Pronounced Hopeless, Yet Saved.

From a letter written by Mrs. Ada
E. Hurd of Groton, S. d., we quote !:
"Was taken with bad cold, which
settled on my Lungs, cough set in and
finally terminated in Consumption.
Four doctors gave me up saying I
could live but short time. / gave
myself up to my Saviour, determined

The people Of this parish are much

1t is so burdensome and unequal that

sions in this matter. He aeiN sbe lin
the politics'of this State up to hisneck
in the approaching campaign, but not
to put through his amendment. In
our view that is a false pretense. a
blind to deceive the people. Two con-
siderations are keeping him in the
politics of this State. -
| FIRST, lie intehds to try to capture
the goyernorship and legislature to
obtain an extension of his existing
charter from 1898 to 1895. Secondly,
he must comply with his obligation to
assist those who assisted him in put
ting his amendment through the legis-
lature, an obligation and promise as
we believe, to help them get possession
of the State government. To Our
mind the strenuous effort made to get
the amendment submitted to vote is
perfectly consistent with this view ];
indeed it is quite necessary to the sue
cess of the real programme. What a
powerful inducement in favor of the
lottery is the promise of an annual
revenue to the State of one million
two hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars. Such, largesse is binding, alb
solutely overwhelming in its proper
tions.
1t is but bait set to entrap the
unwary, the credulous voter.
The objective point is the executive
Office and the legislature, we repeat.
The extension of the existing charter
from 1898 to 1895 is within the power
of the legislature, and such an extern
sion is worth to the lottery company
the expenditure of a great deal of
money, because it will only cost a Ii
cense of forty thousand dollars per an
mum, and the business done within
this State alone yields much more than
twenty times that amount annually.
1t has been said often publicly in
the press, and not denied that we
know of that the lottery company has
for several years past been setting
aside large sum to use in securing a
new lease of its exclusive franchise. 1t
is said that this fund is not yet ex-
hausted. If for no better purpose its
will be permitted to help
carry out in a practical way the poll
tical pledges made by the lottery. We
have the word of the Picayune that
all the obligations assumed will be
fulfilled"
We said last week that argument
vas exhausted. We meant that lot
cry arguments were exhausted. The
points made against this lottery pro-
position make food for thought even
or that class of voters who have no
moral or political scruples against IL
lottery companies for revenue.
Here is an objection against the adop-
ion into the constitution of the Nor
is lottery scheme that addresses itself
o the intelligence of every disinterest-
d person be he for Or against lotteries
N general principles. Let the ad-
'ocates of the Morris scheme answer
t. No where except in the guarded
words of the Picayune quoted above
lave we seen it broached as yet in any
ottery newspaper or progressive league
'amphlet. We suggest to our con-
reres of the anti-lottery press through
ut the State to unite with us in de-
handing an answer to this question
low will it be possible for Morris and
lis associates to pay the State this
normous annual stipend, in view of
he fact that the lottery business will
be confined almost entirely
o the State of Louisiana?

When the anti-lottery members of
the legislature wanted to investigate
bribery, the lottery people voted it
down. Why? Because, according to
their moral code, bribery, like lottery
gambling, is not wrong.

1t is striking coincidence that the
lottery bill had just exactly enough
votes in the House of Representatives,
just exactly enough votes in the State
senate and just exactly enough votes
in the Supreme court to carry its point.
We don't think however that it will
succeed in getting exactly enough votes

ARNOLD'S GROVE SELECTED.

Second Brigade Officers Finally Agree ON
the Place of Encampment "A Large
Number of Candidates for Commission
Examined Last Evening.
1t was finally decided yesterday to hold
the Second Brigade encampment this year
at Arnold's Grove. General Wiley
with many of the regimental officers
went out to the grove yesterday
afternoon in a special car on the Allegheny
Valley road. The party numbered about 30
and included the quartermasters. All the
difficulties in the way were adjusted, and
the rent was fixed at an agreea-
Bile price. When the officers re-
turned they were entertained with a
dinner at the Duquesne given by Major
Robert Patterson, of the Fourteenth Regi-
ment. 1t was a very enjoyable affair. Ad-
jutant General McClelland, who happened
to be in the city, was present and made
speech. "a
In the evening the candidates for commits
sion in the regiments were examined by the
board at the Monongahela House, General
present for the first time in several
years. Of the Regimental Colonels,
only Hawkins, of Washington, and
Kreps, of Mercer, were absent. The board
was made up of General Wiley, Captain
James A. Murdoch, recorder, and Colonels
Willis j. Hulings, Norman M. Smith, P,
d. Parchment and Theo Burchfeld. This is
the first time the latter has been
present at an examination, though
he is expected always to be on hand.
There were IA candidates from the Fifteenth
Regiment, four from the Sixteenth and two
from the Eighteenth. Colonel Hulings is
an old school teacher, and the boys are
usually little more nervous when they
face him. He has a habit of asking puz-
zling questions, and he seems to delight in
the f1ounderings of his victims.

Amalgamated Scale Left in the Hands of the
Conference Committee.
The Amalgamated Association adjourned
last night shortly after 8 o'clock. The bust
ness of the session was wound up, officers
elected and the scale placed in the hands of
the conference committee with power to act.
The election of officers occupied the whole
of the afternoon session. President Weihe,
Secretary Madden, Assistant Secretary
Kilgallon and Treasurer Penney were all
reelected without opposition. There was
lively skirmish for trustees. Ed A. Keil,
the present incumbent; John Man
sell, of Youngstown; Jerry Dougherty
and John Pearce, of the Southside, were
the candidates. The contest was a lively
one. Keil was elected on the first ballot,
but, after the voting had continued for some
time, Dougherty withdrew, leaving the
field open for the other two, who were
elected. All of the Vice Presidents, with
the exception of William Whiteman, from
Muncie, Ind, were reelected.
Interest over the scale increases Another
conference will be held this morning. At
fairs seem to have taken turn in regard to
the scale. There are a great many who
think that the nine-hour clause
will be allowed to remain but that
other concessions will be made in order
to even up ON the deal. It was discovered
yesterday that some of those who are the
most bitterly opposed to the nine-hour
clause are men whose mills have been work.
