IN THE VITALS.

The passage of the anti-lottery bill
without visible opposition in congress
may be credited to the pressure of pub
lie sentiment and the demand of the
press, rather than to the ethical temper
of the members of either house. 1t will
at once become law. and. so far as
practicable, the mails Will be closed to
all matter that has the lottery odor
about it. The provisions are so rigid
that their enforcement will probably
deter from any furtive or secret at
tempts at evasion. Nearly all the
newspapers in North Dakota that were
in the lottery combine are carry
ing q good deal of advertising
for the Louisiana institution, and
one in Mexico or some neigh
ing country. This is true also of papers
in most of the states in this section.
The act will not be likely to drive the
octopus at once to the boneyard, but
will cramp and cripple it so that it will
hardly be able to pay Louisiana mill
ion of dollars year for permission to
live, nor will it attempt to buy it's way
into any Northern state. 1t may still
carry on business to some extent by the
use of the express, but it will be hedged
about with all sorts of aunovances, and
the states may enforce their anti-lottery
acts, making it difficult to sell the tick
cts. If denied renewal of Its charter
in Louisiana, it is not apparent how
that great deceiver of the credulouS can
find room for its perniciOus operations.

A MISTAKE MADE.

One feature of the recent voting in
Maine is not quite understood. 1t has
been for generation the habit of all
parties to indOrse the prohibition law
every year. At the Democratic state
convention before the election a motion
was carried over strong opposition look
ing TO the substitution of license for
prohibition. In place of drawing votes
from the Republicans it drove many
Democrats to the other side, and kept
much larger number away from the
polls. This was one of the chief factors
in the erratic result. 1t is one of the
curious facts, and one difficult to ex-
plain, that there is in that state such in
yeterate adherence to the law that has
so long had the name of the state. There
is hardly serious pretense that it is en-
forced. Liquor is freely sold in all the
towns, and the statistics show that
the consumption is not materi-
ally, if at all, curtailed; still,
there is determination to stand
by the principle. The philosophy Of
this is not quite palpable. Perhaps the
fact that the state mas the paternity of
the system may make it local produc-
ton for which there has grown up an
attachment. The Puritan inheritance
may have so peculiar moral sense that
it cannot legalize the sale of liquors,
even while consuming. Prohibition on
the statute book ald in theory satisfies
the ethical constitution, while the gross
er part has its nourishment. 1t was in
Maine impolitic for the Democrats to
take all honest stand Oh this question.

Danimity would be sufficient to take up

given to understand that the receipts
he gave the campaign committee were
designed to be made in full for services
rendered. No Alaska governorship or
other profitable situation could be had.
Not even courteous interviews were ae-

GANG AND sMAsHERs.
APleasant Little Republican Split
in Colorado.

+ DENVER, Sept. 1.-THE Republican
state convention met here this morning
at 10 o'clock. and elected Alexander
Gullett, of Pueblo, temporary chairman,
appointed committee on credentials,
and took recess till 2 O'Clock. There
is bitter factional fight in the Repub-
lican party of Colorado, one faction
being termed 1.-The gang" and the other
''the gang smashers." The former has
control of the state and county offices,
and are making a strong fight to
continue in power, while the
other faction are leaving no stone
unturned to GUST them. The fight is Sc
bitter in Arapahoe county that at the
county convention held here OH Mon.
day 1.-THE gang" bolted, held conven.
tion of their own, and the result is that
this county has contested delegation
before the state convention. The same
state of affairs exists in several other
counties. This will make the work of
the committee on credentials very tedi-
GUS and long. Temporary Chairman
Guliett is in sympathy with ''the gang"
and no doubt that faction will control
the convention. Both sides indorse
Henry NJ. Teller for reelection to the
United States senate. The convention
reassembled at 9 o'clock, but, as sthe
committee on credentials was not ready
to report, adjourned until 10 o'clock to-
morrow

gren. j. Miller. j. Donohue and E. R. Nafe
q. j. Lomen made short speech, in which
ne challenged the comparison of the records
TO the two great parties and called upon any
one to speak of the deeds of Democracy
Later in his speech he said the reason oil
Democratic success is better and more able
work done by that party. 1t was apparent
from what he said in the latter part of his;
speech that he remembered that he
is owing considerable to the Dem
ocratc party in not putting up
man against him for the legisla-
ture and he does not want to leave the i'm
preston that he does not think the Demo-
Gratis do good thing once in while s.
Lowenstein was asked to address the meet
ing, but declined. Captain Osborne delivered
short talk. A resolution approving the
nominations of the Republican county con
yention and pledging the club to work for
the election of the ticket was adopted.

THE MUMMY INDUSTRY,

The absur lily of the robber tariff was
fairly eXemplified in the case of Mil
waukee gentleman who recently pur-
chased and shipped home couple of
Egyptian mummies. HERMAN FRANK,
of Milwaukee, who visited Egypt few
months ago, came across two mummies
which were declared to be of the time of
RAMEsES Ii. Imbued with the Ameri-
can fondness for the antique, Mr.. FRANK
unlOaded $500 of his good United
States coin in exchange for the relics of
Egyptian manhood, and shipped the
linen-wrapped carcases to Milwaukee
by way of New York. Continuing his
Journeys and researches in foreign lands
lelsurely, Mr.. FRANK returned home
after several months, and was disap-
pointed in not finding his mummies.
Search was made for them, and they
were found locked up in the custom
house at New York, where they had
been stored in default of the $500
mummy tax imposed by the Republican
tariff laws. The Milwaukee man pro-
tested aga inst the extortionate charge,
but the HARRISON administration Gus
tom house official coolly informed him
that it was the settled policy of the Re-
publican party to protect the mummy
industry in this country.
The Milwaukee mans subsequent eX-
perience demonstrated that the robber
tariff was intended to protect the
mummy industry in Egypt, and not in
the United States. When he had paid
the $500 tax and got his mummies home,
he invited his friends to celebrate the
mummy opening, and, according to the
time-honored Milwaukee custom, beer
flowed in profusion. When the as
sembled guests had eaten and drunk
their fill, the boxes were opened and the
mummies unrolled. Mr.. FRANK was
bewildered and heart-broken, and his
guests were i'll stupor of amazement,
when it was discovered, after unrolling
the bandages, that there was nothing on
the inside but little handful of COM
mon everyday Egyptian dust, which
can be picked up on the banks of the Nile
by the cart load. He had been done up
by the Egyptian mummy manufacture
erS. who carry on thriving business
under the protection of the American
tariff laws, which prohibit the Yankee
from entering into competition with the
Egyptian fakirs.

vim light.
NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-Tho following
special cable was received from London
to-day: 1.-The interest in the McAullffe
and Slavin battle is increasing. The
fight is the main feature in sporting
circles. A well-known bookmaker has
received communication from a
syndicate of Australian bookmakers
TO back Slavin. Betting rules at
six to five on the American, but the
Australian money may change this.
Several Of the English bookmakers have
laid heavily against Slavin, and Lords
Christen, Declitford, and Lonsdale have
also backed the American. McAuliffe's
trainers are satisfied with his condition
and are sanguine that he will win.
Sporting men are in quandary over the
date of the fight, but it is expected to
take place on the 22d. 1t has not been
definitely settled who will second the
American
