GAMBLING AT HOT SPRINGS.
\ City Which May be Called the Monaco
nj America,

Hot SPRINGS, Ark, March b.
This city might be called the Monaco Of
America, considering the number Of
gambling houses IN its comparatively
small limits. There are eleven public
gambling houses licensed by the city au-
thorities, and many private club and
poker rooms. The private games" are
run in hotel rooms, back rooms of sa-
looms, and other quiet places, where the
verdant invalid IS taken in at a social
game of poker or tleeced by bunko
sharpers.
Under the State law the keeping Of
gamb bling house is felony, yet the city
authorities practically license these
houses at $50 month each. On the
first day leach month nominal fine of
$50, the smallest punishment, is entered
against the proprietor of each gambling
house, and on that day he pays lis fine,
runs his business without police inter-
rution. and pays another fine the first
of tile mex, month. These houses are
run day and night without any pretense
of secrecy. No more attention is paid
to the protests of the law-abldlng por-
ton of the community than is given to
the complaints OF the visiting strangers
who are feeced.
All the gambling houses were closed
short time ago, and the opponents of
gambling thoughta new era had arrived.
There was at the time a new clubhouse
building. It was to be elegantly fur
nished and 10 be the aristocratic club
house of the city. TO the surprise OF
everybody excepting few on the inside,
work did not cease en- this structure,
which every one knew was intended for
gambling house. Finally it was dis
covered that the gambling houses had
been closed only in favor of the new
gambling syndicate, who wanted mo-
nopoly Of the business. This discovery
caused such kick" by the other gam
blers that the authorities gave way, and
all the houses were permitted 10 reopen
at $50 each per month.
Hot Springs also has a lottery. An
employee Of the Louisiana Lottery Com
pany arrived here few days ago With
his wheel, and began business under
the high-sounding and delusiTe catch
sign Arkansas Investment Company.

"THE NEGRO TALKS TOO MUCH"

This was the blunt and homely ex-
preston | read in an Afro-American
exchange the other day. 1t set me to
thinking. After fairly considering the
question l am inclined to the belief
that the Negro does talk too much,
that is, for his own good. Often in
stead of quietly organizing and pro-
ceeding to work, they sound the loud
alarm, and this is the sum total of their
work When a man goes hunting, as
general thing, he does not commence to
fire off his gun on entering the woods
to announce to the game his coming.
The race resolutes too much and acts
too little To right an injustice, they
meet speak loud and pass resolutions
column or so in length. and then go
home and remain inactive, expecting
that the mere fact of the passage of
their resolutions condemning the evil
to be remedied will effect the desired
result Resolutions are nothing but an
| leans learn that deeds and not express
sions only accomplish results, the soon
er will growing evils be remedied.
Just now the Jim Crow" cars are COM
ing in for series of resolutions, both
north and south What's the result?
Why the resolutions are published, sc
is the fact that the operating of "Jim
Crow" cars is increasing
The progress of the race has been
phenomenal, we agree, but that fact
will not suffice. Prior to an election
no voters are as loud in their protesta
tions as the Negro, yet when the time
comes no voters have crowded into line
with more grace and rapidity than the
Negroes Now of what avail was theil
talk? 1t was simply idle chaff. Beal
in mind, and preeedents innumerabl'
can be found to bear me out, that reso
lutions not supplemented with acts
amounts to nothing, and the evil com
planned of increases, while the effort
that inspired the resolutions relaxe
into innocuous desuetude.
