GAMBLING IN HIGH SOCIETY.

It's a rare Sabbath that passes in
New York without a scoring of the -Four
Hundred by n or more of the prom
inent divines of the metropolis. Rev.
DR.. Huntington, of Grace Church, last
Sunday spoke of some astonishing reve-
lations as to the vices of high society.
Said he:
What are these stories we hear about
the spread of an uncomfortable passion
for gambling? Is it possible that there
are leaders of society who lend their coun-
tenance to form of amusement that are
against the very laws of the land?
1T may be hard to frame an argument
against gambling that will hold in logic.
but shipwrecked lives speak louder than
any syllogism.
rs it true that young women. reputed
to be of good family and honest bringing
up, exhibit with pride the jewels bought
put of the profits of the gaming table?
Could anything be more vulgar than such
acts as these? Nay, that is a feeble word.
Could anything be more infamousg'

arguments to coerce their labor into

And it is most likely to choose to keep
Mr.. Mckinley regardless of the preju-
dice against a third term. Banded
plutocracy has overturned more pow
erful things than a mere popular preju-
dice-the Constitution and the Declar-
alton of independence, for examples.
Then how about a fourth term?
some one asks. Well, after a third
term Plutocracy will find it easy sail
ing enough. AS a precedent for keep
ing a satisfactory President in office
pe%rpetually Plutocracy would have the
precedent of Mexico, which is prosper
ing under the rule OF Gen. Porfrio
Diaz, who has been President of that
Republic since 1884.
President Hadley, of Yale, in view
OF the growth of the power of Plutoc-
racy, predicts an emperor for the
United States within twenty-five
years. The necessities of allied wealth
may make it sooner. The powers of
the President are already those of an
imperial a~utocrat.

COUNCIL WILL BE COMMENDED.

The action of Council, last evening,
despite the policy of the so-called reg
ular Republican obstructionists, in
confirming the qualifications of
the city departmental officers elect
and approving their bonds, and follow
ing this up by transacting such pub
lie business as was possible under the
circumstances, will be heartily approx
ed by the citizens of Wheeling, without
regard to politics. There has been
enough of foolishness and to spare.
The regular Republican minority was
whipped beyond hope Of recuperation
at half-past nine of the evening of the
first session Of the new Council, and
since has simply been playing a dog
in-the-manger policy, firstly, for the
mere sake of obstruction; secondly,
from a determination to clutch at any
straw a chance current might throw
in their way, and thirdly, and most
important, because it was determined
by them that they would hold on to
the Offices until the last moment,
simply for the sake of the daily per
diem in the way of salary. They died
hard-but they are dead. They have
been out-voted and out-generaled at
every point, and nothing now remains
for them but to retire with the nasty
odor of defeat in their nostrils into the
jungle of oblivion, there to sorrowful-
ly and regretfully ruminate upon the
inevitable fate falling to those who
indulge in selfish political folly.
At midnight last night the Demo
cratic and independent Republican
Boards were in control of the Offices
of the B. P. w. and the Water Board,
and there are de facto in charge of
those departments of the city. Mr..
Forgey will continue to preside owe
the Receivers Office, Mr.. Cocoran will
doubtless take charge of the Collec-
tors Office to-day, and Mr.. Coniff is
the city's legal advisor beyond dis
pute, and has been, as a matter of
fact, for some days.
A new and improved regime has
come about, despite the utmost en-
deavors of lovers. of the old and objec-
tionable order of things to prevent it.
Those we'll disposed towards the
people are cordially invited to come in
out of the wet and aid in an admins
tration by the people and for their well
fare.

