The Game Of Baccarat.

Although the game of baccsrat has
been introduced in this country in q
modified form, it is comparatively
unknown here. 1t is played with the
ordinary playing cards, and is very
simple in its details and freer from
complications than most games at
cards. Any mum Der of players may
participate, and as many packs of
cards may be used as necessary, the
number being increased to CORES
pond with the number of players.
One memb Der of the party IL selected
to act as banker. He deals out the
cards from a boz similar to q cigar
box, after they have been shuffied.
The face cards each count ten, and
the others according to the mum Der OF
| their spots. After the bets have
been made the banker deals two
cards to each of the players, includ-
ing himself, but the other players
must receive their cards before the
banker is served.
The aim of the players Is to make
the numbers 8. 10, 30, or as early those
as possible, as s, Is. %. Any player
is at liberty to either "stand" or be
content" with the two cards first
dealt, or to call for more, at the risk
of exceeding 20, when his stake is
forfeited to the dealer. If, after the
| first distribution of two cards to each,
any player has "natural'-thati is a
sum making 8, or next in value go
he declares 1t wins, and the banker
pays all who hold superior hands to
his own, and claims from those hold
ing inferior hans. The players stake
their money separately, there being,
in fact, as many separate games in
progress as there are players, and the
spectators may wager their money on
any one of them, all Of which must be
accepted by the banker.
The great difficulty to an ordinarily
prudent baccarat player is to know
when to leave off. Even the strong
estminded can scarcely trust their
Judgment in this respect, so ] t may be
readily imagined what sort of chance
any facilitating player has of being
successful at the game.

The Antitrust Law.

New orleans Times Democrat.
Much was hoped for from the Sher.
man antitrust law, passed by the
last Congress which gave the United
States or any person who was injured
by trust the right to appeal to the
United States courts for protection,
andto ask for the punishment of thos 9
engaged in the Objectionable combi-
nation and monopoly.
The law, however, has been
but little utilized, although on
the statute book for some time:
and it was only this week
that the first case under it came up
for decision. This case was in the
United States court at Nashville,
Tenn, being directed against the
coal trust or combination recently
formed there, and into which the
Nashville Coal Exchange, the Ken
lucky mine owners and the Nash
vile coal dealers are said to have en-.
tered.
The preliminary skirmish has re-
suited. we are glad to see, in q victory
for the law, which is pronounced con-
stitutional by the judge, who declare 9
that congress has the undoubte u
right to confer equity jurisdiction up.
on the United States court TO enjoin
contracts and ordinations which are
obnoxious TO the antitrust law, and
who holds that the agreement reach
ed among those interested in coal in
Nashville shows on it's face thai
1t is a com binstion to create a mo-
nopoly in the trade. Accordingly an
injunction has been issued against
the defendants, restraining then
from violating the provisions of the
antitrust law by further carrying Oh
their business under the agreement
or combination they made.
This is decided victory for the
law, and indicates that it can be ut1l
lied to break these trust com binationl
so dangerous an injurious to the pub
lie interest. such weapon against
the trust should be fully utilized, anC
we hope to see the law made thor
oughly effective against every combi
nation which seeks to monopoliz,
business or force up the prices o
necessities for the people.

HABEAS CORPUS MILL.

Astonishing Statistics by District At
torney Witter.
The test case on a Shanghai certificate
was tried yesterday before Commissioner
Houghton, and the Chinese who was so un-
lucky as to hold the "bOughten" evidence
of his birth in this country was remanded.
Assistant District Attorney Wit;er is con-
graduating himself over the outcome. This
will be followed by the immediate refusal
on the part Of the CustOm-house to honor
any consular certificates.
Mr.. Witter has prepared tabulation of
Chinese habeas corpus matters that tells
bad story for the work of the q. ,vernment
officials IN years past. There have been
1858 wis issued since 1882, and of these
0uly 6J9 orders OF Remand have been exc
cuttd. From 1852 o. 1897 there were no re-
mandS, though l744 writS had been Issued.
Since that date The issuance of writs and
order of Temands have been a. follows
1887, writS 1915. remands 100; 1888, writs
1919 demands l5S; 1889. writs 5&5, remands
Of; 1880, wits 1859 demands 1l9; 1891 10
August To- WrtS l4l, remandS 2i2.
Mr.. NItter took charge OF the Chinese
prosecution on the first day of the year.
and though the year is not near Its end he
has secured the execution OF more rpmands
than any predecessor, or twice the number
OF any preceding year. 50 far only one
out Of every twenty-ene Chinese habeas
corpus cases has resulted in an order of
remand.
1t must also be remembered that in the
past Chinese have been enabled to stay in
the country three and four years after order
OF demands have been made, through the
appeals their ShySters have been able to
carry from one tribunal to another until the
court OF last resort be reached. This is not
so easily done now. as the acceptance of
white men ; bonds only keeps many out.

