Danger in Craps.
From the Maoou Telegraph.
The game of craps would appear
to be a v*ry dangerous form if.
amusement. Governor Vardanian
has ascertained by investigation
that out of 297 homicides in Miss¬
issippi between January 1 and
Noveml>er 15, last, 237 were mur¬
ders of negroes by negroes, and a
large m»jorit of Hi* latter were
the result of quarrelling over
craps.
The Boston Herald promptly
suggests education as mi effective
remedy for (lie condition thus re¬
vealed. Education, though not a
panacea lor all illf, is very useful
in its way. But it may de doubt¬
ed wether it is a sure cure for the
giynbling habit, whether in a crap
den, at Monte Carlo, or in JVail
street. Moreover, in our opinion
it would require several genera¬
tions of time to substitute a taste
for Browning in phice of a passion
for craps. Meanwhile the police
need to keep an *yo on all crop
players, whether they have taken
a course at Tuskegee orjjnot.
