WHY NO AFFIDAvTTS
AGAINST THE PRESI-
DENTS SON?

CTioss-De0ocrat rassday.l
Yesterday affldavit was made
against Capt. J. Pinckney Smith,
business manager Of the States, for
alleged violation Of the anti-lottery
law.
The question that naturally
arises, however. Il whether the Law
b to b equally enforced, or enfor-
ced only against Democratic and
Southern papers. The onense on
which the af'idavit against the States
was based occurred more than two
weeks ago: yesterday the mails
brought In copies Of Frank Leslie's,
still containing the advertisement
Of The German Lottery. which
= In direct violation Of the anti-lot-
terry law, but has been published in
every number Of Frank Leslie's
since the act Wa passed. The law
has been violated several hundred
thousand times BY this Republican
journal, boldly. openly and defiant
y broken. Mr.. Russell Harrison,
owner Of Frank Leslie's. has appar-
entity come to the conclusion that
the Federal authorities are not 60
ing to disturb the Predicate son,
and that he IAN publish IN advertise
ment for which other men are sub
jected to arrest and punishment.

cial privileges different from other

ABOUT LOTTERIES.

in anotlR column ~ publish
sne extracts from . circu-
laf recently issued By tho Progress

show that lotteries have been look
ID upon with favor In this country
from the earliest days Of the Re-
public. II money was needed to
carry on the war With England, or
to found . college, OF for public
improvements Of any kind, the
popular way TO raise the necessary
funds Vas by . lottery. The fact
that al Glasses Of people pasronised
them, including Washington, JET
feFson, Franklin, all the members
of The Continental Congress, and
people in al walks Of life, shows
that they saw nothing immoral in it,
and our statesmen Of those DAYS
were noted for their morality and
piety. And lotteries have been re-
sorted to for public and charitable
purposes, from that day to this, by
States. cities, towns, colleges,
churches, etc. It was only when
the Louisiana State Lottery Com.
pany applied for . renewal OF its
charter, proposing TO give $780,
600 . year for the privilege. the
money to 60 to the public asylums,
levees. pensions Of Con-
fedetate veterans, etc., that any
thing immoral was found In it. The

this company. caused by its honesty !

The latest development in the penny.
in-the-slot system is an automatic cof-
fee tavern now ON exhibition at Birming
ham. The purchaser drops in his penny
and pulls out n knob labeled with the
drink he desires. Then, by pressing a
tap. he is able to draw the exact guam
tity. There arc two plated cups for the
use Of customers, and n second tap gives
a constant supply Of water for rinsing.
Each reservoir of drink holds seven gal
Ions, and tea and coffee are kept hot by
an unseen gas burner. The automaton
turns the gas out when the reservoir
is exhausted, and displays a notice
Empty" in front. Iced drinks are to
be sold through the same machines,
which can also be utilized for the sale of
sandwiches, pies and cakes.-London
