show, we understand, that the fines
imposed and collected for selling whis-
ky and gambling from the first of jan
uary up to the present are more than
double those of the first six months of
the past year; which shows, either that
there is more blind tigering and gamb-
/ ling this year than last, or else that
| there is greater activity in the enforce
ment of the laws against these offences
than heretofore, or possibly a combina-
ton of both. But whatever the cause
of the increase in the collection Of fines,
| let the good work of Suppressing the I'll
gers and the gamblers go on.
