| tries in Europe to set themselves
directly against gambling. Even these
! have done SO at length, and have
! brought about most startling changes.
| Their action, however, cannot have full
| force as long as Monte Carlo gambling
| fiouriSheS at their very doors. European
| countries cannot say that the United
States should not be the first TO throw
| the stone because licensed gambling
| obtains in Arizoua. The gambling tables
! OF the Arizona bandits chiefly affect
| only few score of cowboys; the tables
| repel rather than attract; the spirit of
| the nation is against them, and they
! must disappear as our civilization
| spreads through the West.
The strangest thing about the Monte
| Carlo establishment is that 1t pays for
| all public improvements in the munich
| pality, pays the prince and all public
| officials. pays the salaries of the bishop
| and the clergy. Here is one OF the ar
ticles of the treaty: "To pay all the
| salaries of the bishop, the clergy and
the judicial dignItaries."
Suppose tine gambling houses Of st.
Paul Gf there be any In it, were to pay
! the salaries of the police and the clergy,
! how long would Christianity last in the
Sanity City? The acceptance of this
blood money by the bishop and clergy,
| in Albert Honore's principality prob
ably comes from their ignorance of the
theology of public ethics. Their
action is only an aggravated
form OF that theological strabsmus
which induces the monks of
Grand Chartreuse to live on the proceeds
of the liqueur made there, or the monks
of the Church of the Three Fountains to
make violent intoxicant from the
juice of the eucalyptus tree, or other
monks in the Allegheny mountains to
earry on brewery. These things are
well-known to the world. But Savon-
arola would not have tolerated them
even if they were not known. They are
only the passing remnants OF state OF
public ethics which obtained when
princes, and not the people, formed the
public minds on questions of external
morality. They cannot continue. But
as long as they do Col. Ingersoll will
make use of them to heap ridicule upon
Christianity.

place. Its proximity to Monte Carlo
has not been an GnmiXed good Tor this
most delightful winter resort. The
ladies have an inveterate grudge against
the place because OF neighboring
monastery within whose sacred pre-
sincts no woman is ever allowed to enter.
Were there no such prohibition the
gentle sex would never Ue so moved by
an unhOly curiosity to sec the inside of
an uninteresting old monastery.
The most distinguished resident of
Nice is Sir Charles Gavin Duffy. What
q remarkable career this rarely gifted
man has had. be first became famous
as rebel against England, and later on
won the highest laurels as primo minis

Dillon and Davis established the Ma
