JACKSON 6ITY
The raid made last night by the yir-
glnia authorities upon the gambling re-
sorts on the Virginia shore OF the Po-
tOmac above GEORGETOWN has been COM
mented upon very favorably by leading
citizens of this city After unremitting
effort by the better class OF Washington's )
population. gambling I'm any form was
made Illegal In the District of Columbia,
and the laws against II have been rigidly
enforced But the gamblers merely
crossed the river and resumed operations
IN Alexandria county upon a more extern
sive scale than had been attempted In
this city In recent years. There they
have bid defiance TO law and public or
der and morality, until the condition Of
affairs I'm Alexandria county has become
a scandal to Washington and reproach
to the State. The action taken last
night by the officials OF the state shows
IL is thought here that Governor O'Ferrall
has finally been aroused and further pro-
ceedings are anticipated. The only won
der expressed is that he deferred action
so long. So Intense is the feeling OF
the community against the gambling IN
stltutiOns across the river. that the pro-
prietors OF the race tracks have been
impressed by IT, and they anticipate
legislation which VIII limit their opera
tiOns, if 10 does not prevent them en-
tlrely during the carsy weeks OF the ses-
sion OF the Legislature.

WHERE I. IS 8 HAl I,
DiAs1snt Ideas - 70 the Location Of Thu
|. Infernal Regions.

Dins1snt Ideas - 70 tire Location o1 the
InfernAl Regions.
The ancient phil osophers were Of the
opinion that the internal regions were
located at an equal distance from all
parts Of the earth 8 surface. which may
be- the foundation for the modern idea
which locates hell at the center Of our
planet. This belief in q centrally locat-
ed place Of torment or utter annihila-
ton appears to have existed among the
Jews at a very early date also Accord
ing to their belief, there were three pas
.sages leading to 1.-THE wilderness, by
which route Dathan, Korah and Abiram
descended; the sea, because it is written
that Jonah cried to; God out Of the belly
of hell, and a third passage. which last
was at Jerusalem. K 4 , ,s1 4 s.5E% 8
/ This third and last idea of the mouth
of hell being located in the capital Of
Palestine is founded upon the Biblical
passage which says, "The fire Of the
Lord is in Zion, and his furnace is in
Jerusalem. The Mohammedans, who
are noted for their superstitious regard
for the number seven, declare that hell
is provided with seven gates, each in
tended for the followers Of the different
religions The first is for recreant Mus
sulmans; the second, very wide and
with shutter always standing invitingly
ajar, is for Christians only; the third,
located near the second and almost as
wide and roomy, is reserved for Jews
the fourth gate is the one through which
the spirits Of the Sabeans will enter the
land of torment. Like the last two, it is
wide enough to 30 a wholesale business
without providing. The fifth is small
loophole Of gate intended for the sect
Of the Mali, sect SO insignificant that
the Mohammedans' hell idea apparently
grudgingly allowed a separate opening
for their spirits when on the way to
eternal punishment. The sixth gate, the
only circular opening in the walls Of
hell, is the gate by which the pagans
will enter. Why the pagan gate is be-
lieved to be circular I have never seen
explained. The seventh gate in the
walls Of the Mohammedan hell is re-
served for the hypocrites of all religions.
Strange to say, it is one Of the smallest
of the gates. ~
Winston, the English astronomer, be-
ieved hell to be located on comet, and
that one moment the damned were suf-
fering in the blistering rays Of the sun
and the next in cold hundreds Of degrees
below zero.
The Christian idea Of hell, old as it
is, gives but very dim outline Of the
probable location Of the flake which
burneth forever and ever;" also there is
q controversy as to whether it really
burns forever and ever" or only has
effects which are everlasting in their
nature. ST. Louis Republic.

The Democrats of Iowa met last
week at Marshalltown, nominated a
state ticket and adopted the follow
ing platform:
The democratic party of Iowa, in
convention assembled, re-affrms the
national platform of the party adopt
ed in Chicago in 1892; points with
satisfaction to the evidence of the
wisdom of that convention, in results
accomplished, according to promises;
to evidences of returning prosperity;
restoration of wages and re-establish-
ment of industry upon prosperous
basis conditions which have extort-
ed congratulations from even Repub-
Leans in Iowa. We declare the 1es-
cue of the finances of the country
from the baleful effects of the Sher-
man law; the repeal of the un-Ameri-
can federal election law and uproot-
ing of McKinleyism, to be works
worthy the history and prestige of
the great democratic party and of
courageous democratic admins ira
ton We re-affirm the following por-
ton of the seventh plank of the last
National democratic convention:
we hold the use of both gold and
silver as the standard money of the
country, and to coin both gold and
silver without discrimination against
either metal or charge for mintage;
but thel dollar unit of coinage of
both must be of equal intrinsic and
exchangeable value, or be adjusted
by international agreement, or by
such safeguards of legislation as
shall insure the maintenance Of the
parity of two metals and the equal
power or every dollar at all times in
the payment. of debt; and we de-
mand that the paper currency shall
be kept at par with and redeemable
in such coin. We insist upon this
policy as especially necessary for the
protection of farmers and laboring
classes, the first and most defence
less victims of unstable money and
auctuating currency
The democrats of Missouri also
met last week and endorsed the 'splat-
form of 1892 and also resolved for
the free and unlimited coinage of
silver. The Iowa platform "points
with satisfaction in..the evidences of
prosperity" That is an admission
worthy of preservation. They also
declare their satisfaction..of rescuing

. LeMars Sentinel: Eight silver
dollars would weigh nearly a
pound if the ratio of coinage were
changed so as to agree with the COM
mercial ratio at the present time. It
would then be as dangerous to hit a
man with dollar as to hit him with
a Ratchet or railroad frog. It
would be easy to crush a mans skull
with dollar and knock him sense
