Like mother to nourish the towns babyhood

around
As see it once more, and my life is unwound,
With its burdens and sorrows laid by, and seem

THE WESTERN SITUATION.
a Poor Outlook for the Blocks-of-Fivs
ManipuIators.

ManipuIators.
Few republicans believe that Harri-
son will carry New York. Some OF
them talk of their ability to elect him
without New York, but how are they
going to do it? The talk of carrying
West Virginia for him is moonshine, but
even if it were not there is not safe
republican state between Ohio and
Kansas. Many democrats believe that
Ohio will go democratic this year. We
believe, however, that it will not. We
believe that Ohio, California, Oregon,
Maine and Vermont are still safely re-
publican in presidential: years. Ordi-
narily Pennsylvania may be added to
the list, but there is no means of tell
ing anything about what Pennsylvania
will do this year.
Here In the central west the repub-
icans can count ON nothing surely. Ind.
ana is now opposed to Harrison. There
is little doubt that there is now in the
state a plurality of at least 20, coo against
him. The democratic chances Of carry
ing Illinois and Wisconsin are better
than the chances Of the republicans.
Iowa is at least as apt to give its cleo
toral vote to Cleveland as it is to return
to the republican party. The demo-
Gratis will divide the vote Of Michigan,
and in Kansas and Nebraska Harrison
is fighting both the democrats and the
third party people of the farmers alli-
anceS.
Where then do the custom house and
post Office republicans expect to get az
electoral majority? The blocks-of-fve
system cannot be successfully used over
such territory as this when the peo-
pie have been educated to such a knowl-
edge of its workings as they gained
from the Harrison campaign. Of 1888 in
Indiana, and in the absence of such
means of control Harrison is beaten

ment was voted down. and the repub-
Hcans went on record as favoring the
use OF the army and navy at the polls
to control elections in their interest.
Those who remember such chapters
of recent history as this need not pro-
fess surprise that the same plank in
1892 should be interpreted as a demand
for force bill 1t has always been
the policy of the republican party, be-
fore elections, to disguise its conspira-
cies against liberty in general and gen
tie language. But this language has
been fully explained. 1tmeant a force
bill in 1883, and it means the same thing
in 1892.
It was not merely in congress that
this construction of the republican
platform was adopted. In the repub-
Iican state conventions of 1890 resolu-
tions indorsing the bill were passed
The republican convention of Massa-
chusetts declared that the pledges OF
the platform in national conventions
and in many state conventions with
reference to the suppression of suffrage
made it the imperative duty OF every
republican senator and representative
to labor increasingly to place the
measure known as the federal election
bill or some other equally effective
law on the statute book of the nation
Resolutions indorsing the bill were
also passed by republican state conven-
tions in Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas,
Connecticut, Illinois, Michigan, Mis-
souri,, New Hampshire, New York,
North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio,
Rhode Island. South Carolina, South
Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont and prob
ably other states The party is thor
oughly committed to the measure, and
cannot change the record now.-Louis-

CONTEMPORARY COMMENT.

The Illinois repu blican commit

heads of local organizations with the
statement that illinois is in danger

edges the indisputable wickedness OF
the proposed measure by trying to
pooh-pooh it into insigniicance as an
Free Press.

tries that have increased wages and the
fifteen protected industries that have
decreased them are witnesses whose

ANCIENT DICE THROWING.
a Eavorite Form CT Gambling Anon
the Ola Romans.


The number Of dice used was three,
being marked with minimum Of one
and q maximum Of six spots. The
most fortunate throw called venereus
by Cicero (de Dirin., l., 49, and basili-
Gus by Plautus, (Curculio, II. 8. 49,
was when the dice showed three
seniones, Or eighteen spots. The prog
ress OF the game was marked on the
board by the movement of the men
Gatrunculi) backward and forward.
The gravity Of the losses depended
naturally upon the amount Of money
at stake and the fines that were paid
when the dice showed one or more
aces.
1t is difficult TO explain what skill
had to do with such Il game, still Isl
dorus describes how inveterate gamb-
lers could succeed in throwing the six
and in avoiding the unit. I suspect
that this skill was not always iu-
nocent, and that heavy particle Of
lead was perhaps concealed on the side
of the unit. In a grafito at Pompeli an
honest player congratulates himself for
having gained a good sum Of money
without fraud. Plautus dwells some
times on these dishonest practices, to
avoid which several instruments were
invented from time to time, such as the
horn (pyxis cornca) and the fritillus. 1t
seems. however. that these instruments
did rot always fulfill their purpose. A
third one was consequently invented,
in the shape OF tower, with a spiral
staircase inside and a funnel on the
top. The dice SHAKEN first in the horn,
or in the fritii!us- We're thrown into the
funnel and rolled down the spiral
staircase until they landed on the
table. Such precautions rendered cheat
ing almost possible.-Lanciani in
North American Review.
