CHICAGO's WICKEDNESS.
How Gamblers, Keepers OF Saloons and
Dives Run the City.

CHICAGO, March Is.
The Daily News published Monday a five
or six column illustrated article prepared
from material gathered by its entire staff
which commenced its Investigations imme-
diately after IL o'clock this morning. The
article is thorough expose of the city ad-
ministratiOn in respect to its attitude to ward
gamblers, saloon keepers, and keepers of
dives and houses of prostitution. Recently
the mayor issued an order that all saloons be
closed at midnight in accordance with the or
dnance passed to that effect.
member OF the News staff was sent to
each of the most popular saloons and the
lowest dives between midnight and one
o'clock, and all were found plying their Gus
tomary trade under the nose of the police.
When the front door was found closed there
was invaribly door in the rear that was not
locked and plenty of customers within. The
dives and concert saloons were as crowded at
one o'clock as at eleven, and liquor flowed
freely. Having shown at considerable length
how the ordinance was a dead letter, the
News proceeds to relate how Carter Harrison,
mayor, is owner of place run by Ed. Hanil,
and patronized by degraded characters of both
sexes, besides being the proprietor of several
other saloons, that no less than nine members
of the present city council are owners of sa-
looms and dives which openly disregard the
city ordinances, that brother of Congress
man, formerly alderman. Frank Lawler, is
part proprietor of THE Buckingham" 4 sa-
loon and dance house of the lowest descrp-
ton, and that several present and ex-county
commissioners whose names are given to-
gether with other city and county officials
are owners of saloon property. The News
shows how in this way city and county Off
clals generally are in cooperation with
keepers of saloons and dives, many of which
are owned by themselves to make imperative
the city and State laws relating to closing
them at midnight and on Sunday.

LABOR TROUBLES.
What Jay Gould Has to Say About the
Railroad Strike.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, March Is.
Mr.. Jay Gould said today that the strike on
the southwestern or Gould system was a
complete surprise to him. The managers
had acceded to all of the the demands of the
strikers and he supposed the war was work.
ing in harmony with them. The present
strike, he said, originated in the discharge of
a man named Hall, on the Texas & Pacific
road, which roaC is in the hands of the U. 5.
court. The road being in the hands of the
court he had no control in the matter, not
even the power of arbitration. He said he
had been advised that great majority of the
strikers were not in sympathy with the move-
ment and would return to work as soon as
thew could be assured of protection by the
the civil authorities. 1t was intended, he
said. to resume operations as fast as this
protection is afforded.
ST. LOUIS, March Is.
circular emanating from the East St.
Louis Assembly, X. of L., was served this

manding an increase of wages for all yard
men. and stating that if the demand was not
complied with BY O'Clock Thursday even
inc. the men will be ordered out.
The Missouri railroad officials have not yet
made any attempt to move the freight trains
upon their road.

A SLOW APPRECIATION.

While it cannot be gainsaid that the
American people hold their military
heroes in great reverence. it is certainly
true that they are very slow and deliber.
ate in the matter of b~estowing monu-
mental honors. The dedication at An
napolis on the 10th instant of the monu.
ment to Baron deKalb is a case in point.
As far back as l78O-one hundred and
six years ago-Congress appropriated
ten thousand dollars for a monument to
this distinguished foreigner. who fell
covered with wounds while fighting
bravely and unsel6shly for American in
dependence, and it has required more
than a century to complete the work
thus authorized. No one who fell in the
ranks of the patriot army in that memor
able struggle more richly deserved such
a memorial, he having given up the COM
forts Of homo and the honors OF a for
eign court to come and help the infant
colonies in their struggle for release from
the yoke of Great Britain, with no hope
of reward save the approval of his own
conscience. No filter inscription for his
monument could be found than the
words uttered by George Washington,
on a visit to DeKalb's tomb in 1871
$50 here lies the brave DeKalb, the
generous stranger who came from a dis

POLITICAL PARTIES ON TRIAL.

Mr.. Powderly was recently asked if
his organization placed more reliance in
boycotts and strikes than it did in the
ballot. His reply was: "No, it does
not. II believes in the iudicious use OF
the ballot, and the discussions which take
place in our assemblies concerning the
laws of the country are in the direction
of teaching the citizen his duty. The
politics of parties or men are not dis.
cussed. The merits of John Jones as a
candidate of one party or another will
not be discussed in our assembly, but the
laws to be enacted by John Jones,
whether elected as Republican, Demo-
crat or otherwise. furnish food for dis
c~ussion. The parties of the present day
are on trial. The million men who are
in the Knights Of Labor are to-day study
ing the science Of government. They, in
turn, will be teachers Of other millions.
and if the parties Of to-day do not heed
the handwriting on the wall and make
American laws for the American people,
the millions so instructed cay form a
party that will do so. There never will
be a political party called the knights OF
Labor, but members of the Knights OF
Labor, in such a contingency as l have
limited at, may one day cooperate with
other thinking men in forming a party
that will keep the country straight in
the lines marked out for it by the found
ers OF the Republic"
