THE GAMING SPIRIT.

Homilies organizing are usually in
effective, and for every Roland against
gaming~there is nowadays almost al
ways an oliver to be found ready in It's
partial defence. 1t is not long since a
United States senator told the writer
that he asked no better means Of judg-
ing mans character than to sit
awhile in a game of poker with him.
III the man is honest, dishonest, bold,
timorous, reckless, careful, super
stitious, frank, mean, open, crafty, lib
eral, stingy, hopeful or Respondent, it
will all come out in poker" quoth the
senatorial authority. Maybe he was
right, but the worst of that and all
other gaming, is that it throws upon
hazard that which man has only the
right to expect from some productive
effort, and that 1t is essentially demor-
alizing in making the winner believe
that his own lordly skill did it all, while
the loser is just as sure that his mis-
cradle luck alone caused his downfall.
Not one man in a hundred who loses at
cards has any idea that anything but
i'll fortune is to blame, and if he only
plays long enough and loses steadily,
as he is pretty sure to do, it grinds into
his soul the discouraging idea that he
is man of predestined bad luck, bound
to be defeated in whatever he essays.
Therein is the baleful side Of poker-one
Of the finest developed, most subtitle and
engrossing combination Of chance and
skill ever invented. 1t makes its unsuc-
cessful devotees believe that they can
not take their chances on anything in
life; that their wretched luck dogs them
at cards '.just as it does in everything
else" although as matter of fact. the
chronic loser at poker and similar
games often has a lot of undeserved
good fortune in all his other and more
commendable endeavors.
However, with English rectors plav-
ing whist at shilling; and their
bishops at a guinea, a corner, and with
what is perhaps the best daily paper in
New York devoting space frequently in
its Sunday issue to poker explanations
any sermon on gaming isn't going 10
make the Roadway these days it really
ought to make.

THE UURFEW BELL.

Just at present there is much discus
sion in many communities regarding
the cuFfew bell, and the utmost diver
sity Of opinion expressed by their citi-
zens as to the practicability Of it's per-
manent adoption as a part of town or
village government. There is, curious
ly enough, in some localities violent OPP
position to what many good people con-
slider tyranny and limiting of privi-
legs they contemplate as belonging es-
pecially to themselves.
1t is difficult to understand the OBJ
jections that can be logically made
against the custom. It's advocates are
those most anxious for the training of
the young in the lines Of conduct best
adapted to their growth in orderly
habits of living and development into
men and women, who shall in turn be-
come the conservators of the right
principles of. those following them in
the onward march of life. Beyond all
peradventure. the obligation imposed
upon the older members of the human
family toward the younger, is the par
.
1t is easy to discourse feelingly upon
what the young owe to their progeni-
tors and comforting to reflect that such
an indebtedness prevails. None the
less the burden of duty must be per-
formed by the elders in unceasing
watchfulness- over the children whose
lives, happiness and future have been
committed to their care. The rearing
of freemen whose earliest years shall
have been faithfully guarded by their
natural protectors, Is the hope of the
nation.
1t is the hearts desire Of these guar
dams that youth shall be debarred the
knowledge of vice as far as possible,
and they realize deeply that there can
be no peace of mind in old age if the
springs of the soul have been pois-
oned at their fountains, by contact with
wickedness in childhood and careers
that might otherwise have proved cred
liable, embittered by folly.
Education, in the words of expert
ence, is not pouring in" nor drawing
out" but training up" and for this
reason all methods that are improving
in their application to the years of
minority are espoused by the friends of
children today.
One of these is the curfew bell, and
wherever it's use has bsen tested by
experiment, it's effects have been ad-
mirable 1t should be known where
children are in the evening. Eight
o'clock is entirely late enough for
them to be away from home, and it is
no hardship to convey this truth to
their consciousness every "a hours. as
if it had never before been presented
for their acceptance. RI r
Parents and guardians of the young
are bringing up to men and women an
army of terrible critics for time to
come, and it is not possible to fancy
any questions they will not ask of
those upon whom they have the claims
that are theirs by right divine, Then,
let those in authority exert every po-
tent power to lead the young Alright
one most commendable influence will
prove to be curfew bell.

The Grand R$pidg Democrat finds
that the administration has changed its
policy toward Cuba. 1t asserts that
the original intention was to free the
island, and that later President McKin-
ley determined upon annexation, but
that within the past few days he has
decided that an independent govern
ment should be set up and the Cubans
given the. right to govern themselves.
All of this will be news to the presi-
dent, as well as to his friends, who
have know from the first that he had
no thought of annexation, and was led
chiefly by his desire to rid the Cubans
of Spanish rule, and give them chance
to govern themsqlNes. The Democrat
should change it's source Of news and
get in line.

The Sunday Spy is again compelled
to extend its congratulations to its
secular contemporary, The Worcester
Spy. The musical reports and critic
isms of the latter journal during the
past week were of the highest order,
and were worthy the encomiums they
received from Worcester people and
their visiting friends The reports of
the political primaries, and the accurate
foreshadowing of the selection of Gen.
Hoar, were also exceptionally credit
able newspaper achievements. The
Sunday Spy is obliged to admit that its
week day contemporary is getting to be
an admirable journal, and it expects to
have to praise the latter frequently and
sincerely. AJllN

Miles should have grit enough to so
before the investigating committee and
tell his story. If he knows of any
wrong doing on the part of the war de-
partment now is the time to submit
his evidence. He will lose the respect
of those who now support him if he does
not. If the war department has been
to blame, every one who has evidence
to that effect should come forward and
give the facts in their possession. Gen.
Miles is not exempt. If he had the
courage to state so in a newspaper in

Spain has bought $500 bugles of the
pattern used by the American troops
at Santiago, probably with the idea
that the bugle was all there was to the
victory. But even that bugle with its
inspiring music cannot win victories
unless the men whom it calls to arms
are of the same calibre as the Ameri-
cans. Grand as the music is, some
thing more is necessary to duplicate
the attack upon San Juan hill.
