CHICAGO'S SHAME.

From tho Burlington Hawkeyc April %, 1890.
The Chicago papers are agreed that
pool rooms and gambling houses are in

that tho Infamous louisiana Lottery and
other lotteries equally infamous have
we'll established agencies in Chicago.
They are both protected and patronized

that brother of a Democratic Con-
gressnan is one of the agents of the
lotteros. This is not a very encourag
ing feature Of life in Chicago to hold
up before the nation in view of the
coming Worlds Fair. 1t would not
hurt Chicago or the fair particle to
institute some pretty vigorous moral
reforms n that city before the expected

such members of the police depart

STOP THEIR MAIL.


Uncle sam Can Fix Bush, Moore, Hogan X
Co. it lie Wants To.
Many of the tickets bought from
Moore and other Chicago dealers are
ordered through the mails
To stop the use of the mails, the
law as it stands is sufficient.
Section 1894 explicitly prohibits let
ters and circulars concerning lotteries,
so-called gift concerts and enterprises
offering prizes.
And it also prohibits the same con
corning any other schemes intended to
deceive or defraud from being carried
in the mail.
Remember particularly that two
distinct classes are named, and re-
member that the word illegal" that
formerly stood between the words
concerning lotteries" was eliminated
in 1876 by Congress, so that the sec
ton not only applies to the Louisiana
lottery but it cannot any longer claim
exemption from this section on the
ground that it is not an illegal com
pany and does not deceive or defraud.
