ST. LOUIS, No., June 5.-The convention

ccived with great applause and enthusi-

will give forth no uncertain sound
on the tariff and will be In full accord with
tho Presidents message and sentiments
Of our party. The Indiana delegation Is
sending It's committees before each State
delegation urging Gov. Gray for Vice
President, and making every effort TO sc.
cure his nomination; but the ticket will be
Cleveland and Thurman. While the De-

THE English press have given Blaine's
letter of refu sal elaborate comment. One
reading between the lines cannot fail to de
tect sly qualification and satisfaction at the
Plumed Knights determination. They are
looking ahead for President who favors
free trade, one who will help them to saddle
the United States with doctrine that fosters
their indust ries and cripples ours. Blaine,
being the best exponent Of protection, the
gallant defender Of our industries, the cham
pion contestant against the Golden Club
and their false doctrines, it is not to be
wondered at that English papers rejoice,
since the fear of his canvass has been remov-
ed by his own declaration. England felt
the impress of his genius and fearlessness,
while he was Secretary of State and did net
relish his occupancy of the first position OF
the country. GdErtte.

GIVE US A LOTTERY.

Two years ago an effort was made to es.
tablish a State Lottery in Nevada. The
TINES did think favorably of the scheme
then, rather believing that such thing
should be suppressed. Although it is now
against the law to sell lottery tickets in this
State, the sale of Louisiana tickets seems to
be gradually increasing. While few years
ago tickets were only sold on the sly, they
today are sold openly by hundreds Of deal
ers. If the laws are not earned out to the
letter there is no use in having laws, and
repealed and the Constitution SO amended.
A person who is not very observing, or who
pays but little attention to the lottery bust
ness, would be surprised to learn what a
large amount of money is taken out of this
State every month by the Original and Lit
tie Louisiana Lotteries. In Virginia City it
is estimated that $40, 900, at least, will be
spent this month for lottery tickets. Reno
and Carson will each send away a sum
nearly as great, and the sale of tickets in
other parts of the State will probably swell
the total amount to nearly $2oo, 600. 1t
hardly seems possible, yet such is the case,
we are reliably informed. If we had
State Lottery in Nevada it is not very proba
bic that the people would spend much more
money for tickets than they do now, while
it is reasonable to suppose that they would
give home institution the preference Of
their patronage, thereby keeping at least
portion of the money in the State, where it
would again ind its way into the channels
OF trade. Give US a State Lottery SO that
the $50, 900 or $500, 900 now being sent out
Of the State may be spent at home, also
that Nevada for once may have a chance to
rake in some shekels from the outside.

We notice by the Bulletin that another
unfortunate woman is trying to get her child
through the assistance of the Courts in San
Francisco, and that the case is before Judge
Coffee. We pity the woman, for it is
Coffee's idea in all such cases that a child
should have a guardian ether than her
mother, and we are afraid that the lady will
not gain her daughter unless she appeals to
the judges sympathy as a Catholic of the
first water. However. some other Influence
might be brought to bear upon him that
would make him render decision in favor
Of the mother.
