ana permitted to take ,9ricl vacation IN
Washington. No doubt Mr.. Harry Gambler,
JiIe convicted gambler, had urgent business
ut the capital, which circumstances have
| prevented him from visiting since the re-
| cent election, and the arguments he used
with Sheriff Palmer were presumably
| pow erful enough to induce the latter to
violate his official obligation and extend
| the freedom Of two cities to a convict.
When the Tweed regime was i'll full blast
in New York this sort of thing was by no
means UNUSUAL, and weird tales are told OF
| The debauChes in which star prisoners
! and their keepers indulSed in resorts about
town. But even then and there no prisoner
was ever escorted from prison 10y the chief
law officer and permitted TO leave the
city for as long as ii suited his pleasure.
That distinction has been conferred upon
the people of Alexandria county by their
sheriff.
Assuming the reports above mentioned to
| be founded upon fact, they go to show that
the law ii biding citizens of that county must
again grid up their loins and begin anew
the old battle against lawlesSneSs and cor
ruption. The most optimistic view of mat
ters over there cannot be said to afford a
great deal of satisfaction so far as the
prosecution and conviction of the Jackson
Citygang of gam blers, thieves and Cuttnruats
is concerned. The moral pestilcnce that
| hovers over that aggregation of .dcns of
! vice and crime appears to have affected the
| whole law machinery of the county. for the
| prosecutions that have followed disclosures
| such as those made by the gambler Nelson
| have been little more than burlesques
1t remains to BE- seen how long the people
| will contain their Souls in patience and al
low this sort of thing to continue. 1t is
possible, of course. that his whole story of
official malfeasancc is all a mistake that
Gambler never left the precincts of the Jail,
and that Sheriff Palmer is model Off
| cial. In that event, there is no cause for
| com plaint. If the contrary, however, the
Law and order League has ample cause
for rene wed and pronounced activity.

Of 1896 yielded only S2,812, 40, at which

then is a loss of SS,0O0,O00 OF import

satisfactory arrangements can be made
the United states should acquire ih the
Sandwich Islands room for a naval and

cable laid from our shores To the island re-
public, and, possibly, be yond that to Japan
