Commenting on tlio postponement of tliu
lottery cnu tlio Now York World nays!
Tim Hupruuio Court lias postponed tlio
hearing until ntitunm In order thnt tlio en ho
may bo determined by a full Ilencli, but tlio
In lefs at o In, and n ('.ireful rending of tlium
Is not very reassuring lo those who doslro to
wo sonio effective restraint placed upon this
legalized gambling. Tlio argument of tlio lot
tery lawyers upon tlio constitutional tpicv
Hon Involved Is very strong; that of Assist
ant Attorney-(leneral Maury for tliuOovem
incut seems tuui'li weaker tlinn n really enpa
bio Attorney-General would havo niado It
If tlio law He with thr light in tlio caso wo
mint depend iiwu tlio court to discover tlio
fact without much liolp from tlio Attorney
General's olllco as at present manned.
This is Hcatcoly Just to tlio Attorney-Oon
oral's Olllco. Mr. Maury lias mado tlio best
caso that was possible for tlio Oovernment in
this controversy, mid has, presumably, acted
In full harmony with Attorney General Mil
ler, who has been iireveuted by Illness from
preparing tlio brief In iiersou. Tlio trouble
is that tlio Koverimieut lias not much of a
caso on tlio face of tlio paer. Tho moasuro
which tlio Iotilslnua Lottery Company chal
lenges U'foro tlio Hiipremo Court can bo de
fended only on the giound of moral expedi
ency. Undoubtedly it is, as an abstract
proposition, an Invasion of tlio liberty of tlio
press and an infringement of personal rights.
Theoretically, If Congtossiuny deny tho uso
of tho mulls to newspapers containing lottery
advertisements, it may with eipinl propriety
tnko similar action In tlio caso of llipior ad
vertisements, playing canl advertisements,
bucket-shop advertisements or any other
which tho party in tho nujorlty at ;tho mo
inent may choost to regard as Immoral and
pernlclniK There is, indeed, no end to tho
mischief and opproulou to which such a
principle, once established, may not lead. It
is but natural, therefore, that tho constitu
tion should repudiate it in a eoucral way.
nnd that it khould be destitute of support in
precedent. We can readily see that the Attorney-General's
office may have found it
Impossible to defend the law on anv but mor
al, and, to a certain extent, sentimental
grounds. As we see It, the question Is not
nueiner me uovernment can nml any de
fense in laws already exlstent.'but whether
the Buptvmo Court will, in view of the grav
ity of tho case, originate a law to fit this par
ticular emergency. Tho strictures on Sir.
Maury strike us as unjust. I In has no caso
and ho virtually confesses as much. What
his brief means Is that tho Supremo Court
should make a caso for hliu. Washington
(D. C.) Crltle-Keeord.
Tlio Sew York World commonts on tlio
nliovo ns follows:
Why did not the Attorney-General then
discover tho limitations of power nml see
that the lull was so framsj as to lu constitu
tional I The orld urgently pointed out tho
necessity for such caution at the time, and
tho reply uniformly was that the Attornoy-
Qtneral's olllco had thoroughly considered
that matter. How comes it then, that the
moment tho law U questioned the best Attorney-General
can do is to confess that ho has
no case and pray tho Court "to make a case
for hlml"

How to Trent Poisonous Illtes.
Hero nro directions for dealing with a
poisonous bite of any kind on tho hand
or foot or limb near either: Put a liga
ture abovo it to prevent n return flow of
blood, thon scrape the wound or othor
wiso keep it open ho that tho blood will
flow freely. This provents tho veins
from carrying tho poison in to the system,
and nt tho same timo tho free flow of
blood tends to wash the poison out. It
is a general rule that tho nioro freely a
wound bleeds tho less danger there is of
poison being absorbed.
How to Get the Number of m Conjrret.
To determine the number of any con

congress convened in '80; adding 13 gives4
103, half of which gives 01, the last be
ing tho Fifty-first congress. Conversely,
to find tho year in which any numbered
congress convened, double tho number
of tho congress nnd deduct 13. Thus of
the Fifteenth congress: 0 multiplied by
15 minus 11) equals 17. and tho Fifteenth
congress met in 1817.

"Yes."
Tho three volunteered almost ns ono man.
"Hut I don't need three," protested tho
man. "Tbero's only a ton of It."
Then tho dirtiest and rnggedest of the
lot slowly untangled his long legs, got up
nnd said Impressively-
"Boss, I tells you whnt we docs. I takes
tho contract See? Thou I sublets nomq
of It to my two sldu partners and wo nil

"Divldo It up to suit yourselves," said

he was feeling llko a wotl pllcnfter a hard

"I'm not n thin skinned man, nm I?" he
inquired very thoughtfully.
"Well," was tho cautious reply, "1 don't
think I ever heard you called n sensitive

"And n fellow has n right to have a girl,
even if her mother doesn't think ho Is n
perfect Jupiter Plutonlus, hasn't he?"
"Certainly," responded tho counselor, lo
tracing some curiosity
"And u fellow has a Krfect right to goto
ace her In hoiiseclcaulng time, hasn't he?"
"There's no law against It that 1 can cite
just now," said tho other man, growing
moro curious.
"And people, can clean house nt night,
can't they?"
"Certainly, if they are squeezed for time
during tho day," and tho philosopher and
friend moved his chair a little farther
away
"That's what I say," continued the
young fellow, not heeding the man who
wns answering his questions, "aud that's
what riles mo, and that's why 1 want to
know what in thunder that girl's mother
meant by sticking her head over tho ban
