A LETTER AND ITS ANSWER

Very infrequently do We transfer cor
respondence into the editorial columns of
the REcoRD-UNIoN. But the following
letter from a prominent and thoughtful
citizen of Placer county is worthy to be
made one of the exceptions He says:
We of the country have looked upon the con
! troversy now going on in your city, in regard to
licensing gambling, with good deal of interest.
And it is needless to say : t all of the right
thinking people in our Unity fully coincide
with the views taken by the RECORD UNION upon
the question, but we desire to ask for informa-
ton.
There is a State law against gambling; such
being the case, any license TO gamble granted
by any and all authorities, i'll your or any other
city, in our State, is null ard void, is it not
What, then, is there to hinder the arrest of any,
or all of those who keep gambling-houses and
gambling tables and their trial and conyic-
ton, if found guilty, under the laws of our Statce
| fthe Board of supervisors OF Placer county
sell me a license to steal horse will it help me
| out on my trial? think not.
Let me tell you this If some of your people
| in Sacramento could hear the comments made
! by outsiders upon the course your city has taken
| in years past in .egard to licensing traps during
! State Fair time to catch country % hay seeds,
| you would not feel compimented thereby. To
| what Il strait must city have come to that
would accept blood money by compromising
| with law -bredkerS. and say we cannot stop the
q
make them divide with us.
The letter brings to the surface all there
is in the gambling-liccnse question
which i, now happily disposed OF, we trust
forever, so far as this city is concerned
To answer the question OF our correspond
ent will, however, clear up some misappre-
tensions. 1t is true that the municipal
license law, as against the State prohibi
tory law, should be of no effect, but since
a wiilful intent TO violate the law is the
essence of crime, it is next to impossible
to convict where the offender is backed by
a seeming of authority. True he is pre-
sumcd to know the law, and that the ordi-
nance is worthless; yet the latter is Il sIf
ticient shield, behind which he may re-
| treat when before susceptible jury, and
secure the benefit Of the doubt regarding
his intent to violate the law We are per-
fcctly aware of the criticisms of the non
resident public upon Sacramento concern
ing its acts permissiYe OF vicious practices
But all our people are not impressed with
their importance, and that furnishes an
additional reason for publishing the re-
marks of the representative citizen whose
letter We print. As a matter of fact, no
strait" has forced the license policy upon
the people. 1t is the result of morbid
strabiSInus regarding practical reform
this IS cunninsly played upon by the
| vicious element and awaited of by the
| demagogue, who cares nothing for prin-
| ciple and reasons no deeper than the sur
face.

LONDON, March 11th.-Financial circles

this afternoon confirming the report pub

effect that Russian troops had advanced

had taken place, but asserts that it was
only for the purpose of seeking more
suitable position i'll case ofwar with Afghan

the Afghanistans and Russians are hurry

Is there any reason, after all, for England
to fear Russia? When the latter attempts
military operations at Merry, she will have
her forces fully 800 miles from her base Of
action. This would be objectionable in
the eyes of ali military men. Then again,
the Afghans viii resist at the outormo,t
borders of their land They are on the
best of terms with the Anglo-Indian Gov
crnment, and viii hardly be brought to toll
crate anything hostile to the interests OF
their allies. The approaches from india
to Alshanistan are easy and rapid, and the
channel Of travel is the best part Of the
way by rail Russia never was a good
fighter st arms length, and never will be.
The vastness Of her territory renders it
difficult for her to operate with an army
at any considerable distance from the cen
tiers Of her own population.