IS Il IS ~ skscx tkSf certain poor
young man after an evenins It bridge,
was informed by his hostess that he
had lost 1880 and requested to settle
before leaving. That is exactly the
amount of his yearly salary. The
young man protested that he was not
aware he had been playing for money,
but the wealthy m was obdurate
and compelled him to give his I. O. u
for the sum, which represented a years
hard work to him. There are other
stories of young women who have add
ed many costly trinkets to the con-
tents of their jewel cases by their luck
or skill at bridge"
These were the basis of DR.. Hunting
tons remarks as also was the statement
made last Wednesday by the Rev. DR..
William S. Rainsford. of st. Georges
Church, regarding a young society wo-
man who had boosted of winning $500
at a single sitting at bridge-whist at a
country house party. Also the utter
ance of Rev. Braddin Hamilton, of All
Saints Chapel, Newport, who in a re-
cen sermon said: "Weshave reason to
believe that such a custom (gambling)
is being practiced in many of the cot
tages at Newport. It is safe to say
that if gambling is established here as
an amusement in respectable homes, in
side of a veal this country will have
10, 000, 900 more gamblers than it has
to-day, and the majority of them will
start in their humble fats, surrounded
by bare walls, just as innocently as you
started. here on your piazzas, surround
ed by plants and flowers"
DR.. Huntington voiced a pertinent
query when he asked: What avails
a crusade against policy shops and pool
rooms, whether by a committee of five,
fifteen or fifty. if behind closed doors,
which no detective ventures to pass,
such things as these go on?"
Verify, it looks as if the New York
chief of police would have to raid a few
p~alatial residences on Fifth Avenue as
well as the red light district if the
gambling evil is to be stopped.
In view of these things well may the
Rev. DR.. Huntington exclaim:
What then is to become of society?
With Sunday lapsing into a mere tradi-
ton; with the day which a New England
mystic, not over friendly to Christianity,
made bold to call the backbone of our
civilization turned by common consent
from a holy day to a holiday; with mar
riage, the cornerstone of the family life
which, in it's turn, is the corner stone of
the State, with holy wedlock d~egenerating
into a mere fast and loose contract, and
with love of pleasure so omnipresent and
omnipotent as to W obliterated the very
landmarks of decency, who shall say hat
the call for a revival of the spirit of dis
cipline is ill-timed?"

The salary of Mr.. Schwab, president
of the billion dollar steel trust, is not
$500, 900, as at first stated, but 81, 000,-
900 a year. And the notable feature of
the arrangement is that his hackers say
that he will earn every dollar of it by
saving at least $1,000 900 to the COM
bine every year in the consolidation of
offices and the reduction of working
expenses. A million dollar salary for
a thirty-seven-year old is doing pretty
well for the young mar Absalom.'

ADVICE FROM CLEVELAND AND
HILL.

HILL. y
In letters to the Crescent Demo-
cratic Club of Baltimore, on the coca
sion of it's twenty-ninth anniversary
banquet, former President Cleveland
and former Senator David B. Hill gave
words of advice to the Democratic
party. "All present signs of the
times" said Mr.. Cleveland, indicate
most impressively the necessity Of in
creased activity and aggressiveness in
the ranks of the Democracy" There
never was a time, he believed, when
the application of Democratic doctrine
was more needed ito cure evils which
afiict the body polite and there never
was a time when our countrymen
would be more willing to accept De-
mocracy as they once knew it as a
safeguard against existing and threat
ened ills But Mr.. Cleveland fears
that if the Democratic party is to re-
gain it's old time prestige, 1T must
first of all things itself become truly,
honestly and consistently Demo-
cratic" .
Former Senator Hill, who also sent
a letter, was more specific In his state
ment of grievances against the leader
ship of Mr.. Bryan:
'In this time of defeat when the shouts
of the victorious hosts of plutocracy, COM
mercialism and Imperialism at their re-
cent inaugural festivities at the national
capital are still ringing in our ears, we
should remember that the darkest hour Is
oftentimes just before the dawn of day.
81 am sure that a majority of the Amer
lean electorate will not be satisfied with
the continued rule of extravaganza n
corruption. But we must not deceive our
selves. The people will not restore the
Democratic party to power unless they
are satisfied that we will give them bet
ter government than our opponents. The
people want a safe and conservative ad-
ministration. There must be no question
of our intention to fearlessly maintain the
national credit under any and all circum-
stances. We must not permit our oppo-
nents to place us in a false position as
NlIC Ill VI uDii OtuCi. 1abol anu
capital should be respected, but neither
should be unnecessarily assailed. Oppo-
sition to dangerous corporate combina-
tons should not be allowed to degenerate
into indiscriminate attacks on chartered
rights.
I'VE should conciliate rather than an
tagonize the great business interests, n
this can easily be accomplished without
the surrender of a single party principle
Without discussing this question of
Democratic ethics-for there will be
many to dispute with Mr.. Hill and
Mr.. Cleveland as to the business of
their criticism and as to what consti-
tutes Democratic principles-we leave
the case as its stands with the jury.
