The Backbone Land Grant
Case.
Special to The Times-Democrat.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14th.-The de-
cision of Secretary Lamar in the Back
bone land grant case, which leaves it
for Congress to cure the defect in the
title, is in exact accord with the posi-
ton taken by Senator Eustis in his ar
gument before the Secretary in behalf
OF the settlers. There will be the OPP
portunity now for the representatives
from Louisiana in both branches of
Congress to see that in whatever action
is taken by that body the rights of the
settlers are justly and scrupulously
guarded.

Fort Worth daily gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1885-05-07

SAYS the San Antonio Light 1.-THE
place where the panther laid down,
to use the expression Of an envloHs
newspaper who thereby alluded to
Fort Worth. is very much broke up
over the attempt by the county attor-
ney TO enforce the gambling aud ga
loon laws. But 1t Is the natural result
Of the demand OF popular opinion, and
communities and individuals will
realize that, because few men who
are engaged In an unholy calling are
made to become law-abidlng citizens,
the town is not going to die and
everybody go in mourning over the
alleged wrongs of the sports. The 100
indictments made in Fort Worth are
good Investment, and will prove so
In the end".
Fort Worth daily gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1885-05-07
AS to Gambling.

The argument that gambling helps
the business ola community is a soph.
ism. Since no man can hold the
gambler to be producer, the only
basis for the argument is that by
means of gambling money is cir
oulated; and for the argument to be
worth anything to the community IL
must be shown that the money won
by gamblers is lost by strangers. With
this proven, Is there potency In the
argument Who can demonstrate
that the money lost at gaming tables
by strangers would not have been
spent by strangers in ether ways, and
that the money thus lost does
not often actually prevent its distribu-
ton among tradesmen by the stran-
gers, who are deprived Of what thew
may want or really need by the graft.
hoatlon OF their propensity for gam.
blingf And who can show that Fort
Worth has not lost the acquisition OF
vslusble citizenship by the license
with which gambling has heretofore
been carried on in our midst?
IL Ia paraded that certain game,
keepers have lost thousands of dollars
the object evidently being to create
the impression that this money has
gone into circulation In the town; but
ON the other hand, we are told
that gambling In Fort Worth at.
tracts men from distance
to lay over here for "a game,p which
Is denied them elsewhere. Then, why
may not the strangers have won what
the game-keepers have lost And II
may be these strangers within our
gates have won from the game. keepers
what the gsme-keepers had previously
won from the citizens of the town.
Who shall sayg
It's fact susceptible OF ocular dem.
onstration that wagemen and those
who are financially unable 70 lose the
money constitute nom rs TO 90 ney
cent. OF the patrons Of the gaming
tables. There are many employers in
Fort Worth who can bear testimony
10 the fact that some, II not all, OF
their employees habitually souandeY
their earnings at gaming tables.
ana there are men In this
ci'y to-day who are poor, IL not actual.

cratic majority Of abeut fifty. During
the life of the last congress Mr.. Ran
dali, elected as Democrat, and pre-
sumably man on whom Democrats
could rely, deliberately elected to be a
Republican on the most important
matter that came before that body.
He bolted the caucus OF
his party, organized about him
self small coterie of obstruc.
tionists, and from the beginning to
the end OF both sessions he main
tanned an attitude of hostility to his
own party. Since the adjournment OF
that congress he has manifested no
disposition to change his peculiar po-
sition, and he stands to-day, as he did
a year ago, as an enemy of the Demo
cratic majority.
The movement to degrade Mr.
Randall" Is simply movement to rid
the party of a renegade and traitor. A
tariff reformer will be elected speaker
Of the new house, and he will have
the good sense, proflting by the ex-
perience Of the past, to give Mr., Ran
dali back seat on the committees
This is just and proper, and II the
Pennsylvania Is not satisfied with IL
he has no one TO blame but himself
Let him join the Democratic party.

Enfnrna thA Law.

Men who favor the enforcement of
law can do no less than uphold Mr..
Bowlin in his purpose to execute the
plain letter and intent of the law for
the suppression OF gambling. Men
may differ as to the effect Of gambling
on the trade OF community; men
may differ as to the proper legal treat
ment Of what Is regarded by some as
an Irrepressible evil; but there can be
no difference OF opinion as to the duty
OF law officers; there can be no differ
ence Of opinion as to the baneful ef-
fects OF gaming on the morals Of the
community; there can be no differ
ence of opinion as to the ruinous con.
sequences Of gambling on individuals
and their families; there can be no diff
ference Of opinion as to Mr.. Bowlln's
duty, and all men are bound to say:
Let the law be enforced.
AS an abstract question gambling
Is simply indefensible. All that
can be said even in favor of tole-
rating 1t is, that the propen-
slty to gamble is ingrained and
therefore wisdom dictates regulation
OF the practice through license, but
advocates Of the license do not contend
that gambling is, intrinsically, sught
else than wrong. But this phase OF
the question is not at issue; Fort
Worth to-day is not appealing to law
making power, but ia confronted with
the question Shall the law enacted
for the suppression OF gambling be en-.
forced? The question Ia not whether
the law ia the wlsest but whether the
law to suppress gambling, which all
men must admit is an evil in itself
shall be executed.
Since no man can uphold gambling
as promotive of good, since no man
can defend the morality of gambling
since 1t Is not a question of what tn,
law should be, and since all men mus
