TWO GAMES.

The bill to suppress the playing of
craps, gambling game patronized
chiefly by plantation negroes, meets
with great favor in the Legislature.
1t is good move. The bill presented
by the citizens of New Orleans to sup
press the gilded aud gorgeously light
ed gambling hells on the public thor
oughfares Of this city has not been re-
ceived with favor; but, on the contrary
has been husted out Of the way by an
indefinite postponement. This is
most deplorable business, but 1t shows
the vastly different estimates placed by
the Legislature on gambling when
country gambling is compared with
that In the metropolis. Gambling is
an evil; it is in violation Of the State
Constitution and 1t called for prohlbi-
tory legislation; but the line must be
drawn somewhere, and it has been
drawn by the Legislature at the doors
Of the Royal street gambling houses.
