Is Raffling Proper and Ought it to
ba Countenanced P
During Christmas seasons ra filing pre
vails to a greaser extent than at any
othor time. It seems to us as truly
gambling as a lottery or any game with
cards or dice, but as it is sanctioned by
polite, fashionable society and tolerated
and practiced to a greater or leaa extent
even in religious circles there does not
exist as strong a publio sentiment
against it as there does against many
other games of chance, but many
ministers and churches are discourag
ing the practice and becoming mote
earnest in advocacy of its entire aban
donment.
Is not the drift of rs filing in the
wrong direotion V Does any one be
lieve that it does not excite desires to
try other games of chance, and does it
not thus bave a tendenoy to lure those
who practice it towards a gambler's
life ?
Is not raffling gambling ? Gambling
ia any kind of a game or scheme in
which thoBe who participate invest
something which they agree to forfeit
without receiving any recompense
therefor if they should prove unsuo
ceasful in the ensuing contest. The
successful party becomes the possessor
of what is invested without putting the
other party in possession of something
of equal value. Ii not this feature,
which makes a gambling scheme of
whatever it enters into, an essential
element of a raffle ? Webster defines
the word ruffle thus: "A game of
chance, or lottery, in which several
persons deposit or furnish a part of the
value of something, and it is determined
by chance which of them shall become
sole possessor. ' Is not one who op'
poses gambling bound thereby to take
a stand against raffling V We leave the
reader to decide.
We invite the Journal readers to a
careful perusal and consideration of
the ideas advanoed above, and also of
the following account of a South Caro
lina occurrence:
"A small sensation was caused in
Greenville.South Carolina, yesterday by

Grand Fox Chase Projected.
The Raleigh Observer says; "Ar
rangements are being made for one of
the greatest fox hunts on reoord in
North Carolina. The hunt will come
off in the next three weeks, and the
hunters will make their headquarters
at Wrishteyille, in this 8tate. Packs
of hounds from North Carolina, Vir
ginia and Pennsylvania have already
been entered and others are expected.
Foxes are abundant around Wrights-
ille, and the country exceptionally
fine for the chase. An invitation to
lovers of the hunt throughout the
country to participate has been ex
tended."
The Behrlng Sea Trouble
Washington, Deo. 18 Everything
points to something decisive being done
in the uehring Sea dispute before very
long, and those who hold close relations
to the State Department say the govern'
ments of the United States and Great
Britain must soon reach an agreement
to arbitrate or come to an open rupture.
The negotiationa were discontinued last
summer, the United States refusing the
proposal of Great Britain to proceed to
investigate the subject on the basis of a
partial or temporary surrender of the
claims which the United States has
maintained ever since the cession of
Alaska by Russia.
There has been correspondence since
the conferences here were broken off,
principally, it is said, concerning the
effect of Canadian poaching in the seal
waters. The State Department had
been stirred up by recent reports of
Professor Elliott as to the danger of the
total extermination of the seal fisheries
and is preparing for a vigorous policy
in case no settlement of the question is
in process of arrangement before the
new season opens. The British Gov
ernment, it ia said, is equally deter
mined to uphold the Canadian nsber
men, and altogether it is predicted
there will be lively times in case an ar
rangement is not reached this winter.
Cleveland our Next President.
The signs of the times show plainly
that Grover Cleveland will be our next
President, and the greatest evidence of
the fact is that Big Ike, the Clothing
man, has equipped his force of seven
olerks with Cleveland white beaver
hats, whioh they will wear in all parts
ot ths city during business hours, and
any one striking or knocking off and
damaging one of these hats in any way
will be prosecuted to the fullest extent
of the law. Two of Big Ike's olerks are
small boys, and it would be well for all
the parents of New Berne to notify
their boys that there is trouble ahead
for them if they trouble one of these
boys in any way.- Parents, take warn
ing and keep your boys out of trouble
and raise them right.
