THE GAMBLING MANIA

An Epldemlc That Il Growing Moro v1ru-
in lent Every Day.
The passion for gambling has foz
many years been increasing in this
country. until it threatens to become
pre-eminently the national vice.
Whether it arose from the fever for
speculation which indirectly WAS one of
tho most evil Of the results of the rebel.
lion in the North. or whether the cause
Is to be looked for in that general. spirit
fastening to be rich that Is prominent
Characteristic OF American civilization
it might not be easy to determine; but
Of the fact there is unhappily no room
for doubt . -
II 10 not alone that the lottery has BE-

much one may shirk from acknowledge

1t Is not alone. that SO many millions

times shows itsclf. 1t is In the constant
illusions to poker-playing which figure
In the columns Of every newspaper, which
adorn every. farce, and which form half
the stock in trade of the so-called comic
pafagrapher. II is in the complete mania
for betting on horse-racing that has Ia
