Here it is:\n\"Poker parties in wliich fair womer\nand brave men desperately gamble\naway their substance, have become the\nrage with a clique of prominent Spokane sociely people living in )\naddition, and while no names are being\nmentioned several elderly won*\nneighborhood are holding up their\nhands in horror. Mrs. Grundy is 01\nthe rampage, and there are delicatt\nhints that the police will bc called upon\nto enforce the new felony law.\n\"About sis months ago several women began to play poker in the neighborhood referred to. At first the parties\nwere held but once a week, and would\nlast only for two or three hours at a\ntime. Of late months it is said they\nmeet three times a week, starting in\nthe afternoon, and often playing until\ni and 3 o'clock in the morning, Thus\nfar the stakes have not been high. It\nis a penny-ante game, and there is a\n10-cent limit on the bets; but for devo^\ntion to the game, it is said, the women\nsurpass Spokane's old-time masculine\npoker fiends who attained international\nnotoriety in tlie days which followed\ntlie Rossland boom.\n\"As a rule the players !wvc been\nwomen, but instances have bewi known\nwhere [he men folks, when ihey went\nlo escort their wives home, have been\ninveigled into taking a hand, nnd have\nbeen heulen lo a frizzle by their fair\nhelpmeets.\n\"Few nl the losings, it is snid, have\nbeen heavy, but 1 here have heen\ninstances where women have heen\nknown 10 lose $40 and $50 at n single\nsitting, nnd where Uils happens two\nor throe tlmun a week il cais a glnu,tty\nliolo In llli) family income.\n\"The losings have not been bo heavy\nns some losings that have been made\nat bridge whist. The horrible word\n* poker,* however, has given Mrs.\nGrundy a spasm, and the west end is\nmore or less agog over llie affair.\n\"The new felony law does not apply\nto a woman or man who merely plays\npoker, bui there is considerable ground\nfor believing thai it does apply\nany person who permits a gambling\ngame to be carried on in hi:\nhouse. The title of the bill\nto suppress gambling resorts,' nnd Mrs.\n, Grwuly's interpretation of tlieliiw\nthat a house where old-fashioned dm\npoker is played for blood two or three\ntimes a week is a gambling resort in\nthe siriciest sense of Ihe term.'''\nFrom our seat in llie clouds il looks\nas though Spokane is gelling unsafe\nfor a young man in society.'- Just think\nof dropping into a mansion to talk\nabout golf, and have the hostess dig\nup a check rack and proceed to open\na game. A shiver of horror would\npermeate our spiritual anatomy if\never ran up against an experience\nthat kind. But then we men are j>\nting less protection every day, and bye\nand bye it will uol-be safe for us lo go\nanywhere. We have been wicked ir\nsome of the days that have gone, bul\nnever yet wicked enough to play draw\nwith a woman. We couldn't hear thi\npain of showing down five aces to somt\nsweet divinity who was bluffing on j;\nfour flush- Il would bend our heart to\nlook into a pair of soul windows, and\nsee the spray coming. We could not\nstand it. She would have to take Ihe\nmoney.even if we walked out of town.\nSo we do not advocate poker playing\nwith women. It would eventually,\nif the custom became general, ruin all\nihe men this side ofthe sissy line. The\nhabit is fatal, even if it would save\nmany a woman from prospecting her\nhusband's packets in the youthful\nhours of the morning.\nThis implies that God could, bestow\nwisdom only by allowing evil\u00E2\u0080\u0094a pleasant wisdom, truly. The origin of evil\nhas always been au abyss, the depth\nof which no one has been able to sound.\nIt was this difficulty which reduced\nso many ancient philosophers and legislators to have recourse to two principles\u00E2\u0080\u0094the one good, the other wicked.\n* * * Among the absurdities abounding in this world, and which maybe\nplaced among the number of our evils,\nthai is not the least which presumes\nthe existence of two all-powerful beings combating which shall prevail\nmost in this world, and making a\ntreaty like the two physicians in Moti-\nere: \"Allow me the emetic and I resign\nto you the lancet.\"\u00E2\u0080\u0094Voltaire.\nTHE\nAuditorium\nOF THE MINERS' UNIOKl BLOCK\nIs tbe only hallhi the city suited for Tlieatrl\nANTHONY SHILLAND\nSecretory Sandon Miners' Union\nSANDON, B.

We are as far off as ever from the era when poverty\nwill be unknown, and it seems to be entirely owing tc our\nadoption of wrong methods. Legislators have been weighed\nand found wanting, and we must try to do for ourselves what\nwe have so long been expecting them to do for us. /While\npoliticians are squabbling over locomotive contracts, lines of\nrailway, contracts for 'war material, banking, broking and\nspeculating privileges the people are losers, and they alone\nare interested in reform. If the future is to be better than\nthe past, legislation, as a great French sage has said, must\nconsist of repealing and abolishing old acts of parliament\nand ancient class privileges, but in even this, perhaps,\nlegislation will refuse to act, or* will prove a failure. Political\nmethods have broken down, and the laborers of the world\nmust try something else, and, the new method which is already commanding attention for itself is non.political or\nvoluntary co-operation.\nFREEDOM OF SPEECH.\nrreiv\nOeneral Store.\n*. nmuui, THREE FORKS, dealer In\n_ .

