gambling III Wall street stocks and lost

A Danger Signal.
Baton Rouge Advocate.

Baton Rouge Advocate.
The proposition to incorporate in
the. constitution of the United States
an article prohibiting any State from
chartering a lottery oil similar ~institu-
ton meets with protests in many I'M
expected quarters. 1t is viewed with
alarm as another step toward centrali-
cation, and the first step toward the in
a%uguration of the new idea that the
general government must take care OF
the morals of the people. A very ex-
c~ellent, vigorousl and timely editorial
on the subject comes to us in the col
ums Of the Toledo Commercial, one OF
the leading dailies of Ohio. The text
of the editorial is the resolution lately
adopted by the Farmers Alliance con-
veption asking for such a constitution
al amendment, which the Commercial
at the outset declares to be "revolu-
tionary and unwise, great as the evil
Of the lottery is confessed to be-" The
Commercial further says:
There are cases in which the proposed rem
edy is worse than the disease, and this is one
of them. Those who are honestly opposed to
the lottery feel their intelligence insulted by
uFIDdSDGiC dppthAS lUE HSSlStduCC IL tAO PAo
motion of snch unwise methods.
The more this professional Louisiana Dem
~ocratic anti-lottery society developes its head
the more it seems to us that some motive is
present other than honest opposition to the
lottery itself. n = y In ali ~friendliness to
the people of Louisiana we say If you really
want assistance from the outside to down the
lottery, choke off your demagogues and fools,
All amendment to the constitution
Of the United States to provide tor State NOR
ality will not be endorsed as d remedy.
1t must be remembered that the To-
ledo Commercial, from which the above
extract is taken, is ID staunch Republi-
can paper Of the very highest standing
in national journalism. 1t sees the
danger and sounds the signal that there
are some things more dangerous than
the Louisiana lottery, and n of these
now confronts us III the shape of IA pro.
[ posed constitutional amendment to reg
uIate the morals of the people by spe
cial prohibitory enactment. This u
the first step what the Others may b'
can be readily guessed from the intol

Progressive League Meeting.

N. O.. Times Democrat About 200
representative citizens attended the
regular monthly meeting OF the Pro-
gressive League of Louisiana, held last
night at the Grunewald Opera House.
President Robert S. Day occupied the
chair and Secretary Thomas A. Mar
shall was at the desk.
The minutes of the last meeting, held
on Oct. G., were read and adopted, and
the following report of the executive
committee of the organization was read
and ordered spread on the minutes:
Your committee beg leave to report
that the affairs Of this league are pro
crossing as well as could be desired in
this city and throughout the State. At
the inception of the organization OF
the Progressive League of Louisiana
the excitement on the subject of the
lottery amendment ran SO high and the
~preiudices and passions of a portion of
the citizens Of the State were so arou
ed that IL was very difficult to obtain
a proper consideration of the real mer
it's of the question at issue. At this
time we are happy to say that reports
from all parts of the State are to the eff
ect that sober reason has resumed its
sway and the citizens of Louisiana are
giving a calm and intelligent consider
alton to this question which so con-
Germs their comfort and welfare, with
out regard to political or religious fana-
ticism uninfuenced by the ISLANDERS
and Misrepresentation of persons in
terested in opposing it. Our advices
confirm us in the belief that at least
two -thirds of the citizens of the State
are heartily in favor of adopting the
revenue system embodied in the lot
terry amendment, and we anticipate
that the cause will continue to gain ia
yor from now until ELECTION day. In
spite or the SANDER of its enemies, the
object and aims of the Progressive
League are becoming well understood
throughout the State, and the league is
finding support among the best people
of every parish. Although beginning
several months later than the anti or
%ganization, league is organized il
over twice as many parishes as theirs.
and your executive committee will con.
tinue to vigorously press the orgniza
ton to an early completion.
1.-THE articles which we have been
sending oat to the citizens of the State
under the title of the . Question of the
Hour have received thoughtful consld.
GRAFTON at the hands of the Intelligent
citizens who desire to inform them
selves on both sides Of the question in
volved and, SO far, our information is
that they have done IA great deal Of
good. 1t gives us much pleasure ta
say that not a single statement of fact
contained in . Question of the Hour
has been successfully contradicted by
any responsible authority.
Your committee urges every mem.

in behalf of the cause, or to leave any
thing undone which will insure its vic
