Gambling in Mexico.
From the Hartford courant.

FROM the Hartford COufant.
Martin Stecker. who publishes a
weekly paper in Linares Mexico. is in
Jail there. Il am at present in Jail" he
wiites, for censuring IN my paper the
mayor and the town clerk for keeping
COWS and hogs in their yards and let
ting the water run through bitches in
town without sufficient fall TO permit
their being flushed, thus causing water
TO sta gnate and ultimately to bring
about an epidemic Of yellow fever Of
such virulence that l think it could not
be any worse"
Editor Stecker has been living among
the MeXicans for a dozen years now,
and he testifes that the love of gamb-
ling is born i'm them. Everybody buys
lottery tickets. The chief attractions
at al! Mexican fairs are the bullhghts
ana the gambling games. When he was
new to Mexican ways. the gambling in
Iirares astonished him. He knew il
was contrary to Mexican law. yet he
saw pames running in the town hall it
self and in school houses. Another
thing that puzzled him was a monthly
announcement of this sort in the off,
clal paper of Neuvo Leon: Several
nubllc-spirited people of this city have
given S3.33S.33 toward the construction
Of the State capitol building Being
in Monterey one day he asked the COM
missioner of schools about it, That
functionary explained that the queer

Of the sum demanded and paid for the
exclusive gambling house privilege in
the city.

Dowie and his remarkable religious
movement in New York:
There is no other man. not even the

control all his followers as can this

unparalleled by any man in the United
States. ] think Dowie may as well go
to New York and air his views on po-
litical. social and religious questions
as for some men to do so who are al
ready there. Regarding his being Eli
iah, believe one Of two things is true:
namely. that he is either an impostor
or he Is a well-meaning man, but de-
luded. But l have often observed that
fanatic was one who faithfully en-
deavored to live up to his religious be-
liefs."

Of the police, tried to get into Madison

had secured admittance when Dowie
ordered the doors closed. When the

the widest disorder prevailed, and
the police 400 strong, were for a time
utterly unable to cope with the mad
rush of the crowd. Men and women
were knocked down and trampled on,
and many narrowly escaped death in
the crush.
Several times Inspector Walsh sent
in calls for extra reserves, and it was
not until the meeting was suddenly
terminated by Dowie that anything
could be done with the crowd.

rHE aNleeeRn ISSUE.

A campaign button has appeared in
Maryland representing President Roose-
welt and coal black negro dining to-
gether. OF course the negro represents
Booker Washington. who is to be pre-
ferred socially, politically and morally
to the designer Of the button or any OF
its wearers. A campaign on such an
issue deserves disaster. II is not an
appeal to reason but to passion such as
once brought on an awful civil war
Such a slur on Booker Washington Is
unwarranted. for his mission has been
TO preach peace between the races and
TO teach his own people TO be industri-
Gus and patient.
These rabid Maryland Democrats
may have the satisfaction Of knowing
that Booker Washington who has raised
himself from the depths Of ignorance
and poverty by his own efforts is recog-
nized by educators and leaders OF pup
lie thought as one OF the foremost men
OF his time That dinner incident may
have been in-advised but to reasona-
bio men It concerned nobody but the
principals. No matter though his skin
be black. Booker Washington is a cul-
turcd gentleman and as such the Pres
ident extended to him certain eourte-
sizes. Most OF us wouldn't have done H.
but that doesn't prove that the Presi-
dent was violating the proprieties when

rAE EleHr IN Nav YORK.

The eyes of the whole country are
now on New York city. Dowie with
his hosts is enoamped In Madison
Square Garden bending his efforts 70
redeem tho city and incidentally to
boom Zion city. His reform mission
n such il may be called. is doomed 70
failure. Now York is diverted but un-
moved.
But another reform element is more
serious and Is bringing within the
sphere Of ITS influence all the people
Of New YoelS who yet cling to the idea
that good government and a decent
administration of affairs are desirable.
The fusion movement has steadily
gained headway over since the opening
gun OF tho campaign. Those who haq
minor objections TO Mayor Low and his
administration soon cast them aside
The brilliant but somewhat erratic Je-
rome soon found that he could not op-
pose Low without casting his lot with
the hosts who are IN eternal enmity
with public decency. Like a man hs
came back TO the position whore the
good people OF New York expected te
md him. and since then his voice has
been insistent for the fusion movement
It ia struggle that naturally inter
ests the whole country. Nobody think
OF politics in tho ordinary sense as be
ing connected with It. There could b
no issue more clearly defined betweel
decency and indecency. Tammany ha
lived on spoils; it has preyed on hu
manity. Vice and virtue alike hav
been made TO pay tribute. There is n
defense for that system which 20 lonl
controlled New York. The issue IL a
plain as that involved In a pure mora
question. The triumph OF the fusio
ticket In this greatest city OF the Unio
would be hailed as a bow Of promis
