Washington dispatch Of the 21st says: "The
report reached the Democratic leaders that
Gov. Cornell, of New York, would not call an

European Gambling Houses

The Paris correspondent of New
York journal, in describing the gamb-
ling establishments of Europe and the
decorum observed therein, says:-No
girls under Is years of age are admitted
to the rooms at all; boys are strictly
prohibited from playing; conversation.
in loud voice is forbidden; the chair
around the gambling tables are to be
occupied only by players; gentlemen
are not permitted to keep their hats
on; smoking is not allowed. The
maximum stake at trente ct quarante
is twelve thousand francs, the min
imum 20. At roulette the maximum
is 5000 francs and the minimum 5.
No one is admitted to the gaming
rooms without a card of admission,
which is obtained by answering the
following questions: ''To what coun-
try do you belong?" "Where are you
staying?" "What is your profession?"
These answere are registered, and on
tbs back of the card Of admission the
intending gambler is required to sign
his name. The gambling. room are
lighted at night by large, shaded
lamps suspended over the tables. Gas
has been dispendsed with, as an at
tempt was once made to rob the bank
by turning off the gas and seizing
the money. The scene around the
tables is an interesting one to stud
ent of human nature; but there is lit
tie amusement to be got out of it on
account OF the sad, anxious faces. On
ly the croupiers retain an utterly
nninterested look. Their salaries are
large and sure.

Mr.. Blank relighted his cigar, lean
ed comfortably back in his chair and
remarked, "Never despise beggar.
You can't tell how rich he may be-"
The journalist went his way that
afternoon wondering much, envious of
the mendicant at the corner, and in
clined to turn beggar himself.

The SUPPRESSION OF THE "FREtHEIr.

That is curious statement about the
suppression of Socialist journal called the
Freihea, in London, by the Government. 1t is
the more curious because few days ago the
story was being told that the Russian En-
bassador in London had requested the sup
preston of this very paper, and that Lord
Granville had replied eve do not sup
"press newspapers in England. If any
Zone has cause OF complaint against them,
" the Courts aresopen, and the modes of
remedy specified. Yet it is now i'm
piled that all this was mere bonbas.; that
they do suppress newspapers in Eng
land )" and that the English Government
has actually consented, at the demand OF
foreign power, to prosecute a journal pub
hshed in London. We presume that the
explanation of this affair may put another
face upon it, but the brief statement thus
far received certainly puts it in an astonish-
ing light, as viewed in connection with the
unfaltering line of precedents in English
history for generations back. Louis Ma
poleon once complained of certain English
newspapers, and wanted Lord Palmerston
to suppress them. But Lord Palmerston
instantly and even indignantly refused,
and the country applauded him. There
would seem to have come very signal
change of policy since then.

a GOVERNMENT BARGAIN.

The United States Government recently
paid Sl0O,0OO for the ship Mary and
Helen, steam whaler, to be used in the
search for the Jeanette. This purchase
has now been taken to Mare Island to be
fitted up, and it IS for the first time dis.
covered that the vessel never could have
cost more than S25, goo to build, and that
it will cost at least S75, 900 to render her
fit for the mission imposed upon her. She
is said to be in no way adapted to Arctic
exploration, and that she will have almost
to be rebuilt to give her the necessary
Strength. This is fair example OF a Gov
eminent bargain. Seventy-fve thousand
dollars of the public money thrown away,
and not only this, but a second equal ex-
penditure incurred by the gross neglect
which characterized the purchase of the
vessel. 1t is not probable that an expedi-
ton which opens in this way will come to
any good. The Government will perhaps
spend 100000 on the Mary and Helen,
and by that time either she will be con.
demned, or the Jeanette will have been
found by some other party.

TIE bonanza SUIT.

The decision Of Judge sullivan in the
suit of Burke against Flood Il O'Brien
may be very important if it is sustained
on appeal otherwise, otherwise. Judge
Sullivan has opened the door for an ac-
counting which. notwithstanding his ruling
on the outlawry OF the bulk of the claims.
may be hereafter pushed much further.
OF the soundness of his reasoning the lay
intelligence is likely TO entertain little
doubt, though of course that is no guide
to the ultimate decision of the Supreme
Court. That Directors of corporations
should be accountable to the corporations
for all acts done in their official capacity.
aud with the corporate funds or property
of any kind, seems hardly debatable, yet
it would be rash to assume that it will be
confirmed as an established principle. OF
course the bonanza firm will not rest con-
tent with so damaging decision. but will
lake an appeal.

EUROPEAN COMPLICATIONS.

The European political horizon, never
clear for any length of time, appears to be
clouding over again. The attempts of the
Powers 70 prevent war between Turkey
and Greece have thus far failed, and the
presumption is that II nothing further can
be done IN this regard England will find
herself involved in the quarrel. Should
this be the case it is impossible to see the
end of he difficulty, for it is on the cards
that every European Power may be in turn
drawn into it. At the same time it is
alleged, though perhaps on no sufficient
authority, that the new Gar is desirous of
trying conclusions with Germany. II there
IS any truth in this, another indefinite con.
fict would be opened up by it. Should
Germany aecome Involved in war
with Russia it Is more than prob
able thar France would sec her
opportunity in the affair, even if
she did NOS ely herself from the
first with the Muscovite. What England
would DO 10 such an event it is difficult to
foresee. Her traditions, her race afiiuisies,
her bToadest interests, would seem to
direct her toward 3 German alliance She
certainly could not become the ally of
Russia, nor could she join France against
Germany. A neutral position would no
doubt best suit large and very influential
class OF Englishmen, but it would not be
possible il the Eastern question were re-
opened. Altogether it is evident that
there IS prospect of serious trouble in
Europe, and no such trouble can occur
without reacting injuriously upon this
country There was time when it was
believed Shat neutrals profted by foreign
wars, but larger experience has shown the
fallacy Of that idea.
