Pool Selling,

As the Senate proposes TO take up the
calendar, and the bill which passed the
House of Representatives to suppress pool
selling is on the calendar and may be
reached, we propose to make one more
protest against its passage in the present
form.
Pool selling should not be permitted
anywhere in the District except on the
days when the regular spring and fall
meetings are held on the race course, and
then only on the race grounds.
The game called keno has long
been recognized as the worst form Of
gambling to impoverish the poor aud lead
the young astray; and it has been prohib-
tied everywhere. Yet keno" is com
paratiyely harmless alongside ofpool SELL
ing
Under the bill passed in the House the
booksellers can cross Boundary street and
open their halls" to run every day and
night in the year. This would be worse
than ito have them on Pennsylvania
avenue, where they are under the more
immediate supervision of the police.
The evils of pool selling were illustrated
here in the city within ten days A man
who had held a position Of trust for years
became buyer Of pools He spent his
money and then some of that of the gov
ernment. He went to the poolseller, told
him the facts, and asked for loan of 500
TO replace the money taken. 1t was re-
fused him. He continued to buy pools in
the hope of retrieving his losses and would
now be in a prison cell, having appealed
in vain to the man who profited by his
dishonesty to become his bondsman, if a
friend had not came to his relief.

The Mills bill authorizing the Secretary
of the Treasury to use the surplus in the
purchase of United States bonds will prob.
ably pass the Senate. In an ordinary
business transaction careful and con-
scicntious agent would ask for specific in
structions if the principal expected him to
purchase in open market his notes at
market rates when they were quoted at
% per cent. above par and liable, by the
act of purchase to advanccto 30 or more.
Ii is the more necessary in the present
case. as the agent has fatled to demand
for the government any reduction of in
tcrest on the United States bonds de-
posted to secure S60,00O0O0 of currency
leaned national banks to relieve the con-
traction of the currency, at n time when
the pressure for money was 50 great and
the interest so high as to place the coun
try upon the verge of financial panic
So far as the bonds to be purchased for
the sinking funds are concerned, the con-
tract between the government and the
bondholder is too plain to require discus
sion. Any premium paid on the purchase
Of bonds for this fund is in violation OF
the law and a gratuity given to the bond
holder at the expense of the taxpayer.

HOUSE bill No. 7785, known as the fur
Tough bill, seems to be just and proper
measure. 1t is not a pension bill, but regu-
lation of the homes, authorizing the man
ayers to furlough men at $l2 whom they
admit at a cost of Sl4.75 per month. This
system of ont pensions, adopted in Green
wich Hospital, England can be extended,
if desired, through the machinery of the
homes, TO give relief to the ten thousand
veterans now in the almshouses, or to
such an extent as it proves economical
and beneficial. The cost of administra-
ton would be trihing, and Sl45, 600 per an
mum would cover the cost of furloughs for
one thousand men, whose maintenance in
an expensive home would cost SLIT 900.
Such system is manifestly just and rec
ommends itself.

forts and .perils incident to army life in

consideration must have induced those
men to volunteer. What were the perils
to which the soldiers were exposedp Sta
tistics show that more than $4,000 of the
army were killed or died from various
causes during the war, while the number
manned for life Is estimated at over 400
goo. The total killed, died of wounds,
&c, and MANNED exceeded Sl7.-
600, being over 25 per cent, or more
than one out of every four of the
large number whose constitutions were seri-
1850 1872 who enlisted. Add to these the
ously and permanently impaired by ex-
posuTc, &c, and IL will be readily seen
that a soldiers chance of coming ont of
the army wholly sound physically was
very slight indeed. The men were aware
of all these perils when they enlisted, and
none but the purest of patriotic motives
could have influenced their action. The
services of the men who saved the nation
should never be forgotten.
The beloved Lincoln, in his second in
augural address, Mar. a, 1855, when the
end of the war was clearly in view, ap-
pealed to the nation ito care for him who
shall have borne the battle and his widow
and his orphans" Mr.. Lincoln's words
are as pertinent to-day as they were
