Trenton. ~ J., Dec. % (SpeciaD.-There is a
painful surprise in store for the friends OF
Monmouth Park. especially for those exuberant
adherents of the unfortunate racecourse who
have been loudly boasting recently that there
would be racing at the track in 1894. Perhaps
they will moderate their confident tone and
stop indulging in roseate predictions when they
learn that the license of Monmouth Park has
been revoked by the Township Committee OF
Eatontown. This was done on August T. and
the fact came out to-day
The friends Of Monmouth Park have been as
serting lately that there surely would be racing
there next year. even II the Legislature should
repeal the racing laws under which the license
was granted The track managers. 1t was said

not take away, and the racing officials would

and the license would not be disturbed by them
and could not be by any one else. How do those
boasts look in view of the facts?
The Township Committee seems to be owned
by itself and by one else. and 1t has taken
away the license which it gave and for which
the fee Of $1,000 has never been paid by the

From the Chillicothe correspondent
of the Brookfeld Mo- Union is gath
cred the fact that Livingston county
farmers have passed resolutions which
point out the true method by which we
may improve our roads and employ our
idle labor, at the same time increasing
our volume of currency. Says the I'm
ions correspondent:
Recently the farmers of this county
held session in our court room and
after an interesting discussion on the
roadquestion passed the following reso-
luton; Resolved, That we favor the
establishment of road department for
the purpose Of constructing and main.

that one million dollars of brand new
United States treasury notes green
backs), in addition TO what is now in
circulation, be appropriated by congress
to each congressional district for this
purpose This is move in the right
direction, and points out the way by
which abundance of money can be
brought into circulation.
kansas City has built within four
years forty-seven miles of macadamized
roads at a cost so the Kansas City Jour
nal states, of about $1,000 per mile. AT
this rate one million dollars would
macadamize five hundred miles in this
district, which would connect every
large town and county seat in it Every
one, young or old, rich or poor is inter-
ested directly or indirectly in the pub
lie roads of his city or county Then
why not have them? There is nothing
in the way but the absurd theory Of the
gold-bug contractionist, who in the in
crease Of the currency of the country
see nothing but ruin and bankruptcy
staring us in the face.
IAN appropriation of 100000 to
each congressional district would only
add about $3.50, 900, 900 toour circulation
"a per capita increase of $500. This
appropriation would be a God-send to
the farming and laboring people, and
the roads would prove a blessing to

THE ANTI-OPTlON BILL.
Option Dealing Is Fully as DemoralIzInI
as Playing Poker or shooting Craps.

Option Dealing Is Fully as DemoralIzIng
as Playing Poker or shooting Craps.
That there should be opposition to
the anti-option bill in the senate is, in
our opinion, an evidence of the decay
of statesmen. Every negro boy that is
found shooting craps" for a penny is
''yanked" up before the criminal court
and fined and usually serves his fine
out in prison. Other sorts Of petty
gambling are punished with great re-
gard for the law Yet option dealing,
which is no less gambling than playing
at cards, goes on in its work of corrupt
ing men without hindrance. We saw it
stated some years ago that there
was ticker" in the national
capitol to facilitate gambling in
grain, etc, by senators and
representatives. Option dealing is the
most corrupting thing on earth to-day.
Through it the partner wrecks the firm,
the clerk bankrupts his employer. The
man fairly well off becomes a bankrupt
in a day. The losses from gambling in
grain and other produce and in rail-
road and other stocks make thieves,
forgers, perjurers, embezzlers and sell
outs out of good men, Wheat will go
up, believes Mr.. Blank He hears of this
man and that getting rich in single
deal. He knows, he thinks, that
wheat will go up. Why not make few
thousand? He invests according TO his
belief. He puts in hundred and wins.
Wheat is still going up he is certain.
Why not make many thousands? He
uses his employers money, but this time
he loses The money he took to use just
day or two he could not replace in
years with his wages His only chance
now is to use more of his employers
money. He saves himself in the next
transaction, but the infatuation OF
gambling has possession Of him and he
deals again with his employers money,
and again, and yet again, until he has
almost bankrupted his employer before
he is found out The public official
deals in options He wakes up some
morning to find himself bankrupt.
His fine house must go His costly fur
niture must be parted with. His
daughter, off at college, must be called
home. His reelection is impossible.
What can he do to avoid the disaster?
Capitalists will help him If he does not
fight them. His constituents are sold
out and his vote goes against his con-
science Option dealing is curse to
the land. Let it be prohibited and let
the people watch those who dare vote
to approve Of this mammoth system Of
gambling Missouri World.
