Stronger Lottery Legislation.


A lottery bill which promised to
make serious inroads into the business
of catching gudgeons would be some-
thing of a novelty. The one, however,
which Representative Broderick has
formulated appears to deserve this dis
tinction. 1t makes it an offense pun
ishable by fine Of $1,000 or two years
in jail, or both, for any person to causes
to be brought in from abroad, or de-
posted or carried in the mails, or car
ried from one state to another any pa
per purporting to be or represent u
ticket or share or interest in any lot
terry or similar enterprise, or who cause
any advertisement Of such an enter
prise to be brought into the United
States, deposited in the mails or carried
from one state 10 another.
1t is, perhaps, beyond reach Of the
most ingenious lawmakers to wholly
prevent the sale Of lottery tickets or to
protect those lucliless persons who ere
born with q desire to get rich quick.
The destinations of gambling have al
ways found victims among men, and
doubtless always will; and no form OF
gambling is likely to last longer than
that which offers the glittering hope
Of great wealth in return for paltry
investment, clinching its attractiveness
from time to time by calculated distri'
buttons Of prizes as bats for more ac'
tive speculation. Even when honestly
conducted, a lottery is Objectionable, il
that it cheapens the value of money
by inducing patrons to expect much fl
return for little. And when the lot.
terry is notoriously dishonest, offering
to its patrons not even the small con
ISOLATION of equal opportunity, but
selling their immense investment.
with the absolute certainty that only {
beggarly fraction of the money thus
invested will ever get back to the in
vestors, the necessity for its discour
agement becomes doubly urgent.
Recent laws on this subject hav'
driven the big lotteries to cover; bu
they are yet doing a highly profitabl'
business; and the bulk of their profit
is being drained out of the country
subtracting just SO much from thu
home circulation of ready currenc!
that is the life Of trade. 1t is known
for instance, that the Louisiana lotter!
swindle is plying its articles in Scran
ton, and making loads of money there
by. The same thing is true through
out the state and presumably through
out the country. 1t is far from dead
1t will have to be fought fiercely ant
vigilantly for many years yet, or i
will simply wriggle around and iron
under the law.

of New York toward the Union. 1t
can scarcely be called arefection upon
state to put in words the conceded
fact that it is loyal to the general gov
ernment; that it has no sympathy
with the old pro-slavery doctrine of
state supremacy; and that, taught by
experience the wisdom of having no
uncertainty over this matter, it in
tended to express its views in a manner
admitting no misunderstanding.
The people of today, to be sure,
know where New York stands, with
out needing a diagram to instruct
them; but the clear definition Of that
position might have beneficial effect
atsome future time; and ought certain
ly toexert an exemplary influence upon
other commonwealths that are less
positive in their opinions.

Strikes Do Not Paw.

Robert Layton, formerly immigrant
inspector at Pittsburg, has made a
close study of the labor problem, So
called. Some things that he says
thereabout possess interest if not sig
nificance. After declaring his belief
that strikes, as rule, do not pay, he
continues: "There are two kinds Of
strikes. When men strike because
they have been asked to accept u re-
duction, you can make rather safe
bet that they will be beaten. Fol
a number of years have made a study
Of this and rs strikes out Of 100 are lost
to the men. They are at great disad
vantage. The employer knows that
he is going to force decrease il
wages. He figures on this long before
the men are informed of the fact. AL
his arrangements for carrying strike
to o successful issue are made and ht
has nothing to do but carry them out
This was especially impressed on mt
in the Homestead troubles. The days
for such strikes are passed. Arbitra
ton in such cases would win quite
often and would at least leave thu
country in more settled and peaceful
condition. The strike which has ;
percentage of winning So times out o.
100 is that one where an increase o.
wages is asked for. Its day is moi
passed and expect to see wise men
win at this game for many years tt
come. 1t is different sort of q battle
In fact things are entirely reversed
The workman has the lead"
This Is true when the workman hal
justice on his side. With times pros
porous aud capital earning large profit
he would be very peculiar employer
who would not cheerfully concede /,
reasonable advance in wages in pref
erence to having his employees suller
and discontented, and possibly violen
as well. 1t is not economy to any EN-
ployer to hire cheap labor, merely be
cause it is cheap. Sometimes extraor
dinary circumstances make the pay
ment Of small wages a necessity ever
when employers know that their EN-
ployes are worth more pay. Condi
tions like this will right themselves il
the natural order of things, just q.
water will everywhere seek its level
Their readjustment would be retarded
rather than fastened, however, by
policy of striking merely for the SAX
of revealing labor's strength.
The idea of the strike is fundamen
tally war-like. In its inevitable mean
ing and magnitude the modern strik
is an act of war, which often carrie
greater damage to innocent peopl
than it does to both parties to the bat
tie. Arbitration would be effectiv
because it would have public sent
ment behind 1.-THE sentiment of sell
preservation, than which there is non
stronger when once fully aroused. Il
the sense that strikes add to the ten
sity of the situation and increase tn
unnaturalness of it, 1t may be broadl
said that whether they nominall
succeed OF fail, they do not pay; am
intelligent labor should move ava,
from rather than toward this clums
recourse of sheer strength as oppose'
to both conscience and logic.

