A LAW FOR ARBITRAMENT

When we become really wise as a
nation and our common sense is allowed
to sway us and direct our general
courses of life in relation to the law,
and the industries, and the just balances
OF human action and duty one to the
other, we will have strong, federal
statute compelling arbitrament prece'
dent to all strikes. as we know them
now.
The strike, as such, is failure and
has been for years without number; it
is used simply because there is no other
wholesale and wholesome expedient at
hand for general use in great emergen-
cies of industrial wrong, confusion, and
rebellion; it would be discarded utterly
if only there were other honorable, logi-
cal and effective policies and plans at
hand. It is justly unpopular because it
involves everybody, sympathizers, non
sympathizers and the rank outsider, and
evokes the bitter disfavor of people who
lose and suffer from no contributory
cause of theirs, and whose sympathy re-
volts at the strain put upon patience
The idea that the man who has to put
up with the delays, sacrifices and incsn'
veniences incident to prolonged strike
is going to swarm to the striker or ally
himself with the strike, is a piece Of
Unreasonable folly, so proven in every
case on record. The justice Of the
strikers claim which he recognized.

not resolves itself into rank opposition
to the revolving tradesmen and all his
claims, in the end. No student Of strikes

CLAIMS OF MoDERNITY.

cf Latin in the decorative inscriptions

and declared for the use OF the PLAIN
mother-tongue OF the people, simple,
readable English; and We are disposed
to agree with him.
The designs employed in most OF the
great federal structures is of classic ten
dency and it is supposed that the scuip'
tued texts applicable to such displays,
is, necessarily, classic, too. But just why
this should follow has always been de-
hateable. The revision to the classic
styla is almost invariable, as rule,
throughout the country, in public and
private building, and while it is Won

the modern idea has some claims on the
art, skill, and sensibilities of the mod
ern that may not always be denied.
The wholesome good sense of the
great secretary is appreciable from the
standpoint of the man who is tired OF
the formulas so religiously followed in
nine -tenths of the structural work OF
the country and the day; and the mod
ern style (if there be any modern style),
should be given chance and the Ian
guage OF the land should be the text OF
all inscriptive work, since we are not all
able to decipher the classic, but the last
man of us can read the simple. and noble
type and tenor OF pure English. We

CONEY ISLAND CLOSED.
Justice Dickey Backs up Police in Court
Decision.

BROOKLYN NY, Aug IA decis-
ion having most important hearing on
gmes of chance us played at Coney Is
land this season was handed down yc.-
terday afternoon by Supreme Court JUS
tice Dickey.
Many games that have been run at
the island this summer have been stop
ped by the police on the ground that
they are gambling games and the court
has been burdened with application for
writs of Injunction restraining the police
from so interfering with these games, it
being argued by the proprietors that
the games do not constitute gambling 5
defined under the amended constitution
Of the State.
1t il claimed that much injury has
been done to these proprietors through
loss of trade and through keeping the
considerable capital invested in nom
earning condition by these police raids
and the temporary stopping of the
games during the rush period Of the sea
son.
Justice Diekey has given a lengthy
definition of the term gambling and has
rendered a lucid decision on the hear
ing on games Of chance as offered to the
public at Coney Island. The decision
is a complete victory for the police and
will act as heavy blow for all games at
Coney Island, not only for this season,
hut every season to come, unless the de.
cision is reversed by higher court or
the constitution is changed. Justice
Dickey said the mania for gambling has
become a public menace and it is time
for the courts to come to the assistance
of the police in checking 1t.
The decision relates to the suit
brought by Alfred Dlhgfeldt against
Police Commissioner Bingham ct al, to
enjoin the police from interfering with a
tin disc game, conducted by the plaintiff
at Coney Island. which the police stopped
as a gambling scheme. Assistant Cor
poration Counsel Iazansky conducted the
case on the part Of the police.
Justice Dickey says: "The people by
adoption of the amended Constitution
meant to forbid all gambling in the
State. The Penal Code has provisions
carrying this prohibition into effect.
Gambling is defined in the Century Die
tionary: 10 play at any game or
hazard for stake; to risk money or
any thing OF value on the issue of a
game of chance, by either playing or
betting on the play Of Others The Stan.

especially a. game of chance, for stakes;
to risk money or other possessions on

THOSE uNroRrUNATE SWALLOWS.

The grounding of the French ship
Vincennes in the Columbia while she was
en- route to Portland, on Thursday last,
is peculiarly unfortunate, coming 50
quickly on the grave trouble that befell
the steamers Alliance and the City OF
Panama in the same neighborhood few
days ago tnow both on the drydocks for
extensive and costly epairs), as it is
liable to raise adverse comment as to
the conditions under which the accident
occurred.
That 500 or 5000 tons of her cargo will
have to be lightered and taken to the
metropolis is now certain and the work
viii be commenced as promptly as may
be, but the certain delay and expense to
the ship will be long, and great, and
cause immense inconvenience to her own
ers, as well as reacting upon the river
channels, and the harbor to which she
was bound, most adversely.
1t is but another demonstration of
the expediency OF utilizing the safe and
delayless advantages of this, the only
real harbor north of San Francisco, and
the logical seaport OF Oregon; it is one
of but veru few more such experiences
as will compel the recognition, and use,
OF the harbor OF Astoria for the secure
and despatchful handling, not only of
the grain fleets, but Of the general
cargo ships ami steamers, doing business
into, and out Of, Oregon.
1t is simply matter Of extending the
common point rate to Astoria, declar-
ing this the one, official seaport of the
Columbia basin, and working for its
precedence, with Portland in the van Of
endeavor, and control, to cinch the whole
situation!
