Some idea of the degree 70 which
gambling is carried on in this country
may be may be formed from the state
ment that the sales of Gil at New York,
Oil City and Bradford Pa, amounted to
4,249, 820, 900 barrels-more than a hum
dred times the entire supply of oil in
the world. During the last three months
the sales have been 1000, 900 barrels
at New York, and 1900 600 at Oil City.
and Bradford. Transactions nOminally
involving quantities ofanv other articles
several times in excess ofany possible
supply cannot have any other than a dis
turbing influence on business and
finance, especially when moneyed insti-
%tutions, as it is charged, loan their funds
for the encouragement Of such proceed
ings. The men who sell or buy what
they know they have not in their pos
session, and cannot obtain, as it has no
existence, do more harm to the general
community than avowed gamblers.

Sergeant Mason, unable to resist the
glittering offer of Snowman, has at last
displayed the stuff he is made OF and
placed himself on exhibition as n OF
the "curiosities" in a cheap-museum.
He was a much more edifying spectacle
when confined in the p~enitentiary. It
is to be hoped the sentimental persons
who subscribed to the fund for "Betty
and the Baby" feel satisfied now. The
money seems to have been mainly spent
by Betty in adjoining herself with gor.
geous raiment, while Mason turns his
notoriety into merchandise. 1t is a
c~heapjohn affair altogether, but very
touching to a class of people who are al
ways looking for something to excite
their sensibilities.

A Tenderfoot at Tombstone.

From the Middletown Transcript.
A few days agoa flash young man
from an eastern college arrived at Tomb
stone, Arizona, and registered his rame
at the principal hotel. A socially in
clined person in a blue shirt and wide
trimmed hat, who CHANGED to be in the
Office, good-naturedIy answered every
question and volunteered a vast amount
of interesting information about Arizona
in general and Tombstone in particular.
"Do you see them hills?" asked the
Tombstoner, pointing through 0ne1fthe
office windows. ''Well, them hills is
chock full of-pay dirt"
The young man from the east looked
shocked.
"My dear sir" he said. proudly, but
kindly, '"you should say those hills are
not, them hills Isl"
The TombstOner was silent for a mo-
ment. He looked the young man from
the east critically over as if he was estI-
mailing the size of coffin he would wear.
Then drawing out an ivory-stocked sew
en- shooter of elaborats style and finish,
he said in a soft, mild, musical tone, of
voice that sounded like a wildwood
brook coursingO'er its pebble bed: MY
gentle unsalted tenderiont from The land

to stand by that opinion while I've got a
shot left. I'll give you Jest three min
utes to think calmly over the subject. for
you probably spoke in haste the first
time, n then I'll hear your decision"
The young man from the east looked
down the acknowledgement barrel of the
revolver into the placid depths of the
eye of the Tombstoner and began to feel
that many points in grammar are I'M
certain and liable to grow more so
Then he thought of the coroner's in

Personal Mention.

II. ]. Ramsdell relates in the Phil

the late James W. Bosler. He saws:
Such universal mourning l never saw.
Onthe day of the funeral the picturesque
park in which his magnificent house is
situated was thronged with people, rich
and poor, high and low, men, women,
children. In the house were the rel
atlves of the deceased and the distin-
gdlshed persons who came to pay the
only tribute they could q to the man

their names. A choking sensation was
felt IN every throat when Mr.. Blaine

The action of the German and French
government in prohibiting the importa-
ton Of American sailed meats will, I'M
less those go verDments speedily change
their policy, result in some retaliatory

OF adopting some measure doubling the

judicial decisions on the subject. One
of the most important of these is that of
Judge Davis, of New York, who lately
held that the man who commits a crime
while intoxicated is equally guilty with
a sober man committing the same
otfense, as he is responsible for the act
OF getting drunk. This is both soun /
law and good co mmon sense. No man
has the legal or moral right to put hi n

The chairman of the House Commit
tee on Territories says he does not think
there will be any bills reported from the
committee this session for the admission
of any new states. All the traditions of
the democratic party, he says, are against
the admission of new states unless they
have sufficient population to entitle them
to admission. He thinks it will be some
time before New Mexico, Dakota or
Washington Territory will be admitted.

The breaks in tho Farnam street pave.
ment are a forcible reminder to the board
of public works that there must be more
systematic and thorough workdone in the
paving Of business streets to prevent
needless delays and expensive repairs.
The laying OF water and gas mains and
sewer connections should all have been
done with the greatest care under proper
supervision. No trenches should be cut
in the street without special permit after
reasonable notice has been served on the
gas and water companies and property
owners to make these connections. 1t is
an unmitigated nuisance, if not an out
rage, to allow Farnam street to be cut up
at this time when more than two months
have elapsed since the street was torn
up for and gas connections. A rad.
ical reform is also necessary in the
construction of street railroads. When the
property owners on any street direct the
council to contract for paving with any
particular material, the contracts should
cover the entire street. If the material
to be used between the railroad tracks is
to he different from the rest of the street,
as is the case whore asphaltum is used,
the contractor should be required to do
tho paving under the direction of the
board of public works. The idea that
the street railway company should be al
lowed to choose its own time, its own
material, and its " method of
paving. just because it is required
to pay for this paving,
is contrary to public policy and common
sense. What would be said if every
property owner should insist on taking
his own time, selecting his own material,
and doing the paving in front of his
his premises, regardless of public con
venience or uniformity AS long as the
railroad is allowed to do inferior
work, with poor material, by fits and

WADE HAMPTON is now credited by
several ignorant newspapers with having
lost a leg in the civil wal. 1t is true
that he lost a leg, but it was long after
the war of the rebellion had closed. He
was kicked by al unoivil mule, and the
loss of his leg followed. A somewhat
similar mistake was made with reference
to General Powell Clayton's missing

THE judges of the Chicago courts have
decided upon a change of court hours.
Beginning with the opening of the fall
terms, the courts will open at IL a. m,
and one hour ia to be devoted to the
hearing of motions. At 1 p. m. trials
will be taken up and a continuous session
until 5 o'clock devoted exclusively to
trials by jury, In this way jurors and
witnesses will have the entire forenoon
for private business, and will find court
work much less onerous than under the
old system. Lawyers, too, will have the
morning for consultation and preparation
of cases. The time actually spent in
court by the judges will be the same as
heretofore, only the greater portion of it
will be in the afternoon session. 1t
strikes us hat this plan is an improve
ment upon the old system, aud that it
possesses advantages that are worthy Of
consideration by the judges and members
of the bar in Omaha.
