not. An exchange is seldom made

have a right To demand that circulation

sona investigation by him, in behalf of
the readers of THE CENTURY, into the
history, methods. and designs of a Just
now notorious institution. The title of
the paper is 1.-The Degradation of a
State; or. the Charitable Career of the
Louisiana Lottery" MIR. Buel goes back
on the time when the lottery interests of
the country were conferred in New York
City, and shows that the Louisiana Lot
tery was established for the benefit of
New York gamblers and lottery dealers.
The article describes the people who
have been the chief beneficiaras Of this

poses the methods of bribery and polti-
