A Cincinnati Gambler Gives Some Ex- celIent Advice Concerning the Game.
 From the Cincinnati Enquirer.l
 Flows businessF' inquired Enquirer reporter of well-known Vine street sport the other day.
 "Quiet, dead quiet. Nothing going on."
 ''No faro on the quiet9"
 ''Not @ faro"
 'sNo poker?"
 Damned little. A game or so on the quiet is worked here and there, but on the whole the boys are lying very low just now. By the way see Professor Proctor is com ing over to this country to lecture on whist. I shouldn't be surprised if the old man gave us lecture on draw poker, as there is no telling what those smart cranks won't att tempt. Some time ago the professor wrote 8 made me tired. He is sadly off his base on almost all the points he advances. He says poker is not the gamblers game, as there Is altogether too much science in it and very little chance to resort to tricks. This is just where the professor makes grand mistake. Why, draw poker is the game of tricks. l would like to get into a square game once just to see how it goes. It's the gamblers game every time, just because he can work in his tricks to the queens taste. If the av- craze gambler is not good at poker would like to know what game he can play with any sort of satisfaction. At faro or keno he must either work in with the house or stand his chance on equal footing with the out sider, which you know is decidedly slim; but in poker he needs no paraphernalia, and can play the game on his enemy's ground just as well as on his own.
 "You see poker sharps generally go in pairs, and pair of them can skin alive the best man out. And it does not make 8 bit of difference how many may be in the game, three, four or even seven. the two playing in partnership have everything to work to their advantage. This business is worked so skill fully that it is next to an impossibility to

AN UNREAsONABLE STRIKE.

AN UNREASONABLE STRIKE.
 There have been many foolish and uni jus tifable strikes this year, but perhaps none has been more conspicuously foolish and un- iustifable than that which occurred the other day in one of the great cotton factories of Augusta, Georgia. The hands in the pick CT room of this factory struck without giv- ing any notice of their intention or present ing any statement of grievances. This ac tion necessitated the closing of the mill thus throwing six hundred and fifty operatives out of work.
 The reason that has been given for the strike is that they were not getting enough pay. The managers of the mill made a state ment to the operatives just before the strike, of which statement the following is part: For more than two years the stockholders have received not one cent of dividends, al though not a few of them are dependent women and children. The business of man. ufacturing and selling cotton goods continu- ing to grow worse, it became a question with the directors of the Augusta factory from time to time whether they should not dis continue the business indefinitely. The prob lem was presented then, either to close the mills and save large part of the daily loss of running them, or continue to run them at & loss, and consume the accu- mulated earnings of former years of prosper ity. We tell you but the simple truth, which our book of minutes will disclose, that the controlling argument always on such occasions was this: 'If we close the mills hundreds of employees will be distressed;" and the conclusion always reached was this, to continue the operation of the mills so long as the accumulation permitted us to do so, and thus save worthy people from distress. In pursuance of this policy (a policy of loss to the company, but of kindness to you and your predecessors the company between December IA, 1884, and June 19, 1886, spent over s95, 900. For at that first date there stood to the credit of it's profit and loss ac count $114, 317, and at the last date to the debit of the same account $2 ,066. The diff ference, except $21 ,000, the last dividends paid in January and April, 1884, represents the sum which the company freely contribu- ted to the support of yourselves and your predecessors, your and their families, with out cent of benefit to it's stockholders.
 A strike under these circumstances seems rather ungrateful, to say the least. But of late strikers have paid little attention to facts which ought to have had a strong in- huence upon them.

 The Philadelphia Record has the following to say concerning the capitalist" capi- talist is man who having paid for his break fast has enough exehangeable property re- maining in his possession to pay for his din ner. Yet there are theorists who insist that there will be no happiness until all mankind are deadbroke after breakfast, and no one has anything and everybody has everything.
 Mir. Powderly is not the only prominent agitator who is said to be ready to actively enter the political field. Henry George is said to be willing to run for mayor of New York as the candidate of the Specialist labor" the ''old free soil," the "greenback labor" the Gland reform," and the "anti- monopoIist' parties. If the f'labor move ment" is going to be used in politics the hon. est workingmen will probably not get much good out of it.
 The New York Court of Appeals has just rendered decision of much interest to all who store goods in 'tfreproof' warehouses. In this case the defendant had issued a circu- lar saying his warehouse was freproof. The plaintiff read the circular and stored some valuables in the warehouse. The building took fire and was destroyed. The plaintiff sued for the value of her property on the ground of false representations. She lost her case in the trial court and in the Common Pleas. It was conceded that the owner had represented the building to be freproof. But the lower courts held that such repre- sentation was not statement of fact, but merely the expression of an opinion, for which the defendant was not liable. This decision is overruled by the Court of Appeals. That tribunal says that representing build ing to be freproof is not the expression of an opinion, but the allegation of fact, and that if the statement is false i. is misrepresenta- tion for which the person making it is liable.
