The Cleveland Herald has the following
There has never been such a winter:
for gambling since I've been in the CITY,"
said the white aproned spirit dispenser, as
the crowd filed out There must be four
or five hundred young men in town whose
lives are spent inside the poker and faro
rooms. Three years ago do not believe
there was dozen poker-rooms in the city.
Now there must be hundred. and the pat
ronagc is enormous Men and boys be-
come perfectly fascinated with the game,
and never stop to compute their losses
or gains. The beauty about the manage
ment of poker.room is that the propri-
ctor never loses money. The rake-of in
one year will make him a comparatively
rich man, and know of one such propri-
etor who In 4 single year saved enough
money to buy himself pretty house and
lot on Woodland avenue. The biggest
business of the day is keeping gambling
ROOM"
And yet we are told If we permit our
sons and daughters to play cards when
young, they will soon tire of it, and the
danger is past.
A learned and eminent divine says. in
regard to the craze of cards that is now
sweeping over this country:
1t behooved all to beware Of temptation
and for professed christians, and all truly
good people, to allow no amusements, no
matter how harmless in themselves, to
come between them and their duty to
God and their fcllowman.
The love of draw poker. says the New
Orleans Picayune, passeth all understand
ing. If player is constant winner he
is a gambler and should quit. If he is a
steady loser he is fool and should quit.
If it is see-saw arrangement the players
eat and drink up the profits, and should
be in better business.
From the Winona Republican we learn
that Judge Start. in sentencing couple
of men for keeping roulette table in Wi
mona last week, had this to say of pro.
gressive euchre: Gambling, even in its
mildest form, from progressive euchre to
the roulette table, is \ pernicious and
foolifh practice"

This Is . very gratifying showing, and
one which proves that the Association is
on firm basis. and the fact that during
the year 1884 the members paid over $780,
OOO in assessments proves that they have
great faith in the management Of the As
ISOLATION. When the Association was Or
ganized it was estimated that at the end
of the thru year, their assets would ex-
coed their liabilities by about $54, 600. A
glance at the above statement shows that
the excess really is $6S, 978. 50 and if the
same progress is continued for the next
seven years, there is probably no Ques-
ton but that the cndowments will be
met.
The Association though comparatively
young one, is the largest of any in the
state, and has the largest amount of sur
plus of any similar institution in Iowa.
They meet all losses promptly and honor
ably, and Waterloo has reason to be proud
of the good record the Union Mutual Aid
has made. -Waterloo Courier, March 10.
