Those who passed through the eventful period when the gambling revenue was amast sed, are of one opinion concerning the chaos which was produced by the de- moralising fatluence of the gambling houses.

As an old resident described it the other day, you had to sit on your property all day, and sleep on it at night, else your servant would have in the pawn-abop. in a twinkling" Suicides umong, res- pectable Chinese became but too com- mor, the victims having previously lost ull their own and much of other people's money. The writer in the Press must have been rather hasty in his contradic. tion of the assertion that thefts were greatly increased, because diskonesty amongst trusted servants was never so rife in this Colony as during the exist fence of the gambling licenses. It may be granted that the Home Gor. 750 rnment objected most strongly on abstract principles to the accumula- tion of a revenue from auch a source, and much sympathy was felt with this objection. But the direct oril effects upon servants in position of trust- European as well as Chinose-were amply sufficient to justify the abandon- Susment of the experiment. We therefore repeat that bitter experience has taught this mercantile community that." in re- spect of the vicious indulgence in public gabling, governmental recognį- tion and regulation is and must be an unquestionable failure. There is no reason to believe that gambling will ever again ba licensed; but the reminder cannot be too strongly put forward that the licensing system proved a hopeless failure from a practical, common ec200 point of view, whatever objections may have been taken to it from a morál standpoint. The only hope, therefore, ust be found in the greater rigour of suppressive measures.
