PROMOTING LOTTERY.

II the Western Union Telegraph Company
can legally receive and deliver Information
of the drawings of 4 Louisville lottery OF
policy den, and thus vitiate United States
law on the ground that the message is ill
terstate business, the sooner that becomes
known the better, and the authorities should
make 4 test case as speedily as possible.
Mr.. Marean, the efficient manager of the
Washington office, and the general man.
agement at New York. as The Times stated
this morning, seem to think their opera
tions are legal That does not finally de-
eide the matter. however, and, to suggest
another phase Of the question, even they
will hardly claim that such business has
a nice moral basis.
Mr.. Marean shrewdly says that clerks
cannot be trusted TO decide what messages
are proper and what are improper, though
he admits that profane or obscene tcle-
grams are not accepted. Clerks are sup
posed to know obscenity or profanity when
they see it, but not a message promoting
more roundly condemned by law than even
obscenity or profanity.
In other words, Information which Con-
gress and the President have declared as
unfit to pass through tho mails, either by
letter, circular or newspaper advertise
ment, may be with impunity sown broad
cast by telegraph company chartered by
the United States and operating under re-
strictions OF United States law. The op-
erations Of such company may be legal,
but they are anomalous and not easily
characterized.

Where He Was At.

A man whose appearance clearly indi-
Gated that he was better acquainted with
rural than with city life stood looking at
the lamppost on the corner of vesey street
and Broadway a few days ago. Calling to
a young man who was walking along the
street, he said:
Hey, mister, can you tell me where
Chestnut street is? I've been looking all
over this section of the town and can't
find the durn street or policeman to tell
me where it is" Then holding up an
envelope, he continued: There's the ad-
dress in the firms Advertisement plain
enough-26O Chestnut street"
The young man recolected that there
was a short street called Chestnut street
over on the East Side, but was sure its
number did Eot go nearly as high as 260
Taking another look at the envelope he
made an interesting discovery, and ex-
claimed:
why, that is 2sO Chestnut street, Phila-
delphia!"
When the man from the country had re-
gained his composure he said:
"Wall, / swowl Eff / hain't come off
with the wrong envelope. Now III have
to go clear back to my home in central
Jersey to get the right one, for h'aint No
more idea where the place want to get to
is than you have" And off toward the
ferry he started.-New York Void.

There is a marvellous amount of unanim-

Cuban patriots in New York. The patriots
from some other oppressed countries who
live among US are often quareisomc when
they come together, but not 80 are the
Cubans. They are. united In their devotion
to Cuba and In their passion for Cuban
liberation. They trust in their leaders,
rally around them and uphold their hands
without ever decrying their policy or find

their honor OF upbraiding them when un-
