ing gambling. No one but \ close oh.
server can form any idea to VIVA, extent
1t has been carried on in this city. am
aware the saloon keepers have been no.
titled to discontinue the practice. Still
toa certain extent it is secretly carried
on, I do not propose to say where; those
in authority arc the persons upon whom
devolves the duty to see that the law is
n o violated, hut in common with all
citizens I have q right to protest. l do not
gamble myself, so personally Am no suf-
ferer. yet 200 many have a strange fasci-
nation for il. But tho evil is, 'tis
not them alone who suffer, the wife aud
little ones have to endure the hard PEN
atty" ask you, sir. has the husband
and father u right to fling into the peck
cts OF a set OF worthless sharpers his
fanily's bread and butter? Iwotn not. I
an not hitting solely at the saloons alone
where the svi! exists. The vendor OF
intoxicants has a perfect right to sell, but
let him do it III q legitimate manner and
not keep a gambling hell where the weak
minded MA be ruined and those who
are dependent upon them made to want
the n~ecessaries Of life. ESos.

An Expression Of Confidence.

Geo. p. Powell Il Co., the publishers
OF the American Newspaper Directory,
undertake to rate newspaper circula-
tions; very mich ~ tho mercantile aXon-
cies gave the capital and credit ratings
of the business community. About one
publisher in ten is willing to have his
exact issue known, and tells it with
truthful precision, but some OF the others
decline to tell the facts concerning their
W issue because they assert that those
who do tell, do not tell truly. Messrs.
Rowell x Co.. after an experience Of
twenty wears, have come to the conclu-
sion that the facts will no. sustain this
view: and in the twentieth annual issue
Of their book, now in the binders hands,
they plainly designate every paper which
Is rated in exact accordance with a de-
tailed statement from tho publisher; and
offer to pay a reward Of hundred dol
lars for each and every instance ola mis-
statement for which a publisher is res
ponsible. Tho lxTER-OcEAN is ono OF
the papers which ia willing to have it
known how many it prints and whose
good faith the Directory publishers ex-
press a willingness to guarantee to the
axtent O: one hundred dollars.
