bling in it's very nature makes men
utterly mean, dishonesty selfish and
inconsiderate. The putting an end to
such would Of course attack the very
means Of existence Of men who, as to the
largest number, are quite unnecessary to
the conduct of legitimate buying and
selling, men who live on the misfortunes
Of others. Every loss made by rise or
fall in values is enhanced to the loser by
the commissions to speculative and spec
ulating brokers. No man makes profit
that is not anOther's loss. 10 the exis-
tence Of this system Of gambling is due
hourly heart breakings, scattered fsmi-
lies, early widows and fatherless chill
dren, happy homes rendered miserable,
poor-house and penitentlsry inmates pro-
vided; suicide, crime, ruin, are the ever
attendant spectres which shadow the VIC
TINS Of this immortal system whose
agents have earned the title of "vam'
pires.
If, however, the present system is SO
entrenched that the anti-option bill
should fail to become law, is there not a
remedy availsbleP And, indeed, should
that bill PASS. and the threats Of specu-
lators to manipulate prices more than at
present to their own advantages result
would not the same remedy be appli-
cable, viz: the creation of state bsnksT
With liberal charters and grants, they
could advance a defined value against
produce; their notes would circulate
freely in the states, and the produce
could be realized sdvsntsgeously and
with some real relation to the law oi
supply and demand. Such institutions
would not be long ere they attracted tc
them capital and deposits in large
amounts, even if obtained only from that
share of the produce which now is
directed to the spectators and their en-
ploye brokers.
The second argument mainly used ii
calculated to arouse the spirit Of lnde
pendence and state sovereignty. Bu'
seriously, will it bear examination? II
is true the imposition Of freedom OF the
colored race throughout the union caused

would encounter sectional opposition

PR0nuCE GAMBLTNG.

against attempted legislation toput down
gambling in products. The first is that
the anti-option bill would not realize
any benefit to producers in the shape OF
better prices or stesdier values. The
next is that the bill proposed is-unconsti-
tutionsl, inasmuch as it would interfere
with states rights and sovereign control
in respect Of their commerce, and also
the rights Of individuals as to CONNER
cial contracts. Let us briefly examine
these arguments.
ia support Of the first, it is claimed
that large spectators and capitalists
would buy up the grain or cotton at
such prices as they might in combina-
tions dictate, and that they could sell
the same again, when and at such prices
as they might agree upon, leaving the
producer and consumer both at their
mercy. This argument may be met by
stating that while such monopolies are
familiar now--as in the case Of coffee
grain and cotton, especially the former,
are too much OF q necessity to be sub
iected to similar operations. The fact
that these products are in hourly neces-
sary consumption would quicken compe-
tition amongst millers sndmanufacturers,
and they would secure on equitable
terms such produce as their requirments
called for. Again, were such combira-
tions attempted in q free market, there
would always operate the uncertain fea-
ture Of foreign products, which opera
tion is so large factor in the value at all
times Of the American grain and cotton
produce, so large q portion Of which
finds, necessarily, q foreign market.
The pressure Of this first argument so
prominently to the front by the advo-
Gates Of the present system is itself sus-
picious, for their objection to the
anti-option legislation is, we suppose,
generally presumed to be that it would
do away with the army Of speculstors in
and manipulators Of the markets for the
products involved 1--WE are not especially
concerned in those gambling in stocks
Of corporations, ETC., which would also
be affected by the proposed legislation,
and these persons ground their objection
to it on the fact that the change would
give them greater control over the prices.
How magnanimousl How thoroughly in
accord with the spirit Of the second ar
gument. They object to the change be-
cause it would give them greater
facilities for gain than the present sys-
tenn affords, hence they wish to be kept
within it's bondsl How strange that sim
pie common people suspect the genuine
ness Of their opposition to anti options.
Let us assume, however, that such
effect as is suggested would follow, then
there is given at once powerful argu'
ment in favor of the sub-treasury plan.
We are not ignorant Of the fact that
farmers generally rush their crops on the
market at the earliest moment possible,
and are consequently playing into the
hands Of unscrupulous speculators, and
must admit that some persons are indis
pensable who will buy, pay for and hold
the produce to be delivered to the man.
ufacturers for preparation and distribu-
tion. Such persons should be capable Of
making fair gain upon the transactions,
for use of money, time and risk. But we
say that the present system tends by it's

