A Point for Women,

A writer in the Chautauquan gives
description Of How the People are
Counted, and says that women seem
to be better adapted than men to the
nimble working Of managing the ma
chimes used in the Census Office He
quotes from the superintendent Of the
Census as follows: 1.-The average num-
Der counted by the women clerks was
$3.50 families, or 1880 persons, and
by the men clerks 6,5ST families, or
- $50 persons. Thus it will be seen
that the women averaged nearly ONE
hall more than the men, 1t il also
worth noting that Of the forty-three
who counted more than 10000, thirty
eight were women and only i've men.

A WAR AGAINST GAMBLERS.

1t looks as il the list of important
achievements of this administration
would soon include the breaking up of
the Louisiana lottery. A postoffice in
spector who has been in New Orleans
for some time past collecting evidence
against the lottery people for violations
OF the postal law reports that he has
made twenty-five cases against them, in
which the chain of evidence is complete
The president of the lottery company
and several of the local employees have
been held for trial, and their cases will
soon come on in the United States Court.
The inspector says the resources of the
company are already affected to such an
extent that they have scaled down their
prizes One-half, and he thinks if the
government continues to vigorously en-
force the law excluding the lottery from
the use of the mails that they will soon
have to quit business.
This condition has been brought about
without any special noise or parade, and
by the energetic application of methods
for which this administration is becOm-
ing celebrated. Acting on the earnest
recommendation of President Harrison
Congress passed n law excluding lottery
business from the mails. The law be-
ing passed the President directed that it
should be vigorously enforced. Not
every Postmaster-g general would have
brought as much energy and zeal to the
enforcement of such law as Postmas-
ter general Wanamaker did. To organ
ize the forces of the government for an
attack upon the most powerful and per-
nicious gambling organization that has
ever cursed American society was just
to his taste, and when his zeal was sup
plemented By business methods and
energy it meant war to the knife against
the lottery. The result is seen in the
quiet accumulation OF evidence in twen-
ty-tive cases against the company for
violation of the law, in each one of
which the inspector says verdict for
the government is inevitable. If this
kind of warfare is continued the COM
pany will be forced to quit business, no
matter what the vote in Louisiana may
be in regard to an extension of charter.
If the administration succeeds i'm break
ing up this nefarious combine of fraud
and robbery it will deserve n universal
vote of thanks from the people.
