Several Sorts of Sin.

1t is not often that great metropolitan
newspaper undertakes to impose upon its
readers such ridiculously transparent twad-
die, that does not even amount to plausible
sophistry. as did the New York World the
other day. Replying TO the inquiry of
correspondent whom it describes as "a citi-
zen of curiously warped intellect" who
very pertinently inquired why the paper
"made war upon the Louisiana lottery.
while it says nothing in behalf of the sup
preston of horse racing" the editor pro-
ceeds to ''straights1 that intellect" as he
calls it, by saying that the lottery is "a de-
moralizing influence of the very worst
character" also "a swindling concern" and
ga great money power in organized hostility
to the democratic institutions of our coun-
try" etc
On the other hand he seriously AYERS that
horse racing is open to no such indict-
men )" that lit is noble outdoor SPORT
and Furthermore sit stimulates endeavors
in the breeding and training of horses,
adding directly and greatly to the wealth of
the country"
How horse racing adds greatly TO the
wealth of the country" he doesn't take the
trouble TO explain. But he goes right ahead
and says that gamblers take advantage of
racing contests for their purposes, but 50 do
gamblers take advantage of mems interest
in the speed of steamships"
That is the weakest sp ecial pleading that
any reputable newspaper ever placad be-
fore the public. 1t is an affront to public
intelligence.
Putting aside the question of relative
morality, it seems TO be self-evident that
any institution having legal existence has
right to the use of the United States mail,
which cannot lawfully be denied under au-
thority of the national constitution.
Now as to comparing horse racing to
steamships, it is utterly absurd. There is
not the slightest resemblance between them
Steamships, the same as railway trains.
are run for legitimate commercial purpose
not even remotely connected with ga,nb-
ling. There is no more reason for betting on
their speed than upon the speed of train,
dove or funera But horse racing had
its inception aud derives its existence and
vitality from gambling. Without that it
would soon be abandoned. That is well
known And the World only renders itself
palpably ridiculous when it makes state
ments to the contrary.
Can it be that few race course adver-
tisements and season pass or 50 tend to
completely bias the judgment and blind

Not so Dumb as Thew Look.

buried In snow it is desolaye. The long days
were unbroken by any event. The ice seemed
to be getting firmer. We were perishing with
ennWi. That is how we got to watching the
crows. These poor things were dying of star
vation and they could not resist the TEMPTATION
to hover about the ship. They could not get
the food out OF the water, but stood on the
blocks of ice and looked envious down into
the waves at the drifting bits of refuse
The poor black wretches could not stand still
on the ice or their feet would have frozen fast
so they shifted from one leg to another in a
manner which gave them the appearance of
dancing.
''Au about with screams and tapping of
wings. flew a flock of gulls snatching the food
from the water and fighting in fierce good fell

danced surrounding them, picking up bits of
food and depositing them within reach Of their

in their sore distress, and Londered on the ian
guage OF those creatures we arrogantly call
dumb.''

Her Fad Small Brothers Revenge.


That was a mean joke played on a young
lady OF Washington avenue the other evening
by small brother, says the St. Louis Republic.
She had refused to let him go with her for a
horseback ride one day. and he spitefulIy told
her he would get even with her. "
She has habit of carrying in her pocket q
little silver and gilt powder puff box and when
she teels that her nose needs a touching with
the pun she slides il out carefully and under
her corsage handkerchief it reaches the dainty
feature and swiftly and hidden performs its
mission as a '.wheelman." The small boy
knew this small boys are born detectives-on
older sistersl and he procured some cigar ashes
and seeking his sisters pow Ter puff case it was
the work of one small moment to empty out
the white powder and to fill the case with
cigar ashes.
That night the young lady attended per-
formance al the Olympic theater. During the
performance her nose began to feel E'un-
powdery, 50 she whisked the case out of her
pocket TO give the usual seer tive touch with
the puff. behind her handkerchief A moment
later she was smiling sereneiy in her escorts
face and he-his expression was simply indie
scrlbaole; horror, amazement surprise, all
blended IN one concentrated glance al the up
turned fac.

