The Progressive Age, Of Ruston, con-
taiDs the account of meeting held at
Indian Village, Jackson parish, to OF
ganize an Auti Lottery League. The
resolutions are in the usual strain and
are devoid of interest. The remarkable
feature of the meeting is the list of sign
ers to the roll Of member ship, twenty
eight of whom are uhtte and twenty
five colored. When the thought flashes
across the mind that the folks who are
getting down to the enlistment Of the
brother in black to save the honor
% and the morality {f) of the State, are
the same ones who are trying to excite
prejudice against the lottery by alleging
that Pinchback has an interest in it,
the thing looks devilish queer, and the
average man may be permitted to smile
at the high Eretcnslons or chlyalry, pa
trlotism, morality and consistency, that
such people set up.-Louisiana Review
Houma Courier: The voters of Terre-
bonnie are not likely to forget that the
Lottery franchise of million and
quarter is as good as tax Of six mills
on moro than 20s millions, there being
no commission deducted for collecting
it. They will not forget the load of
parish, state and federal tax that rests
upon all property and the double Ii
cense exacted from all other kinds of
business. They will not despise the
new income which will be no more or
less than just franchise or license op
an inevitable and legal traffic.

WASHINGTON, June 10.-The large
payment for this and last month
leaves a net surplus of s., 900, 900
only in the Treasury This is the
smallest surplus we have had within
the memory of the oldest official in
that Department.. The billion-dollar
Congress. in whie h it must be remem-
bercd there was a large republican
majority, will have Il great deal to
answer for when the campaign of
'92 opens. The people will stand
wildcat legislation with great
patience, but when tinEerers touch
their pockets, they call n halt.
The Democrats of the incoming
Congress have an opportunity before
them next winter which they aught
not to fail to improve. The Repub-
licans in the late Congress were SO
reckless or SO ignorant of the rudi-
ments of finance, that they nearly
precipitated crisis last spring and
winter. Money has been much easier
since Congress adjourned in all the
great business centres. The Demo-
Gratis of the incoming Congress ought
to make "honesty and economy"
their watchword. tits a slogan which
will take much better with the people
than all the theories Of the Farmers
Alliance, the Third Party, or any
other combination that can be form
ed. =
The Secretary Of the Treasury has
called upon a number of national
bank repositories to transfer to the
sub treasury apOrtion ofthe amount
ofpublic moneys held by them and
not needed for the transaction of
public business. Those banks, which
are mostly what is known as ''sur-
plus' banks, had been notified by the
late Secretary Window and had pre-
viously transferred the amount of
two calls made by him. The amount
to be transferred on or before June
30, 1891, under this call is about
So 100000.

The elegant parlors, corridors and

WILSON NOT GUILTY,
THE VERDICT is AGAINST CUM
MINGS.
The Princes Name Mixed Up With
Lady BroOke-Is the Princess Jeal-
ons?-Chinese Outrage-Other News

LONDON, June 9th.-The jury in
of not guilty this a. m. This verdict
Is against Cummings who brought
the suit against Wilson for SANDER.
The case has been one of intense
interest and is not yet finish
ed. The fair sex are said to be in
it. A London cor. says: To what
extent is one or more Of the fairer
sex back of the royal scandal that
has resulted in the Gordon Cum ming
suit now on trialP This is a ques
ton which is being pretty largely
discussed by the frequenters of the
aristocratic clubs, although they talk
of the matter under their breath. 1t
is said that there is a story that has
not developed, nor is it likely to.
There may be secret history, the
bare allusion to which on the part of
Solicitor General Clarke when the
heir apparent to the English throne
was on the witness stand might have
sounded the social, political and pro-
fessional death-knell of that eminent
counsel.
Giving another turn to the lance,
MT. OidTho might nave lHQuiFeu
whether it was true that the princess
of Wales was SO outraged by the
attentions of her husband toward
Lady Brooke that she had time and
time again refused to participate In
public and private assemblages where
she was likely to meet the woman in
question. Not only this, but bat
she had made it rule to socially
ostracize all her friends who allowed
the Brooke woman to cross their
thresholds.
