OF the present and proposed future designs.
1t may not be generally known, but
Is fact nevertheless, - that the
head of the Goddess of Liberty
ON the silver dollar is the counterfeit pre-
sentiment of an actually living person, Miss
Annie Harrity, school teacher in Philadel-
pbis. who was selected for. the purpose as
possessing profile considered to be model
of the American type OF beauty. Mr.. Leach
does not approve Of the type as being truly
representative, but he does not see his way
clear to improving 1t. 1t has been suggested
that composite picture OF large series of
TYPES OF American Beauty" be made and
engraved on the coin dies. Mr.. Leach is
said to object to this, as it savors too strong
lyof the cigarette picture business to be
available for national uses. 1t is also sug-
gested to do away altogether with female
loneliness ON the coin of the land, and make
tia picture gallery of great men, a million
dollars or so being stamped with General
Sherman's head, for instance, then few
million more with Admiral Porter's, and SO
on through the list. Mr.. Leach objects to
this, too, because he doubts If men would be
willing to be thus embalmed in the memory
OF all the world while yet alive. Still an
other suggestion, which although 1t does not
strike the director fayorably. seems to con-
tain some good points, is that the faces of
the flight weight" men, who voted for free
silver should be perpetuated, on the dollars
OF their own creation. This appears to be
the only retribution vet suggested that in
any way approaches adequacy, for the part
these Senators took. in attempting to bury
the country knee-deep In silver dollars,
and it should be considered with great care
before being thrown aside as unavailable.

Louisiana and the Lottery.

In yetoing the lottery charter bill Gov,
Nichols of Louisiana spoke very plainly to
the legislature, and very clearly pointed out
the evils that would accrue to the State If this
ubiquitous concern we're permitted to fasten
Itself upon 1t for another twenty-five years.
But his message was treated like the idle
vino, and the bill passed over his veto with
out discussion. This action does not of H.
self extend the charter of the company Int
1t does what no doubt is equivalent, submit
the question to the white voters Of the State
to decide. The colored men are permitted
to have no voice In the matter. No doubt
the renewal Of the company's charter now
means the permanent attachment of the con-
Germ to the state, as long at least as its prof,
lis are sufficient TO enable it to pay to the
State S., 250, 900 year, for the argument that
Is now effective, namely, that the extension
Of the company's charter means considerable
relief to the people from taxation will be
more effective twenty-five years hence, since
then refusal to renew will mean a consider
able increase of taxation. We may conclude
therefore that until there is great revival
Of public morality in Louisiana or an awak-
ening on the part of the masses OF the people
all over the country to the foolishress of
contributing money to this concern for the
very remote chance of drawing fortune, tie
Louisiana lottery is to be with us, unless in
some way 1t can be reached by national or
state legislation. OF course its charter cannot
be annulled for that is beyond the powers of
the national government. Nor can its opera
tions inside the State of Louisiana be inter-
ferred with. But there ought to be some
way to prevent its reaching all over the
land. We are inclined to think
that without any further assistance from the
national government than the exclusion from
the mails of lottery tickets and circulars the
