Getting No Better.
Especial Correspondence.1
ALBANY, Aug. 14.-The advanced state of
the moral sense of the community of today
as compared with that of other times was
brought to my attention yesterday by the
discovery in some old records that Union
college at Schenectady was founded through
lottery speculation. a little investigation
of the subject shows that in one form or
another most Of the older institutions of
learning in the United States were founded
or received some degree of pecuniary aid
by means of lotteries. Harvard, Yale and
William and Mary were exceptions. 1t was
not at all unusual in the eighteenth century
for churches to raise money by lottery-in-
deed it has been asserted that twothrds of
the church edfces built in the United
States prior to 1905 were indebted to lotteries
for their completion, but that statement is
probably somewhat ovcrCrawn.
In 1910 the commonwealth of Massachu-
setts, the United States failing to do it's
duty in the matter, authorized Il lottery
for the raising of funds to build a light for
the prevention Of shipwrecks on Plymouth
beach, and considerable money was realized
from the sale of tickets for the drawings of

of the latest, if not the latest lottery estab-
lishcd in the northeastern part of the ccun-
try under the sanction of the state.
The founders Of the republic itself early
in the Revolution decided to resort to the
lottery for money to carry on the contest
for freedom. 1t was resolved by the conti-
tinental congress, as the journals will show,
that "a sum of money be raised by way of
lottery for defraying the expenses of the
next campaign, the lottery to be drawn in
Philadelphia On Nov. 1s, l776, it was
decided to issue 100000 tickets, and elabo-
rate resolutions were passed prescribing
the method of selling the tickets and con-
Quoting the drawings. Among other regu-
lations the agents who sold the tickets were
to receive "one-tenth per centum on all the
money" they received.
Just how long this lottery was conducted
or how much money was raised through its
| operation the sncords at hand do not show.

-HE INDEPENDENT, in

THE INDEPENDENT, in
every point that goes to
make up a metropolitan daily of
the highest class, is unexcelled.
Its continued and uninterrupted
popularity for a quarter of CEN
tury has established it firmly in
the hearts of the people of Non
tana. 1t is delivered daily to more
homes in Helena, in proportion
to the population Of the city, than
any other paper in any other city
in the west. 1t is read by nine
tenths of the families in the city.
1t also has great many subscrib-
ers in every city, town and camp
in the state. 1t has the news SER
vice of the Associated Press and
the United Press and also has an
extensive special service by its
own correspondents at all i'm
portant points in Montana. 1t
also uses the best productions of
the high-class syndlcates that fur
nish illustrated and special arti-
cles. THE INDEPENDENT is demo-
cratic in politics, fair and candid
in its treatment Of all political
and economic questions. Its re-
ports of all local and state hap
penings are free from partisan
bias or misrepresentation. Its
politics do not affect its fidelity to
its readers in printing the news.
While THE INDEPENDENT aims
to print all the news it can get,
it prefers to print only pleasant
news, and private brawls and
scandals are handled with care
when they must be printed, and
all Objectionable features reduced
to minimum. 1t is particularly,
therefore, the family paper of
Montana.

ing the city to require the street-railroad
company to improve that portion of the
streets which it occupies. This meas
ure ia quite as important in its way as
the charter amendments. and quite as
much matter of justice to the city and
it's people. 1t simply proposes to give
the city power to do what it cannot do
now, viz, require the street railroad
company to bear its share of improving
the streets of which it has the free use.
The company has never paid cent for
the valuable franchise it enjoys. and has
even defied the city to require it to
stand any part of the cost of street i'm
provements. because it is not so nomi-
mated in the bond. that is, in its charter.
The company has made millions of
money out of its free use of the streets,
and ought to be required to do its share
toward improving them. The Journal
understands there will be a strong lobby
influence brought TO bear to defeat the
pending bill, and hopes to see counter
movement of citizens in favor of it.
The town has been ruled too long by
the street-railroad company.

