feeling of disgust at the proposal to
revive slot machine gambling in Now
Orleans, when public sentiment has

u would seem that the plea for the
revival Of this most demoralizing
devise of gambling is cuisines nee
essItY." Well, If such a plea were
endorsed, there would be no limit to
the "buslness necessity" and in the

which ara intended to regulate and
suppress crimes would be set aside
: or ignored, but, it is safe to assume
that the ordinance pending IN the

THE NICARAGUA CANAL.

The prospects for the passage of the
Nicaragua canal bill at the coming

The Democrats and the Republicans

Senator Morgan, of Alabama, who
mas been for years an enthuslss iC

and favorable consideration, but the

The EVIL OF THE SLOT MA
CHIMES.

The Picayune in commenting on
the ordina ce, pending in the co 1ncil
of the city of New o leans in favor
of the slot machine says: The slot
machine is a gambling device, AID
for several years it was allowed t. be
operated in various places of bust
Ut So in this city, until it became a
crying evil. 1t offered special OPP
porLunlties TO ycuths, and even 70
small boys, to gamble away their
nfckels, and the result was popular
uprising against the machines that
drove them out of the city under The
force OF gn ordinance of the council.

The very worst sort of gambling is
that which tempts and gives special
opportunities to youths of tender

what the slot machines were d ,iDg

tarn them under the protection of

To Kill the Ship Subsidy Bill.

A Washington special says that
Senator pettigrew of South Dakota
has scheme for the humiliation of
Hanna. Fettigrew started the feud
with Hanna during the last session.
and the election cost him his Senate
seat.
He knows Senator Hanna is devoted
to the Ship Subsidy bill and has
pledged the shipping interests of the
country that this measure shall be
passed. 1t will doubtless be passed by
the House and then go to the Senate
land there will stand Pettigrew.
So long as Senator Pettigrew shall
find it agreeable to talk On the Ship
ping Subsidy bill the polite Senators
will be forced to listen to him, and no
day can be set for vote on the
measure. 1t is predicted that in this
way Mr.. Hanna's Ship Subsidy hill,
the speech Of Pettierew on the bill,
the term of Pettigrew in the Senate
and the last session OF the Senate in
the Fifty sixth Congress will all &c
out together OH March 4tb. ......
While the motives OF Senator Petit
grew are open to adverse criticism, his
object is one that will be approved by
every business interest in the country
except the one that it is proposed to
make the beneficiary of the bill.
The Ship Subsidy bill proposes to
take from the rational treasury several
millions of dollars annually and hand
it over as gift, to those interested in
ships and shipbuilding. Every othol
business interest, therefore, would be
taxed for the henefit OF this single
industry.
As well give subsidies to machine
shops, rolling mills. iron foundries,
building concerns and every othei
business interest, as to give them to
tho owners and Builders of ships.
The SHIP Subsidy bill should be de
feated. ." "---...". ...
