AN lMPOSSlbILITY.
"But don't you think, sir, that poker
would be the queen of all games If this
money question you speak of could be elm
inatedp
THAT is an absolute impossibility, as
have explained. Poker without money
enough at stake to make it worth while soon
becomes tiresome, and would never be
played as the gambling poker is played at
all times and in all parts Of this country.
But even leaving that aside, | despise the
whole idea of poker. Look at it! What
are the qualities which make a successful
poker player2 The ability TO deceive, a cold,
calculating, Indian cunning, which makes a
man hold his dagger behind his back and
pounce down upon an unsuspecting and de-
fenSeless adversary; q brutal skill in
tempting your opponent 60 make a
false step, and then hurting him
over tue preoipice the instant he
has done so. Poker is a game Of cruelty, of
lizards, where the battle is fought fairly on
stimulates the most unlovelY qualities in
the heart of man or woman-reioicng
over the misfortune of another, smiles and
Trowns which mean just the opposite OF
what they seem, and lying from beginning
to end, for what is triumph of poker play
ing but the bluff, and what is bluff but
falsehood? No, sir; | answer your question
without hesitation. Played with money OF
without money, for high stakes or for low
stakes, in the parlor or in the gambling hell,
or under any other conditions you
may imagine, regard the great American
game of poker as something which deserves
TO be classed along with drunkenness as one
OF the great American vices"

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

A bill has been introduced in the
Senate to prohibit the collections OF tolls
on turnpikcs and bridges on Sundays.
The joint legislative commit e, sent
to Eddyyille to report on the proposed
plan to transform the branch prison there
into a House of Reform, has decided
against the scheme.
DIR. Woods should not crack chest
nuts ON the floor OF the House, lest ev-
cry member rise at once to questi of
privilege. There is suspicion abroad
that the Legislature itself is chestnut
that is becoming stale before it has got
ripe. -Louisville Times.
The Legislature is not entitled to
any credit for it's ingenious attempts TO
dodge the new constitution. The new
constitution expresses the will OF the
people, and, as good democrats, the
members ought to bow to the will OF the
people Immediately and not resort to
to enjoy for a little time
longer advantages and perquisiles which
the people do not intend them to have.

SIX !: PAGES.

THERE will be- no war with Chill, even
though the administration has exerted
every effort to stir up one. Almost be-
fore the reading OF his message had
been completed Chill made every con-
cession possible and thus all of the blood
and thunder business, which was to
make the people forget the maladminis-
tration of affairs and the reckless waste
OF the public money, went for naught'
except to those who wanted to profit by
it. There never appeared any good cause
for this great nation to 90 to war with
the South American pigmy Had the
president sent decent man to represent
the United States in that country in
stead of an irresponsible creature OF
doubtful character, there would have
never been any talk OF hostilities even.
The whole trouble lies in the fact that
Eran took sides in the revolution for the
Balmaceda party and attempted to leave
the impression that this country was
backing him in it. The opposing party
succeeded in overthrowing Balmaceda
and his government and it was but nat
ural that the copgressionaIists should
feel unkindly toward him, especially |
since his uIbvcoming acts after tley |
came into power. Egan may have been |
instructed by his superiors to raise a
row and it may be that he was personal
" interested in Balmaceda government
Tor it has developed that Minister Egan's
son is the CHILEAN agent OF the Ameri-
can Construction Company, which has "a
g, SOC, 900 claim against the CHILEAN gov
erEment. A compromise was about to
be made by the Balmaceda regime, but
the present government has not recog-
nized the claim.
IL now seems almost certain that even
before the president had finished fulmi-
mating his thunderbo't, which he fired
ut Congress so savsgaly, he had already
received reply from Chill stating that
she was willing to arbi'rato, apoogizs or
do ANYTHING else the L. :. would de-
mand. Mr. Breckinridge evidently be-
lieved this, for he offered a resolution
requesting the president 10 state when
ii at all, he had received a reply fro m !
Chill and that he communicate 60 the I
House all the correspondence between I
the government Of the United States, i
Is minister 10 Chill and the CHILEAN gov ,
eminent, not communicated to Con- 4
yress with the message before sent in. {
This resolution, after considerable de- /
pate, was referred to the committee on ;
Foreign Affairs. which shonld be made to
ut promptly on it or be forced before the
House. Harrison is evidently playing }
ais hand in the matter for all it is worth e

What are those vessels?" demanded
the doctor of an assistant who always
accompanied him to answer questions.
Sir" was the reply, "those are cara
vels."
The doctors determination was made
in minute.
"Caravel ahoyr' he shouted.
Columbus, who was getting impatient,
made the usual response.
"Any cholera on boardf" demanded
DR.. Jenkins peremptorily.
Columbus replied in the negative.
"Well, you'll have to stay in quaran-
tine anyway" the doctor announced.
In vain Columbus urged the pressing
nature of his business. He had to wait
until Oct 81 before he was enabled to
proceed to the discovery of America.
The fact of Columbus detention in
quarantine may account in a measure
for the confusion in dates.-Detroit Trib-
