DEBs AND THE GREAT NORTHERN.
VIII Go at Once to st. Cloud to Get
His Men Reinstated.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, May M.-President
Debs. of the American Railway Union. this
morning received the official report from
his organization at ST. Cloud about the
dismissal of employees of the Great North
ern, and he will go TO st. Paul as soon
as President Hill, of the Great Northern,
arrives there, and insist that the men be
reinstated. 1t has been sent out in the
press dispatches that the dismissals were
not because the men belonged TO the order.
but the report received by President Debs
is to the effect that the superintendent told
the men, when, notifying them of their dis
charge. that he had been instructed to dis
charge them because OF their activity in
the labor organization. This order came
from the general manager The A X. L.
president says IL is in direct conflict with
the basis of settlement of the strike of a
year ago. when the men gained their point
by the decision of the board of arbitration,
composed of merchants and manufacturers
stipulated that no employe was TO be dis
charged because of his membership in the
n r. L. The men who have been dis
charged at St. Cloud and Grand Forks are
officers i'm the local unions. The A. r. L.
is stronger the Great Northern than
any other system in the country, and
the membership has been increasing rap
idly since Debs' recent trip over the sys-
tenn to the Pacific coast, until now at some
points every emplOye. in whatever capacity,
is a member of the union.

be who are disabled through injuries or

THE VIRGINIA GAMBLING ACT.

The State yesterday evening had local
article headed. THE Anti Gambling Act.
How and Why the Alexander Island Peo-
pie Take Advantage of It," in which it
says
The Richmond Times of this morning
has an editorial on the agreement which
was REACHED yesterday IN the Alexander
Island case. in which IL says:
The so-called compromise with the
Alexander Island gamblers is flere
surrender by the State.
This was 10 nave been expected, as
all the ability of our admirable Attorney
General is not sufficient to make a wise
and Just judge give a Judgment against
the plain statute law, ana the gamblers
had the law on their side The Legisla-
tu:e did such damage that the court could
not undo 1t"
A prominent member of the Legislature
who had much TO do with the passage OF
the BILL said to-day that the bill was p.e-
pared TO SUPPRESS pool-SellinS at gam
bling shops where there were no race
tracks, and TO break up gambling at Jack
son City; bat that. after the bill mad
been prepared, objection was raised by
several distinguished members that if the
bill should become law in its original
shape it would break up legitimate racing
and seriously injure the Stock-raislng buSi-
ness iii Virginia, Accordingly, the bill
was remodeied. so as 10 allow legitimate
racing at agricultural fairs and the like,
and IN that shape il passed. 1t was
scrutinized by the Committees for Courts
of Justice OF both branches, after nav
ing been previously scrutinized by sub
committee of the Senate committee. TO
which IL was referred.
Toba hot he
on. that gamblers could take advantage of
the law. But 1t afterwards developed
that there was an old charter of the
Grange Camp Association which seeming
" put IL within the provisions of the anti
gambling act; that this charter had been
bought up by the Alexander Island
gamblers, who had taken advantage OF the
law and violated it's spirit and intent.
AS the name OF the prominent member
of the Legislature is not given We shall
not undertake 10 supply 1t, though the
act has commonly been called the Mush-
bach law.
Now it might have been supposed, by
some very green and sappy- headed legis-
lators that the law which authorized the
thoroughly gambling known as
pool-selling had for its bona fde object
legitimate racing and stock raising in
Virginia, but nobody else ever thought it,
The law forbids most solemnly, under

indicate that books, pools or mutuals"

CONFEDERATE LOSSES.

BY going over these figures It will be
surprising to see the uniformity with
which the same ratio between killed and
wounded runs through them all. The
ratio is almost invariably between five
and six wounded TO one killed 1t seems
almost certain, then, that whenever one
man is killed in battle between five and
six are wounded, but rarely more. Some
times IL happens that the disproportion is
greater. but that is when one army fights
at great advantage over another, as at
Fredericksburg. where a great part Of
the Confederate army was protected.
while the Union army assailed them from
the open. The Union loss there is little
more than five wounded TO one killed,
while the Confederate loss was nearly
seven wounded to one killed. We may
put 1t down as certain. therefore, that
the wounded men did not exceed six to
every man killed.
Now, the records of the Adjutant-Gen-
had killed in battle during the war 67,05S
men and officers. The wounded, there
fore, could not have exceeded six times
these or 4O2.3iS. How many of these re-
ceived wounds that, under the most lib
eral construction possible, can be said TO
have disabled them. The most liberal
estimate possible would not give one OUT
of every five. Let any man think of the
soldiers with whom he is acquainted. He
will find that a great many of them were
wounded but he will not find one in
twenty whose wounds give him the small
est trouble now. IT, therefore, We allow
that one man out OF every five who We're
wounded was disabled by the wound, we
should stHa have only S0.i6S eligible under
the laws for pensions. Add to this those
disabled by wounds received in the navy
and those disabled by disease contracted

