BAD AS LOTTERY.

Fond hopes with tinge Of TO-
nance and the prospect of gain Oh
glory seem imperishable. They
live on against reason and argu-
ment, survive shock after shock
and appear sometimes to recover
even from death. The consulates
throughout Holland are just now
sending out in most positive terms
the assurance that all tales of un
claimed wealth held in trust by 6
bank of that country are simply the
myths OF confidence men. Such es
tates, if any there, were escheated
to the Government half a century
ago. The bank named does
not exist. Still the claimants con-
tinue to pay tribute to the bogus
"agents. Now something quite
new and novel and plausible is re-
ported in this line from Washing
ton. A bureau for the registration
of those who once owned slaves il