AGAIN POSTPONED.

Judge Wallace has given Stephen T. Gage
a week in which to make up his mind
whether or not to appear before the Grand
July. The consideration which induced the
Judge to grant this postpOnement was
doubtless the expectation that 4 case iHYOIv-
Ing the legality Of the Grand Jury might be
tested in the Supreme Court within that
time. In our opinion the Grand Jury
should continue its work without Interrupt
ton. There is no authority in Judge Muir
phys decision which impaiTs in the least
the authority upon which the Grand Jury
is acting. Chute is set free, but is liable to
arrest and punishment by tile court which
has declared him i'll contempt. The CALL
las already referred TO rumOrS that at a
certain point the movement against hood
lers would fall down. We sincerely hope
that this prediction viii not be realized.
But Judge Wallace was supposed to be SUI
ticiently sure Of his position to continue the
work until checked by a court Of cOmpe-
tent authority. He has been member OF
the Supreme Court himself. and is provided
with its decisions. He had a right al least
to presume that that court would not reverse
itself. 1t may be said that the work MAY
be taken up a week hence in case the Su-
preme Court declares the jury legal. But
delay and hesitation impair public conf
dence. The news that delay was granted
VIII carry more joy to the hearts of the
Canadian tourists than did Mdrphy's deeis-
ion setting Chute free.

WHAT THE BooDLERs WANT.

The Chronicle Is about the only paper in
the State that sustains Judge Murphy's de-
cisiOn in the Chute case. While admitting
that it would have been wiser to have OBJ
tanned decision by the Supreme Court the
Chronicle says:
UPON the other and more Important point,
what is to be done next, there is very general
cOncensus OF opinion that the best Thing is to
discharge The present Grand Jury ana impanel
one in strict accordance with the requirements
of law.
There are number Of people in this city
and also in Canada who would like to see
the present Grand Jury discharged. If men
of this stamp were not opposed to the PIES
ent Grand Jury an argument would be fur
nished why it should be discharged. II is
well known that Judge Wallace resorted to
the elisor method because be believed that
method TO be legal and wanted jury that
could be relied upon TO investigate the
TumOrs that are floating about concerning
the acts of the last Legislature. The dis
charge of the jury at the threshold of the
Investigation would place the bnodlers on
their feet again and in stronger legal posi-
ton than ever. Every unsuccessful effort
made TO bring the law to bear upon the
b0odlers weakens the party that makes Ii.

4 CUNNING DEVICE.

A newspaper contemporary suggests that
We should get rid of the present Grand Jury
and select another ''in strict accordance
with the requirements of law" Its exact
words are as follows:
There Is a very general concensus OF opinion
that The best thing is TO discharge the pI esent
Grand jury and impane one In strict accordance
wItl tie requirements OF law. Such a body
SAYS The public, cOuld and would accomplish all
thai tie present Grand Jury could hope TO 10.
and more TOO, Tor It's tue would he unQues
toned, It's legality uucAauenged and its process
promptly obeyed.
This is very smooth and agreeable Ian
guage, but what it really means is this:
DischaTEe the present Grand Jury, which
the people generally believe has been pretty
fairly constituted, and obtain another, to be
taken from names which have been laced
in the jury-boX in such way thai more or
less unreliable men may be obtained for a
new jury. No d0nbt Judge Wallace realized
that it would be difficult to obtain Grand
Jury, all OF whose memb ers were fit subjects
10 act in that body, for he must have known
that the machinery which managed our afs
fairs has, to a certain extent, controlled the
selection Of juries. Indeed, it has been said
over and over again that there were nearly
always just enough tad men on the panel Of
Grand Juries to hinder the Indictment Of any
boss or any of his henchmen. This, we say,
las teen the common talk, but il has been very
generally believed. Take a jury from such
a collection Of names as has been placed in
the juTy-bOX in the past, and no Indictment
could, in our opinion, be obtained which
would reach a boss or boOdler The hue
and cry Of the brib-rS to obtain a Grand
Jury drawn III strict accordance with the
requirements Of law" means that the wish
Is 10 obtain n jury which, to a certain ex-
tent, VIII be made up of disable material.
The public have confidence in the present
Grand Jury, and they hoTe to see it do its
duty, not permit the boodlers to get up an
ether Grand Jury which viii do nothing
but allow guilty persons to escape.

WHAT Is SAID OF THE CALL.

The following from an editorial is copied
from the Seattle Soundings of Septem Der
26th:
The Chronicle and Examiner may boast of
their enormous Calculations, but so long as

manage that newspaper it will retain its adver-
Using patronage and WELD more power in san
francisco affairs than both of its rivals put to-
Gether.
THE CALL has found heretofore in its

been a single instance which we can bring

hapS that We should not at times have made
mistakes in relation to our duties to the

their patrons as we can say of ours.