to be done--for the sake OF. 1t Is said' 'he
stock raisers-cn the grounds OF any asrr

fair heretofore chartered. and also OF
the grounds OF any driving club or driV-
ing park heretofore chartered.
Now 1t happened that there was an IN
corporated driving park. or agricultural
association, which had secured what are
now the st. Asaph race track and grounds,
and this concern thought they had the
monopoly or the exclusive right to run
pools or gambling boards for that section
of Virginia. and they accordingly set up In
great shape TO do so. But they were
mistaken. The Grange Camp Associa-
ton had been duly organized before the
act and they, too, set up business at
Alexander Island. And thus the detesta-
BILE nature OF the law, and all the hum
buggery OF helping the poor farmer has
been fully disclosed.
There have been no races at the virtuous
st. Asaph course for many weeks, but
they turn an honest CD penny every day
even now. by selling pools on the foreign
races-so-called-i. e.. New Orleans, Madi-
son, and even their much-despised. but
equally virtuous neighbor OF Alexander
Island.
We do not pretend to know all the ms
and outs of this nefarious business, but
we know enough to be sure that under
very thin pretence of encouraging stock
raising vicious men have perverted the
sovereign power of 4rginia to the basest
uses, in order that they may make money

A PICTURE OF NORTH CARoLJSA's
CONDITION

Our neighbors in North Carolina appear
TO be passing through some of the horrors
to which the people of this State were
subjected when Malone dominated II In
1881 80. We can fully appreciate the SIT
uation in the Old North State. It's peo-
pie are now controlled by party which
seems bent upon doing mischief and UNI
doing the work which the conservative
Democratic leaders of that state have
been years in accomplishing. We have
no fears. however. for the restoration of
the government of North Cardinals al
fairs to those who really seek her advance
ment and progress.
Like Mahone's power in this State, the
ascendancy Of the North Carolina Fusion
lists will probably be short-llved. The
radical so-called reformations which they
have undertaken. and may possibly carry
out. are not such as to commend them
10 the thinking people OF North Carolina.
1t is easy for a new party 10 maze prom
ises to the people, but when they are
attempted 10 be executed, the intelligent
voters soon understand the objects of the
demagogues.
This was the history Of Mahones move
ments in Virginia. HIS specious pleadings
and glib promises deceived our people
for while. They soon, however dis
covered that the sole object Of the newly
arisen political Moses was 10 advance his
own interests. rather than those OF the
Commonwealth or the people. This reve-
lauon resulted in Mahone's being driven
from power, and the restoration of our
government to those who had at heart
the real interests of the State.
Our North Carolina Democratic friends
WILL we feel sure, md that similar re-
vulsion will soon come over the right
thinking and conservative voters Of their
State. Whenever another general cleo
ton occurs in that state We predict
that the seal of the condemnation OF the
voters will be placed upon the course of
those who now control its legislation. In
the meantime, the tusiOnists will no
doubt foist upon them much abhorrent
legislation, which may possibly affect
the prosperity OF the State. This, though,
will only serve to show the taxpayers
OF the Old North State the importance
of refusing to heed the popular promises
which demagogues make during heated
political campaigns.
Vance is dead, but his memory is fond
~ cherished, and with Ransom and hun
dreds of other brilliant Democrats left, it
is not likely that our sister State Will
long remain in the tolls Of such an UNI
holy political alliance. There Is bind
ing affection between North Carolina and
Virginia which makes our people take
deep interest in everything that affects
our neighbor. When the Old Dominion
had no real representation in the United
States Senate it was Vance and Ran
som upon whom we relied-and relied
not in vain-for defence against those in
that body who revlled ana denounced US.
