Towanda daily review. [volume] (Towanda, Pa.) 1879-1921, 1881-04-13

Very pathetically an English lady cor
respondent to an American journal de-
scribes the anxiety in the ladies gallery,
during the Parliamentary debates on the
Irish question. She writes ''that the
passions excited were scarcely less vio-
lent among those helpless, silent listners,
cramped and crowded in that narrow
cage like wild birds just caught, with
their fine plumage all crushed and torn,
their bright colors all faded Many a
lovely Irish face, whose owner had en-
tered all bright and sparkling, full of life
and JOY at the anticipation of triumph for
the Irish cause, became overshadowed by
degrees as the debates went on, until in
more than one instance a deadly palor
and shower Of big tears had succeeded
to the expression of hope and trust the
countenance had worn. One lady, whose
agitation had incaeased with each mo-
ment, burst into terrific paroxysm of
grief as the members disappeared at the
Speakers summons, and the image of
that pale face and tightly clasped hands,
as she bent over the gaily decorated muff
upon her lap and rocked herself to and
fro has haunted me ever since

rHE BILL.

EDITOR Nrws I have seen with .
great deal Of pleasure the course the
News has taken respecting the passage
Of this very peculiar measure BY our
Legislature. The manner in which 1t
was introduced, the secrecy concerning
the originators Of the scheme. and the
bulldosing Of certain newspapers to pre-
vent public discussion Of the matter.
should arouse the distrust Of every citi-
ZEN who has the welfare and credit Of
our State ct heart. I think there 10
much worse at the back Of this measure
than ws have an idea Of. Ny impression
Is that this lottery is merely an agency
Of the Kentucky Lottery Association,
. gambling venture in the management
of which certain Louisville men have
made their millions. This Kentucky
lottery business wa started some ten
years ago, its bsnsvolsntly ostsnsibls OBJ
iect being to erect Q free library building
1t Louisville. at least that was the bait
with which they caught the Kentucky
Legislature. The lottery Of Arst was .
wonderful success. the first two or three
drawings netting Ito orisinators comfort
able fortunes; but I have never heard
anything moro about the free library
building. Halt . dozen men In Louis
Vile grew suddenly rich out OF the ven.
ture; they had struck . bonanza, and
their idea VA to make that BONANZA q
permanent nj OF income to them.
The name OF the Kentucky Lottery and
its bogus announcements OF the drawing
Of big prizes by poor men all over the
country ceased to attract and dazzle the
poor negroes Of the South, and II was
therefore resolved by the managers. to
extend their operations to other States.
About 1873 they captured the Louisiana
Legislature, and the country was flooded
with circulars and advertisements OF the
next drawing Of the 'Great Louisiana
Lottery! $3.50. 900 in Prizes! Fortune
for S5!" etc. Again the negroes cane
and snapped at the bait. and again their
little savings we're taken In BY the greedy
cormorants In Louisville. That orange
was sucked dry. and the schemers had
to 20 still further aAsld. In 1877 they
descended upon Colorado, and captured
the Legislature 90 easily that It aston
ished even themselves. They then laid
their plans to ''take In" California and
Nevada. and two years ago their bill,
as nearly as possible q counterpart OF
the ono Just passed. was introduced and
passed through n House and was de-
ieated in the other. The lottery men
struck California at the time OF the dis
cussion and struggle over the sew Con.
stitution. and no party wal more ssger
and vindictive in its assaults upon that
instrument than this little clique OF
lottery men. II was then that WAS frat
heard the exclamation that has become
90 familiar to US on the Comstock this
week from It's frequent use by those who
support the bill: "Oh. damn the Con-
stitutiong" What have W. done that our
leading men aud legislators OF both par
ties should thus "fsll down" before q
clique Of Louisville lottery sharper

Bosros, February Is, 18s1.-To the
President OF the Ssnats-Sir: We. the
undersigned. merchants and s~hipownsrs
of Boston, respectfully request that you
will convey 10 the honorable body OF
which you are the head. our belief that
the subsidiary treaties recently neeot-
atsd with China are injurious 10 the In
terests and commerce OF this country.
unjust In their discrimination and effect
against our vessels In the carrying trade
In China, and unwiss and unsalled for
BY any circumstances In the existing re.
lstions between the two countries. We
would respectfully urge upon It. consid.
Grafton. frst. that the terms OF the polit-
icsl treaty are dsrogstory 10 the dignity
Of the United States In dealing with q
semi.civilizsd yet arrogant government;
second, that the conditions Of the DOM.
mercial treaty are not only unnecessary
and useless, our commercial privileges
being already established by previous
treaties 10 the mutual satisfaction OF the
two countries, but are actually hurtful,
and that the result OF that Embassy sent
from our shores to relieve rs from pre-
yious error In diplomacy should be Q new
agreement to our disadvantage In all Its
clauses, seems to n ~ unprecedented a.
IL IL unfortunate.
The memorial 10 signed by John N.
Forbes & Co., and nineteen other msr-
camille Arms. It's positive and sweeping
assertions, unsupported by argument OF
specifications. arc not likely 10 excite
any influence on the Senate ct large. bat
the memorial will doubtless serve to
slimulats the opposition already threat
oned by certain Senators from New
England. It must be said. however.
that the near approach Of the oonstitu.
tional close Of the session. and the great
pressure Of accumulated business, have
now the effect OF making even . small
opposition formidable BY reason Of the
abundant opportunities for interposing
delays. It therefore begins to look a. II
the final consideration OF the Chinese
treaties may after al be postponed for q
special session OF the next Senate.
Chairman Eaton, nevertheless, is.still
hopeful that be will succeed In calling
them up for action before the 4th oil
March, and In this event their promp,
ratification NAV be considered certain.
