The Gamblers Gamer.

Many of the phases of life in the
Tenderloin are kaleidoscope in their
changes, &" said hotel detective, "but
there is one little group of men in this
precinct that is much the same now that
1t was a dozen years ago. l mean the
outside men Of the gambling houses
They are we'll known to all sporting
men, and l could name four or five who
have done little else all their lives. 1t
is their business to know the regular
patrons of faro banks, and if the man
who employs them has been forced to
close up his old place and open a new
one it is their duty to circulate the tip.
"a good outside man spends his time
around hotels and in all night restau-
rants and picks up acquaintance wher-
ever he can. After working up to the
subject OF gambling he invites his new
friend to go around to little place that
is run honestly and safely One of the
best dressed loungers on Broadway,
whose face has long been familiar to
paraders on that street, is a puller in
for gambling house. He was bar
keeper few years ago and there made
a lot of acquaintance who are his stock
In trade. He spends money as freely as
a wine agent, and l have no doubt that
he brings many thousands of dollars to
the man who runs the gambling house. !"

A story is told of Fanny Kemble,
whose favorite summer resort was Len
OK that on her first season there she
employed a self respecting villager, who

make the drive as entertaining as posi-

beauty of the scenery-which she

somewhat peculiar to her, 81 have en-
gagged you to drive for me, sir, and not

The driver ceased talking, pursed up
his lips, and in all their subsequent
drives his only remarks were such as he
found necessary to address to his horses.
At the end of the season he handed in
his bill for the summer services. Run

She paid the bill without comment

A MILLERSBURG VIEW OF THE BANK TAX
CONTROVERSY
From the MiuerSburg Gazette.l

''IF the Paris City Council wants to

cities, and follow long line of proceed.
ences, it should compromise with the
Paris Banks. Ii the Paris CITY
Council thinks that it has no legal right
to compromise, it can put itself on
record as being willing to do such a
thing if it had the power, and then if
any one wishes to enjoin it, or wishes to
take the question TO the Courts on his OF
her own behalf, the Council will have
had the satisfaction of knowing that it
did what it could to bring abuut al
equalization of taxation. 1t is futile t.
look for even d gesture on the part OF
any individual member of that body in
the direction of an illegal act Each is
SO straight-laced; is 80 exact; and, like
John Auricular, who walked in ways
of the Lord perpendicular wouldn't dc
anything that was contrary to the letter
or spirit of the law. When
the Council noted to sue the Banks, the
immortals who do the writing on al
least one Of the Paris papers juhilated
considerably, and wrote that cOngratu-
lations were being strewn around in
prOfiigate profusiOn. They seemed to
regard the action as triumph over q
onbination of corporations that were
seeking to throttle the life out OF a pros.
trate people. Amid the clash OF
cymbRls and the din of drums, Mr.
Ashbrook. like the knightly aud chival.

the Council that he might assist the
City Attorneys in pursuing the van
pushed enemy into its den"
''Not single man, woman, child,
fish, fowl nor devil has arisen in any
other city and set aside the action OF
their council. 1t should be the aim and
attainment OF a city council to foster
and encourage all legitimate CONNER
! cial enterprises. and it is hardly fair to
the Paris people to advertise to the
world that they alone. of all the people
of the state, object to the City Council
pursuing that course. If MIR. O'Brien
will conclude to allow the council to
compromise with the banks, and allow
the public-at-large to do whatever seems
to it expedient under the circumstances.
the growing idea that the Paris banks
are being unjustly treated will be found
to have no foundation in fact"

AT the city council Thursday night
Mr.. William Remington. the hold over
member from the third ward, resigned
and was elected some more. The
council were certainly not sincere in
the assertions set up that Mr.. Reming-
ton was elected for four years. Such
jugglery as this is not calculated to in
crease the confidence of the people i l
the city dads. Mr.. Ashbr0ok's action
in voting to bring a suit tnat he waver-
ed good deal about the justice or
propriety of bringing and accepting a

justly criticised. 1t may be profession

The Right Remedy Will
Danish it Forever.

If you would forever be rid of
the aches and pains, and some
times the fortunes produced by
rheumatism, you must take the
right remedy. Those who con-
tinue to suffer are relying upon
remedies which do not reach their
trouble. The doctors treatment
always consists of potash and
mercury, which only intensity the
disease, causing the joints to stiff
en- and the bones to ache, besides
seriously impairing the digestive
organs.
Rheumatism is disordered state of
the blood, and the only cure for it is a
real blood remedy Swift's Specific IS.

all diseases of the blood, and promptly

Unequal Taxation Driving Cap
ital Away.

Public sentiment among the business
men and taxpayers of the city, which
was at first careless and without inter-
est in the controversy between the
Council and the banks, has turned
strongly towards the banks since the
facts of the case have been recently
made public through the press.
The average man is fair and likes to
see fair play, and doesn't believe that
because bank is bank it has no rights
which are entitled to protection.
The Paris banks have paid all taxes
due from them for 1893-4-5 and g in &C
cordance with decision of the Ken
lucky Court of Appeals. The effort of
the Council to force them to pay more
for those years cannot be justified upon
any grounds of right or equity and it is
to be hoped the Council will see this and
make settlement of the case out of
Court as other cities have done.
1t certainly is not good business nor
for the interest of the city to force any
more of the banks of Paris to reduce
their capital stock. Already $3.50, 000. 90
of capital has been Withdrawn on &C
count of unequal taxation of the banks.
The City cannot afford to force the
withdrawal of any more bank capital.
We presume the city intends to go on as
municipality, mourning debts and
raising revenue to pay them after the
question of bank taxation has been SET
tied. A wise administration of the
affairs of the city would consider the
future as well as the present and in
stead of getting few hundred dollars
more out of the banks now and forcing
them to cut capital 80 "a to
leave but little to tax for
the future would be content with less
now and more for the future.
THE NEWS is confident that the bust
ness men and tax payers of Paris desire
this matter settled by the Council on a
just and fair basis and as other cities
have settled, and that it is not their
wish that Paris alone should hold out
for the last Get and the last drop of
blood which under any pretexr of law
can be wrung out of our banks.

ART OF FAULT-FINDING.

The Phenix Gazette, the lea Ds democratic paper of the territory has the following article anent the political fault-6nders, who are eter nally carping and criticising official: where no cause exists:
 "The art of lt-fnding is one of the most easily acquired, and. IS il costs nothing to criticise our neigh bors, it is often indulged in. The Gazette is not an apologist for any public officer, and will not uphold any man who disregards public duty, but We aim to be fair to public officials, as well as to private indivi- duals. We notice that a few news papers in Arizona indulge in a cheap quality of criticism toward the ter ritorlal administration, but failed in every instance to cite facts to sub stantiate-tha allegations 1T Gov ernor McCord or his administration IS guilty of wrong doing, it is the duty of the press to inform the pub lie of the facts. Yet no newspaper is licensed to villify Governor Me Cord without cause. We have watched the official career of Ari- zona's executive, and We fail to see anything in either his private or public life to justify the assertions of these critics. Every man has his failings. Governor McCord IS hu- man. and is, Of course, like others, liable 10 err; but these sponsors of the public veal, these ref ,rn- CTS who see no good in anyone bu; themselves, need the closet kinl Of watching. ."
