WILSON'S BILL FAVORABLY RE
PORTED TO THE SENATE.

Papers Containing the Announcements
of the Lottery Companies to be Ruled
Out Of the Mails if the Measure Passes
The BIZ Declared Constitutional by
the Committee.
W WASHINGTON, Jan. SIN the Senate
to-day Mr.. Wilson, OF Iowa, reported
faVorably from the Committee on Post
Offices and Post Roads, the bill intro
duced by him to prohibit the mailing of
newspapers and other publications con-
tanning lottery advertisements. The re-
port accompanying the bill says that
several States have acted resolutely and
with marked unanimity in their en-
deavors to suppress the malign presence
OF the lottery. Louisiana stands almost
alone in toleration of the evil, and she
has pronounced against it after 1895.
SELFISH QUALIFICATIONS.
Vermont and Delaware qualify their
prohibition by allowing such lotteries as
may be authorized by their own laws
While denouncing those recognized by the
laws OF other States, and it seems to the
committee that this almost unanimous
movement OF the States to defend them
selves against the demoraIizung effects Of
lotteries ought to be recognized and pro-
NOTED by the nation. "Atal events" the
report says, "the postal system ought not
to be degraded to the condition of an in
strument for the promotion of crime"
PURPOSE OF THE BILL.
The report says: 1t is the purpose OF
the bill to aid the States in their efforts to
suppress the crime, which they have de-
nOunced with almost entire unanmity.
IT, is infnndad a1aco N UTnTfoA
mails against the transmission of lottery
advertisements of every kind and charac-
ter. Without some law" the report
continues, 1.-THE insidiOus temptations
contained in cunningly devised lottery
advertisements viii continue to invade
every State, family, shop. Office, or other
place Of business, or of pleasure or public
and private resort in spite of the efforts
which the States have made to prevent
it."
THE BILL CONSTITUTIONAL.
The committee says the bill is undoubt-
edly constitutional and quotes the decision
of the Supreme Court uphOlding the right
OF Congress to pass such laws, and con-
ciudes its report by saying: Freedom of
the press was not guaranteed for the pur-
pose of entrenching in our system an
enemy to its better conditions. On the
contrary it was established for the pur-
pose of promoting such conditions. If it
be prostituted to base purposes of crime
and decentralization of the people and to
the swindling devices Of manipulatOrs of
lottery schemes, surely Congress NAV say
that it shall not be entitled TO use the in
strumentahty of the mail to effect lis
needs. The evil agencies in society are
sufficiently active aud effective Of harm
full results, in spite of all that is dObe to
restrain them, without being reinforced
by doctrine and practice which would
entrench them in the constitutional guar
antee of freedom Of the press and assure
them immunity in the use OF the mails"

The Republican Senators Take an I'm
precedented Course.
WAsHINGToN, Jan. S.-The members
Of the Cabinet and the heads of the bu-
reaus have not determined as yet how
they shall answer the printed circulars
which they have received from the
chairmen OF the Senat committees
having jurisdiction OF the nomina-
tions to Offices respectively under
each officer addressed, asking the reasons,
in cases of appointments upon the sus-
pension of officials, for such suspension.
They could reply quite truthiully that
they did not suspend the officials mem
toned in the circulars, or any Others-the
President, and no one else, has the power
Of suspensi0n-but they will probably
either refer the circulars to the President,
or permit them to lie unanswered on their
desks.
THE ACTION UNPRECEDENTED.
The action OF the Republican Senators
in addressing these circulars to Cabinet
officers and bureau chiefs is unprece-
dented. IL is understood 70 have been the
suggestion of the Hon. Warner Miller, of
New York. When the President comes
10 give his reasons for bis suspensions
they will be found TO be conclusive.
