tors in the Churches.

ALAMEDA, CAL. Sept. 19.-Joseph
Emer;c, who was arrested on March IA for
keeping gambling house in the rear of a
Park-street cigar-store, was found guilty
this morning by Recorder st. Sure, who
took the case under advisement some
time ago, it having been submitted on
briefs based upon an agreed statement of
facts.
The case was brought under section of
ordinance las of Alameda. The defense
was that draw poker was no crime because
it had been so declared by law, and tn at
the Trustees could not pass an ordinance
making 1t crime without expressed
authority of the Legislature.
I'm order to meet the various devices to
evade the letter of the law" said the Re-
corder in conclusion, "the statutory diff
n1tlons are usually minute, specifying a
great variety OF detail The essential
features OF all, or nearly all, laws against
common gaming in houses consist in
the prohibition of maintaining a place of
shelter In any degree accessible 10 the
only to select or favored few, as place
OF resort for the purpose of gaming. This
hts the case at bar exactly.''

State and the National Guard in the
series of articles he has written for
.'Outing" on THE National Guard of
the State of Maine" Not only has he
written succinct and very interesting
history of the part taken by the Maine
militia down to the present time, but
in SO doing he calls general attention
to the important position this State
occupies in the defense of the country
against foreign invasion. He points
out Names exposure to attack, being
as she is an outpost of the country
having large areas adjacent to a for

foreign communication and girt by Il

Too much attention cannot be given
to the strategic Importance of this
State in time of war with foreign ma
tions. and to the need of national aid
in preparing suitable defensos, also the
NJ ed of maintaining an effective State
militia. Capt. Hall has military
experience, knowledge of the
State and familiarity with its military
equipment and conditions. and the
!. ability to describe those conditions and
needs SO that they may receive the at
tention they deserve. He was a gal
liant representative of the State in the
war and holds high position in the
regular service. He has been instru-
mental. through having been detailed
as inspector of our encampments, in

sense enough to know that sending

necessary for the self preservation of
individual producers, who, under the

instances we believe trusts, of them
selves, have not been a public injury,
but in altogether too many cases they
have been. Some method for dealing
with them will undoubtedly be found,
but Bryan is about the last man to en-
trust with the performance of that
duty. He it was, who was to exter-

with trusts. The great oil trusts have

When William Bryan gets back to
the quiet of his little law shop in Lin
coin with the dread sound of the crash
ing avalanche still ringing in his ears
and the sense of lost physical strength
and of the loss of the patronage of the
silver barons heavy upon him, he can
not find relief in the knowledge that he
fought a good fight and kept the faith
with the people. He cannot escape
remembrance of his desperate efforts
to embitter the minds of men against
their fellow men. He will realize that
in many instances the mischief cannot
be undone, that the prejudices he has
excited, that the false allegations he
has made will still rankle in the minds
of many of those who heard and be-
lieved him. He will have lightened no
mans burden and he will have made
the burdens of thousands heavier to
bear. The demagogue ever has been
and always must be public enemy to
the extent that he INDUCES in dema
goguery and William j. Bryan is no
exception to that rule, nor for that
matter is Arthur Sewall.
