Show "Wi: hope you give thorn fits." "Show thcin 'no inovoy." tliee arid kjndrud remarks have been made to' us id relation rela-tion to the treatment to he glvon to the men who wore taken In tho act of gambling gam-bling last Sunday morning. Now wo do not look at tills matt or in tho light that some of our friends' view it, nud we deeply regret tliat our duty to the community compels us to pnbllMi any-thing any-thing nbouf It. I. is no pleasant thing to bo obliged to tell of theso things, especially when you know that there aro qtlier practices being followed that aro as bad and worse, whoe pcrpetrat ors aro open and deiiant because there js no law against them. Por our part wo never did boliuvc in jumping on to a fellow when ho was down: It lias always seemed ns wrong to us to gamble gam-ble on a horse raco or a foot race cither, as to gamble on a gome of cards; nnd when such gambling is carried on in tho streets to the leading way of tho young nnd thoughtless, and the annoy-anco annoy-anco and hlndcrancc of theso who aro striving for the wclfaro of tho race, it Is even more mlr.ohievous In its eifects than tho gamo which was broken up by the officer. Hut these small transactions transact-ions arts ns nothing to tho lobs pj.it up by some people In the nation who if they were to maho their appearance' I amongst us and their identity ;was but Utiown -would bdalmo8t vorihlpIel,ori, account of their wealth. In this matter mat-ter as in many other transactions in life, tho littlu rascal is punished aud tho big criminal escapes. |
