The Workingman’s "Friend.
Senators Gorman and Voorhees will
receive very little support from conser-
vative public sentiment in their oppo-
sition to the Ricks deCision, says the
Washington Post. Neither _ Judge
Ricks nor any other judicial officer in
this country has ever taken the posi-
tion that an employee stands in the re-
lation of an enlisted soldier or seaman.
There has been no attempt to bind the
horny-handed son of toil to the wheel
of tyranny or any other manifestation
of similar nonsense. Messrs. Gorman-
and Voorhees must have dreamed it.
The proposition laid down by Judge
Ricks is perfectly simple and intelli-
gible. It is to the effect that men who
have contracted to do certain things
must be treated as responsible human
beings, not as children, and that they
cannot, through malice or caprice, re-
pudiate their obligations at a time
when such repudiation might involve
loss of property and life. In a word, it
puts the workingman just where their
employers are put and makes them sub-
j eat to the same accountability. There
is not so much as ahint in the direction
of oppression and enslavement. On
the contrary, the proposition involved
in Judge Ricks’ ruling simply tends to
release employers and corporations
from the slavery to which they have
been too long subjected, giving them
some rights which labor organizations
will be bound to respect and offering
them a modicum of protection against
the agitator and the mob.’
The fact is that Judge Ricks has
shown himself to be the honest work-
ingman’s best friend. The latter has
been the victim of the walking delegate
and the salaried boss, subject to the
loss of his occupation and his livlihood
at their dictation, and never secure
from any one day 'to another in the
privilege of earning his living and sup-
porting his family by honorable toil.
There is in Russia no tyranny as ignor.
ant and as cruel as that under which
both the laborer and his employer have
languished at the hands of labor of-
ficials. Thousands of prosperous arti-
sans could be thrown into idleness and
privation without a moment’s notice,
and untold millions of commerce and
industry jeopardized by the lifting of
one vicious and irresponsible finger.
Men who were contented and happy in
their work, who had no fault to find
with their circumstances, could be re-
duced from comfort to penury because
some conclave of the bosses ordered it.
Railroad corporations which had no
quarrel with organized labor could be
condemned to seriousloss, if not to ac-
tual paralysis,because the board of del—
egates wished to wage war upon some
corporation in another part of the coun-
try. ,
Judge Ricks was right when he ex-
posed and denounced this pestiferous
form of conspiracy. He spoke alike
for the, capitalist and the lrfimrer, for
justice and for civilization,when he de-
clared that it should be suppressed by
every agency at the disposal of society.

Raid No. l.
Considerable complaint has been
made to Chief Dann of the doings of a
colored club whose meeting rooms are
in the building on Wall street owned by
Mr. Platt Price. It was alleged that
gambling was carried on every night
in the week and that intoxicants were
sold and drank on the premises. Last
night Chief Dann decided to made a
raid on the place. He had come into
possession of the signal of entrance
used by members of the club.
.The chief was accompanied by Olli-
cers Martin and Howard. Evidently
those in the room were suspicious, as it
was fully five minutes before the sig-
nal was answered by the opening of the,
door. The officers then placed the in-
mates of the room under arrest and they
were taken to the station.
No liquor was found on the premises '
' and the only gambling outfit found were
three packs of cards, some dominoes and
checkers. .
The officers believe that in the inter-
ium of opening the, deor some of those
who were inside managed to make their
escape, and secrete the liquors.
This moaning the prisoners were
brought before Justice Austin, where
they gave their names as Samuel ‘Law,
Ellison Williams, Walter Springstein,
Jeremiah Caples and John Slattery.
The two former were charged with
keeping a resort where gambling was
alleged to be done, and the three last
as being frequenters of the place.
Springstein was found guilty and fined
$1 and costs ; Law was also found guilty
and was fined $2 and costs, which he
paid; Caples was fined 351 and costs. -

Were They Stolen ?
A peculiar find was made early Sat-
urday morning on the new street being
cut through frém Orchard to Butler
street. Some young ladies were going
“through the street to the straw factory
when their attention was attracted to a
pile of hats near the residence of Sher-
wood Cummings. On 1nvestigation they
found seven Derby hats piled up on
six dinner plates,the whole surmounted
by a military hat. How they got there
is a mystery. The hats were all good
ones. Mr. Cummings heard some one
near his house in the night laughing and
talking but thought nothing of it at the
time. Some inclin'e'to the belief that
the articles were stolen from the Ar-
mory Fair. During - the day some
youngsters used the hats for footballs,
and one of the number to ok the plates
and military cap home w1th h1m..

A Mother’s Pride.
“Do I not always try my best to‘grat-

There was no reply, and the mother
resumed, gently:
“If I were wealthy, my dear, I would
spare no expense to provide you with
all that heart could wish. But there
is a limit to my power to do so. I can‘-
only exercise my best taste and judge-
ment in the selection of such things as
you may require for your personal ap-
parel, and if they do not always please
you, remember, my dear, that there
are treasures of mind and heart that
may be yours if you seek for them w1th
earnest purpose, and they far outweigh
the ephemeral trifles of cne’s outward
adornment.”

