POKER n A

W. have never heard of an army OF
a naval officer being disciplined for TAX
ing a hand in a game of poker. This
has become somewhat a national game
since our minister to the court OF st.
James dignified it with publishing a
book of rules showing how to play the
hand and put up or face a bluff. Among
army and navy officers this is consider
ed a gentlemanly way Of gambling,
but when n of these gentlemen stoops
Ito shoot a game of craps his brother
Officers hold up their hands in holy
horror at such debasement of a COM
lpanion. Among most people gambling
is considered gambling, They know of
two kinds-where there is cheating
land where there is not-the former
only a degree or go lower than the lat
Iter-both debasing practices. But the
Iarmy officers seem to see q great diff
ference. In this par of the moral
vineyard shooting craps is generally
confined to our sporting population OF
african descent. 1t NAV be this fact
which produces such horror in the minds
Iof Uncle Sans warriors at the idea Of
one of their brother officers participant
ing in this ignoble game. Their opro-
lsition to this species of sport is so great
that a court-martial has recently given
Ia judgment Of dismissal from the SER
vice of a lieutenant who was caught in
the very act of shooting craus. Is not
this a discrimination against the colored
brother officer? If during the war with
Spain Colonel Jim Young of the Third
North Carolina regiment, had been
Icaught shooting craps with several Of
his brother officers of the same dusky

~DURHAMITES STIRRED UP.

The DurhamiteS are having a hot
# it with the Southern railroad
over the question of a new depot. A
from the chamber Of COM
Imerce waited on Colonel Andrews a
few days ago to See what could be done
about the matter. and the colonels
treatment of the gentlemen of the COM
Imittee was such that they returned to
durham boiling with rage. The com
mi teemen made their report to a mass
meeting, and hat report ~Unplugged a
hornets nest. Colonel Andrews, II
seems, did not mince his words or pay
much attention to ordinary civilities
lin his intercourse with the committee.
He told them, in substance, that Dur
ham woul get no better depot from
his road until the latter won the case
Involving it's contested right to the en-
tire width of one OF the leading streets
of the town, which contention the town
of Durham has been fighting for about
fifteen years. He also told them that
the passenger depot they had was suf-
Ifciently large to temporarily house the
pat ons Of his ROAD from that town.
The colonel. confident of his position
on this point, telegraphed to his agent
at Durham to wire him how many pas
Isengers had left that village on his
trains up to noon of that day. The
lanswer came showing that about three
times as many people had bought
tickets for passage on n three trains
leaving there about the same time as
THE passenger depot would accommo-
date. This was some what of a stag
gerer for the daughty colonel, who had
iemphatically contended that the wait
mOdate all his patrons, but he would
mot give in. The Durham people have
decided to appeal to the state corpora
ltiOn commission, which has the power
Ito order the oad to build a suitable
depot if it finds the n now in eXlS-
Itence not commensurate with the needs
Iof the town. In the meantime, it seems.
tine colonel has dispatched his attor-
mes, Mr.. Busbee, to Durham to see
what can be done to turn aside the
Ieffect Of explosion of the long pent-up
wrath of the Durhamites. This appeal
to the corporation commission was a
new and an unexpected o on the
part of the people. Mr.. Busbee makes
a suggestion as to how the matter
hight possibly be compromised. This
suggestion, he says, does not come
from him as attorney of the railroad
still he makes it, and he went there as
attorney of Colonel Andrews road.
Island to your guns, Durhamites. and
you will get what you demand. for
you demand no more than you are en-
Titled to. we are sure.

color would he have been dismissed
from the service on the ground that an
army officer, under army etiquette
can not participate in a gambling game
less polite than poker, or woul it have
recognized the color line n allowed
Colonel Young n his colored confreres
to indulge in crap while debarring this
past-time to his co-oficers Of q lighter
complexion? Gambling is gambling
every where except in the army and it
would seem that the army is the only
branch of the government which makes
a distinction as to amusements as well
as service of it's employees on account Of
color. We protest that the republican
administration should not draw this
color line against crap shooting by the
officers of the army who wish to in
dulge. 1t is not fair to the white Of
Gcer to diScriminate in this manner.

An exchange makes the following sum-

edge Of his nose and the majority Of

12-inch cracker at the cigarette in his

terry of the things as she was passing

In these days when the Venezuelan
affair is the chief topic of discussion
one reads a great deal in the press
about the "Calvo doctrine" This
seems to take as prominent a position
as the Monroe doctrine, and in fact.
with the South Americans a more
prominent one. Years back Carlos
Calvo, a noted historian and writer
on international law. a native Of the Ar
gentinc republic. who spent most of
his life in Paris, laid down the legal
proposition that where a foreigner had
a claim against another government
there should be no diplomatic nego-
tiations for its settlement until the
claimant had established his debt in
the court of the country from which
he claimed payment and that govern
ment had refused to make settlement.
He set it down as a rule of interna-
tional law that until this stage of the
proceedings was reached the govern
ment of the claimant had not right to
interfere by force of arms or in any
other way. n this principle has been
adhered to by all the Latin-American
republics eve since. If the Venezuelan
dispute is by consent referred to the
court at The Hague his position will
most probably be taken by that
try'S representatives. Should the court
maintain the Calvo doctrine, then Eng
land and Germany would be in fault
and Venezuela might have a good
claim against them for heavy dam
ages. The claims for the payment Of
which these nations are taking such
harsh measures have never been adj
Indicated in a Venezuelan court. This
may possibly be the Of solving
the knotty problem which these Eu-
oDean powers have raised on this side
of the Atlantic.

A JUST SENTENCE.

A sentence imposed not long ago by
a New York Judge has. caused much
comment, most of it very favorable.
A la was convicted OF reckless rum
ming Of n street car resulting in a col
lision. Judge kellogg, of Yonkers. SEN
fenced the defendant to six months
imprisonment, without the usual al
tentative of paying Il fine. One New
York newspaper assails the judge for
the severity of his sentence in not
giving the man the preference Of pay
h have taken cognizance of the af-
fair applaud the judge. The man by
his criminal carelessness endangered
the lives of many persons. That was
h charge against him, and the jury
said he was guilty of that charge. On
this finding of the jury of the fact OF
guilt and on the testimony showing the
nature Of the offense the judge acted
in imposing the penalty. His desire
was to punish the man for his criminal
act and not to increase the
of the county.
In his conduct the judge should be
commended by all who desire the en-
forcement Of the law and the punish
ment of it's %violators. Too many Of
our judges are in the habit of impos-
ing fines for violation Of the law by
persons on whom they know such SEN
tence Is really no punishment. More

costs, and before another day has
closed has reCouped his loss to the
state through receipts from his unlaw-
full business at the same old tand."

or two days or of a single Sunday will

law, as will those OF other classes of
law-breakerS, when convicted will
spend a while behind prison bars, then
the law will have some terrors for
them n there will not be such open
n careless violations of those laws.
Our judges are too prone to look rath-
er to the building up Of the public
funds and saving Of expenses to the
county than to the suppression Of
crime. The object of punitive laws is
not only to punish criminals, but to
prevent crime. Where a mar is con-
victed Of a crime. the punishment for
which is fine or imprisonment, if the
defendant proves ability to pay a fine,
the judge will in nearly every instance
allow him to go free upon paying the
fine no matter what the nature of the
offense. Were a different course pur-
