THE GAMBLING EVIL.

The Morning News has published
great many interviews with officials and
citizens on the gambling evil since the
grand jury took the matter up, and has
treated the subject editorially. The min
listers of the different churches have spok-
en- strongly In condemnation of the evil
and their sermons have been published.
Is it not time for citizens to do something
il they feel any interest In the matter?
From the interviews which have been
published it Is evident that there are two
ways in which gambling and the policy
business can be stopped. One is for the
judges to substitute the chain-gang for
fines, and the other is for the City Coun-
ell to enact an anti-gambling ordinance.
If the people are taking an interest in
this matter let them get up a petition to
the judges, asking that after due warn
ing ali persons convicted of violating the
laws against gambling and the policy
business be imprisoned or sent to the
chain-gang, and petition to the city
council in favor of an ordinance against
gambling and policy playing. and making
il the duty of the police to close up all
places where gambling of any character
is carried on.
We have no doubt that such petitions
would be given careful consideration. 1t
is apparent that unless the people intend
to take some action nothing will be ef-
fected by the course that is now being
pursued. There has been plenty of talk.
The time has come for some sort of ac-
ton. The newspapers and the ministers
have done their part. Is it not about time
that people who are interested in this mat
ter did something?

IF Prince Hohenlohe retires from the

succeeded Moltke as chief of the grand
general staff, and now commands the
Ninth (Schleswig-H olstein) Army crops,
with the certain prospectus the Emperor
publicly promised him on going to Altoona
of commanding a whole army in the
event of war. It was well-known at the
time that Count Waldersee left the general
staff that he cherished the ambition TO
succeed Bismarck and indeed, his inter-
ference in politics was one of the causes
which then made for his removal from
Berlin.

A HUGE TRUST.

Gov. Sayers of Texas will have to hurry
up his convention against trusts or else
trusts will have such a grip on the vari-
Gus kinds of business that it will be prac-
tically impossible to make Roadway
against them. The announcement is made
that trust is in process of formation
in comparison with which all other trusts
will be only baby combinations This
trust, it is said, will include all the troll
ley lines in the world except JAPAN in
which country transportation lines are
under the supervision of the imperial gov
eminent.
1t is reported that the preliminary steps
have been already taken to get control of
the lines in this country and other coun-
tries If the trust should be formed il
might well be designated an elephantine
trust since it is not probable that it
would be exceeded in the amount of money
invested in it by any other trust. Some
of the street car magnates of New York
and delphia-William c. Whitney, w.
L. Elkins and p. A. B. Widener-are men,
toned in connection with it. One of the
projectors of the scheme is to start for
London on Oct l to interest European
capitalists in it. One of the things the
trust proposes TO do is TO literally grid
iron the empire of China with trolley
roads. China being a thickly settled coun-
try. it is thought that trolley lines would
pay enormous dividends there.
If all the trolley roads of the world can
be successfully handled under one man
agement what is to hinder the CONSOLE
dation of other businesses or on
terprises on the same gigantic scale?
What seem to be big trusts now may come
to be only minor affairs in the very near
future
1t is evident that the promoters of trusts
are not showing any alarm at the steps
that are being taken to put an end to
trusts. They are going right ahead per-
fecting their schemes just as If they had
secured the right of way and everybody
was applauding their undertaking. 1t
may turn out that they are making a
mistake, and that the victims of trusts.
the people. viii have something TO say
that will make radical change in the

Cot refused to Die.

Students of one of the big universities in
this city have a cat that has utterly re-
fused to become a martyr to science, says
the Chicago Times Herald. Its history is
another instance of the refining and elevat-
ing influence of science.
Prof Blank asked ]. P. Morgan the jan
itor, to get cat for him, as he wished TO
illustrate his lecture on Respiration" by
experiments upon the animal. Mr.. Morgan
succeeded in getting one with the aid OF
some small boys. When his students had
assembled the professor put the cat into
the glass receiver of the air pump and be-
gan to pump out the air. Before the pis-
ton had time to move more than once or
twice the cat began 10 feel very uncom-
Portable, and, discovering the aperture
through which the air was escaping, put
her foot on it and thus corked the pipe and
stopped the removal of the air,
Several subsequent attempts to carry on
the experiments were alike Intellectual, for
as soon as the glass cover was put over
her and she felt the removal of the air the
cat would put her feet over the pipe ana
keep them pressed there
The students, struck by the remarkab BILE
intelligence shown by the cat, asked the
professor to liberate the animal, and loudly
cheered her self-possession when the cat
after coolly cleaning herself and smoothing
her ruffled fur jumped down and rubbed
against the legs of the students sitting
on the front bench. She is now perma
nently annexed to the college and an OBJ
iect of interest to all visitors.

THE TRANsVAAL OUTLOOK.

