THE BUNCO BUSINESS
1t Has Received Severe Setback by
the Police.

1t Has Received Severe Setback by
the Police.
The case of Harry McCloud, charged
with vagrancy, came up in the Police
Court Saturday morning.
officer Talbot testified that he had
known McCloud for two or three years
and he had been perfect nuisance. Nc
Cloud had on many occasions made
propositions to witness to stand in with
him and "head off any roar" and he
would divide whatever he made by ''skin-
ming suckers'' by any of the various
fraudulent games he worked, with wit
ness. He used almost every known
swindling device with which he trapped
the unwary.
Witness had seen him steer suckers
into the Cabinet saloon for others to fleece
them. He is one of the worst ''sure-
thing' men in the city.
officer Higgins swore to substantially
the same facts. He had never known
McCloud to do any work since he has.
known him.
Officers Maley and McManus corrobo-
rated his evidence.
McCloud testified that he was a gam bier
and all-round sport He denied being in
the city at times mentioned by Talbot
and also denied having made any such
propositions as Talbot had stated he did.
In fact he entered general denial of all
the testimony against him. He had come
to the conclusion that he could not do
business with the officers in regard to
conducting any gambling games during
the fair, and would have left the city if he
had not been under bonds TO stay. He
denied having sent ex-officers to Talbot
to square things" SO that he could run
his business here, but would not swear
that he did not.
The court said that it was very clear
case in his opinion, and he found Nc
Cloud guilty and sentenced him to forty
days in the County Jail.
1t is stated that this, with the two con-
victions of DOC" Morgan and Joe Bar
ton the preceding day, are the first con-
vicJions OF bunco men since Jack Dowd
was convicted about fourteen years ago,
and the officers are correspondingly jubi-
liant

IT is tact worth jotting down in our
memory that to tRe young Montenegran,
Nikola Tesla, we are indebted for one Of
the most valuable discoveries in cleo
trical science, and which has been put
into practice in the largest electrical en-
terprise in the world, the great $4,000
horsepower plant operated by the falls
Of Niagara. Tesla in 1883 discovered the
" Rotary Field Motor" At that time
electrical engineers could not understand
its value and beauty. Tesla was poor
and disposed of his right for a small sum,
comparatively. Now, however, the whole
electrical world has awakened to the high
value Of the discovery embodied in the
invention, and it is coming into use and
has been applied at Niagara. So it turns
out that the Montenegran youths great
discovery. the multiphase system, comes
first into use on scale of great magni-
tude in our own country. 1t is also to
our credit that it was the American Insti-
tute of Electrical Engineers which first
gave ear to Tesla when he produced his
invention for explanation. But, on the
other hand, European engineers were the
first to declare the invention practical
and to give it trial and full approval

NOTE AND COMMENT.

The Pacific Progress is the name of a
new monthly publication which has just
appeared in this city, edited by John
Cain. 1t announces that it is designed to
introduce the Eastern man to his West
ern opportunity. 1t is not intended as a
"boom" publication and has for its motto
"No ex"ggeration." Il is neatly printed,
containing eight pages of reading matter
and no advertisements. Its space is
largely devoted to the publication of ex-
tracts from the whole press of the State
regarding the development and material
interests of the different sections.

Inc regulation regarding the floor
cleansing is one that common prudence
commends. Physicians are not the only
ones having the knowledge that great
deal OF disease and human suffering is
due to what the vehicle dust carries. A
catarrhal child, one with tubercu-
Iosls developing, in a school will in spite
OF all precautions. soil the floor, and the
sputum dried and taken up in the dust is
dangerous to all who breathe it, and
breathe it they must if it is allowed by
the sweeping and dust brush practice
to rise and then to settle upon the furni-
ture.
But even if all the persons assem- bled
IN the schoolroom are sound and healthy,
soiling of the floor will go on each day
more or less, and the filth will by the
dust agency enter the mouth and
nostrils of the children if the floors are
elapse between sweeping and school call.
There would seem to be no reason why
some near approach should not be made
in the cleansing and keeping clean of
schoolrooms to the system that obtains
IN the wards of a well regulated hospital.
1t will not cost this city dollar more to
require moist cloths to be used instead of
brooms, and but few dollars more than
at present to have the rooms cleansed
with an antiseptic weekly.
The French are by no means likely to
rush into methods such as these without
having thoroughly considered them, and
having arrived at the judgment that they
are worth their cost and more.

LEssEN1Ne THE INpUcEMENT.

The new French law against anarchists
proceeds upon the theory that publicity
stimulates the love of notoriety which
characterizes the career of all anarchists.
derous acts. So the French law prohibits
publication of the trials of anarchists and
of long accounts of their execution, save
the bare announcement Of the case being
on and of the result and of the penalty
being applied.
The purpose is not to limit the freedom
of the press, but to clip the motive of the
anarchist. What he delights in, says the
New York Times in treating of this SUBJ
ject, sis being the center of public inter-
est and knowing that whole columns are
devoted to him in the newspapers of all
lands, and especially of his own land.
This he finds worth having lived for and
worth dying for. To know that every
impudent expression he may make use
to the examining magistrate or to the
trial Judge will be reported and eagerly
read, and that all his acquaintances and
all his enemies, including pretty much
the whole human race, will learn how his
impudence overcame the fear of death,
this is balm to his bruised spirit"
The trial of every anarchist has proved
this to be the exact statement of the
truth. The inducement to action is there
fore very largely removed when the
possibility of posing in the press in mega
tived. In France, therefore, no more will
the assassin attain the summit of his
hopes, in the knowledge that the report
ers will repeat his defiance of the Judge,
tell of his cool demeanor in court, retail
how he bore himself and how he shouted,
"Vive ranarchiep'
Something of this idea of removing in
ducement has been worked into our sys-
tenn in several States where public execu-
tions are forbidden, and only cold re-
ports of facts of the taking off of MUIR
derer are given to the press.
Should there be further restriction in
the same direction? 1t is positively
known that it is an inducement to mur-
der in this country when the intending
criminal knows that a great fuss will be
made over him in the newspapers: that
his portrait will be given to the public, a
sketch of his life and an account of his
bearing in prison; that bis sayings will
be repeated in print and that when con-
demned his every breath will be watched
and all his words be reported by the sem
sation monger of the newspaper.
That large numbers of men have gone
to the scaffold for love of the momentary
prominence it gave them in the public
eye is undeniable. By our experience in
the United States, therefore, the French
system with the anarchists is justified in
this matter. Those who have treated of
it as limitation upon the freedom of the
press must therefore modify their views.
since it was not for a moment considered
as any assault upon the press, and the
leading French journals now understand
it and give the measure hearty support.
The question the French system sug-
gests to Americans is this: Can we safely
and consistently with the integrity of
American liberties apply like rule to
the trial of anarchists, since under the re-
cent Anti-anarchist Act of Congress we
are likely to have trials of such cattle
with view to their deportationP

and activity on this side Of the globe. 1t
has long been claimed, in generalities, that
It was the center Of literary and scientific

not fully appreciated probably even by the
Washingt ,nians who make them in their
boasts about the present and future of the
