      The Subject Of Our Cartoon This Week Is ...

      the greatest loser : every penny that can be screwed out of their estate has gone to the Ring and to the usurers . The meaning of this long disquisition on the financial aspect of the question is , that herein lies the ground on which the Government of the country has a right to interfere with the mad excesses of gamblers . It is not an injury to themselves only , or to their helpless wives and children , that these villains do : it is an injury to the State ; and on that ground we most decidedly advocate the interference of the law with madmen whose insanity takes the form of squandering their wealth , and their good name , in card-playing and horse-racing ; with the rogues , whose roguery takes the form of inciting young men to me this ans madness of continuing , of encouraging it . them in it , and of giving them We do not consider interference with individual liberty a desirable thing , but here it is decidedly necessary ; and we trust that a law will soon be passed similar to that which exists in some of the American States , whereby the authorities or next of kin are able to intervene in cases of reckless extravagance , and secure the property of the young fool from the depredations which he , and rogues , are making on it . tion As to but the we immunity would like of Clubs to ask , —that if is Club a more were difficult to set ques an - opposition ; to the night-houses , whether , any the police could up not interfere ? On the grounds of common sense and justice , they ought to be able to interfere with these private gambling-hells which now exist openly in our midst , and defy alike the law and decency . To appeal to the good sense of the aristocracy themselves to set their faces against a monster which is mainly of their own creation , and by whose devastating hand many of their most wealthy and high-born members are daily falling , is , we fear , useless . The co-operative principle has been much , developed lately ; but it never has , and , we fear , never will , be employed in this Christian country as an agent in the cause of morality ; as a means of fighting against those gigantic evils which , bred and fostered by the internal corruption of society , are , we trust y gradually eating away that fabric ; for on its ruins there will be erected some institution under which the simple and pure principles of right and wrong will be honestly recognized and practised .