For weeks the newspapers have been
flied with sensational dispatches from
London and Pretoria predicting immediate
war between the British and the Beers
War has not yet begun and there APP
pear to be pretty good reasons for think
ing that It will not begin. Some way
will be found to avoid it, Besides, the
Queen is against it, and her influence

After all, it begins 10 look as if the
claim that England is making, namely,
that she is only demanding rights which
the Outlanders are entitled to, Is mere
excuse. to cover the real object she has
in view. She wants the Transvaal for
two reasons, namely, because IL contains
very rich god mines which she desires to
control, and because she will eventually
have to get out of South Africa if she
doesn't dominate it. 1t is apparent there
fore that England has a great deal at
stake. The rights of the Outlanders are
of course worth contending for, but it
is safe to say that the differences between
the Beers and the Outlanders could have
been adjusted satisfactorily and in a very
short time if England had not wanted
something more. And it is probable that
she will get about what she wants, and
that, too, without a war

oN THE SAME PLATFORMS:

Senator Morgan's view Of the Philippine
situation is somewhat different from that
OF a great majority of the people. In an
interview. published in last Saturday
New York Journal he was quoted as say
ing: 80 far as we can judge their opinions
from their public utterances, Messrs.
Bryan and Mckinley are on the same
platform on the Philippine question. Ihat
is to say, each wants to restore peace ana
order in the Philippines and deal after
wards with the question Of what form OF
government should be erected for the is
lands"
MI. Mckinley goes a great deal further
than Senator Morgan says he does. lie
proposes that the islands shall become
permanent possession of this country. On
the other hand MIR. Bryan insists that the
Filipinos shall be given their independence
just as soon as they can establish gov
eminent of their own. In fact, he would
like TO see a halt in the fighting, and
conference held with the Fi}ipinos, in or
der to come to some sort of an under
standing with them in regard to their fu-
ture lie does not OF course, advise that
our soldiers be withdrawn under fire, but
il is evident he thinks that if the Fill
pinos were offered independence at the end
of a certain period they would be willing
to accept our rule for the time being.
Senator Morgan agrees with Mr.. Nc
Kinley In the course of the interview from
which the foregoing extract was taken
he said: "Of course we shall hold the
Philippines. We cannot ALLEVIATE them. They
were brought under the sovereignty of this
government by solemn treaty. just as were
the Louisiana purchase. California and the
other states and territories ceded to us by
Mexico, and Alaska by Russia"
It must be admitted that the arguments
which have been advanced from time to
time by Senator Morgan in favor of hold
ing the Philippines as a permanent pos
session have force that will be felt in all
parts of the country particularly in the
South. The South, he thinks, would be
benefited more by the possession of the
Philippines than any other section, because
Manila from his point of view, is bound
to become the distributing point for all of
the cotton goods consumed in Asia.
1t is not our intention, however, to go
into review of his argument in support
of retaining the Philippines as a perma-
nent possession. We simply want to point
out that he cannot have read Mr.. McKin-
ley's recent speeches very carefully or he
wouldn't assert that the President and
Mr. Bryan are on the same platform on the
Philippine question.

An Early Kissing Lndge.

Says a gossiper in the Utica Observer:
Il think it a pity that Martin Grover is
dead, for if he were living he would be
able to point to Col. Jouaust as the latest
convert to this theory of making judges
work. Why. when Judge Grover was
holding circuit In Wyoming, he amused all
the lawyers he didn't disgust by opening
his court at o'clock in The morning and
running it, with only an hour off at noon,
until in the evening. Tain as long as
farmers have to work explained this wise
old jurist, and III tell you what it is. if l
had my way I'd open court at Z every day
i'm the year and what would you do be-
fore that time in the morning. asked one
of the attorneys, who was standing by.
I'd get up and dress, and eat my break
fast, and saw wood until the time came
for court to open, responded the Judge
calmly"

CURRENT COMMENT.

Senator Carter's view of the Philippine
question does not appeal to the Springfield
CMass) Republican Qnd) 1t says: THE
great question about the Philippines, ac-
cording 10 Senator Carter of Montana, is
whether they will pay or not. Sentiment,
he insists VIII not count with the Ameri-
can people This is practical age APP
parently the only thing which prevents
the senator from going into the business
of burglary is a doubt of whether it will
pay in dollars and cents"
What shall our ex-Presidents do? There
are many things. The Birmingham News
Dem) suggests one of them in the follow
rng: President Mckinley has been elect
ed a member of the Bricklayers and
Stone Masons Internal ional Union No. q
of Chicago, in order that he may be eli
gible to lay the corner stone of the new
Federal building in that city. Thus if he
is defeated for reelection next year, he
can fall back on his trade, as ii is paying
excellent wages nowadays"
The Memphis Commercial-Appeal Dem)
remarks upon the folly of interfering in
a cat fight, and concludes; The solid
arity of the democracy in Kentucky is a
thing of the past or future. Every DEM
ocrats hand is lifted against his fellow,
and we very much fear that Mr.. Bryan
participation in the campaign there will
have anything but a soothing influence
on the democracy or a felicltous effect
upon his own fortunes"
Speaking Of what it calls the deplorable
habit of legislatures in making laws which
are unntelligible TO the people and the
courts. the Galveston News Dem) says:

II sounds almost ludiorous, in these en-
lightened days, TO hear of church body
which denounces the use of tobacco as
wicked and sinful and proposes to enforce
an ancient church blue law against the
weed. Yet there was considerable row
in the Methodist conference at Newport,
KY, the other day because several of the
ministers were reported to be users Of to-
bacco. There isn't any question about the
chewing of tobacco being a filthy habit,
and the smoking of cigars being a costly
one; but neither is more sinful than
drinking coffee or tea, which are luxuries
and not necessities.
