The Blind Tigerites Make Big Blu

The Blind Tigerites Make Big Bluff.
State Revenue Agent Writ Adams
this morning was served with notice
informing him that Evans & Co., of
Tensas parish, had entered suit in the
United States court in this city for $50,
600 damages for unlawful seizure.
The case is based on the fact that
sometime since the revenue agent
seized the blind tiger being run by
Evans & Co., on Parsons island, near
Port Gibson, and broke it up, making
the parties pay State tax.
Evans & Co. now set up that the is
land is in Louisiana. The Official
maps show that it is in Mississippi,
and Mr.. Adams has a letter from the
sheriff of Tensas parish stating that it
was in Mississippi and he had no juris-
diction.
Mr.. Adams thinks it a little bluff
game on the part of Evans q Co., but
he says he will continue to jerk up the
festive sightless beast wherever he
sees him.
The plaintiffs will be represented by
]. M. Gibson, of Vicksburg. The case
will come up at the next term of the
Federal court in this City.-Jackson

The liquor dealers Of Pennsylvania in
their recent state convention passed
strong resolutions condemning intern
perance, etc. The liquor dealers pass
resolutions in favor Of temperance, de-
nounce prohibition and vote the Repub-
lican or Democratic ticket. The churches
pass resolutions for temperance, de-
nounce the saloons and then turn around
and vote the same ticket as the aforesaid
rumsellers. Oh, ye hypocrites

LOTTERY VERSUS LIQUOR.

LOTTERY VERSUS LIQUOR.
The main feature of the antilottery
law just passed by congress is as fol-
lows:
ANY person who shall cause to be brought
within the United States from abroad for the
purpose Of disposing Of the same, or deposited
In or carried by the mails Of the United States,
or carried from any state to another In the
United States any paper, certificate or instru-
ment purporting to be or to represent ticket,
chance, share or interest in or dependent upon
the event Of lottery, 30 called gift concern
or similar enterprise, offering prizes dependents
upon lot or chance, or shall cause any adver-
tisement Of such lottery, SO called gift con-
Germ or similar enterprises offering prizes de-
pendent upon lot or chance. to be brought into
the United States OF deposited In or carried by
the mails Of the United States or transferred
from one state to another In the same shall be
punished in the first offense by imprisonment
for not more than two years or by hne OF not
more than 81, OO0 or both. and in the second and
after offenses by such imprisonment only.
Now it will be in order for every de-
fender of the saloon to raise a howl
against this law on the grounds Of per
sonal liberty" Judging from the so
called arguments made against Prohibi-
tion, the points will be something like
these:
First. can't make man honest
by law.
Second. W Eou can't tell man how he
shall spend his money.
Third. Men will gamble anyway, 80
license the lotteries and get some money
out of them.
Fourth. passage Of such a law
makes every lottery agent a lawbreaker,
and rather than have so many criminals
1t would be better to repeal the law
Mayor Strong's argument for opening
the saloons on Sunday
Fifth. Let the lottery matter be de-
cided on the local option plan-permit-
ting every county to settle the matter for
itself.
Sixth.-Let us have government
control" of the lotteries, selling the
tickets only in books of five and over.
Seventh. ~ Regulate the lotteries
through a system Of Singh license. !"
This would place the business in "rs-
spectacle" hands and therefore would
attract more respectable class Of peo-
pie.
Eighth. Lottery ia not Q political
question, and instead Of prohibiting ths
lotteries it is better to educate men NOT
to gamble It does not take much moral
courage not to buy lottery ticket il II
cannot be bought, does it3
Ninth There is nothing in the Bible
against the lottery business; therefore IL
should not be prohibited.
Tenth. Those who oppose the lottery

The new American Bimetallic or Sill
yer party, proposes to ignore the Ma
tional Bank monopoly and other CAPT
talistic combines, for the same reason
that certain influential leaders of the
Peoples party propose to ignore the
liquor traffic. They fear their antag,
Onism and desire to court their favor.
And any substantial reform by such a
policy, is just as impossible and delu-
sive in the one case as the other.
