We pause for a reply.
Remember, gentlemen of the council,
that cur people are aoxious to vote for
the issuance of bonds for a city hall and
market building.
Monday our afternoon contemporary
the Berald, entered upon the tenth year
of its existence. The Times tenders con
gratulations. Manager Capell has pilot
ed the Herald safely through the most
threatening storms that ever agitated the
journalistic sea, and now has his craft
riding calmly and peacefully upon the

1ICAGO TRIBUNE MAN.
of April 34th., the 8t.
Louis Globe-Democrat's Washington cor*
respondent writes to his paper as fol-
lows;
‘The lottery companies received a
black eye from the Treasury Department
today, which, it is thought, will hove the
effect of driving them out of business.
Having been debarred from using the
United States mail, branches of lotteries,
which formerly did business in the United
States, have been established in Mexico.
Under the law printed matter from Mex-
ico can not be refused entry, and each
month lottery tickets have been present-
ed at the custom houses along the Mexi-
can frontier for admission into the United
States. They have heretofore been ad*
mitted without question, but Assistant
Secretary Spaulding has hit upon a novel
plan to prevent their coming into this
country. He has decided that there is
no law to prevent lottery tickets from
being admitted as printed matter, but he
instructs the customs officers to assess
duty upon them at the rate of 35 per cent
advalorem of their face value under par-
agraph 423, schedule M, of the McKinley
bill, which provides for this rate of duty
upou “all printed mattet not specially
provided for.” Tickets of the value of
$10 under this decision will have to pay
$3.50 customs duty. This high rate of
duty will, it is thought, practically pros
hibit their Importation: Being debarred
from the United States mail and from ex-
press companies and transportation lines
the lottery comoanies.will find it difficult
to dispose of their wares in the United
States. The case came up in connection
with the importation of tickets of the
Juarez Mexican Lottery Company.”
And what does all such nonsense
amount to? It is simply an advertise-
ment for the lottery companies and
arouses to action the combative element
of human nature, which is ever striving
after forbidden fruit or in resistance to
the slightest infringment upon personal
rights. It is human nature, the natural
contrariness of the sons and daughters of
Adam and Eve to deny ti any person the
right to say "I know better than yourself
what is best for you.”
And so all this row made by Mr.
Wanamaker will only result in causing
people to purchase lottery tickets who
never before thought of such a thing;
and the imposition of a duty on lottery
tickets from Mexico will simply result in
the company having their tickets printed
on this side of the Rio Grande. Mr
Wanamaker had just as well try to pre-
vent a man from taking a class of wine
when he feels like it as to attempt to pre-
vent him from buying a lottery ticket
when he has made up his mind to make
the purchase.

Sketches U«v« Been Widely IteaU.
Pew American humorists of the pres-
ent day and generation are more widely
known to the resiling public than the
Chicago Tribune man. The tales of the
joys and sorrows of the McSwat family,
and the touching romances in which
Bolivar Pike and Buenavista McCorkle,
George Ferguson and Laura Kajones,
Emersonia Howjames and Young Brod-
weigh are mixed up, are important con-
tributions to the stock of current humor.
It is unnecessary to enter into any mi-
nute analysis of these sketches. They
are thoroughly American in tone, and
are popular because they are extremely
funny. Maudlin sentiment is held up
to ridicule in these short burlesques of

We have been looking anxiously
through the columns of our two afters
noon contempories for several days past
for evidences of hysterics caused by the
double-page cartoon in the last issue of
?uck. entitled “Swinging Round the
Circle.” The picture represents Presi*
dent Harrison's trip through the country.
He is represented as sitting in Baby
dcKee’s carriage, propelled by “Calico
Charley,” with Baby McKee trottling
along at the side with a rattle in biB
hands, the “sudsidized press” of the
country -beating drums and blowing
horns and thB rear of the procession
brought up by the Harrison family sing-
ing “We are coming Uncle Benjimir,
1000 Harrison strong.” How is it that
the Herald and Tribuae have not boiled
over with wrath and called upon Post-
master Wanamaker to prohibit the
paper beine sent through the mails? It
must be according to our worthy contem
poraries, rank treason to thus cartoon
the president of these United States,
judging from their recent comments on a
very dignified and high-toned communi-
cation which was published in the col-
umns of the Times. However. the
opinions of our worthy contemporaries
as to the proprieties of journalism and
politics do not appear to count for much.
The proprietors of Puck and other jour-
nals which dare to criticise a real liye
presidentr ought to send to El Paso and
get editors who know something. While
President Harrison was with us the
Times did then as it would do should he
return to El Paso tomorrow-show him
the honor due his high position as chief
magistrate of the United (Mates, but
while he is not a guest in our house we
claim the privilege of criticising his ac-
tions as Harrison the partisan leader of
bitter partisan enemies of the south.
CHARLES W. TAYLOR.
life »nd manners, and there is a power-
ful combination of genuine wit and the
literary art of the trained descriptive
writer who knows how to put in an ef-
fective background of pathos.
The first sketches of this sort which
appeared in The Tribune were from the
pen of Henry Ten Eyck White, who
wrote the “Lakeside Musings.” It not
infrequently happens, therefore, that Mr.
Taylor is supposed to be their author,
but it takes little study to discover that
the two styles are entirely different, al-
though dealing with the same subjects.
Mr. White stopped humorous writing
several years ago. Mr. Taylor succeeded
him in 1836, in what perhaps may be
termed an accidental manner. He was
at that time city editor of the Peoria
(Ills.) Transcript. He left the paper on
account of his health, and while recuper-
ating sat down one day and wrote half a
column of paragraphs, which he sent to
the Chicago Tribune. To his surprise
they were printed, and an order arrived
for more. In the next eight months he
became a full fledged “funny man.”
Finally he went to Chicago, secured a
pktee on The Tribune staff, and has been
there ever since.
Mr. Taylor has a wife aud three chib
dren, and leads a quiet life, being little
known personally outside of his own im-
mediate circle. He is forty-six years
old and was born in Sciotoville, O. Since
early childhood he has resided in Illinois.
His father was a Methodist preacher, and
his boyish recollections are of the fre-
quent movings incident to an itinerant
calling. He entered a printing office
early in life and began writing in 1873.
Up to the time he went on The Tribune
he was engaged in various journalistic
enterprises in Illinois, and owned and
edited several papers.
