The Card-PIayisg Habit.

Is card-playing dying out? The ques-
ton refers to the times in general, and
not to this particular season of the
year when most Of the card clubs are
entering upon the summer vacation
and other forms Of pleasure are super
seding the great winter pastime. a
London letter asserts that in England
card playing has well-niGh died out,
ana only in the gambling rooms are
cards as much used as a few years
ago. This leads several American
papers to take up the question of the
continued popularity of cards in this
country. Some take one view and
some another. The New York Press
declares that many games which We're
popular a few years ago, such as Cali
fornia Jack, seven up, smut. vingt-un,
railroad euchre, scat, keno, auction
pitch, pedro, casino and hearts have
almost been forgotten. Poker, too, it
is asserted, is much less prevalent
than it used to be.
The Chicago Times-Herald says that
as over $4,000, 900 capital is now in
vested in the playing-card business in
the United States. and the output is
not less than 3O,00O,00O packs annually
there is slight indication that card
playing is going out of fashion. This
means an average of about two packs
for every family in the land, including
the preachers. and, placing the price
at 10 cents a pack. indicates that the
American people pay S3,O00,00O every
year for the cards they use.
We do not believe that card-playing
will cease to be popular and fashion
able until there is a great change in
the temperament and habits of the
average man and woman. 1t is too
convenient a way to entertain a few
friends for, while it keeps guests occu-
pied, il does not preclude social inter
course. Then there is the fascination
of the game itself which seldom leaves
Il person when once it gets a hold. 1t
is the love of keen competition and the
element of chance which makes it popu-
lar with a great many. And as long
as ladies are inclined to spend time
trying to win prizes there will be card
clubs, and as long as men ride on rail-
road trains there will be card-playing
England may set some of our fashions,
but it will take more than the decline

Governor pingree's Flop.

Governor Pingrees flop into the
Democratic camp is no surprise. For
some time this eccentric chief execu-
tive has been fostering mild case OIL
Organism, and now that the Repupil-
cans of Michigan have resolved 70
nominate some other man for governor
he has decided that he no longer has
any use for his old party. He says III
his farewell address that the only nope
of the people is in the Democratic
nartv- but what he really means IS
that the only hope of Pingree is in
the Democratic party. While his pres
ence in Democratic ranks may cause
his nav associates some embarrass-
ment. it will cause little or no regret
among Republicans. His political
vacaries have made him unique fig
ure in public life, but the general
opinion regarding him has never been
very high. He is a radical in many
things and has something of the dema-
gogue in his makeup. He has had
many party fights in his own state,
and though the courts have OCCASION
ally downed him on matters of consti-
tutional law, he has kept pretty regu-
larly on top in political matters.
Governor Pingree has never been a
power in national politics and it is very
unlikely that his desertion of Republi-
canism will have any effect on the
coming campaign. No doubt he has a
strong personal following in Michigan,
but that his detection will in any way
shake the robust Republicanism of the
Peninsular state. nobody for moment
believes. 1t is one thing for such a
man to win fights with big party
behind him, and quite another to de-
sert that party and win fights against
it. Maine, his native State, has
watched his career with much interest
and will continue to do so, though his
political sympathies have been for
some time tending away from Repub
licanism. He is not likely to be a
been n Republican. Governor Pingrea
is one of those men who can only enjoy
political harmony when he is in a
party by himself
