A RAID ON SALEM AVENUE.
Thirteen Men and Vernon Captured Over
POteot's

Poteet's.
1t is not always Railroad avenue.
This fact was clearly demonstrated last
night police raid on gambling and
bawdy house on Salem avenue at 10
o'clock at night, when the streets are
full of people and all the lights aflame,
is something to be watched for more
than circus parade.
For some weeks the rooms over Po-
teet's saloon have been occupied bv
thieves, gamblers, strumpets and boot
blacks. Their noise of nights was so
terrible that persons living in adjoining
buildings could not sleep. L. Delaney
lodged complaint with tho chief Of
police. The chief has had eye on the
place for some time. He was Just wait
ing for this. Yesterday evening he
swore out warrant for the inmates.
About 1890 O'Clock, the chief, Ser
geant Jones, Officers Merriman, Rigney,
Bower, Lock and Flick gathered
stealthily at the front entrance from
different directions. The chief COM
manded the raid and was ably assisted
by Sergeant Jones. Up the dark stair
way they went. Then there was a
crash. A door flew open. This was
followed by two more crashes and
two more doors flew open. There were
few sitting screams and all WIS
quiet
There were three rooms, two fore and
one aft, divided by corridor. In the
rear room were seven negro men who
had been playing poker. Bob Armis-
tead, A. Sheppard, William Lavender,
John Hall. Moses Anderson, Bob Cole
man and jeff Younger were taken
in charge with their pharaphernalia.
Three gambling tables with a hole in
the center and drawer underneath, a
small cupboard full of cards. poker
chips and dice and few chairs wore
the furniture. The door was provided
with u wicket, through which the pass
word had to be given.
In the front rooms Mary Bruce, Char
lotto Booker, Bette Price and Lula
Patrick, known otherwise as Mary
Bruce & Co., were found in state OF
disorganization.

Just thon closet was discovered in
the rear part OF the corridor. The
chief opened the door and made several
rakes with his cane. There was a
fendish yell, and Jim Crook, the boot
black, was pulled out. The chief made
another dive with his cane, and rousted
Wesley Lockett, q we'll known vsgrant.
Orders for o march to the station
house were given. AS the motley crowd
filed down the steps the streets were
lined with spectators. 1t was q great
time. The big chief brought up the
rear. Some ono clapped their hands,.
Arriving at the station house the four
women and two men were bailed. Two
other negroes were discharged and the
remainder were locked up. The whole
crowd will be tried Monday morning.

exhaustion Is the result of English rule and Eng
lish Policy. II Is the only country in Europe
which has not felt the impulse OF the modern
industrial movement. It's industries have been
paralyzed, its manufactures have been destroyed,
its commerce has been driven from the seas, its
cities have been drained of their surplus pop
ulaton, and its people have been forced back
upon the sol. either 10 perish in famine times
or to take refuge in Australia, Canada and the
United States. Under English rule and Free
Trade the island has been reduced to the ex-
tremity of misery. Irish history during the
present century has been, as Mr. Depew said in
two of his finest episrams, q" a monotony OF hor-
rorsv 1.-THE paradox of nations" Irishmen come
to America with resentful feeling against Eng
land. They have an overmastering conviction
that the ruin of their beautiful island has been
wrought by English legislation and economic
policy: vet no sooner are they here than they
ally themselves in a solid voting mass with that
political party which is in sympathy with Eng
Iish Free Trade. In Ireland it is enough for
them to know what English policy is, and they
vote against it to a man. In America they are
well content to do precisely what Englishmen
want them to do-to mass themselves against the
against Protection.
1t was not Mr.. Depew's function to make po-
litcal capital for his party while delivering his
fine address at the Academy of Music. The
economic condition of the island as affected by
English Free Trade wa; not converted by him
into an argument for American Protection. He
did not abuse the privileges of non-partisan
occasion. The main moral which he drew from
Mr. Parnell's life was the superiority OF conSti-
tutional over revolutionary methods. That was
the final product of his intelligent analysis of the
Home Rule agitation Mr.. Parnels task, as he
described it, was to bring together four millions
of his countrymen and to convert thirty millions
of an alien race to the justice of the cause OF
home government-of government by and from
the Irish people. When the day comes that the
Irish can legislate for themselves, the era of in
dustrial revival and commercial restoration will
dawn and it will " illumine the homes OF con-
tented, happy and prosperous people," That
will be the benefcent triumph of the cause OF
Irish Home Rule.
Meanwhile, the Irish in America are doing
everything that lies within their power to fight
Englands industrial battle by voting solidly
against American home government and eco
nomic independence. They know where to
look for an orator for their Parnell memorial
meeting and they find him among the leaders
of the Republican party. But they vote steadily
against that party. 1t is the strangest anomaly
Of their politics that the logic OF their own ex-
perience does not drive them out of the DEM
ocratic party, committed to Free Trade, into
the Republican party, where they naturally be-
long.

MP DEPET AND THE IRISH.


The choice of the orator for the memorial
meeting in honor of Mr.. Parnell was significant.
About nine out of every ten lrishmen in America
we're Democrats, but when their representative
leaders in the political stronghold of that party
locked about for an eloquent speaker who would
do full justice to their fallen hero and statesman
they selected one of the most conspicuous and
most unoompromising Republicans. Mr.. De-
pews grafton was mastery eulogy of the char
acter, public services and fighting power of the
greatest of Irishmen. No tribute which has been
paid to Mr.. Parnell by men of his own lace
has approached it in elevation of style, richness
of dicton. breadth of treatment and profound
and intelligent sympathy with the tendencies
of the Home Rule movement. BY virtue of the
perfection and finish of his oratorical gifts Mr..
Depew was without rival for the honor of de-
lvering this Grafton, but he could not have
shown keen dscernmcnt of the political forces
Of the Home Rule agitation, nor sympathetic
appreciation of the economic results of English
rule in Ireland, if he had not been Republican.
The leaders understood this when they passed
over the Democratic orators OF the day and in
vited Republican TO prepare eulogy which
would be read by lrishmen throughout the world
rs the noblest tribute to Mr. Parnell.
There is no anomaly in the political world so
striking as the attitude of Irshmen in America
toward the parties of the day. Their own island.
as they all frankly admit, has been emptied of
population aud brought to the verge Of economic
