The Louisiana Lottery.

Against lotteries in general aud the
Louisiana lottery in particular, too strong
ground cannot be taken. A good Baptist
deacon whom we knew when we were a
boy, bad about the right idea of it when, IN
his hesitating way, he said: "A man who
invests mis- money in lottery ticket, stands
better chance, as a general rule, to be
struck by lightning, than to draw prize :"
The failure to draw a prize, however, is
not by any means, the worst of it. The
patronizing Of lotteries is gambling, and
gambling is one of the worst evils of this
age and country.
We are credibly informed that the
Louisiana Lottery finds victims in this city
and that monthly quite a large sum of
money finds its way from the pockets Of
Ellsworth peo lie to swell the ill-gotten
gains of the Louisiana Lottery Company
To all such, a. well as to the great body
Of readers of the AMERICAN, We respect
fully and earnestly urge the careful perusal
Of the following true and timely words
from leading newspaper of this country
The attempt 10 secure charter for the
louisiana Lottery Company from the North
Dakota Legislature has served to bring
that gigantic combination for gambling
prominently before the public. Its exist
ence has long been a disgrace to the state

il work that few are aware of the msgul-
tudc OF its operations. 1t has learned
tiat too much publicity is not good for it.

Our Correspondent Writes Of Women, Lit
erary and Musical.

In my youth was taught to read the
Lewiston Journal, and have never lost in
terest in this popular newspaper, bnt
must confess that within year have felt
greater interest than ever In its issues, be-
cause often could be found therein letter
from that sparkling writer, Kate Van
Twinkle. So many things go TO prove
that distance lends enchantment" that 1t
was with fear and trembling" that
sought the acquaintance of this talented
lady, but it is safe TO affirm that fortunate
are they who know her. She is cordial in
manner. with no appearance of being
spoiled by praise. willing to give words of
encouragement to those who are strug-
Cling to deserve some of the commcnda-
ton so lavishingly bestowed upon her, and
without twinge of jealousy for praise
bestowed upon those who have mounted
higher on the ladder of fame than herself.
The conversation drifted TO Alice and
Phpbe Cary. Those dear sisters" fell
reverentially from Van Twinkle's lips.
Do not think that the art of writing is all
the talent bestowed upon her l am told
by one of her friends that the income she
derives from her musical compositions is
By no means TO be despised, and she plays
the piano "divinely." 1t would be pleas
ant to feel that she wrote because she
could not help il, and not for filthy lucre,'
which, according to Dion Boucicault. is
not flthy-and who does not agree with
him? So If By Twinklipg Miss Nannah
can add to her bank account, | congratu-
late her whether that is the object for
which she writes or not, and with many
others, hope she will continue to Twinkle,
whether 1t be under the pseudonym of Kate
Van Twinkle or the real Kate Nannah
All of those who have read Of the non
partisan temperance convention at Cleve-
land, know of Mrs. Florence c. Porter
who was chosen TO respond to the address
of welcome, and was also appointed TO
have charge of the department of litera-
ture for this society, and one Of the four
organizers, but this is not the only good
work done by Mrs. Porter. Though She is
the wife of Rev. c. w. Porter pastor of
the Congregational church in Oldtown. it
is not only by her husband that She is
known. Mrs. Porter is writer for yar-
Gus papers not only in Maine, but in other
States, and is editor Of The Marguerite, a
temperance sheet published by Aroostook
county bipartisan ". G. T L Mr..
Porter has ALWAYS been an earnest honest.
temperance worker No one viii deny
the great assistance given her in this
work hv her husband who is worker in

In bountlcs, solved the problem. AS

The Senate Pension Bill.

The Senate did well to reject all
amendments to Its dependent pension
bill, The eleventh census, which is
to be taken this summer, provides for
the enumeration OF surviving soldiers,
sailors, and marines, or their widows,
and when that knowledge has been
obtained and made available Congress
will have data upon which to base
pension legislation. Until then no
radical change Of policy should be
made. 1t might involvs great deal
more expense than had been expected
or n great deal less. Leglslating in
the dark is dangerous business.
The bill actually passed by the
Senate is designed to simplify some
what the proving of pension claims.
and to render larger measure of
justice to pensioners without contain
ing any very radical changes. II Is
now Il long time since the war, and
the longer it is the more difficult must
1t he to acquire testimony. Many
witnesses are dead and papers des-
troyed. Procnstination Is the thief
Of time. but time itself is the greatest
OF all thieves. 1t will be necessary
under this bill only to show by COM
petent and sufficient evidence that
dependent parents are without other
means Of support than their own labor
or the contributions Of Others not
legally bound for their support; pro-
yided that all pensions allowed to de-
pendent parents under this act shall
commence from the date OF the tlllng
Of the APPLICATION hereunder, and shall
continue no longer than the existence
Of their dependence. This provision
against back pensions and the con-
tlnuance OF the pension after the ac-
tual dependence has ceased obtain
throughout the blll.
The present allowance to minor
children where the father is dead is
So a month. The bill doubles the
amount, and that is certainly small
enough. The allowance to the vet
ean himself, II dependent, is Slo IA
month. In the case Of widows and
minor children the cause of death,
unless that cause be vicious habit or
the violation OF the laws, civil or
military. The general purpose, in n
word Is TO soften the rigors of the
pension law and secure Improvements

The House ought TO lnisIe conscr-
vatiyc policy.
