Sunday Gambling in Milford.

Sunday gambling is a INSIDE
meanor against the laws of Della
were, and the crap shooters of Mil
ford are in a fair way to do time in
jail. This form of gambling on
Sundays has become a nuisance to
citizens near the places where these
crowds assemble, and complaint
has been lodged with the town au-
thorities who will take steps to put
a stop to this public evil. Last
Sunday the police with President
Hallett made a raid on a game
near Abbott's shipyard, where
fifty or more people were present
who ranged from 7-year-old boys,
up to men 40 years old. The gam
blers escaped, and the pleading OF
others that their names be not
made public, caused the President
of Council to let them off-aftel
exacting a pledge from them to de
sist from this form of Sabbath des
ecration, This form of gambling
is demoralizing scores of children
and children whose parents do no
dream of their danger. If the law
abiding citizens will aid, this evi
will be broken up.

Probably no more valuable com

the Republican Text Book which

A quotation from President Nc
Kinley is made the motto of the
book. 1t reads "You do not
have to guess what the Republican
party will do, the world knows its
purposes. It has embodied them
in law, and executed them in adj
ministration. The committee re-
views the results accomplished by
the party and draws attention to
the fact that the antitrust law was
placed on the statutes over the
united opposition of the Democratic
party in the House of Representa-
tives. A review of the prosperity
attained under the Republican pol

with a brief sketch Of the invasion

1t is pointed out that the imports
of the United States amount tc

81 ,465, $50, 900, and considerable
space is devoted to the results O

lost the "ShOestring" district, and had |
very narrow escape in the Fifth Sena-
tOrial district, where Mr.. Clinton Pretty
man came near bowling over their

ton at the ticket in several districts.

ter bowled them all out On the first ballot
he received 80 votes There was a "kick'

a majority Of the convention Of 90, but Chair

pay the interest upon which, and to
make reasonable sinking fund provis-
ion for the ultimate discharge of which
! the ordinary revenues of the island of
Cuba, after defraying the current ex-
penses of the government, shall be in
adequate"
No computation has been made to
ascertain whether or not the loan pro
vided for in the bill which Minister
Squiers refers to trespasses upon the
provision of the Plat amendment, but
it is presumed that the Cuban reve-
nues can pay the interest and provide
a sinking fund beside defraying the
ordinary expenses Of the government,
as provided in the amendment. At
the same time it will no doubt be
found very difficult to interpret this
particular provision, as the question
of revenues may fuctuate according
to the conditions in the island. 1t is
known that the intention of article
was to prevent any extraordinary issue
of bonds for the purpose of redeemine
the bonds of the sO-called republic
previous to the Spanish-American wal
and the payment of large bOunties tC
those who had taken part In the in
surrection against Spain. It was in
, tended as a check upon the CubaI