the first of the propositions amending
the pension laws was considered and de-
feated. The fact, however, has not
been emphasized. The Cleveland PEN
sion-reform scheme was repudiated by
vote Of two to one in Democratic
House. The Southern Democrats. with
few Of mugwump extraction from the
Eastern cities, were all that could be
mustered for the most favorable feat
ure of the Cleveland scheme. The vote
was light, but it showed that practically
all the Representative of the North are
hostile to any change in the pension
laws. This action seems to close the
raid on the pension laws for the pres
ent. The principle of the law of June,
1890. is just. If there have been frauds
perpetrated in its enforcement Mr..
Cleveland's Pension Commissioner can
have a general REORGANIZATION.

THE HAeeARD NATURAL-aAs BILL.

1t is doubtful whether the change
made in the Haggard natural-eas bill
does away with its Objectionable char
acter. AS originally introduced the bill
contained section authorizing the COM
panies to sell aud charge for gas at
meter measurement. This section ex-
cited SO much opposition that it has
been stricken out and Section has been
amended SO that company must dem
ODstrate the inadequacy of its supply of
gas before cutting off any customers.
The section now reads as follows:
Section 8. Whenever the supply of any
natural gas company supplying or fur.
nishing gas to the citizens OF this State ex.
clueively. OF any company. corporation OF
association therein, is inadequate or insult
ticient TO supply all of its customers. the
said gas company shall have the right TO
shut OFT any person or persons. company.
corporation or association or any part or
portion of the territory of the city or town
supplied with gas so long as said emer-
gency or danger eXists-the domestic con-
eumers to he the last of the consumers to
be deprived of the use of natural gas. Pro-
vided, that the company or corporation SO
furnishing natural gas shall give to their
consumers as timely notice as is possible
under the circumstances before shutting
OF any of said consumers. rgs s5qfo.t
This amended section still leaves the
gas companies masters of the situation.
They are left the judges as to when the
supply is inadequate, and they may cut
off any person or persona, company, cor
poration or association, or any part or
portion of the territory of the city or
town supplied by them, whenever they
choose to set up the plea that the sup
ply is inadequate. This, we repeat,
makes the companies masters of the sit
uation and virtually nullifies all exist
ing ordinances and contracts. 1t would
give the company club which it can
hold over the heads of consumers to
compel them to put in meters, pay extra
rates, or anything else the company may
demand under penalty of having their
gas cut off. For, of course, it will al
ways be easy for the company to dem
opstrate that its supply Is failing and
| that economy is necessary. Itcan itself
| produce this condition whenever it de-
sires to. If existing ordinances and
contracts are to be nulliied or modified
the city and consumers should have
something to say about it. The Hag-
| gard bill is still very Objectionable. It
is a one-sided affair and evidently in
tended to give the gas companies big
advantage. Consumers in all the cities
and towns in the gas belt should COM
bine to defeat the bill.

INDIANA SCANDALIZED.

