Not Agree.

Especial to The Jersey City News. "
ATLANTIC CITY, Aug. 6, 1S97.-A sur
prise was sprung upon Recorder Inger-
soil yesterday, when the case Of Charles
Gabel, charged with violating the Sunday
Amusement ordinance, was called. Ga
bells attorney secured a writ of certionari
from Justice Ludlow at New Brunswick,
last night, and that carries the matter
to the Supreme Court for review. City
Solicitor Endicott will go to Camden on
Saturday and ask Judge Ludlow to re-
woke the writ on the ground that Gabel
had not been given a hearing when it
was granted. Gabe runs a teboggan
Slide.
John T, Flood, who was fined last week
for running a scenic railway an Sunday,
was held under $3.50 bail to answer at
Court under the State law.
Gustave De Donnea, who was sentenced
to ten days imprisonment for violating
the Sunday law, and released on a writ
of eertiorari, was rearrested today as a
fugitive from justice. When DeDon-
meas attorney went to police headquar-
tiers to secure his release, he served the
writ on the house sergeant. instead of
the chief of police or recorder, as he
should have done. This made the mans
release Illegal. His attorney is now out
of town, and DeDonnea will be compelled
to remain in Jail until his return.

The Future of the Red man.

Having briefly reviewed some of our
past history, the fact must be admitted
that, when the white men first visited our
shores, we were kind and cohfiding;
staining before them like a block of mar
BILE before the sculptor, ready to be
shaped into noble manhood. Instead Of
this, we were oftener hacked to pieces
and destroyed.
1t is useless to deny the charge that at
times we have been goaded to vindictive
and cruel acts. Some of my own tribe,
however, were soldiers in the Northern
army during the Civil War. Some of them
were taken and held prisoners in the
rebel prisons; inc the cruelty which, ac-
cording to the tales they tell, was wit
messed there was never outdone in Dor
der warfare with the sca1ping knife and
t~omahawk. And yet / believe that, had
the Northern people been placed in the
prisoners of war would have been treated
With similar cruelty. 1t was the result
of a desperate effort to save an expiring
cause: ! believe there is no reasonable
history, who will not admit that there
were ten times as many who persisted
misefably in Southern prisons as have
been killed by our people since the dis
coyery Of America. / recall these facts

and revenge are the offspring Of war. not
