LICENSE GAMBLING.
clnclnnati's Mayor Says That Is the
only Way to Regulate the Evil.

Cincinnati, January 29.-Mayor Fleisch-
mann today announced himself in favor
of the licensing of gambling, if it is to be
regulated.
There is no way in which gambling can
be regulated, except 1t be licensed" said
the Mayor 1.-THE existence of gambling
Is a fact. There has always been gam
bling and it seems certain to me that for
ages to come there will still be those
who want to take a chance. This fact,
however, does not lessen the duty of the
authorities to see that 1t does not be-
come so general or is done in such a
manner as to undermine the morals Of
the community and corrupt the young
at should not be Haunted, but should
be hedged about with restrictions. There
are men who in spite of everything that
is done by the police will still find a way
to gamble To regulate anything 1t must
be legalized, that Is 1t must be licensed.
1t is a great problem-one that 1 have
struggled with in vain almost. L find con-
ISOLATION in a degree by remembering that
others who have gone before have failed"
Some one suggested that the authors
ties should more frequently visit the va
rious places, so that they could know
what was going on. To this Mayor
Fleishchmann said.
Eyes, 1t is well, but the trouble with
me has been that the proprietors OF these
places recognize me as soon as l enter
the door. / have no disposition to go
around incog, like that Arabian prince we
read about do not think the mayor of
city should be a sneak or a spy"

of Withdrawing public attention from
their own acts, the bureaucrats of st.
Petersburg caused large number of
Kuropatkin's soldiers to leave in the

grandstand play, and Kuropatlxin'
soldiers were its victims. The two
armies are lined up on either side of
the Shakhe, and there they will stay
at least two months longer.
The appeal of the Holy Synod to
orthodox Russians also goes to show
that the bureaucrats are leaving nc
stone unturned in order to maintain
themselves in power. Says the Holy
Synod, "Russia's enemies are striving
to shake down her pillars of ortho
doxy and autocracy, without which
Russia would come to ruin" M. Pobe

cessors, will not go backward. Ser
gius and Pobedonosteff should put
their ducal and ancient ears to the

DESDEMONA'S FURNITURE
is COMING TO AMERICA

From the New York Times.
1T is reported that the palace Of Des-
demona In Venice is to be dismantled
4 and the furnishings, bric-a-brac, pic
lures, and other belongings brought to
America The place has long been In
habited by an American family, and
it is in keeping with the sustained and
no doubt pious and loving incumbency
with It's cherishing care for an entranced
and enhancing memory, that the house
keeping articles of yenice's loftiest hero
inc should come over here when 1t has
been sufficiently attested that they are ap
preciated.
To be sure, there may be some doubt
about the Objects collection made
priceless but such associations is ex-
posed to great danger of being Sailed"
so to speak, and there is always the
nisgiving that the real Desdemona may
never have seen them. And there has
to be a most delicate discrimination in
dining who the real Desdemona is, for
there are manifestly number of them.
There Is, In the first p, zee, the actual
daughter Of the proud Venetian noble, and
bride OF the Moorish general, soldier OF
fortune in the states service, and what
she was underneath the glamour of her
pathetic history we may conjecture In
vain. Then there is the same female as
the old story books make her out, full
of beauty and tenderness and innocence,
with every one of her footsteps printing
the earth, marching toward a predes-
tined doom blacker than her tempest
uous lord, whom the fates made the in
strument Of its execution. Then there
is Shakespeares Desdemona-the true
one-born into light and significantly to
sparkle In the thought and imagination
of mankind as long as the race continues.
Somehow we cannot connect this ra-
diant image with sublunary furniture or
a municipal habitation paying taxes.
Her abiding place would rather seem to
be. like Poe's Haunted Palace. 'fn the

ornaments and belongings could not be

CHICAGO and the Southeast.

The Chicago Record-Herald is in
dignant. Discrimination in freight
rates against Chicago and the middle
west is what moves it, and it is the
freight rates to the southeast that par
ticularly ails it. The following tables
disclose at a glance the source of its
grief:

The middle west does not see why
it should not have as good a chance
to exploit the southeast as New York
has IA Chicago merchant" says the
Record Herald, "who wishes to sell
goods in the southeast is compelled
first to pay a higher freight rate than
The eastern merchant on any raw ma
terial he may get from that section,
and must then meet the price of the
eastern manufacturers and in addition
euualize the freight rates by reduc-
ton in the prices of his goods. 1t is
stated that it cost one Chicago mer-
chant alone during 1904 fully 100000
to equalize his freight rates"
New York and Chicago must fight
their own battle. The southeast is the
goose to be plucked, and the goose
does not care which does it. AS be-
tween the effete east and the woody
west 1t stands like the woman in the
bear fight ready to cheer both sides.
The Record-Herald says present rates
were made in 1878 ITO preserve the
manufacturing integrity of the east,
and the agricultural supremacy of the
west. The welfare Of the southeast
itself was not considered. 1t did not
enter into the problem at all, and it
is not likely to be a factor in it. Go
1t, then, Chicago; go It, New York.
Let your adjustments proceed.

resolution of inquiry was promptly re-
ferred by a party majority to the COM
mittee on foreign affairs, and there
the subject rests, although tomorrow
Santo Domingo, with its 100000 Of
mulattoes, will practically be annexed
by executive action.
The question now arises, what kind
of a republic is this, anyway?
The President and his party friends
decline to say that the protocol is
tentative-that 1t simply payes the
way to a treaty to be submitted to the
Senate at least. They decline to say
anything of the kind, and the public
is left to infer that santo Domingo
will tomorrow be annexed by virtue
of a fiscal protectorate executed slap
dash by the President. If this be so,
the republic of the fathers is rather
history only.
All that has been said is this: The
protocol which Commander Dillingham;
of the navy is bringing to Washing
ton will be Submitted" to the Senate
as soon as it is received. 1t is not a
treaty. however 1t is but ga memo
randum of agreement" What, pray,
is "a memorandum Of agreement 1t
is acknowledged that it goes into ef-
feet tomorrow-that 1t bears the sig
nature of President Morales of the

Frenzied's Standpatism.

The American Protective Tariff
league has met and resoluted. 1t is
standing pat with both feet on the
sacred Dingley tariff 1t is wholly
willing to revise that noble device OF
the few, but it desires to wait until
hard times and tramps fill the land.
The inference is that it would then
want the tariff revised upward. 1t at
any rate gives out no token of a re-
vision downward at any time. 1.-THE
case for upward revision" it says, sis
fully as strong as downward revision. "
The many are not in this programme,
but the few who do the robbing GER
tainly are. Revision upwardl Does
not that jar you?
The league goes on to say that pros
perity forbids revision, and that we
must await adversely. Not even the
limited and most conservative revi-
sionist must be tolerated while pros
perinty is with us. All revision must
wait until a great part of the popula-
ton is idle. This involves the strange
admission that Dingleyism may bring
us to such a condition. 1t certainly
will bring the many there.
Perhaps the best paragraph in the
address of the league is this:
1.-The democratic tariff revisionist we al
ways have with us. The free trade tariff
reformer is a familiar figure. From them
we have grown accustomed to expect a
never ceasing agitation. We look for 1t
