THEN AND NOW.

Twenty-nine years ago last Friday General Beauregard demanded the sur render of Fort Sumter. How that demand was answered is a matter of history.
 Now General Beauregard demands the surrender of the working mems hard earned dollars to the iEsatiate maw of the Louisiana Lottery. aow that demand has been answered by North Dakota is 8 matter of history. How to suppress that lottery has been a problem, but we think the problem can be solved if Congress will pass 8 law requiring the publication of the name of every ticket holder or share holder in the official drawings of that lottery. Heretofore and at present only the names of those who draw prizes are published, as an inducement to "rope in" new victims. If the names of those who draw blanks were also published it would kill the lottery forthwith, for ii would show what slim chance there is of drawing prize and also show who were foolish enough to risk their money on such 8 chance. . ....-
