ALEX CAMBRIA.
THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 6.

THE "DRY" people of Virginia, if they are
suffering from their recent defeat can &C.
rive much legitimate and rational consola-
ton from the fact that during last year tne
arrests for drunkenness in Portland Me-
where the prohbitory liquor law prevails
numbered 800, while in Charleston s. g.,
where all that is required for the sale OF
liquor is the payment of license It. tax, sim,
liar arrests numbered only 4S9. They may
be the further disposed to bear their recent
defeat with equanimity by the knowledge OF
the fact that in most of the large number
of divorce cases that disgrace the court re-
cords of the Northern States that have
adopted anti-liquor laws, the assigned cause
thereof is drunkenness. 1t is only the
grace of God, not the laws of men elected
by the votes of reformed drunkards, that
can prevent the abuse of liquor.

A SOUTHERN Congressman, as reported
in the GAzETTE's Washington correspond
ence yesterday, says the legitimate effect Of
the strikers bloody riots will be the revival
of the Native American party. Whether
that be so or not the future only can tell,
but it is undoubtedly true that in several OF
the cities and towns of the Southwest the
result of the recent railroad strike there was
the organization of many ''law and order
leagues" who gave the strikers to under
stand plainly enough that they would put
up with no more "foolshness;" and it is also
as undoubtedly true that while many of the
leaders of the strikers are newly arrived
foreigners, the leaders ofthe leagues referred
to are all native born Americans.

THE COUNTRY is now being drained OF It's
gold to the extent of millions week. The
labor troubles have so alarmed foreign in
vestors in American securities that they are
sending back their bonds and stocks, and
getting gold in return, as that is the only
sort of American money that will pass
abroad. With all the gold leaving the
country and all the silver and paper money
locked up in county, city, State and ma
tional securities, the interest on which is
collected by taxes, the prospect ofthose PEG.
ple who have to work for their
living is by no means pleasing. But the
strikers are either too ignorant or too reck.
less to be deferred from their "sport" by
any such consideration as that referred to-
