AXES UNDER THEIR COATS.

San Francisco Police Garry Them to
Smash tho Doors OF FRn-Tan Dens.
The policemen's sledge hammers and
axes have recently been busy in China
town among the fan-tan gambling.
houses, and the Chinese gamblers are in
q state OF decentralization, says the San
Francisco Examiner. Nothing remains
of twenty gambling dens but a vast
wreck of doors and furniture. Inside
the Mongolians sit most of the time in
gloomy silence, contemplating the
wreclSage about them and occasionally
heaping all Imaginable anathemas upon
the head of Chief Crowley and his men.
This onslaught of the officers has
caused CONSERVATION throughout the
Chinese quarters and what may come of
1t is considered a grave question. The
Chinese hint darlxly at revenge, but on
whom or how it can be wrealed is
not mentioned. Sergt. Gillin and his
squad have made kindling wood of
gambling tables and apparatus and
have chopped down dozens of massive
iron-bolted oak and Australian iron
wood doors. At present they carry
axes under their coats, always ready
for an emergency in case they should
find fan-tan doors closed against them.
But there Is not a game in operation,
according to reports. A tour of inspec-
tion through the gambling alleys and
houses of Chinatown will yield sur
prises, and the strange sights and cum
ming devices met at every turn are in
teresting. Side doors and trap doors,
passages and halls interminable make
the strongest impression, but the po-
hceman's work of destruction is too
striking a reality to be missed. The
doors, although constructed of double
PlanlIing studded with bolts, have been
hewn in parts Or torn from their fasten-
ings by crowbars. All that remains of
the interior furnishings are piles of
broken lumber on the floor. Before
gaining IN entrance into many places
the police had to cut through three of
these barricades. There was never be-
fore such 4 condition of affairs in the
Chinese quarters are now. The Chinese
who conduct these games live and sleep
in back rooms that open on passages
!eading to the gambling-rooms. AS the
policemen will cut down any door
locked against them in the approaches.
all gambling places must be left open
at night as we'll as by day, and the re-
suit is clocks and other portable arti-
clcs have been stolen. The Chinese,
however, arc now keeping watchmcn
on The doors all night long, not as look
outs, bat to protect the property.

THE county tax rate of Camden county,
under its Democratic Board of Freehold
ers, has increased % cents on the 500
over last year. The Dispatch is right
when it says "the taxes in that county
are so outrageously high that the work
ingman is robbed" When the Republl-
cans had control of the Board of Free
holders of that county their salary list ag-
gregated $3645 per year but now, I'M
der the Democratic regime, it has unac-
countably gone up to Sl9520. But such
things often happen under Democratic
rule Theodore b. Gaskill, for instance,
as Steward of the Almshouse, saved Bur-
lngton county Sll, 53S.s7 the first year he
was in office, compared with the expen-
ditures of his Democratic predecessors
last year
If there is defaultlng Republican
official in Camden county. as the Dispatch
alleges, his bondsmen must make good
the shortage. The county will not lose
thereby.
The less the Dispatch says about Cam
den county the better it will be for the
Democratic party. That county, at the
present time, thanks to its Democratic
officials, is enjoying the distinction OF
being one of the most corrupt counties in
the United States. And the worst fea.
ture of it is that the corruption seems to
be with those who should uphold the
law, where moral, and not financial, in
terests are at stake.

in New Jersey this year. The main ques-
ton at stake-the repeal of the race-track

ism of young men. They should rally with
burning zeal to the defense of good morals
and the fair repute of their State. They
should present united and resoute front
to the wicked and repulsive race-track
gangs. 1t is to these young men, lovers
of their country and their State, that the
cause of good morals looks for aid and
support They should not disappoint
these expectations. They should prove
their worthiness as citizens and as patriots
by voting down the defiant and iniqui-
tous horde that has branded the fair fore
head of New Jersey with the word, gam

date for Assembly in the first district,
maintains a silence that is becoming to a
man that knows that if he opened his
mouth he might stick his feet in it and
choke himself to death. 1t is an unhappy
candidate who in this year of grace dare
not rise up among his friends and neigh
bors and say he is ON the side of reform
and good morals. Political oblivion will
soon swallow that man.

THE situation is just this: The issue
before the people of New Jersey is the
question of the repeal of race track gamb-
ling, and any candidate before the people
and seeking votes who fails to make his
purposes on the subject plain and clear,
cannot be trusted, and will not be. James
Bramall, Jr., refuses to pledge himself to
vote for their repeal. The argument is
safe that he not being willing to declare
himself as favorable to the repeal of the
race track gambling laws, he must GER
tainly be for them. There is no other
way out of it.

last appeal to the voters. and among other
reasons given why all of the ticket-ex-

says "The Democratic party absolutely
needs success at this time to preserve its
strength and its foothold." There is an
honest confession. If the Democrats are
defeated this time it will be a blow from
which they will not soon recover. Is
there any plausible reason why Republi-

rotten political organization from burial ?
