The Louisiana Lottery Disgrace

The dlsgraceful spectacle presented
in Louisiana Of the struggle between
the lottery aud ante lottery people
should bring a blush of shame to
the cheek of every citizen of the
country. To us it seems more than
strange that there should be the
least hesitancy on the part OF
the people of Louisiana to forever
crush an enemy 80 dangerous
TO the welfare of their State.
Acquiring it's license to exist
through mcst disgraceful methods
for a quarter of a century the Louisi-
ara State Lottery has debauched
the people aud controlled the poll
tics Of the State, and now through
an amendment to the constitution
it proposes to inflict another twenty
five years of its demoralizing ad-
ministration upon the people OF the
State. For the privilege of carrying
on unmolested its business of whole
sale gambling and robbery, it offers
the enormous consideration Of S31,
100000. The corrupting power of
money has never been so clearly sx-
hibited as in the present fight against
the lottery. BY means of the millions
so dishonesty acquired the lottery
people have succeeded in substituting
yenal press, corrupting courts,
legislators and voters in manner
rejecting most disgracefully upon
the officials of the State. With
such tremendous odds to contend
with it is more than probable that
the outcome Of the struggle will be
against the honest, self-respecting
people of louisiana. That the lot
terry should ever have been allowed
to come into existence was most
unfortunate occurrence; but if after
witnessing its fearfulIy demorali-
zing effects, the people of Louisiana
should SO far debase themselves as
to allow it to continue its work of
ruin, they will stain the fair name
of their State with stain which will
never be removed, but will forever
remain as witness OF their disgrace.

The incoming legislature will be
largely Democratic, which, with a
Democratic Governor, will have all
the responsibility of making new
laws aud repealing those that are
obnoxious. This is a great respon
sIblllty uhich we hope will be fully
and fairly met. The laws govern
ing county governments nted a
thorough revision; the oyster law
badly needs attention; the tax laws
are behind the times, and number
less other laws require a thorough
overhauling. The people viii expect
these things at the hands of the
legislature and We hope they will
not be disappointed

The logic of Tuesdays election
displays two conspicuous facts,
says the Salt Lake Herald. 0oe
of these is that the voters o. the
country are casting away all thought
of independent political action
through third parties, and taking
position according to their prefer
ences, with the two old organiza-
tions, the Republican aud Demo
cratic. The other is that the revs-
nue. question as related to foreign
importations and the policy of ''pro-
lection" is the one living, vital is
sue before the people.
After referring to the decadence
OF the Farmers Alliance party, the
Prohibition party. the Labor party,
and the disintegratien of the Repub-
lican party, the Herald concludes as
follows:
"rhls, then is the chief Demo
cratic battle-cry: Fair trade aud no
fsvors. Equal share in the bene fits
of government for all sections aud
occupations. Free competition.
No combinations OF capital to raise
the price of manufactures and low
er the price of labor. Open mark

duties for revenue only

he Seventh Cavalry-Custer's old regi-

His pension is sufficient to cover his
transportation wherever he goes, and to
,ay for his forage. He is cared for by a
lan detailed for that duty, and who
oes nothing else. He is saddled,
ridled and equipped and led out for in

lie. He has been much sought after by
ntcrprising showmen, but Uncle Sam
ays no.

NAPOLEON'S ENEMY.
The Woman Whom the Emperor Most
Hated.


The woman whom the Emperor Ma
poleon III. hated most on earth has just
died, says the Boston Herald. During
the brilliant days that followed the
coup d'etat, Napoleon made countless
efforts to live on good terms with the
old nobility. There was no limit to the
bribery, cajolery and even threats to
which he resorted in order to induce
them to frequent his brand-new court
The Marquise de Castellane, whose
death is just announced, took the lead
in bidding him defiance. She not only
refused to go toocourt herself, but she
cut any of her acquaintance whom she
knew to meet with favor there, and as
her salon was the most charming in
Paris the chance of being excluded
from it was not to be lightly encoun-
tered The Marquise was grand niece
of Talleyrand, and it was through her
influence that the great diplomat
signed an act of retraction and became
reconciled to the church of Rome
For some years she lived in retirement
but in earlier days she was one of the
most brilliant and powerful of the
grandesdames of Paris.