The report of the committee visiting
the Robey race track has made not only
itself but the House, which adopted it
out of courtesy to those making it," the
object of very general ridicule. In
short, the committee has suffered itself
to be made the laughing stock OF all
men who have any knowledge of horse
racing, making it very evident that the
committee was victimized by the Robey
gamblers. as have been hundreds who
have put up their money on the races
and lost. Indeed, there is reason to
suspect that the whitewash was applied
by some attorney of RObey for the com.
mittee. The Chicago News. which can
have no object in misrepresenting
RObey, comments severely upon the
committee and its report. 1t says the
committee 'is curious piece of furni-
ture." The News is surprised at the
statement of q correspondent to the
effect that the WITHDRAWING report, de-
claring that winter racing is less brutal
than summer, and that Robey is sus-
tanned by business men of wealth, twas
adopted by the House out of courtesy to
the committee" And then the News
goes on as follows:
would have been mildly amazed at the
startling information. Then horsemen will
be surprised. judging by comments in the
turf papers and many interviews, TO learn
favor with horse breeders" for the opinion
had prevailed-untll the Indiana legisla-
tive committee discovered the contrary
that winter racing was growing in dis
garded as a species of turf outlawry which
WAS jeOpardlZing the very life of the
sport, and that the leaders of legitimate
racing-as they please to call themselves
were known to be working earnestly in be-
half of anti-winter racing lava in every
State where the nefariOus practice was In
vogue.
After few more comments upon the
committee as uncomplimentary to its in
telligence, the News closes with the
statement that "some legislative COM
mittees have been known to draw most
of their inspiration and lack of infor-
nation from sources that are not credit
able to their virtue" In the face of the
fact that In two States, Illinois and New
jersey, legislatures have outlawed such
racing as is practiced at RObey, the at
tempt of the committee to charge the
evil reports concerning Robey upon
newspapers is very stupid. as well as
very ridiculous. The majority in the
House, as we'll as the majority of the
RObey committee, have scandalized the
people of Indiana, and the former
should lose no time in recalling its ac-
ton regarding the majority report. AS
in other discreditable acts, Speaker
Curtis is largely responsible because of
the manner with which he ignores the
opponents of measures he favors.

FAILURE OF THE RAID ON PENSIONS,

The fact that a subcommittee of the
House committee had reported a num-
Der of amendments to the pension laws
which would have emasculated the act
of June 81, 1890. and otherwise worked
to the disadvantage of pensioners, Gre
ated much uneasiness among pensioners.
1t was announced that the proposed
amendments embraced the changes
which the President-elect, Mr. Cleve-
land, and his advisers proposed, and
that the influence of the new admins
tration would be used to carry them
through the present House. Formonths
the Southern and Eastern Democratic
and mugwump press has been setting
forth the enormity of the pension system
IN order to prepare the public to sustain
the legislation proposed by the House
committee on appropriations. Dnr-
ing the past week the pension appropri-
alton bill was before the House. and. as
was stated in Washington dispatches,

LET Us ANNEX THEM,

The question of annexing the Ha-
waiian islands, which is now fairly be-
fore Congress, presents variety of
questions and some unique features.
The revolution is complete in so far as
the overthrow of the old and the estab-
lishment of the new governm ent is con-
cerned. If the latter does not represent
the wishes of majority of the people
there has been no effort made to show
the contrary. If the late Queen has any
considerable following among or hold
upon the Hawaiian people it has rot
found expression. The commissioners
of the provisional government have
made an offer of the Islands outright to
the United States and asked for annex
alton. A treaty of annexation has been
drafted and sent by the President to the
Senate for it's consideration. The cir
cumstances require prompt action, and
it is probable the matter will be decided
one way or another before March 4.
This is very short time in which to de-
eide matter so important and invOlv-
ing so many questions of foreign and
domestic policy.
The arguments in favor ofand against
annexation have been pretty thoroughly
canvassed. The former are based on
geographical, international and COM
mercial considerations. The location of
trade and the western approaches to the
Nicaragua canal make it of paramount
Importance that we should either own or
practically control them. 1t is abso-
lutely necessary to the protection of
great continental interests that we
should do so. Their value to us in
strategic point of view is not denied by
any person, and is, in fact, indisputable.
1t is admitted on all hands that the
United States could never permit any
islands OF to establish a protectorate or
any kind of controlling influence there.
Yet if we do not that very thing is like
ly to happen. Great Brltain's profess
sions of Indifference are a sham. She
would jump at the chance of acquiring
the islands. She has never omitted an
opportunity to acquire possessions in
any part of the world. She controls
more of the West Indies than any other
country does. and during the last few
years has added several to her already
numerous insular possessions in the Pa
cific. In 1888 she seized the Gilbert
islands. In 1889 she annexed several
bits of land near the Fiji islands, and
the next year some more near Samoa.
which is practically surrounded by her
territory. Three or four hundred miles
due west of Hawaii she has two moro
