Virginia New Chronicle.
Since the recent healthy rise in stocks the
spirit of gambling seems to have taken an
unusually strong hold on the community
For months past the metaphorical tiger has
been lying in his lair in sort of lf-dor-
mant state, as if troubled with torpid liver.
During the past two weeks, however, the
gamblesome gentry who hunt for big game
have invaded his retreat, and he is now on
all tours, crashing his teeth and thrashing
the jungle brush savasely with his tail. On
Thursday afternoon there WAS a stiff game
over the International saloon. The first
man who attracted any attention was an old
San Francisco sport, who, after few preli M
mary moves, began to prod the 'tiger'' up
with bets stacked to the limit all over the
table.
''That's Old Moses from Frisco" said a
locker on, land when he gets started you'll
see the fur f1y.''
The man was right, for in few minutes
Old Moses closed with his antagonist in dead
earnest by inquiring of the dealer if he could
be allowed to raise the limit to 800. The
dealer graciously allowed the privilege, and
Moses lost several hundred dollars in few
turns, at which he asked if he could raise the
limit again, and, obtaining the kind permits
sion of the dealer, was soon playing up to
5000 bet, being sometimes $1,000 or so
ahead and sometimes SO much behind.
Several other parties soon slid into the game,
betting up to the limit and creating consid-
cradle excitement, until there was such
crowd about the table that those on the
outer edge of the spectators could only now
and then get sight of the dealers bald
head. One player drew out 1000 when he
left. Yesterday afternoon stranger came
| in, made a few four-bit bets and then sur
prised the dealer by stacking pile of 500
pieces in front of him and playing up to the
800 limit. He won heavily all the after
noon and, coming back flushed with victory
in the evening, lost his luck and was badly
mangled by the tiger. To-day the game is
doing a heavy business, and men who play
there are expected to do SO on gold basis.
Red and blue chips are the rule, all of which
is considered good, indicating that business
is picking up and moLey is getting CON
siderably easier than it has been for many
months.

AN unintentional injustice was done Indian
agent Ruffee, of White Earth, in yesterday s
GLOBE by the allegation that the advertise
ment for the mill, and mill-dam at that
place had made it's first appearance on Sun
day, while bids were opened on Monday.
1t appears that the Commissioner of Indian
Affairs ordered the advertisement inserted
in the Pioneer Press, but that paper has
been so much in the habit of playing into the
hands of the contractors that it concealed the
notice as much as possible by locating it in
an obscure corner. Mr.. Ruffee sent in the
advertisement ten days ago, and on coming
to the city on Saturday he found it so con-
cealed that he ordered more conspicuous
publication for the remaining period. This
led to the Misrepresentation upon which the
GLOBE comment was based. Mr.. Ruffee did
his entire duty in the matter.

Who is it that is hurt ? And when the
craze is over and there is Encouragement
of lines, which party will form the most
compactly and readily? The Democratic
party has been through several crises and
has had its "cataclysims'', but it has always
survived to bury it's antagonist. We invite
our esteemed Republican contemporaries
to remark that this National movement is
going to cost their party several States and
not a few congressman, and in view of this
circumstance may we not invite them, in the
words of Mr.. Dickens's reduced gentlewo-
man to her would-be benefactor, to "dissem-
mate their goose in their own sphere?

IT is not probable that the threatened
disturbance of the Cheyennes in Wyoming
will culminate in serious damage to the set
tiers. The Indians are usually careful to
avoid exciting the animosities of the whites
on the verge of winter. They cannot con-
duct war without grass for their horses,
and besides, the time is approaching when
they receive their annuities, and they will
not run the risk of losing their winters sup
ply of food and clothing. We think the set
tiers are unnecessarily alarmed over the pres
ent movement of the redskins.

IT is about time for Hannibal Hamlin to
make another flop. 1t will be remembered
that when the Republicans first carried
Maine twenty-five years ago Hannibal, who
was then the Democratic United States Sen
ator, resigned his seat and joined the Repub-
icans amid storm of applause from his
new associates. 1t is now in order for him
to transfer his allegiance to the Greenback-
ers, although he is pretty old and his joints
may be a little too stiff for turning summer
saults.

The husband showed some indications of
grief, but consoled himself with drink as

Chicago Times.
A narrative illustrating the depth of de-
pravity to which man may descend was
recently related to Times reporter The
story opens in an interior county of Illinois,
where resides farmer whose broad acres of
fertile prairie and sleek herds place him and
his family above the knowledge of want.
Five years ago this family circle was adorned
by daughter, fair beyond comparison with
her young associates, and rarely accomplish
ed for one whose life had been spent upon a
farm. 10 this family appeared, about the
time indicated, young man of pleasing
manners and fashionable attire, claiming to
be in good circumstances in Chicago. His
account of himself was not entirely satisfac-
tory to the farmer, who noticed with alarm
a growing fondness in the chances his daugh-
ter cast upon the th-spoken stranger.
Parental opposition in this case, as in SO
many similar instances, only added fuel to
the flame of kindled love, and the young
couple found means of carrying on clandes-
tine meetings, until one day the rash girl
agreed to

telling them she could not live apart from

in her chamber, and departed with the young
man at night. The father was man of

keep his daughter from want. This hope
proved futile, as the father refused to hold
any communication with his hayward child
and her worthless husband. The latter was
soon driven to extremities for the money
necessary to keep him in liquor and cigars,
and it was not long before he more than

expression, Turing his victims into his
net, and plunging them into fiery
depths. They appear to fallinto nest
of burning scorpions, where they are
tantalized by a glimpse of their friends

water. In the next scene, Satan takes
the form of an immense dragon, with
his human victims crouching in terror
at his feet. They are mercilessly dragged
into court, and the Judge is represent
ed as condemning them to be tied to
rocks and to have red-hot lead poured
down their threats. They are then

ments. The victims are nextportrayed

Address Of the National Executive Com.
mfttee Of the Socialistic Labor
Party.
CINCINNATI. June Il

CINCINNATI, June II.
The following circular was issued,
to-day, by the National Executive Com
mittee OF the Socialistic Labor party:
To all Sections and Members of the Socialistic
Labor Party:
The National Executive Committee has been
informed that a few of our party members
have associated themselves into military or
CARNATIONS in several localities, instigated
thereto chiefly by mistaken apprehension
that such course is necessary to the prOtec-
ton of their rights as Socialists. The party
authorities would not deem it any part of
their duty to interfere with such action were it
not attempted by these military organizations
to secure recognition ut the hands of the Social.
lstic Labor party, and that it is possible in some
instances that such organizations may have
had the countcnance and encouragement of the
local Sections. Inasmuch as no warrant for
such organizations can be found in the plat
form or Constitution of the party, the pro.
ccedings of either the party Congresses and
acts of the Executive Committee or Board of
Supervision, the said organizations are re-
garded by the Executive Committee as occupy-
ing a position of hostility to the principles and
policy OF the Socialistic Labor party, whether
SO intended or not.
We therefore request all party members to
withdraw from such military connections, and
urge all Sections to avoid any official connec.
ton with such bodies, and that no arms be
carried in the professions. If parties thus
banded with arms insist upon joining our
professions against the wishes of the Sections,
such Sections are advised to compel compli-
ance with their orders.
