Enterprise and Robbery.

Strange that these two words ap-
parently SO opposite should appear
in juxtaposition. The letter Of Sher-
if Hall, elsewhere in the PLAIN
DEALER, and the facts elsewhere elic-
tied warrants their use and the rela-
ton given them above.
To get at the diabolism OF the
transaction, imagine vast collection
Of people gathered together by
various artful devices and schemes,
coming unarmed and expecting a
kindly reception and generous well
come, only to be confronted by q
band Of marauders previously ar
ranged for, armed and equipped to
rob and plumber.
This is our situation precisely. A
loud mouthed friend and would be
political servant Of the dear people,
a humble follower professedly of the
meek and lowly Jesus, goes to Chica-
60 and sells q band OF thieves the ex-
elusive privilege Of plundering the
people whom he might induce to at
tend an agricultural fair, for the pal
try sum Of $500. Shades Of 1scariot.
This precious gang Of thieves con-
sisted Of nine persons, the leader
among them was known by the name
Of Gray, though his real name might
have been something else.
This precious grang Of gentlemanly
appearing scoundrels had their rolette
table SO arranged that the person in
charge had it under absolute control,
and could take every dollar wagered
II he desired. Small sums were al
lowed to be raked in now and then
to delude the public with the idea
that it could risk its money with a
chance to win.
While this robbery was going on
where was our County Attorney and
what action was he taking to protect
the unsuspecting who were being
robbed? The public are anxious to
know. 1t also would like to know
what share Of the money won would
fall to John McHugh who procured
their presence at our doors. !

GAMBLING AT THE HOWARD COUN.
TT FAIR.
A Statement by the Sheriff.
TO THE PUBLIC.

TO THE PUBLIC.
MR.EDrToR:-I have been censured more
or less by some Of the citizens Of Howard
county, Tor not doing my whole duty as
sheriff, in allowing gamblers to carry
on their nefarious games Of different
kinds on the fair grounds during the
fair for 1889, and the one for 1890 just
closed.
Last year was frustrated in my endeav-
or to suppress the gamblers who we're
swindling the people, by the officers Of the
Howard County Agricultural Society. l
managed to stop the gamblers for short
time, but the President and Secretary
told them to SO ahead and they would
see them through. After . good deal
OF talk the officers gave me their word
that the gamblers would not be allowed
on the grounds to carry on their business
in the future. Notwithstanding their
statements to the contrary, they adj
mitted. during the fair just closed,
gamblers, and allowed them to carry on
their regular business gambling and
swindling the unwary-and when stop
ped the man proceeding with his gsmbl-
ing he at once notified John McHugh,
the Secretary, Of what had done. Where
upon the Secretary told him that the So
ciety would run the game, and the man
who had charge Of the business stepped
out aid told me that he would not have
anything further to do with il as the 50.
ciety was going to run it. at once mott
fed the Secretary that the society had no
more right to run gambling than other
individuals, and il they persisted in their
endeavours to gamble / would arrest
them just the same a. / would any other
criminal or criminals.
retired from the fair gounds shortly
after the above transaction and have
since been informed that tho Secretary
instructed two or three special police to
arrest mo il ! made my appearance on the
Igrounds again interfering with the bust
ness Of the gamblers.
After hearing tho above l saw the
President. told what I had heard, and
that was going TO the fair grounds in
the morning (Fnday) and il I saw any
gambling l was going to put stop to il
at once, il had to stop the whole pro-
ceeding Of the fair in order to do 90, as
then considered the society had placed
themselves in the same position az the
gamblers themselves.
Friday morning l went to the fair pre-
pared to do as said I would, but the
gambling institutions had closed.
In conclusion ! will say that in the fn.
ture there win be no gambling allowed
on the fair grounds as long as I am
Sheriff, il there is Law on the statute
book to bear me out, and I believe there is,

The recent strikes on the Central
and Hudson river railroads, have re-
suited in settling none OF the ques- |
tions involved on their merits. |
Thro ugh the failure of the labor or
CARNATIONS to concur and act in har-
mony, the cause of the strikers is lost
for the present. That their failure is
o settlement Of the questions is no
more true than the repeated failures
of the Abolitionists was settlement
Of the slavery question. Every ques- |
tion settled as that has been, remains
an open one and will be rene wed at
intervals with all its attending evils
and losses to the public as well as to
the strikers.
All the labor organizations which
refused to take part in the strike,
were unanimous in condemnation OF
the railroad management against
which the strikers were in revolt.
Where there is wrong SO uni
yersally alleged and conceded there
must be a remedy, and the constant
agitation of the matters involved
with the facts constantly elected are
educators which in time will enable
the public to apply the remedy. Dur
ing the administration OF Horatio
Seymour as governor Of New York,
occurred one of the first strikes, and
that sturdy old democrat unlike Gov.
Hill, notified the railway managers
to arbitrate their difficulties with en-
ployees within twenty-four hours, or
that he rs governor of the state
would assume the control and man.
agement of the road and have it OPP
Grated. The effect of this notice was
to end the strike within the time CIV
en- and to the satisfaction Of labor
and probably to the interest of the
road, as nothing has since occurred
on the line until the present.
Had Gov. Hill been other than a
yassal of the corporations they would
not have been permitted to invade
the state with an army Of hired as
sassins to intiict violence and death
upon peacable and unoffending peo-
ple as was done in Albany.
The precedent that Gov. Seymour's
proclamation establishes is useful in
educating the people in the right Of
the state, and it should be equally
useful in educating them to elect
Governors who will exercise the pow.
ers OF the state when through causes
such as occurred in New York recent.
". the railroads are not operated and
and the general public is injured
thereby.
II because of strike or other cause
q railroad ceases to be operated, the
franchise granted for the public bene'
fit becomes valuless to that public,
and can only be made available
through the authority granting the
privilege, which should manifest itself
in taking charge of and operating the
road. This looks to state or govern
ment supervision and control Of thu
roads and eventually this must be the
result. Its postponement depends
upon he caution of the management
about provoking strikes to the detri.
ment to the public.

Special Dispatches to THE MORNING CALL.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 13.-Secretary Rusk,
in an interview to-day upon the excitement
in the grain markets, caused by fear of short
crops, said: "Of course. the fact that there
was slight falling off in the quantity Of
crops had its effect upon the markets, but
the tendency has been upward, as far as
prices are concerned, on all cereals. I
attribute the increase to other causes
than the shortage in crops. The statement
that this has been the lghtest yield for
twenty years cannot agree with, although
this may be the case with the barley crop.
A shortage in the yield of some cereals
was anticipated in-my June report"
''You do not apprehend any squeeze?"
"Why, not a bit The Government re-
ports have considerable influence on check
ing any complicated corner, and everybody
is enabled to know the precise condition Of
the crops"
"Is it fact that the report is the most
unfavorable ever issued?" was asked.
mot at all. The cotton crop is extra
ordinarily good. Oats are probably lower
than they have been for twenty years. but
that is the only weak point. with the excep.
tion of the barley crop, which was very pro-
life last year, however"
"How is the quality ?"
"Uniformly fair except as l have stated,
with oats, which are not only short but poor
in quality. l think this country should raise
less wheat and impor. less barley. We ex-
port wheat and import barley. and there is
no reason why we should not raise it all"
