CHANGING THE LIMIT.
How the Race Track Amendment
Came to BE offered in the Senate


1t transpires that the apparently irregu-
lar amendment to the pool-selling law in
troduced by Senator Gibson on Tuesday
was in fact authorized by a majority of the
members of the District committee. Sen
ator Gibson said yesterday TO a Star re-
porter: The history of the amendment is
very simple. Yesterday morning before
leaving for the Capitol was waited en- by
gentleman interested in the Ivy City race
track, who pointed out to inc the fact that
the Commissioners substitute for the
Blackburn bin, while 1t purported to avoid
any discrimination, in reality operated to
give the privilege of race meetings to one
track while denying it to the other. The
Ivy City track is just within the mile limit
and the Benning track is outside, 50 that
what was intended to be an undiscriminat-
ing bill was really not such. l assured the
gentleman that this was not the desire or
intention of the committee, but IN fact that
the matter had been discussed and we had
been practically in accord in the opinion
tnat we should not discriminate between
the tracks. When L came Up 10 the Sena,e
met Senator Blackburn, The author OF
the original BILL and mentioned the matter
To him.
Nv n.y. he said, taking the bill, that IS
liked easily enough. Just put i'll here the
word halt and SO bring he limit down to
iaciuue lNe Ivy City track. DO L look the
bill to Senator Harris, the chairman OF the
committee, who told me that / mad the bill
entirely in my charge, being chairman of
the subcommittee, and that l might 60 to
the different members of the committee
and submit the matter 10 them-poll The
committee, l believe he called IL. So /
went to Mr.. Hunton and 20 Mr.. Faulkner,
MIR. Mcmillan, MIR. Wolcott and Nj. Hans
brough, all OF whom agreed to the amend
ment. IN this l was accompanied by Mr..
Harris, the clerk to the committee. Thus
L secured the assent of five Senators, who,
with myself, constituted a majority OF the
committee. l also went to Senators Gal
linger and Proctor, who are opposed to all
racing, and who, as you know, presented
a minority report against The bill. They
told me that they didn't care what limit
L put in the bill, as they were against 1t
anyway.
That is the way the amen 1ment was
written in the bill There was nothing ir-
regular in the matter whatever, and the
amendment is really needed to prevent the
very discrimination which the Commission
ers desire to avoid. 1 hope you will make
this explanation in justice to me, as there
was nothing about the amendment that
shouldn't be printed, and DO not care to
have people think l have lried to get the
bill changed without authority

ireland is poor because her people can't
find employment" said Charles MacTier, a
county Wexford man, at la Eormandie.
Everywhere one goes he sees able bodied
men in profusion who are idle because they
can get nothing to do. In 1880 only about
5000 people were employed in all the work
shops, factories and mills OF Ireland COM
bircd. and except the very few engaged in
commerce and trade, all the rest of the
population was trying to live upon the land.
Why is II so? Because of English greed.
TWO centuries ago wooden manufactures
fourishei extensively in ireland, not only
meeting the demand for home consumption,
but exporting the products to England and
the continent and giving employment to
great numbers of people.
In the reign of William III. at the insti-
CATION of the wooden manufa cturers of
England, the king. at the petition of parlia-
meat, communicated with the Irish parlia-
ment, ana the latter under English men
aces, laid prohibitive export duties upon
broadcloth, kerseys. fannels and other wool
en- stuffs, while the English parliament
passed an act prohibiting the export from
ireland to any other country but England,
and to any but six impraCticable ports
there, either wool or manufactures of wool.
The result was that the Irish WOODEN in
dustrieS were crushed and the operatives
fed to France and Belgium. / could recite
scores of similar incidents, all of which
served to bring Ireland to its present i'm
poverished and helpless condition.

How do l know? Why, there's Il dozen pin
holes iii that bill. Hundreds of men carry
1t the same way. l an item in 4 news

practice is followed. A town bond of the
town of Delhi y. Y, was turned into the

most unreliable. AS soon as il was deter

was paid and an investigation begun. Then
the late owner of the bond finally admitted
that he had carried the bond for long
time pinned TO his underShirt, and as he had
