Roulette in Fifth Avenue.

N. Y. Letter
The new folly for the Fifth avenue par
lor is French rather than English, for it
consists of roulette table-a reduced
copy of the kind used in gambling hells.
We read of Partisan salons where games
of chance are politely played for money
and by people not lost to delicate sense
of propriety. Exactly the same cannot
be said of the innovation here and I
hardly expect that the roll of the roulette
marble will become a usual noise in
fashionable gatherings. Nevertheless
there are two of these wheels of misfor-
tune revolving nearly every evening in
two of the otherwise respectable and
very costly boarding houses in Fifth
avenue and others are heard of. The
game is played precisely as in profession
al hands, except that banker is chosen
for each occasion and there is presumed
to be a freedom from cheating on his
part, but it is called revolution" which
word may be taken as descriptive of the
numbered wheel employed in it and not
indicative Of any revolutionary change
in our women's sentiment about gamb-
ling. Poker and progressive" euchre
have accustomed them to stake in card
| playing, but when it comes to introduc-
ing the apparatus of roulette, with its
placing Of chips on layout, the diver.
sion is a little too gross for most of them
/ to stand,

1t it time that the members Of the
United States senate, says the Phila-
delphia Times, came to consider the
question of their right to spend
money in summer junkets without
any regard to the public service, and
the quicker they conclude that it is
not all justifable the better it will
be for them. For some years the
custom Of sending senator's out on
exploring expeditions to the highest
priced summer hotels has been grow
ing, and yet for all the money thus
far expended not a single report has
been made which has attracted any
attention in the public mind or has
the slightest value even to special
lists. If the senate does not cut off
this waste of money it ought to find
itself brought mp with a round turn
one of these days, with the contin,
gent fund cut off altogether.

CLEVELAND AND REFORM,

When Grover Cleveland was nom
mated to the presidency as a reform
democrat, says the New Orleans
Times-Demoerat, the republicans
laughed incredulously, and even
some democrats smiled little in the
retirement of their sleeves. The in
itial force at the back of the New
York governors candidacy was a
solid one, composed of substantial
citizens and business men. who real
lied the demand of the American
people for honest government, and
who likewise knew that a democratic
candidate who could be depended
upon to carry out reform principles
would be supported by the decent
element of the republican party in
the eastern states. Mr.. Cleveland
was one of the very few men before
the people who could be safely pla-
ced in position of such tremendous
delicacy. He had shown his metal
as governor of the great state OF
New York, and possessing the con.
fidenee of the reform clements OF
both parties, they joined hands tc
elect him. They succeeded in this,
and at the same time read a moss

severe lesson to future polltical OPP
orators who may imagine, as strong
and e.brilliant" combination thought
while ago, that the masses will
knowingly support candidate for
the chief magistracy of the nation
who is not regarded as clean and
honest.
Although the reform administra-
ton of Mr.. Cleveland is but few
weeks old, his course has already
satisfied the nation that the conf
dence of his original supporters and
sponsors is fully justified. The stur-
DIV conservatism and deliberation
with which the new president has
taken up the question of patronage,
and the excellent appointments he
has so far made, compel the admira
ton of friend and foe alike. and the
leading press exponents, democratic
and republican, agree in the conclu-
sion that from present indications
the working, producing, tax-paying
American people have president at
last. The real independence, as
well, of Mr.. CleveIand's position is
beginning to be pretty generally un-
derstood. Every day it is seen that
the masses like the presidents meth
DDS and are very much in the mood
to make him a popular leader. Mr.
| Cleveland is SO strong sat large" SC
to speak, as to care little whether
his administration pleases the ultra
men of either party or not. AT least
he is understood to have entire conf
dence in the determination Of The
people to realize administrative an(
civil service reform, and he viii no
hesitate TO carry out to the lette
what he has announced as his pro
gramme in those respects.
1t is time that a more fntelligen
sentiment obtained throughout tn
country in regard to the petty off
ces within the gift of the govern
