New Orleans Lotteries.

The spirit of gambling and lottery finds
its natural atmosphere in this land of dreams
and one of the first local eccentricites to de-
mand the attention of the visitor to New
Orleans is the display OF lottery tickets in the
windows of brokers, cigar dealers, saloons
and cobbler shops in every quarter OF the
city, high and low. And neasly everybody
contributes to the scheme, not excepting by
any means the eoored population. The
drawings are monthly, and one half the re-
ceipts go to the management, wnich holds a
monopoly organization under State charter,
obtained years ago. The winning tickets
left over drop back into the treasury, and,
taken altogether, the Louisiana lottery is a
good thing-for the management. Beaure-
gard and Jubal Early are the head officials,
the former short. thick-set Frenchman OF
grizzly appearance, and The latter an aged
and venerable appearing man, the very i'm
age of the typical Santa Claus" Both
lived here and thrive on salaries of $4,000 a
year each from the Lottery Association.

sienificant APPOINTMENTS,

The appointments made on Wednesday by
President Cleveland have several significant
features. In the first place they seem to
show that petitions and influence are des-
tined to accomplish little with the Presi-
dent Mr.. Hay of Pennsylvania, who gets
the position of assistant postmaster general,
seems to have had no organized support.
Political influence was concentrated in favor
Of ex-Congressman Money of Mississippi,
who felt sure of obtaining the place.
But the President ignored this influence en-
tirely. and selected Hay. The appointments
Of Durham of Kentucky to be first comptro-
Ter of the treasury and of HI. V. Montgom-
cry to be commissioner of patents were also
made in defiance of political influence.
Montgomery had not even asked for place.
Another significant feature is the fact that
both Hay aud Durham are very strong
friends of Randall, Durham being a strong
protectionist and bitter opponent of the
Kentucky free trade combination. Il may
be that Durham's tariff sentiments were not
q factor in his selection, but the freetraders
are evidently anxious. Joe Blackburn de-
clares that the administration is a Randall
administration, and that be proposes to have

The action of the New York county Re-
publican committee in excluding from the
primaries such prominent Republicans as
Alonzo B. Cornell, William M. Dowd and
John L Davenport, because they refused to
say whether they voted for Mr.. Blaine or
not, At this distance seems highly impoli,ic.
Two Of these men are known to have sup
ported Mr. Blaine cordially, but they object
to being catechised by committee made up
of ward politicians, some of them of very
cheap variety, before being allowed to take
part in the caucuses of party of which

Lightly as it may be treated, this is really
a very serious matter. The young man is

piece of moralizng; 1t is a matter of COM

successfully, the general average OF conduct
and ability must be high. If we were able
to pick out our man now and set him apart
and train him, we could get on as well as
they do in England, and it would not be
much matter what became of the other

CONCERNING POLITICIANS.

AS not Infrequently happens, the men who
now regard politciaas as SO obnoxious, and
their methods as worthy of such aversion
are those who profess to find a special graft
fcation in the election of President Cleye-
land. And yet he is, in bis pre- ent position
the most conspicuous example of the power
of the politicians. His nomination for pfesi
dent was accomplished after an exceedingly
heated contest, and only after the skill anc
processes of his political managers haa beer
taxed to their utmost capacity. 1t was
monument of adroitness and persisteucy
and an illustration OF political ability.

Commissioner Ham, who was in this
city yesterday, says the merits of the New
Orleans exhibition are not appreciated at
the North as they should be. 1t is really a
magnificent exhibition, and will repay visit
by anyone who can afford the time and
money necessary. When Commissioner Ham
left about two hundred citizens of Maine had
registered among the visitors. Mr.. Ham
thinks the North is doing better by the ex-
hibition than the South, principally because
the people Of the latter are generally poor.
There was much delay in getting the exhibit
tion in running order, and bad weather has
interfered with its success. The weather in

specified period. Reports from other sources
however, give less favorable view. 1t is
said several of the construction companies
have stopped work, owing to not having re-