Inc member in question on the pretty face

claimed: MY nose is not gray. What do you

gray; deucedly gray; excuse the expression,

paused. Why, you are right she gasped,

sunt. Porter,s Censns.

The republican papers have found it
| necessary to defend Supt. Porter's census
All along they have been insisting that the
charges that Supt. Porter is not fitted for
the work of taking the census and that his
| census Of the population was nowhere near
correct were unfounded.
They are beginning 10 change their tune
now. 1t has become evident that his
enumeration of the population of New York
city is many Thousands out of the way. The
authorities of that city we're satisfied that
the census was not correctly taken, and the
mayor ordered the police department to
take it, The work is not yet flushed, but it
is sufficiently advanced to show the city has
about 80, 900 more people than is shown by
Supt Porter's enumeration.
The New York Tribune now says that if
the census is not a correct and satisfactory
one it will be because of the stupid census
law enacted by a democratic congress and
signed by a democratic President. So it
seems that Supt Porter's shortcomings are
charged to the account of the democrats by
the republican press. 1t will not be posi-
BILE, however, to make the public believe
that the census law is responsible for a mis-
take of 10000 in the enumeration of the
population of New York.
1t has been asserted that there was intsn-
tional carelessness in the enumeration of
New York's population, with view of de-
priving that city of a congressman. 1t is
hardly probable, however, that the asser-
ton is we'll founded. Evidences of care
lessness in the enumeration of the popula-
ton are cropping out in nearly every part
of the country. For weeks the newspapers
have been asserting that the census was not
correctly taken In their respective localities,
and they furnished pretty strong evidence
of the truth of what they said.
Probably Supt. Porter has done the best
he could. The President made mistake in
putting him at the head of the census bu-
reau. He lacks the requisite qualifca-
lions for the position. The high tariff folks
insisted in having him appointed because
they wanted to get certain things in the
census that would bolster up tho high pro.
lection theory, and the President yielded to
their opportunities. This result is there will
be a want of confidence in the census OF
1890.

Kicking against Q-ay's control

A very interesting, but rather extraordi-
nary document is the open letter which the
Lincoln independent republicans OF Phila-
delphia addressed to the President the other
day. It calls the attention Of the President
to the fact that charges Of venality and
corruption have been made az ailst Senator
Quay, the republican boss Of Pennsylvania
and that the senator has not denied them or
attempted to show that they are ia Sc 1t
contains the suggestion that the President
ought to withdraw his confidence from him
and refuse TO recognize him in distributing
the federal patronage OF the state.
OF course the Lincola Independent repub-
licans knew when they wrote this letter
that the President wouldn't pay any at
tention to it, and they did not expect him
to. The President would not dare TO with
draw his confidence from Senator Quay,
even If he were satisfied that the senator
ought TO be in the pelitentiary instead of
directing the affairs Of the Republican
party, because the senator is the repository
OF too many of the secrets of that Republican
party.
The President knows, and many other
prominent republicans know, that Mr..
Cleveland would now be President if Sena-
tor Quay had not managed the national
repub lean campaign in 1888. Some things
connected with his management have been
made public, but the inside history of that
campaign will never be published unless
Senator Quay should do great deal more
talking than he does now. There is no
doubt, however, that President Harrison
was elected by means of the vast sums of
money which we're placed in Senator Quay's
hands to be distributed where he thought
they would do the most good. That he
used the money judiciously and with telling
effect all the world knows
Under the circumstances the Presiden
would as soon think of resigning his great
office as to do anything that would bs dis
pleasing to Senator Quay. The newspapers
may tell of his corrupt practices. and charge
him with having committed crimes that
would send almost any other man to the
but the senator will still re-
main at the head of the Republican party
and distribute the patronage of Pennsylva-
MIA Senator Quay is just the kind of
man the Republican party wants-a man
who can achieve success by Questionable o.
other methods and keep his mouth shut
when attacked.
