURTIS, Secretary Of State; JOHN suBR-
MAN, Secretary Of the Treasury; r. Z. FEN-
TON, Secretary of the Interior; RoscoE
CoSKLINe, Attorney General; General Con-
Lr, Secretary Of War; and W. +. CHANDLER,
Secretary Of the Navy. The exchange also
says that Senator MonToN could have cab.
met office, but he would rather be Senator
than the Secretary Of any man.

"Honest Confession. /"

Many Republican politicians confessed
after the panic of 1873 that the prosperity
which had been maintained during the
war and during the reconstruction period
was false and fictitious-the gay and ex-
travagant career Of a spendthrift who is
living beyond his income and falling rap
idly into debt. And now the consideration
of the state of things revealed by the
recent labor instructions has convinced
the most decided partisan sceptic that the
paper-money fnanciering Of Republican
statesmen was not the peculiar political
glory which they once fondly supposed it
to be, and there is going up from many
truly loyal mouths wall over the delusive,
deceptive and dangerous nature of the
greenback, which lis denounced as the
cause of all our woes. Alta time when the
national debt was held ito be a national
blessing and the illegal tender was pro
nounced the elixir Of national life we were
outspoken in regard to the evil tendencies
Of irredeemable paper money, and have
not changed our opinions since; but VIZ
protest in the name of fair play agains
this attempt to make the Rreenbaek re
sponsible for all the misfortuues of tn,
nation. 1t is only one EVIL element amonl
many in the rule of the last sixteen years
That twin measure of Republican economi
policy, the protective tariff, has been al
most as active an agent in the production
Of commercial and industrial disorder, an,
our contemporaries should say so ant
make a clean breast of confession Will
they are about it. They have been fright
ened into an honest effort to show the pee
pie whom they deluded fifteen years ag
that paper-money prosperity is a vail
mirage; now let them demonstrate to tn,
mechanics to whom they promised abou
the same time high wages as the compile
ment Of high duties that protection doe
not protect They owe it to society tina
they should do something to aid in rootiD

which they have been so diligently sowin