, ‘ BURGLAM WORK.
A Norwalk Saloon Entered Early
Saturday Marning.
The Thieves Overlooked-a Sum of
Mooney. ' '
The saloon of Mrs. John Cahill was
burglanzed at an early hour Saturday
morning last, but for some reason or
other the matter has been kept very
quiet. A GAZETTE reporter was in pos-
session ofIthe facts on Saturday but was
requesfed not to give publicity to the
same. .
Back of the saloon on the Mechanic
street side there is a balcony. The
burglars it is thought got on to the
same by climbing up the iron girders
on the back of the balcony on the Had-
den building. They then by the use
of some sharp instrument succeeded in
cutting away enough of the sash to in~
sert some tool whereby they succeeded
in turning the catch and were thus en-
abled to open the window and step into
the store. ‘
They then went behind the counter
and helped themselves to, as Mrs.
Cahill thinks, about $3, one dollar in
change and a two dollar bill. It. is
thought that the burglars became
frightened as they failed to take a bag
containing $5 in silver which was close
to. where the money lay. They also
failed to open a desk in which there
was over $50 in bills.
Mrs. Cahill is of the opinion that the
burglary was committed between 1 and
2 o’clock in the morning, as she re-'
members having heard her 'dog bark-
ing, but thought nothing of- it at the
time.
It is_believed that the burglary was
committed by some one acquainted with
the place.

assurance enough that a large house
will greet its production in this place.
Everyone has heard of the piece. It is
safe to presume that everyone who is
fond of the theatre will want to see it.

ed stallow-tails. Happily, ‘ ‘Nora Macha
ree” is an Irish play that is new in plot,
story, costuming and scenic embelish-
ments, and. .123 Ellis deserves great“

TURBULENT .'BEIEGIANB.
The Strikers for Suffrage Still Keep the
Police Busy. . '
BRUSSELS, April ; 17.—Yesterday _-_was a
day of extreme watchfulness and anxiety
on the" part of the authorities throughout
Belgiu‘m. Reports from all points indi-
" Cate that; the strike-is Spreading steadily,
‘ and that the temper of the strikers is grow?
ing worse. Yesterday afternoon thousands
of_wOrkingmen held a. turbulent meeting
on the road to the race course outside of
the city limits. The advertised object of
the meeting was to denounce the procla-
mation of Mayor Duls prohibiting public
demonstrations in'favor of universal suf
frage.
The “crowd became uproarious and
shouted for revenge upon the mayor. The
police ordered the crowd to disperse, and
the workingmen answered wit-h jeers.. The
police drew their swords and advanced
toward the platform. _ Some of the crowd
fired revolvers and a. few threw stones, but
the rest retreated. ‘ . _
,Whil’e TMayor Buls was walking. lip-vu-
on the Avenue Louise about an hourlu {er
he. was struck a heavy blow with a stick
on the head. As Buls turned: he received
another blow on the back Of the neck“ He
fell bleeding and uncofisCiOu’s'to the pa vo-
ment. The police arrived and dispersed
the mob. Two of the crowd were» arrested.
M. Buls was still unconscious when taken
to his home, but probably'will be able to
resume his official duties within a. few days.
In the evening turbulent crowds fought
the police in several districts of the city.
The rioters threw jars of Greek fire and
repeated volleys of stones among the
police. Many of the mob were cut or
trampled upon, Twelve were arrested.
Several policemen were burned and
bruised. The city is as if in a. state of siege.
‘ THE FINANCIAL OUTLOOK.
Uncertainty ,as to. Secretary Carlisle’s
Action Regarding the Gold Reserve.
WASHINGTON” April 17. -—-It looks as
though '. the -. secretary, of . the treasury
would this week‘beconfrontcd with the
necessity of demonstrating what-will be
his financial policy._; It is expected by
treasury OEcials that there Will. be gold
shipments during the coming Week suffi-
cient to wipe out. the free gold balance
in the treasury and force action to
be taken to maintain the parity of all
issues of currency of the United States.
The secretary, when the free gold supply
is exhausted, unless he can obtain gold
from the banks to tide over the emergency,
must determine whether he will use the
gold reserve of $100,000,000 held for the
redemption of outstanding greenbacks or
will take measures by a bond issue to re«
plenish the stock of gold. The fact that
there .is not the slightest doubt of our
ability to get gold by means of a. bond
issue whens er desired is pointed to as an
evidence of he needlessness of alarm over
. the situation.
Mglgag'ligxlue,maintains almost absolute
silence as to his purpose, and will not state
in advance what he proposes to do. On
Saturday the issue of gold certificates was
stopped, except that persons who deposit
gold will continue to be paid in gold certi-
ficates, but no indication of this intention
was given until after the order was issued,
and it was not announced until the close
of business at the exchanges. It is said
,that the secretary is inclined to use the
gold reserve if necessary rather than issue
bonds, but the probabilities are that he is

cal Examiner Powers.‘ The, body had
evidently been in"the‘,wat'er‘a long
time, for all the flesh "On the head and
handshad entirely disappeared, prob;
ably haying been eaten away by fishes.
n Upon searching the clothes of the
deadman, the medical examiner found a
number. of milk tickets and other pa.
pers'which pretty thorougly establishes
the identity. The doctor found that
