community. That 1t Justly applies to the
bucket-shop. with its paraphernalia for
unadulterated gambling, there can be rea-
sonable doubt. The bucket-shop Is dis
tinct in methods and purposes from the le-
Ultimate stockholders establishment, and
1t has no more earnest enemies than the
regular operators and proprietors who do
straight business and who realize that
the i'll fame of the bucket-shoD, with its
miscellaneous patronage and questionable
methods, Injuries them in the esteem of the
public. If permitted to flourish without
interference the bucket-shop may easily
develop to the extent of taking the place
of the pool-room and the faro bank. The
object of the law in question is to render
gambling so difficult and dangerous that it
will be reduced to minimum, although it
cannot be hoped that this evil will ever
be wholly eradicated. If, however, the va
rious means Of playing games of chance
at every other street corner, in every sa-
loon. or in the back rooms Of cigar stores,
most readily accessible to every young
man in town. are gradually removed a
great deal will be gained.

Negatiye POliticx.

Governor Altgeld's announcement that he
is not candidate for the Senate gives new
point to curious state of affairs that has
been recently developing. His reasons for
declining the alleged honor of such a can
didacy are sufficient for all men, of what
ever shade of opinion, and show that he is a
statesman of the same sensible stamp as
the present Senator, General Palmer. and the
ex-Postmaster General, Mr. Dickinson. 1t
was only last week that both of these states
men refused high honors, the former de-
Gliding to retire from the Senate at the ex-
p.ration of his present term, and the latter
succeeding after bitter fight in defeating
himself for the nomina ton to be mayor of
Detroit on the democratic ticket. And the
same prudential motives actuated all of
them. In the case of Messrs. Altgeld and
Palmer it is a moral certainty that the next
Senator from Illinois will be a republican,
thanks to the hold-over system in the state
legislature, and both are at present laboring
under the present disadvantage of belong
ing to the opposite party. Nor did Mr. Dick
inson relish the prospect of an unsuccessful
campaign and SO he used every effort to
choke his popularity at such a momentous
crisis The new rule In politics as in some
forms OF warfare seems to be that ''he who
lights and runs away will live to fight some
other day." Perhaps an era of negative
politics is being inaugurated.

The prevailing opinion seems to be that
the forthcoming reply of Lord Salisbury to
the note of Secretary Olney will evade the
real issue rather than declare positively
against the aptness of the Monroe doctrine
in the present dispute. If this be true it
would appear that the British premier has
profted by the strong wave Of national
public sentiment that has swept across this
country from shore to shore and that has
been felt in London. The English journals
are today rejecting this sentiment, show
ing that they are beginning to realize that
the spirit of 1875 Is still abroad here The
Nicaraguan case and the part taken by
Great Britain In the Boring Sea dispute
have tended to promote the anti-English
sentiment In America, and the present CD
portunity for manly declaration of prin-
ciples will not be allowed to slip by without
acceptance il the people of the republic
have the decision. Lord Salisbury would
make grave error If he should bluntly
deny the Jurisdiction of the United States
In the case of the Venezuela boundary
The English trick. which was evidently in
tended to confuse this case with that Of
the Corinto dispute. has been thoroughly
exposed. and the administration, according
to the best belief. stands ready to assert

plant Itself Enthusiastically upon the line of
the Monroe doctrine

A Civil Pension List.

Congress should be able to find little time
next session to take under serious considsra-
ton Pension Commissioner Lochren's recon-
mendation that some moderate provision be
made to aid the clerks disabled by long and
faithful service and who are discharged
when they cannot further perform their
work. There is TO more disabling service
for men of intelligence than that Of the
government and none which requires higher
qualifications of capacity and integrity. The
average ability of government clerks Is ex-
ceptionally high, and the government gets
a great return in conscientious and faithful
performance of duty. While there may be
some serious objections to general civil
pension list that would include all OF the
many thousands of employees. yet there is
every reason why the government should
to a considerable extent afford relief to its
oldest and most faithful servants. OF course
the privilege could not be confined to any
single office or bureau of the government,
but the experiment should be tried in lin
tied way by so restricting the list as to place
a comparatively small number under it's
operations. The readiest limitation and
probably the most just is that of age or
length of service. man who, at the age
of seventy years, has long been faithful,
conscientious clerk in any department Of the
government is surely entitled to very much
the same recognition as the officer OF the
army or navy who. in time Of peace, is re-
tired at the age Of sixty-two or sixry-four
years. Beyond seventy years no man can
be expected to do credit to himself or to his
employers in any capacity, especially one
that makes heavy demands upon his mind.
Twenty years of continuous service In gov
eminent employ will unfit any man. how
ever ruggedly constituted in brain or body,
for any other form of profitable employ .nent,
and the English government long ago found
that it Is economy to abandon he practice
of squeezing it's civil servants dry and then
in their declining years turn them loose
without means and without prospects.

UndoinR n Good Work.

There may be some good reason why the
indictments found against New York's cor
rupt police officers should be dismissed now,
after the time and money spent in uncover
ing their wrong-doing, but no excuse Is
forthcoming as yet to explain why the cases
against four of them were dropped the
other day. The investigation that led to
the accusation and indictment OF these men
was very costly. 1t served a splendid pur-
pose and accomplished Immediate results
for the lasting benefit, 1t Is hoped, of
Americas greatest city. but its value should
not now be put in serious question by any
action that indicates that the disclosures
were made only for political purposes, and
that when they were accomplished the
whole case might gradually be allowed to
slide into oblivion. If these three men who.
have just been relieved of the charges
against them-ex-Captains Doherty and
Donohue and ex-Sergeant McKenna-were
innocent, they should never have been in
dicted. and their release now shows that
the investigation spurred the grand juries
on to unwarranted lengths of zeal. But
that is improbable, especially as the test-
mony was strong against these men. 1t is
more likely that the indictments were
quashed because, in the opinion of the
1"oSe anu u-Seiiet atloi heS' Tic pupHc HIS
been amply served by the prosecutions al
ready had. and that the lesson of the Lex
ow inquiry had been finished. Such a no
ton is false and vicious and Illustrates
only too well the dangerous judicial system
under which New York has suffered all
these years. The lesson of that great prob
ing into the scandals of the metropolis will
never be thoroughly taught until every
man justly accused of wrong-doing has
been brought to trial and punished. Until
then there can be little or no faith in the
lasting results of the investigation.