The ANNOUNCEMENT that eX-Banker
Rockafellow had promised friend to
write formal statement explanatory
of his business troubles is not credited
by those who were once intimate with
him. And yet, why not? Nobody
believes that the RocBafellow thous-
ands simply vanished by spontaneous
disintegration; nor that any of the
theories thus far devised in eXplana-
ton Of their disappearance is in all
particulars thoroughly accurate. In
other words, there is much in Mr..
Rockafellow's mind which has not
yet reached the public ear. The tide
of popular sympathy is Enthusiastically
turning in his favor. What better
plan to accelerate it than to honestly
confess all that there is to be said?

mailing legislators have been introducing

tions in greater or less number, ana teie-

laturs In all the important stateS
Such a condition of affairs can
scarcely be tolerated perpetually. To
be sure, the intention, in most cases OF
official pass-holding, is innocent.
When, several days ago, we charged
the president of the Pittston borough
council with having besought three
Traction company passes, he at first
admitted it, asking "where was the
harm;" but later deemed it sufficiently
grave to justify threatening us with a
libel suit. This, of itself, indicates the
changing temper of the people. No
doubt the public once thought little or
nothing about these things. But now
adays 1t is beginning to wonder why
officials who, in the main, are we'll

nothing from the transportation COM

look suspicious. Circumstances in
legislation which without this knowl-
edge would be inexplicable are easily
accounted for when the passes are
taken into account.
We do not know how far q prohibi-

check this evil; but we do know that
the right kind of public sentiment
would check it; and that kind of senti'
ment is rapidly forming.

ALMOST A RIOT IN BOSTON.
Unemployed of the City Threaten to

BOSTON. Feb. 20.-The unemployed in
this city made a demonstration on the
common this afternoon which for q time
threatened to end in riot. Five thou

crowded into the state house and the ad-
joining grounds and Nociferously de
handed immediate aid in their distress.
The governor addressed them from the
steps Of the state house and was quietly
received and even applauded. although
he made no satisfactory answer to their
requests. An attempt was then made by
the leaders Of the demonstration to get
petition before the legislature, which was
then in session. But the rules pre-
cluded this and then things began to
look serious. The rotunda was backed
with a crowd of men, who were waiting
to hear the result of their leaders eff

assembled solons and when Morrison !.
Swift. an avowed anarchist and the
spokesman Of the mob, appeared on one
of the balconies and said the Icgts-

passiOned TRADE against the legislators,
who, he said. were too busy creating
corporations to listen to the voices of the
starving men. His voice shook with
emotion as he denounced the treatment
the men had received and his ominous
threats to clean out the state house were
received with hOarse shouts of approba-
ton. The rass-buttoned officials and
dOor-keepers seemed paralyzed with fear
and Governor Greenhalge, who but few
minutes before mingled with the mob,
wisely retired to the legislative chamber.
The few policemen, who had been de-
tailed to take care of the crowd. were
powerless and soon the police wagons
from the nearer stations were flying

there were 100 policemen on the scene.

ward and many in it attempted to reach
their friends. Women. with babies I'm
their arms, pushed through the crowd
but the line was kept intact and the
deputies permitted no one to come near
any of the prisoners. Lamentations in
Polish, Hungarian. French and Italian
were loud and frequent. Tears fell fast
and copiously. and yet with ii all there
was no attempt made to interfere with
the deputies or prevent them from do
ing their duty.
