The testimony of former Repre-
sentative Themas j. Leonard of
this city, who was formerly deputy
state auditor and II booln,akcr at
the St. Louis tracks, threw light
upon the iniquitous connection of
the state government and the race
track gamblers. Mr.. Leonard
said that TIE bookmakers' licenses
were issued by him, and that he
was paid $50 for each license and
a salary of $40 day by the race
track management. At the same
time he was Il bookmaker at the
tracks.
President Gardner of that bower
of morality and responsibility
where clergymcn and their tlocks
find religious recreation, the Kan

his deputy state auditor was not a
bookmaker, but he was compelled
to admit that the deputy auditor
was paid by the Kansas City race
track.

John j, (Baldy) Ryan, who was
at the head of one of the get rich
quick swindles in St. Louis, and
who had been indicted on a charge
of cmbczzlement, was discharged
from custody one day last week,
after Judge Forster Of the St.
Louis circuit court had sustained
a demurrer to the effect that Ryan's
conduct WAS not crimina! aud was
only amenable to civil action. 1t
was alleged that Ryans turf in,
vestment concern had beaten those
who had put money into it out of
100000. When his scheme blew
up Ryan made an assignment and
returned to his creditors fifteen
per cent Of the money they had
put in his hands. Thus the tran
saction became one Of ''high Fl.
nance and not robbery. So there
you are. To take money surrcpti-
tiously is to be Il thief; to get it by
misrepresentation in the way of an
Investment" and give the owner
back a small portion of it when he
finds he has been skinned is fl
nancial transaction. Tho thiei
expiates his crime in the peniten'
tiary, the "fnancier" lives in The
free enjoyment of his loot. There
are times when one cannot but be
licve that our courts draw theil
distinctions too fine for the right
eous application Of justice.

The United Railways company,
of which ]. p. Morgan is at the
head, has, according the newpa-
Ter reports acquired the St. Louis
street railway sy,em. paying 800, :
100000 for same. This company
is making great strides in concen-
trating the street railways of the
larger cities of this country un-
der one control. Thus it will be
noticed how the concencration of
the great public utilities is con-
tin'Ially going on, and their great
earnings going into fewer and few
cr hands to swell the stupendous
fol tunes of those who are in the
system. From certain view
point this concentration is a good

must, it will be easier for the poo
pie 10 take control Of these public
