A Deferred Kiss,

Anybody that knows Josiah Smith, son
Of old Josiah Smith, and grandson of old
John Smith, and otherwise related to the
Smith family, knows he ia a good, serious,
prastical sort of man who looks upon all
sides of question before committing him
self to an opinion.
When Mr.. Smith courted his wife 1t took
him several years to make up his mind be-
fore he asked the important question.
Everybody around the house waited and
wondered why he didn't pop and IL he
ever would, but Josiah kept ON the even
tenor of his way, getting we'll acquainted
with Mary and the family before taking
the decisive step.
There was a parrot in the house, a
wicked, evil minded bird, who hated Mt.
Smith on principle, and never said word
In his presence, or at least never did until
but thereby hangs this tale.
Josiah had reached the point in his
courtship where he thought 1t advisable
to take a kiss-not hurried smack of af-
lection or an all devouring osculatory eff
feet, but the prim, proper, moderate kind
of kiss that goes with declaration Of love,
like grace before meat. Taking Mary's
hand he asked her to stand up, as the oc-
casion was solemn one.
1--WE will now indulge In our first kiss"
he said in formal but convincing tone.
mot muchp crosked voice that seemed
to come from the air above their heads.
MARY" said Josiah solemnly, 'if yon
can indulge in such unseemly levity at
such moment we are not suited to one
another"
Poor Mary was struggling with tears Of
disappointment, but before she could ex-
plain matters to her angry sutton he had
taken his hat and left the house.
However, the spinster aunt who owned
the parrot saw him the next day and ex-
planned matters, and Polly had her ears
boxed and was shut up. SO that the next
time Josiah undertook to kiss Mary no
ghostly voice prohibited the rite.-Detroit

stead of twenty-five passengers, the ca
pacity of O car, $50 are often carried in
the course of @ run one way.
The Broadway line carries half as
many passengers as the elevated line
nearest it, When the cable cars are
started--the cable Is already init will
carry nearly as many. Old Jake Sharp
knew he was getting che most valuable
street railway franchise in the world
when he gobbled Broadway. The effort
put him first in Jail and then in his
grave, but if he had lived twenty-five
years it would have made him as rich as
Vanderbilt.
Rapid transit is one of the greatest
problems in New York. There are four
elevated railways and five or six surface
roads running north and south, but at
the busy hours of the day they can't
carry the people in comfort.
Broadway is the center of the rapid
transit problem, as it is of everything
else in New York. The engineers and
members of the rapid transit commits
sion recognized that when they recon-
mended the construction Of an under
ground railway under Broadway from
the Battery to the country. Such a line
may be built some day, but I doubt it.
The cost cannot be accurately esti-
mated, but it is supposed viii reach
s., 000, 900 mile, or $40, 000, 900, includ-
ing branch line from Fourteenth
street to the east side of Central park
SO far capitalists don't appear to want
the contract. The line would have to
carry 100000 passengers day to pay
interest on the investment, and they
have figured it out that this means 1000
full laden trains in each direction in the
twenty-four hours. There being only

is heavy and profitable, it is serious

Tho recent tests OF welding street rail-

The Louisiana Lottery Question.

Shall the charter of the Louisiana Lot
terry Company be renewed? That is the
question which has thrown Louisiana in
to fever of excitement, and the decision
of which affects every state and the Fed
eral Government itself. This huge octo-
pus whose Shiny arms reach out through
every State and territory of the Union,
and enfold thousands, nay, millions OF
men, women and children, was born in
1868. Its charter was granted for period
OF twenty-five years, to expire Dec. 81,
1898. In 1873 the State Legislature repeal
ed the act chartering the Company. The
Company Immediately went to work and
called constitutional convention, which
put the lottery into the State constitution,
recognizing its charter and requiring it to
pay a sum OF money to the State yearly.
In 1890 John A. Morris, chief magnate OF
the company. announced that he would
apply to the legislature for an amend
ment, extending the charter twenty-five
years, for which be would payiS500, 900
yearly, a sum which he has raised to
81, 100000. A number OF the better class
OF citizens Immediately organized the
Anti-Lottery League, started paper, the
Anew Delta" and went to work fighting
the lottery ring with might and main.
The lottery controlled the legislature of
1891, but it could not control Governor
Nichols, who vetoed the bill with words
of denunciation. The bill passed over
his veto, but owing to some techDicalities
was not considered constitutional. How
ever the highest judicial tribunal has de-
cided that charter of this kind comes
under the police power, and no legislature
can tie up succeeding legislature in re-
gard to the matter. So that the lottery is
never safe except so long as it controls the
legislature.
Let us glance for a moment at the prac-
tical working of this great gambling
scheme. There are two classes of draw
ings; the daily drawings take place in one
hundred and eight policy shops in the
city of New Orleans, the receipts of each
of which average S6Oa day; for ten of the
monthly drawings the receipts average
:, ,OOO, 900, and the prizes s1,O54, 800, while
for the two remaining "grand extraordi-
nary drawings" the prizes and receipts
are doubled, putting nearly half the re-
ceipts into the hands of the lottery itself.
The lottery draws ninety three per cent OF
its victims outside of Louisiana. Men,
women and children everywhere. the
wages of the mechanic, laborer and ser
want girl all help to fill its voracious NAV.
It's suppression is a question for the good
or evil of our whole country. Shall we
let it continue? II the State of Louisiana
is not strong enough to put an end to it,
is not the Federal Government?

mend to those editors and peanut politi-
clans who want to stir up strife in the re-
publican party
The republicans of Vermont must be
united in order to poll such a large vote at
the election of State officers in 1892 as to
encourage the party throughout the I'm
ion. 1t was the sweeping majority for the
republican ticket in the state election of
1888 that animated republicans elsewhere
to press on to victory in the national cleo
ton that followed soon after. Attacks
upon the State Republican committee and
its methods may bring discord in the
ranks Every vote cast in 1892 will count
and il big majority is rolled up the COM
mittee and the press must work in har-
mony.
