perfect the purchase, or the correspond
ing one inside to conform to it
as a bona-fde business transaction, that
the entire business of the board has
incurred the suspicion and condemnation of
the best people in the country. Nor is it APP
parent that it is a measure of wisdom to at
tempt to shut up bucket-shops. These cheap
places are but the stepping stones to larger
IDEALS and gambling transactions in which
more money is involved. The taste for mar
gin-dealing is developed it bucket-shOps, and
while those who are unlucky fall out of the
way, those who come out gamers in petty
transactions almost, or quite invariably,
turn to the facilities offered by boards
of trade, and generally leave all their
winnings there. The bucket-shop is but the
training school in which the victims are IRE
pared for a course in and graduation from the
board of trade. But for the former many q
man would never practically know anything
about the operations on Change, would be
spared the disgrace of gambling and the shame
of wasted fortunes. 1t is well enough to close
the bucket-shops, but for the Chicago Board
of Trade to proclaim its action as a virtue is
simply to rate the reading public as fools.

A Day of PRAYER for Politicians.

New YORK, May 6-The National Woman's
Christian temperance Union will soon send out
a call to prayer in the presidential campaign,
addressed ITO the Christian people of America, "
fixing Tuesday, May p, as the time. Each hour
has a special subject assigned, including prayer
for pastors and editors-that they may lead the
people away from dead issues, and toward that
of a national constitutional amendment prohib-
iting the traffic in intoxicating liquors as a drink;
for party leaders-that their platforms may rec
ognize this issue, and their candidates be men
whose habits shall be an example to
young men; also, and emphatically, prayer
for the Christian voters-''that their spir-
tual perceptions may be quickened,
their consciences aroused, and their home
households) represented by them at the ballot
box 1t will be requested that the day be OBJ
served throughout the nation, and pastors will
be requested to preach, on the Sabbath follow
ing, upon "God in government"

RUGG, the condemned murderer of the Maybee
women, is having a hard time of it. On Sunday
a colored pastor called on him and prayed with
over an hour" Then three young ladies
called and sang "Come to Jesus" which must
have been exquisite torture. The monster must
have wondered what anybody, human OF divine,
could want with him, and the suggestion of such
a CHASTITY impossibility must have been keenly
cruel. Rugg has all the elements in his make
up to take him straight to heaven from the gal
lows, and will probably say SO. Still, there are
those who think they are going to heaven who
will bid him a final farewell when he hangs.

Mrs. CARRIE B. KILGoRE, who has made re-
law in the Philadelphia courts, has at last met
with success. Each of three Common Pleas
Courts rejected her application, but the fourth.
presided over by a more tolerant and liberal
judge, has given a different decision. Admission
into one has usually been considered as giving
the right to an attorney to practice in the other
three courts, but it is expected that in this case
the unfriendly judges will find it advisable to es-
tablish a different precedent. The opposition to
the lady is not with regard to her qualifications,
which are conceded to be good; but the learned
and honorable judges who refused to admit her
to their respective bars are of the opinion that
the place of women is at the domestic Preside,
and that her presence in court, other than as a
prisoner or badgered witness. is calculated to
lower the sex from the pedestal on which
it is supposed to be placed by admir-
ing man. 1t is possible that the judges
did not give their real reasons for Directing, and
that if Mrs. Carrie had appeared before them
as Mrs. Caroline" her struggle for recognition
might have been successful much earlier. No
ordinary judge could desire the presence before
him of Mr.. Attorney Tommy" or Jimmy" or
Johnny" Why, then, expect him to look ia
vorably upon attorneys Carrie, y or Lizzie" or
Dolly" Justice should prevail, of course,
without regard to such trifes; but the best of
judges are human, and it is not unreasonable to
suspect them of thinking that a woman with a
pet" name should retain it in privacy.

Mr.. JOHN c. NEW has excited the just indig-
nation of the country weeklies of Indiana by re
fuslng to issue to them passes to the national
Republican convention. This is such an arbitrary
proceeding that we hope the national committee

country if it proposes to allow Mr.. New to dis
pose of this mighty molder of public opinion as
If it were a mere idle plaything. We understand
that the national committee decided to admit
one representative of each Republican weekly to
the convention, and we question Mr.. News
authority to go behind the mandates of the com
mlttee. The matter has been informally laid
before Senator d. NJ. Sabin, chairman of the
committee, and we suspect it would be well for
all editors of weekly Republican papers who
have been snubbed by Mr.. New to write to Sena
tor Sabin, stating their grievances in detail: We
deeply regret that Mr.. New should have shown
in this matter none of that suavity, generosity
and liberality for which he has hitherto been
famed. Chicago News.
The above is intended to be very funny, but it
is a lie all the same, and a lie is never funny.
The national committee made no order about
tickets to weekly newspapers, and Mr.. New has
assumed no authority as to their exclusion from
press seats 1t is the intention of the national
committee as well as of the subcommittee to
afford the press the most ample facilities con
sistent with the accommodation of the delegates
and the business of the convention; yet, no men
know better than the managers of the weekly
newspapers that it is impossible to provide for
all weekly newspapers of the United States and
hold the convention inside the city limits of
Chicago.
If the Chicago News, however, wants to ac-
commodate the weekly press, it can do so to the
extent of vacating the seats it has applied for as
a daily paper.

THE church at Mount Sterling. KY, to which

longed, deems the latters attack upon the
Judge as inexcusable, and demands of Corneilson
that, in order to hold fellowship with his church

he must apologize to Judge Reid in person, and
publicly condemn his own course as wicked,
even if his suspicious are well grounded; bring
the same kind of apology before the church; ask

A Negro Taken from Bed and Killed.

FULTON, Mo, May 6.-Adviees from Hatton
postofice, a small village in the northwestern
part of this county, say that Ham Patterson, a
negro, was taken from his bed on Saturday
night last and killed by a mob. Itappears Patter-
son and his brother julius circulated scandalous
reports about nearly all the ladies in that neigh
borhood, which greatly exasperated the men,
and some twenty or more reputable citizens took
the matter in their own hands, with the above
result. julius Patterson is also being sought
for, and if found it is said he will share the fate
of his brother Ham. The negroes in the vicinity
are greatly excited, and are said TO be making
threats of vengeance against the whites.
