Gold at 1 p. in. 115 Omaha papers are t irnestly discussing tho "inonto" question, and there are numer ous blots to the gambling fraternity to get away from there and save trouble. Omaha is mentioned as tbe "half-way house on the great national highway," to which flock the Chinese, Japanese, Sandwich Islanders. East Indians, Australians, Californians. Ac, going fast, while trnm the other direc llon It has tbo tide of European and eastern American travel continually setting la to ward the wen. All classes, condltioos and races ol mm are daily passing through Omaha. Priest and murderer, noblemen and emigrant, rich and poor, all pasB through tbe city Dearly every day. The ".route" man (lads it a most convenient station to ply bis thieving trade, aud in this particular, to use the Republican's re mark. "Omaha is more cursed than uny other city on this continent, amount ot population being considered.' The extent of the evil may be judged from tbe further remark of the Republican, that '-tbe bml ness man cin bear witness that 1! keeps hundreds of thousands of dollars out of tbe city every year. Tbe immigration - officials know full well that this state could add sev. oral thousands more to her population an anally, if this montn business was effectually ch'Cked." Tbe same paper says further that ''it does not look well tor the chief o1 police to rrateraiZ9witb the monte men, a, Rustln has done, for It gives them courage confidence, and tbe assurance that tbei, criminality will be officially winked at." We should say so. And yet, the main dlfli cnlty appears to be that tbe witnesses fjnec eary to prosecution and punishment can not be indnocd to remain Id the city long enongh to 'secure justice. The Republican can mink of but one legitimate remedy. and In giving that It Incidentally shows that gambling is not regarded as so great a Pouch.
