The "ClOek" Game Masquerading
as a Stock Exchange.

From 10 O'clock in the forenoon to 80 in
the afternoon, daily, such of the public who
insist on specializing on inside gambling ar
rangements are afforded in Pauper alley an
opportunity to exchange good hard cash for
large slices Of experience, barter that may
or may not teach them wisdom. This ex-
perience exchange was formerly eouducted
as a pool-room by S. B. Whitehead & Co..
until abolished by much-needed municipal
ordinance.

up over night, marked on the tape and
brought out next day at will. The firm

This is only 25-per-cent charge for the

betting on Eastern races in the pOol-roOms
were heavy enough. but in this new arrange

on the question of government

true solution of the problem" and
he is right, Mr.. Tanner quotes
from H. H. Champion, the great

Gently visited Australia, where the
railroads are operated by the gov:
eminent. +
when any politician wants little
popularity says Mr.. Champion, che
proposes rise of six pence day on the
wages OF some section OF the employees.
No one cares to risk unpopularity by
opposing the suggestion, Deputations

Der to get lines constructed through
their district, SO as to send up the
value of the land; or if line exists, to
obtain a reduction Of freights and fares.
What with increase of working ex-
penditure and decrease in charges.
added to the admitted incompetency of
state administration as compared with
private enterprise, you get a charming
condition OF affairs. In Victoria in the
year 1889 to 1890, 1880 miles of railway
were open for traffic at an expense of
$685. 900 more than the income. You
may put it that there was really loss
OF S4,95O a day. X \ Even if the
money had been well spent, which it
has not, the Colony could not afford it..
Now you will hardly believe it, but the
late Victorian ministry proposed to I'M
dertake further railway construction to
the tune OF twenty million (pounds) Of
money, and it is no exaggeration to say
that nearly all the projected lines were
merely brides to the constituencies
through which they passed. If
the Victorian government were to hand
over their railways to Mr.. Jay Gould.
ne would soon convert that big loss into
surplus, simply by better manage
ment-stopping waste and abolishing
