WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEB. 16, IS s

SENATOR HoAR, of Massachusetts, in
troduced bill in Congress yesterday to
prohibit gambling in the Territories OF
the United States. But it is asserted
by men, who have the reputation Of
being reliable, that within three or four
blocks of the Office of the District Com
missioners in Washington, large gam
bling establishments are in full blast
every day of the week, including Sun
day, and that among the attendants are
some members of the board of trade of
that city who couldn't rest until horse
racipg-not pool-selling-was broken
I'D on the race tracks in Alexandria
county. Laws against drinking, gam
bling and incontinence are, and of ne
oessity must be, inefficient, because
they are natural human vices, and COZ
seouently can not be prohibited. They
were born with humanity and will re-
main with it until the end. Reasona'
bic men who understand human ma
rure know this, and they also know that
the best and most effective means OF
restraining and keeping the vices re-
ferred to within moderate limits is 10
nut each and all of them under police
survei lance, and, by license tax, raise
the money with which to pay for the
strict enforcement of police regulations
in respect of that surveillance

AND NOW the new battleship Maine,
one of the most costly vessels in the
Navy, has been wrecked by an acct
dent while lying in the calm waters of
the harbor of Havana. The unneces.
sary and obtrusiye interference of this
government with Spanish affairs in
Cuba has been unfortunate, ipjuri-
GUS and expensive from the first,
and the sooner it is abandoned,
the better for this country as well
as for the people of Cuba, includ-
ing the insurgents. If the ships ex-
plode when passive, sink when lying
at their docks in American ports, and
are disabled by short trips to parade
grounds, to what dangers would their
crews be subjected during the excite
ment of an engagement?
