Policy and Its Attractions.

Elsewhere THE NEWS publishes to-
day another article on the crying sin
of Jersey City-policy or lottery
gambling. OF course the devotees Of
the game do not need to be told of its
destinations, but it is difficult for those
who do not know its workings to UNI
derstand the hold it gets on certain
classes of people. There are very
few persons in Jersey City-eertainly
none among the readers of THE NEWS
who do not know that policy exists
in this city, but many do not know
why.
The News will tell them. One of
the especial attractions OF the game is
its cheapness. Any one who desires
can go into the game. A very limited
capital will suffice. Five cents is
enough-in fact, in the lowest dens
two cent plays will be taken. 1t is
thus within the reach of ALL" Gus
tom in Jersey City has put it within
easy reach. On the other hand the
gains are out of all proportion to the
amount risked. Five cents invested
on a ''gig"-though why the play
should be thus vehicularly entitled
no one seems to know-will bring a
return of $5. That is, if the gig is out.
If it isn't, the player is. But only the
trifle of five cents-not the price of IL
drink even, except at the bucket"
shops. Now this ONE nearer to get
ting something for nothing than any
other form Of speculation that has
ever been devised. The vast dispro-
portion of the chances against success
are lost sight OF i'll the great possible
gains of the hazard. This is why
policy is popular, and particularly
why it is popular among the poor.
The temptation to get IS for five cents
is too strong to be resisted. 1t is to
be feared that there are even rich men
in the community who would yield to
it if some one were to give them "a
straight tip"
But it is because the game so
strongly appeals to poverty that it is
dangerous to a community. The poor
cannot afford to squander a cent, yet
many have been kno wn to deprive
themselves OF clothing and ever food
in their insatiate gambling greed. 1t
is for the protection of these people,
who cannot or will not protect them
selves, that THE NEWS has embarked
upon a crusade against the game. 1t
believes that the public is with it
The respectable public element. at all
events. And that is all it cares for.

That Funny Mayoralty Bill.


That Mayoralty bill of Mr.. Nieder's
is one OF the funniest pieces of legis-
lation we have ever seen proposed.
The preamble is an exquisite bit OF
pleasantly. Its illusions to the mex
perience of Mayor Haynes and Mayor
Cleveland are the most laughable jests
of the day.
Let us see, how long has Mr.. Cleve-
land been in office? About six years,
years, we believe. And Mayor
Haynes? Something over eight. How
very inexperienced!
What is the use of such phariseeism
and hypocrisy? Does Mr.. Nieder sup
pose the public are a flock of fools to
be imposed upon by such nonsenseS

THERE seems to be a sort of ar
rangement between the Hudson and
Essex members of the Legislature by
which, when Hudson wants some
thing crooked done, an Essex men,
Der fights it through; when Essex
wants something, Hudson makes the
struggle. 1t is a good way to befog
che matter of responsibility, at least
until people understand the system.

What is ScrofuIa

1t is that impurity in the blood, which, accumu-
Eating in the glands of tho neck, produces IN
slightly Jumps or swollings; which causes painful
running sores on the arms, legs, or feet; which
developes ulcers in the eyes, ears, or nose, often
causing blindness or deafness; which is the origin
of pimples, cancerous growths, or many other
manifestations usually ascribcd to " humors."
1t is a more formidable enemy than consumption
or cancer alone, for ~scrofula combines the wo-Ss
possible features of both. Being the most ancient,
tits the most general OF all diseases or affections
for very few persons are entirely free from it.
How can it be cured? By taking Hoods Sarsat
parilla, which, by the cures it has accomplished,
often when other medicines have failed, has
proven itself to be a potent and peculiar medicine
for this disease. For all affections of tho blood
Hoods Sarsaparilla is unequaled, and some OF the
cures it has effected are really wonderful. Ii you
suffer from ~scrofula in any of its various forms.
be sure to give Hoods Sarsaparilla q trial

Skating on a Church Piazza.

'The better the day, the better the
deed" says an old proverb. Travers-
ing this theory, several Young misses
OF the Old Bergen district seem to
have concluded that it may also mean
that the better the place the better
the speed. At all events, they select
ed the broad and roomy piazza of the
Old Bergen Reformed Church as a
practising ground for roller skate
exercises. 1t was a novel and(some-
what refreshing sight to see them.
But what queer ideas of religion girls
must have who do this sort of thing.
Perhaps they have invented a new
tangled Heaven of their own which is
to be an immense skating pond, and
where wings will be at a discount and
skates at a premium.
If the Swedenborgian theory is true
there must, of course, be spiritual
skating ponds somewhere, and equally
of course they must be in Heaven.
The other place is too hot for the sue
cessful cultivation of ice, ever with
the best ice-machines yet invented.
