LOTTERY MEN COME TO GRIEF.

The Philadelphia Times about a year
ago denounced the Louisiana lottery laws
and company promoted under them, as a
system Of stupendous robberies, and the
company, it declared, had subsidized
many Of the professedly reputable news
papers of the land to aid it in its systematic
robbery of millions from the people"
Thereupon Dauphin, a lottery manager,
All alien, but resident of New Orleans,
sued the Times for libel, claiming 100000
damages. The case was recently before
United States Circuit Judges McKennan
and Butler, on defendants demurrer, and
il was sustained. The Court held that
Dauphin's business is unlawful under the
statutes Of the United States and of Penn
aylvania. The Judges declared anew
Lord Mansfield's doctrine: No Court
viii lend its aid to a man who POUNDS his
cause Of action upon an immoral or illegal
act" The Court scored the Louisiana
swindle from end to end, and declared that
even in Louisiana lotteries are unlawful
because there IS an unrepealed law of 1879
prohibiting all lotteries except the
Dauphin scheme. Lotteries" said the
Court, are pestilential nuisances by stat
natory declaration in Pennsylvania" No
denouncing of them by newspaper in
Pennsylvania could therefore be libelous
The judges cited the opinion of the Su-
preme Court Of the United States,
which through Mr.. Justice Grier
unanimously declared that d" the sup
preston Of nuisances injurious to
public health or morality is among the
most important duties Of Government. Ex-
perience has shown that the common
forms Of gambling are comparatively in
nocuous when placed in contrast with the
widespread pestilence of lotteries. The
former are confined to 4 few persons and
places, but the latter infestS the whole
community; it enters every dwelling; it
reaches every class; it preys upon the
hard earnings of the poor; it plumbers the
ignorant and simple" In conclusion, the
Circuit Court held that it would not pro-
tect Dauphin's business nor hold news
paper to answer for telling the truth about
it, Dauphin's business, said Judge Me
KEENAN,, is not only unlawful, but it is
worse It is an infamous crime. Isitpossible
that business stigmatized by the law Of
PENNSYLVANIA cannot be 50 characterized
here by the editor of a newspaper or any
other citizen, Notwithstanding the fact that
the business may be lawful in Louisiana
Is it possible that the citizens of Pennsyl-
yania may not express their approval of
the laws of Pennsylvania? It seems ex-
traordinary, after Congress has said that
man who conducts such business as the
one now in question ought to 90 to the
penitentiary, that citizen dare not ex-
press his opinion or approval of a law on
the books" 1t Is very evident that the
lottery thieves viii find no favor in the
Federal Courts. The day is not far dis
tant when they will be driven from the
cover of infamous State protection, and lie
compelled to fee to Spanish soil to prose-
cute their nefarious vocation.
