The city council of New Orleans
has just passed a law making the
game of craps illegal. It does not
matter where it is played, whether
in-the streets, in the cluborat home,
craps is especially singled out as
the most depraved of gambling
: games, not to be tolerated anywhere.
. The game, according to a modern
writer, is of New Orleans origin and
over one hundred years old. Ber
nard de Marigny, who entertained
Louis Phillippe when he came to
Louisiana, and who stood seventy
years ago at the head of the Creole
colony of the State as its wealthiest
and most prominent citizen he was
entitled to call himself marquis in
Prance was the inventor or father
of craps, and brought it into high
favor as the fashionable gambling of
the day. When be laid off his plan
tation, just below the then city of
New Orleans it is now the third
district, but was then the Faubourg
Marigny and divided it up into
lots, he' named one of the streets
Craps, and explained that he did so
Because he had lost the money he re
ceived jrom the sale of the lot on
praps, his favorite game.
The Jacksonville, Fla., Citizen
very appropriately says. The great
pational issue submitted to the
voters in the presidential contest
has been decided, and decided
positively that every sensible man
sees that the verdict must be
pepted. The duty now before the
people is to try to develoD the coun
try on the financial standard that is
tfl be maintained. Particularly is
this the duty of the people of the
gouth. The South is capable of vast
growth. Its resources are immense
and they have scarcely been touched
Its people have paid too much atten
tion to politics" and too little to busi
ness. They have too generally taken
up the Lotion that the government
can make the nation prosperous
stead of holding to the old and true
Idea that success depends upon in
dividual effort. A change in the
financial standard has not been
-A&eeded to enable the South to push