Such Vessels "a the Campania Must OF
Necessity BE Strong.
A ship that can make a voyage to

earn fifty-two freights in the year, in
stead Of twenty-six of the boats of
twenty years ago, says the Saturday
Review. The crew costs no more, if
the coal does, and the earnings are
double. But there is yet another view
of the matter. The late Sir William
Pearce, who began these fast boats by
the building of the Arizona, and whose
successors at Fairfield have built the
Campania, once asked friend, whose
imagination reeled at the idea of a
twenty-five knot boat, whether he
would not prefer to go down in fast
boat in preference to meeting an
ignominous death in an ocean tramp.
The humor of the sentiment lies in the
fact that it is the ocean tramp that al
ways goes down in the case of coll
hsion, and it is the fast boat that sends
the tramp down. Parliamentary hui
manitarians should see TO this Surely
their reckless ingenuity is equal to the
discovery of some way of preventing
people from choosing their mode of
drowning. Those who know most
about boats know that the safe boat is
the fast boat, because the fast boat
must of necessity be strong. The fast
and strong boat never waits for tthe
waves to hustle and buffet it: it goes
through them. Once in awhile, il is true.
an equinox may contrive gale that will
trouble even the Campania, but wave
requires time to gather itself together
and spend its strength, and fast
boat of the right build does not wait
There are. of course, fast fair-weather
boats, designed to make record pas

OUCAl OCUIISTS,
Carl Theodor, of Bavaria. Is Ably As

Duke Carl Theodor, Of Bavaria, Is a
most charitable man and an extremely
clever oculist- He has three hospitals
for persons suffering from disease OF
the eves-one at Meran. one on the
Tegernsee, where he passes most Of
his time, and one at Munich. He
makes no charge for poor patients. but
at the door there is a box into which
those who can afford it are expected
to place contributions for the good of
the poor OF the place. The duke, who
is general in the Bavarian army. was
born in 1889. and is brother OF the
empress OF Austria. In 1874 he mar
ried as his second wife Princess Maria
Josepha, of Bragauza, who assists him
in his charitable work. His eldest
daughter by the second marriage IS
Duchess Sophie. who was born in
February, 1875. She has inherited her
fathers skill, and IS his principal as
sistsnt N his work as an oculist- The
duke always enters his consulting
room by seven o'clock in the morning,
and the Young duchess takes her share
in soothing the sufferers and enters
with enthusiasm into the charitable
work As an example q the dukes

NEW YORK POINT.

The Braille system takes its name
from its inventor. Louis Braille, a
blind teacher in the school at Paris.
He was not the inventor of point
system, however. Charles Barber, an
officer in the French army, devised the
first point system. The cell, as we
term it, contained twelve points, in
two rows of six each. The letters be
ing six doris long, the finger could not
cover them all at single touch. Nc
practical use was ever made of the
system, but it gave the talented BraiIle
the idea upon which he founded the
system that bears his name, and
through which so much has been done
for the advancement OF the blind

be such an inestimable boon TO the

Among the early workers in America
the name of Samuel G. Howe stands
prominently first. His services in be-
half OF the blind in this country have
been of inestimable value. His name
is inseparably linked with the educa-
ton Of the blind, and TO him modern
educators of the blind ascribe great
honor. From the time of his return
from Greece in 1882 10 his death in
1875 he was indefatigable and unre-
lenting in his studious and paiustaking
devotion to the cause of the sightless
unfortunates. After a tour among
the best institutions for the blind in
Europe he began in 1884 to print books

HowE's LOWER CASE LETTERS


in what was once popular system in
this country, the Boston type" In
the invention of this type Mr.. Howe ig-
nored capital letters and devised sys-
tenn of slightly modified lower case
letters.
These various systems of line type,
however, have become obsolete in
nearly all the leading institutions of
the world, the point system" having
superseded it because OF its more per-
feet adaptation to the sense Of touch
anG by reason of its easy adjustability
to all forms of writing, including mu-
steal notation and the expression of
mathema teal calculations. There are
two forms of point" systems now in
general use, the ''Braille" and the
New York point" Between the adj
vocates of these systems there has
been constant and at times bitter con-
tention. 1t is not the purpose of this
paper to enter into this controversy or
to discuss in any way the relative mer-
its of the two systems. Suffice it to say
that there appears at this time to be
preponderance of evidence in favor
of the Braiile system. although it is a
fact that for the past twelve years
most of the embossed printing done in
this country has been done by the
American printing house for the
blind at Louisville, which receives an
annual subsidy of $4,000 from con-
gress and which uses the New York
point" 1t is fact, however, that
large proportion of the educators of
the blind in our leading state institu-
tons express decided preference for
the Braille and emphasize their prefer
ence by teaching it almost exclusively.
Nevertheless it must be candidly adj
mitted that the New York point" has
many enthusiastic adherents who cling
to it with a tenacity born of the con-
viction that it is the more practical
system.
To enable those who read by the
sense of sight to form their own ideas
