Does NOT LIKE THE REPORT

Mr.. Powderly Wants the Board Of Arbi.

New YORK, Jan. 23.-The official iour.
nal of the Knights of Labor has an
peared. 1t contains an article by Mr..
Powderly on the recent report of tho
state board of mediation and arbitration
of this state to the legislature. on the
Central railroad strike. Mr.. Powderlv
does not like the report and recon.
mends that the board be abolished. He
says:
''It cannot safely exercise any author
ity or power except to draw salary and
expend the money of the people without
rendering an equivalent. 1t has no au-
thority to demand of conflicting parties
to submit to either mediation or arbitra-
tion. 1t should in all fairness be called

quence and Personal Magnetism" for
the members must coax and wheedle the
corporations into agreeing to ANYTHING.
and after inve stigation is made there is
no power or authority to enforce a decis
ion or even to make one.
"The report in question is unfair, un-
truthful and misleading; it is more than
that-it is malicious, and plainly exhib-
its the ear marks of men who could not
withstand honest criticism, and who
made q state document the vehicle
through which to convey a spiteful

their individual capacity, if at ALL"

board for sufficient state control over

SATURDAY, JAN, oath 1891.
mr. Davis Speech.

The thoughtful citizen, white or
black. democrat or republican, must
read with regret the utterances OF a
political and sectional nature made
by Hon. j. II. Davis, Chairman OF
the Legislative VisitinZ Committee
at the State Normal School 10 this
city Monday last.
The school room is the last place
to teach aud inculcate partisahshlp
and sectional strife and hate. There
can be no excuse for such action
The occasion called for just the op-
posite course. -
Broad craftsmanship would instlll
into the youthful mind doctrines OF
peace and good will, patriotism and
gratitude for good services, whether
fro Northern or Southern hands, ano
ambition to excel in al the walks o.
life.
Speaking as Mr. Davis was TO the
children Of people who have beer
for years, and are DOW, the recipient;
o. the generosity Of the good pt topl'
of the North whose money supports
thousands Of schools here, and ha
educated many poor children, to
school which itself has received lib
eral aid from Northern friends, l
seems to us that a proper sense Q
the proprieties would have restrain
ed him from many Of the utterance
and sentiments expressed
The occasion was not political bu
educational, and should have beer
confined to that b. DAD field

fraught with harm and danger to al

WHAT 1T COST.

A Rather Costly Experience to Secure
Stock in Franchise.
NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-Judge Dugro Of
the superior court, vacated an order for
the defendants examination before trial
in suit by Peter De Lacy against Al
fred I. Walcott and the Rapid Transit
ard Bridge Construction company.
De Lacy says that in July, 1888, Wal
colt induced him to invest $40, 900 in the
stock Of the Chicago and Southside Rap
id Transit company, which was to oper-
ate an elevated railroad in Chicago.
Walcott, he says, told him that they had
to pay $4,000 to secure the franchise
in Chicago. He was assured that he
would be considered an original pro-
moter, and as such entitled to 100000
worth Of stock and the return of 95 per
cent. of his investment. He has de-
manded his money, but without success,
Mr.. Walcott denies that lie made any
Misrepresentation.

THE GRAND JURY AFTER THEM.

Twenty-Seven Indictments Against Race
Track People.
PATERSON, N. j. Jan. 23.--The Clifton
race track people who were indicted by
the Passaic county grand jury-at the last
term of court, had arranged matters, as
they supposed, to hinder any similar ac-
ton by the grand jury now sitting, but
1T is whispered about town that of the
twenty-seven indictments brought in by
the grand jury last Saturday eleven are
against the race track people again as an
association and as individuals, Messrs.
Engeman. Rattersbv, Sass and others be-
ing charged with keeping a disorderly
house.
1t seems that the race track people
have been caught mapping. They did
not suppose that their case would be
taken up so soon, and the evidence gath
cred by the grand jury, although nomi-
nally in the cause of indicting the pool
sellers in town, was really used to indlct
the track and all concerned in it.
1t really begins to look as il the au-
thorities mean business, and the race

convict cannot be made to undergo the
punishment twice, he cannot be legally
subjected to solitary confinement until.

WHERE is YOUR KID?
Several Complaints Lodged in The
Globe Office.
They Say That Festive Boys Play Poker
and Drink Whiskey.
IT ALL MAY OR MAY NOT BE TRUE
People Who Come and Brew
ties Of Interest to All Readers
of The Globe.

During the past week a half dozen
gentlemen of the city have told HE
GLOBE that it would fail in doing its
duty if it did not call to the attention OF
parents the fact that some very bright
and really promising boys put in their
Sundays in the Mangum woods playing
poker for money and drinking corn
whiskey for fun.
THE GLOBE believes that it is none of
its particular business what boys do, or
whose boy does it.
We are only running a newspaper,
and if gambling is in progress out in the
Mangum woods or any other woods on
Sunday, it is none of u affair.
In fact, THE GLOBE has before called
attention to the fact that many of the
bright boys of the town were very reck-
less in other ways than the Mangum
woods.
We have explained that they carried
cards and corn whiSkey to school with
them, and so far as we know they still
do the same.
If we had authority to act We would
tan their little jackets for them; we
would take them to our room and sit
down with them and show them that
they were on the wrong road, and we
would prove it to them, and we would
have them stop their Internal nonsense
nonsense which must finally land them
in the gutter or the penitentiary.
However, it might not be out of place
to state that most any mother or any
father, if they would, could keep their
sons in sight on Sunday.
If they insist on playing cards for
money we cannot help it.
We will not refuse to notice cOmmu-
nications, and we will talk about it, but
at present we are snatching no burning
brands from a jackpot.
