Pail Mall Gazette. Whatever may
have been the original object Of the
founder of this organization, 1t Is
nov certain that 1t has degenerated
into mere annex OF the Republican
campaign committee Of Cook County.
In allowing itself to be used as a sort
Of distributor OF election mud,
medium for the distribution
OF campaign filth, 1t has wandered
away from the high moral ground
uIOn which it was first placed by III
founder and which is still occupied
by its great predecessor and prOto
type, the Citizens Association. The
latter organization, to give it its due

THE CIVIC FEDERA1iON'S RAID.

Just now there Is q great furOre
over the act on Of an organization
known as the Civic Federation, In
regard to public gambling. II the
Civic Federation was engaged In an
honest attempt to suppress the evil,
and II there was the remotest posi-.
bility OF such an attempt being at.
tended by any degree OF success, THE
EAGLE would say to the movement
"gOd.speed." The facts, are, how.
ever, that no movement Of this kind
has been started In Chicago within
the memory OF man from an honest
motive. In the first place, no think.

clusion that gambling can be to.
tally suppressed. 1t is one OF the
inherent passions OF man and as
such will exist as long as the human
race exists. The Civic Federation
cannot Improve upon the work OF the
Almighty, and make mankind more
perfect than the Creator has. Other
organizations have started In upon
this liae Of work, and after having
distinguished themselves for a short
time, wearied OF their fads and threw
them up.
History, doubtless, will repeat II.

ton. Just at present this institu.
ton is enjoying an immense amount
Of nOtOrlety. After a while this will
dwindle away, and the work will
come down TO petty litigation in
justice courts over the possession OF
walnut furniture, discussion over
writ' OF replevin and one thing or
an ther Of that prossic character.
The newspapers won't give these pro-
ceedings space in their columns.
To be sure, they will be the logical
outcome of the big crusade, but they
will not be sensational enough for
the daily press. Deprived OF the
breath Of its nostrils-notoriety-
the Civic Federation campaign will
quickly come TO an end. 1t is mel

Justice Daniel Scully, one OF the
oldest Justices of the Peace In service
In the city. died at his residence, No.

contracted severe cold, but never.
theless he went to the Desplaines
Street Police Court Monday morning
and attended to his duties as usual.
Justice Scully's sudden death Is
keenly felt by many In this city. His
work In the police courts during the
last twenty years has been most con.
scientious. lie never faltered, his
friends say, to administer the sever.
est punishment TO the man who dc.
served II, and political influence
never had any weight with him.
Many a poor and unfortunate woman
or child who appeared before him In
his judicial capacity charged with
some trivial offense, they also say,
would 90 away from the courtroom

kindness to them.
Justice Scully held the position as
Police Magistrate during all admins
trations, although he was u Republi.
can. Twenty.three years ago he was
appointed Justice Of the Peace for the

Justice Daniel Scully was born In
New York City March %, 1889.
When 5 years old his parents moved

State, and engaged In farming When

The Coal Strike.

A conference between the miners
and operators held at Columbus, O. on
Monday last resulted in an agreement
between the parties and the strikes will
be declared off. 1t being a national
representative meeting it will have a
bearing in all the States. The new
agreement goes into effect June 18th
and continues until May l, 1895. The
strike began April 81 and has lasted
nearly two months, say one-seventh Of
year; this represents a loss IN wages
of ten millions of dollars in round num-
bers and as these wages constitute about
two-thirds of the actual value of the
coal output, we do not see that the
increase Of wages secured will repay
that loss within any reasonable length
Of time.