One day in Ashville, a\nnegro, who Jshowed by the marks on\nhis dress that he was n whitewash\nartist, was on tlie outskirlsof the crowd.\nA lawyer of local note spoke to him:\n\"Are you going to thc war, Jim ?\"\n\"What I goin' to de wnr fur?\"\n\"To fight for your country, of\ncourse.\"\n\"I don't know within' 'bout fightin'.\"\n\"That won't do, Jiiiij Thc last war\nwas all about you niggers, and this\nlime you've got lo do the fighting.\nThis is your country now and the niggers must be made lo save it.\"\n\"Who goin' to make the nigger\nfight ?\" asked Jim in ii sulky tone,\nand showing more while in his eyes\nthan usual. \"How yarijoin' to make\nde nigger* fight ?\".\n\"Oh, we'll make them light easy\nenough,\" said the lawyer. \"We'll put\ntlie uiggcifc in I'roul, uiul llntn Aie ahhc\nsoldiers will stand behind and make\ndie niggers do the fighting\"\n\"'Pearsto me,\" aatdjim slowly, and\nwilh much gravity, \"dat tie while folk*\nis gittin' ready to be run over.\"\nFreedom of speech in ancient Rome and freedom of\nspeech and printing now differ not in principle, but only in\nform. This freedom is the conservation of liberty, the protector of the small against the great, the indispensable condition of all social improvement; it is the real life of a nation;\nfor what is a nation or a man unless the tongue can utter\nwhat the mind conceives and tell it to all countries and to\ntimes? So we see that in modern states, where power is\nusurped, the suppression of freedom of speech always follows the usurpation, for this freedom is inconsistent with\nthe continuance of any power which is not founded on general consent and maintained by public opinion. In a demo?\ncratic constitution, where the men who hold the executive\npower contemplate the accomplishment of some purpose by\nunconstitutional means, the suppression of freedom of speech\nand printing is the certain sign that tyranny is approaching.\nThe instrument that is used for this purpose is the citizen\n\"rniirself,\"^lToTFconverted~into soidierpina-hired at the cosT\nof his own fellow citizens to deprive them of their liberty.\nAN IMPOSSIBLE FEAT.\nA north Missouri editor received a\nnote the other day telling him that one\nof his subscribers was dead, and asking\nthat his paper be discontinued. A few\ndays later the editor met the deceased\nsubscriber on the street-, and told him\nabout the notel I wrote that note\nmyself,\" returned the subscriber.\n\"What for?\" asked the editor. \"Well,\nI wanted to stop yer paper,\" said the\nsubscriber, candidly, \"an' knovvin' how\nbad you need the money I [didn't liave\ntlie heart to come right out and do it.\nSo I jes' wrote you the note about\nbein* dead.\" \u00E2\u0080\u00A2\nAt a certain London church the collection used to be made in nicely embroidered bags, but so many old buttons and stale pieces of chocolate being\nput in, it was decided to try plates instead. The ft st Sunday the usual\nnumber of pennies and three-cent\npieces were put in, but among thein a\nbright yellow shining piece was observable. On Monday morning there\nwere more callers than usual at the\nvestry, some of them with the same\napplication. After a short in'erval another came with the same, \" Oh, I am\nso sorry, but I put \"a sovereign into the\nplate yestterday by mistake. Could I\nhave il, as I really cannot afford it?\"\n\"What?\" said the vicar, \"you are\nthe fifth that has been to see me this\nmorning with the same application, bul\nthe church warden has just told me\nthat the supposed sovereign is only a\ngilded shilling!\"\nCharlie was an usher at the church\nwhich Senator Depew occasionally attends.

The ruffians were\nnot found, and the sheriff\" finally concluded to look for them\non the ranch of Mary Silva's father. There the ruffians\nwere found and their name was John Diaz, a farm hand,\nand friend of the family. When locked up, John confessed\nthat he was the father of the girl's uuborn child; that, fearing exposure, the girl hatched the story; that she stole the\nchain from a neighbor's gate, and he used his bycicle padlock; that she requested him to fasten the chain so tightly\nthat it would bruise her wrists; that she arranged the time\nof the imaginary assault skillfully, so that he, Diaz, would\nbe ostentatiously at work around the yard of her father's\nhouse. When Diaz had finished these startling admissions,\nMary also confessed that they were entirely true.\nIt was, perhaps, fortunate that no brace of tramps were\nfound by the enraged citizens when they were scouring\nContra Costa county. Not that any of us set great store\nby the lives of a couple of tramps, but still they might have\nbeen lynched, aud it is jum as well not to have a lynching\nwhen thc gentleman lynched turns out to be thc wrong gentleman\u00E2\u0080\u0094and wc very much fear that at times he often is.\nIt would afford but little satisfaction to even a tramp who\nhad been lynched to learn in the sweet by and by that his\nfame had beeu restored by the coufession of the real criminal\nTruth is mighty, and will prevail\u00E2\u0080\u0094the eternal years of God\nare hers; but, as Tom Reed said, she needs every one ol\nthem. The truth about crimes for which men arc lynched\ndoes not always come to light. It is a wise child that knows\nits own father, and it is a wise mob that knows the right\nculprit.\nThe fact that Mary Silva was mouuted on a horse when\nthe imaginary ruffians attacked her, recalls thc fact that in\ntho Cnl-ifnrmn rennrf*. there is a storv of another yotnic woman I V^V\nTi.i -ri [ whosiV ilns:u.fu. l;iJc toJJy ^ot nr, hi^h n-. tVic r.nprcme court.

After the sheriff had captured Poor Lo, he gave him a sound\nlecture on the depravity of his conduct.\nThe Indian listened stolidly to the reprimand and finally asked:\n\"No way Injun get outer this?\"\n\"No one can help you now but God,\"\nwas the reply.\nSadly ihe prisoner shook his head.\nThen he muttered: \"God heap like\nUncle Sam; Injun never see Him !\"\nEXCURSION RATES\nEAST\nST.
