DAKOTA LOTTERY SCHEME

There is great excitement in North
Dakota over the proposition to au-
thorize State Lottery. The bill has
already passed tho Senate, and it is
believed that arrangements have
Been perfected for the concurrence of
the House. The following dispatch
dated jamestown, n. d. Feb. 6, ex-
plains the matter:
''That the better class of people Of
this place and of this vicinity wore
dazed at the report that the Legisla-
ture is seriously proposing to transfer
bodily the Louisiana State Lottery
to North Dakota is putting it mildly.
1t seems that the charter of the lot
terry in the former State will expire
by limitation in 1892, and the Legisla-
ture is forbidden by the Constitution
to legalize its existence.
sour Constitution contains no in
hibition against the chartering of
lotteries, and, therefore, it's incorpo-
ration here would be perfectly lawful,
rs lotteries are recognized by the
common law, and were never pro-
hibited in England until about 1880.
The pretense and preteXt under which
this outrage is to be accomplished is
the present embarrassed condition of
the State finances. 1t is proposed
that the lottery company shall pay
the State a license of 100000 a year.
1.-The combination has developed
ample strength to pass the measure
by large majority in the Legislature.
1t is developed that the Governor will
veto the bill and the combination is
now forming to make sure of the
necessary two-thirds with which to
pass it over his veto. 1t is conceded
that they have already secured the
necessary number in the House."
