This is the conclusion which we have

very pleasant understanding. Mr. Ju-

warmly endorsed Mr.. Russell, who. on

sidared candidate if Dr. Tuck was in
the field DR.. Tuck made no applica-
tion. His only paper was strong lee
ter filed by Mr. Mudd. On Wednesday
Mr.. liudd saw the President, and made
a strong plea in Tuck's behalf, though
he added that it was without that gen
tleman's knowledge, On I'll ursday the
appointment was made. DR., Tuck

We are unable to discover any confor,

ward by the Democrats themselves as
the main issue, we are inclined 10 think
that they are particularly hard up for a
rational explanation Of their disaster and
in bad plight for making compaigu

If, after all the fuss that has been
made by the Democratic leaders in Con

majority, they are unable to keep theil

them from focking by hundreds to tn,

fact that it is an English syndicate is a
drawback 1t has proved to be so in

many Irish keepers, and, almost
without exception, they decline to buy
beer of English syndicate breweries. So
strong is this prejudice that an effort is

public sentiment is strongly against ire
granting o. new lease Of life 20 the in
famous Louisiana Lottery Compsny. 1t
is evident that the attention Of the pep
pie all over the country is being called
to this iniquiious business, and 1t may
confidently be hoped that an irresistible
tide of public sentiment will set in to-
ward the Louisiana Legislature. Gov
ernor Nichols has taken a bold and no.
bic stand, firmly refusing to be bribed
It is n matter Of interest to every true
patriot, for Louisiana is not the only
party to the business The income OF
the company is from every Sta e and
Territory in the Union. It's votaries
exist in every city. town and village.
1t is justly called a national scourge.

men are interested in thu suppression Of
gambling Of every form, for they are
not safe, while the temptation to en-
ployees to gamble is present. Anthony
Comstock, that veteran in the work of
suppressing vice, says in the May issue
of "Our Day." unless the laws against
these evils are more rigidly enforced,
the time ia not far distant when employ
ers will have to organize a vigilance
committee to prevent the pilfering of
their employees. A Broadway business
man recently said to me, merchants
ought to combine to sustain your society
for their own protection" "As many

ries have sprung up in the past year
Continuing, Comstock says: The rava-
ges of pool, gambling, and bookmaking
in the past year have been fearful to
conte nplate From all sides come &C
counts Of dishonesty, embezzlements,
defalcations, breaches of trust, robbery
suicide and murder. This sort Of high
handed robbery, when boss gam blers
and their touts invade not only every
rae course, but openly maintain pool
rooms in the midst of the IN arts Of trade,
is a constant menace to industrious hab-
its. To spread gittering inducements
of gain before the hardworklng and ig-
norant classes, to take the poor man
dollar that should 60 to buy bread fol
his family, is the quintessence Of cruelty
but to legalizo scheme that induces
men an / women of Nil classes in society
to become gamblers is to outrage the
fundamental principles of good govern
ment." Similar testimony might b'
CLEANED from almost every respectable
newspaper and periodical in the land
Let all good men set their faces sternll
against every such thing, and public
legalized gambling will cease. -Revie y
