breezy summit of an ofi-looking mountain,

The recent judicial decision in Louisi-
ana should seem to give the lottery new
lease Of life. But it is local lease. The
falling off Of its national business is seen
in the lowered quotations of it's stock in
tine New Orleans exchange, viz: 500 as
against 81 400 previous to the action of
/ congress. Nor can the lottery company
recover its national business without
revsal of the stringent anti lottery leeis-
latiou OF the last congress. 1t is depend
emf Tor that upon the mails and the tele

cannot or will not serve them, the cor

An example worthy OF commentator
and imitation has been setby Archbishop
| Ireland of Minnesota. He has forbidden
anything and everything in the nature of
lottery in connection with the Roman
! catholic churches within his jurisdiction.
In commenting upon this edict, a relig-

sweeping character. 1t makes no excep-
ton. The gambling mania among the
young has undoubtedly and scandalously
| developed by the attractive devices of
church fairs-by chances" and grab
bags, ct id genus Omne 1t
would be well for prOtestants to follow
where the good archbishop leads the way.
