Trying to Abolish Gambling.

Isen Chun-hsuen, viceroy at Canton, is
another notable progressive" who is doing
a great deal to introduce foreign methods
and bring his people up to date. He, too,
has forbidden foot-binding, and has estab-
lished modern schools, and what is the most
remarkable of all, has undertaken to abol-
ish gambling, which is the universal vice
OF the Chinese people, even more harmful
than opium smoking. Viceroy Tsen is 60
ing about the matter gradually. His first
step is to close out the lotteries and public
gambling houses Until now the govern
ment of Kwang-tung as well as other prov
inces has derived considerable revenue
from lotteries, and permits to run them
have been sold annually for large sums At
frequent intervals in the streets of Canton
and other cities are offices at which lottery
tickets may be purchased over the counter
like any other merchandise; they are ped
died on the street and even in the houses.
The tickets are very cheap and every body,
even to the children, buys them.
The lotteries, rule, are honestly man.
aged, but the anxiety to get rich quick Is
as keenly developed among the Chinese as
among every other people, and the chances
being nine to one against the ticket holder,
the patrons of the lotteries continue to
grow poorer and poorer and the managers
continue to grow richer and richer. Vice.
roy Tsen, having come to the conclusion
that the lotteries are curse to his people,
has revoked all licenses, to take erect on
the LIST of January next, and has forbidden
the sale and the purchase of lottery tickets
and every similar form of gambling from
that date on. He is the first Chinese Off
cial to undertake such reform and the
result will be watched with great interest
The Grand Old Man.
Chan Chih-tung, viceroy at Hupeh, the
capital of Kiang,sii and Nganhwui, is the
grand old man'sof China, contemporary
and rival of Ii Hung Chang The two men
were often united in their support of the
same measures and were often bitterly
hostile to each sother. Both were very
strong characters and had remarkable
traits. Had they lived anywhere else they
would have been equally powerful and in
fiuential, and in Chinese history they will
stand out as the most conspicuous figures
of this epoch.
The greatest difference between them has
been that no one ever questioned the in
tegrity of Chang Chih-tung, and after fifty
years in office he Is a poor man. I have
been told that he does not own an acre of
property or a share Of stock or any other
Investment of value, WHILE as you know,
Ii Hung Chang WAS very rich man and
made all of his money in office.
