DISTINCTIONS.

A vicious game that appears not to fall
under the ban of the law is played openly
throughout the State, and is doing incalcu-
liable damage. 1t is percentage game and
| if given number of young men, each with
given sum in hand, sit down to it, the
dealer is as certain to rake in " the aggre-
gate of all the sums, if the youths but stick
to the game, as that the sun viii rise Some
time ago, when we alleged that the lawful
games, at least those winked at and per-
mitted, and largely openly played are more
damaging and vicious than faro or the I'M
lawful banking games, some friends depre-
Gated the expression and challenged its
correctness. These good people simply
lacked knowledge of the world. They
simply avoided the fact that there is such a
thing as degree in evil. We reaffilm that
the poker games, the dice games, the ordi
nary card games, in saloons, cigar stands,
in country bar-rooms and elsewhere, and
the charity ball and church fair gambling
games, are fourlold more damaging to the
young than the regular outlawed banking
games. Any man Of the world knows this
to be true Here then, is society permit
ting a greater and condemning a
lesser evil. There is no escape from
this. What we need to do is
put them all upon one or the other of two
levels, open federation, or understanding
condemnation. OF course the latter is the
only thinkab!e course. If there is no law
to reach the vicious stud-horse poker 3"
games, in the name of decency, if not in
the name of the youth of the country, let
our city legislature pass an ordinance to
meet the case fully. We should not pour
on oil behind the CRATE and water in front.
Let it be all water or all oil. We must not
smile upon the fair lottery and stud-horse
poker, and frown upon faro and roulette
Let it be frowns and blows for ALL We
respect the honorable gambler and despise
the low tricbster who bleeds boys and
ydng at lawful (2) percentage games
For the first holds himself superior and he
has every reason to do so; he makes no
pretense that he is other than he is, and for
that reason, if none other, is entitled to be
rated, and his business to be esteemed be-
fore that of the keeper Of houses where a
semblaucc Of respectability is maintained,

THE Current says: The father reads the
newspaper on his way down town in the
street cars; the mother sews on dark goods
until late at night; the child wears specta-
Giles in the grammar school," Very true.
The Current might have extended its in
dictment by these counts; We sit facing
the light when at work we cultivate near
sightedness in the schools by inadequate
lighting, bad desks poor print and per
hitting bad habits of position. We injurc
the eyes by the undue use of the opera
glass; we read in bed by an insufficient
light and in an improper position; we
struggle over the morning paper in the dim

duet ourselves so as to pass defective eye
sight down to our children, but we permit
them TO injure even that they have.

A DEMOCRATIC jolliication mass meeting
on Monday in the far South has passed
resolutions deprccating the solidity of the
solid South, " or Of any other section. and
praying for the day when all citizens, black
aud white, foreign and native-born, at
home and abroad, shall be equal before the
law, and be protected equally by the flag.
Finally the meeting resolved that it prays
for Union of the States-a Union =" as it
was eighty years ago That meeting began
well, but it ended badly. What is the mat
ter with the Union as it is? Why wish the
Union as it was, when slavery was one of
its Institutions? SO, too, are not all citizens
equal before the law now? If in fact that
equality is denied them, where is it and
whose fault is it? II the flag does not pro-
tect all alike now, where is the fated spot
and whose fault is it? Taffy tafIy The
Democrat of the South is a better hand al
buu-dozing than tafly-pulling.

IT seems strange to the people of Cali
fornia, in which State the ballots cast at
elections are sealed up and preserved, that
in New York the ballots should be de
stroyed as soon as the Board of Election
Commissioners counts them and certifes to
their number. Probably there is but little
more danger Of fraud under The New York
practice than ours. In New York the re-
turns only need to be altered to accomplish
fraud here the ballots also must be doc
torcd. Whoever would attempt the alter
alton of returns would likewise tampcr
with the ballots. The New York law con-
stitutes the election officers the judges of
the legality Of the ballots, and requires
them to make record of those they reject
with a statement of their reasons. The
correctness Of their decision is subject to
review by the Courts. 1t would appear to
us that the system is not so safe as cur
own, which requires preservation of the
ballots, ard does not constitute the record
of the Election Inspectors the sole record.

bezzlement of public funds TO the amount
of over $4,000. His bondsmen were liable
for the amount of the defalcation, and the
evidence of his guilt was overwhelming
To-day remarkable phase of Colonel

Two reputable physicians certified as to
his insanity, rs also Bishop-elect Paret, OF

son married Burnside's daughter. 1t is
claimed that Burnside has acted very
queerly. and that his conversation is SO
confused, and his manner so strange that
his family, and friends intimate with him,
have been led to believe that his mind is
unsettled. The District Attorney suggested
to the parties presenting the papers that in
cases charged with crime the law provides
that the Court shall certify to the insanity
of the prisoner to the Secretary of the
Interior. whose duty it will be to order his
commitment to the Asylum. The District
