HE SCORES THE R RACES TRACK SCANDAL Recommends Vigorous Remedies to Cure the Evils. A RINGING APPEAL Special Dispatch to The Event RICHMOND, Va., December 4 —Governor | O’Ferrall today submitted his annual mes- sage to the legislature. It is a long and im- pertant document, bearing oh a number of important questions. The people of the Dis- I be s) ially concerned in the chapters which he devotes to the race track and gambling evils now prevalent across the river from Washington, in which the governor makes some vigorous and triking recommendations. He urges a re- peal of the Grange Camp charter and asks Gov. O'Ferrall, for a law making bookmaking a misde- meaner. He further suggests amendments to the statutes giving the judge of the county authority to suspend officials and to change the venue on cases of gamblers ac- cused of violations of the law. ‘The full text of the messaxe on these points follows: Horse Race Gambling. “Gambling on horse races has become a shame and disgrace to Virginia. It has been carried on the year round, and has at- tracted the gambling fraternity, meluding the worst slement of It, from every sectien of the country, and invited the youths of the state to the tracks to be corrupted. “The general mbly, at its last session, finding that there was no statute prohibit- ing bookmaking, pool selling, ete., and that this species of gambling was being conduct- ed constantly at Jackson City, in Alex- andria county, passed an act making it un- lawful for any person or ns or ass: ciation of persons, corporation or corpora- tions, to sell or inake books, pools or mu- tuals upon the result of any trial of speed or power of endurance of animals or beasts, etc, anywhere within the state, except upon the grounds owned and controlled by agricult ogiations, county or city fa.rs, driving parks or driving clubs there- tofore chartered. ‘The special object of this act was ak up the gambling dens, where 1 .

In great measure the same element frequents it, and pool selling, bookmaking, ete., mark the constant meetings on its grounds. I earnestly recommend that the act of March 3, 18, be amended by striking out the exception in favor of agricultural a ciations or fairs, and driving clubs or parks “Let the selling of books or making of povls or mutuals be absolutely prohibited in the state of Virginia.

Betting at faro, wheel-of-fortune or keno table is prohibited and punished. Why permit it on a horse race? Upon what principle can one be prohibited and the other licensed? Is it immoral and degrad- irg to gambie with cards, but moral and elevating to gamble on horse racing? I am sure you will answer these questions as the public morals condemn it.

Grange Charter. Recurring to the subject just presented, I desire to refer to the gross perversion of the charter of the Grange Camp Associa- tion of Northern Virginia, granted by the eperal assembly at its session of 18S5- Special attention is called to the purposes of the charter, set forth in the preamble: ‘The fostering and Gevelopment of agriculture and its Inter- as well as the mu 1 care, aid and tion of its mMembe in time of sic est rote é or distress, and the care of the widow id orphan, end other benevolent purpos for the purpose of holdi in the in- nd of securing the ation in all matte! mutual im- (See Acts terest of agriculture, advantages of co-ope affecting their imteresis and provement griculturists.” ) charter grounds were pur- rfax covnty, and upon them able buildin cted, and several fairs ucted by th amp Association Northern Virginia; put for two or three or longer, prior to 1804, there were no exhibitions er fairs held, and I am in- fermed the enterprise had been virtually abandoned by the association.

Tabb, Wheeling, W. A NOTE OF CAUTION Temper of Republicans in Both Branches of Congress. THE SPIRIT OF MR. REEL'S SPEECH Present Conditions Different From Six Years Ago. NO FALSE ECONOMY Leading republicans are talking in the same strain at both ends of the Capitol. The note is one of caution, of conference— rot of timidity or irresolution, for there is none of that; but of a desire to meet a gteat emergency in the best way possible for the country, there is very much. Mr. Reed’s Speech. This spirit is large in Mr. Reed's speech to the caucus. That deliverance puts the Speaker in a new light before many of his admirers. It does rot reveal a new man, but simply the same man in conditions the opposite of those in which six years ago he made his reputation. Then he was in- augurating a parliamentary revolution. His majority on the floor was small, and appeared at the start to hesitate. But he did not hesitate. The moment he mounted the box and took the reins into his hands he ordered the brake dismantled, and as scon as the wheels were free he cracked his whip and plunged ahead. It was rather a lively ride for a while, but he kept his seat, and made the others keep their seats, and he arrived at his destination with every wheel on the ground and in prime running order. It is the most notable trip on record. The Case Different Now. Now the case is different. Some of the passengers are impatient and want to un- ship the brake. They seem to be desirous of such a whirl as that the Fifty-first House experienced. But the great whip from Maine knows his business too well to indulge them in anything of that kind. He reaches for the brake with one hand while taking the reins with the other. This is to be a different sort of trip. For one thing, the coach is loaded differently; and, besides, while in other hands it has recently un- dergone a severe strain. Creakings are and much uneasiness exists. He best, therefore, to go slow and vy jolts, until at the different stopping places from time to time repairs ezn be made. Of course, he could, at much rink, as he did before, send the team along at a cracking gallop; but he does not think it would Se wise. The case is such thet neither risks should be taken nor pranking indulged. The Humor of the Senate. Evidently the Senate is in similar humor. Conferences are to be held over there. Some very definite policies are advised, but are rot, so far, insisted on. Men like Mr. Al- drich, keen, experienced, resolute, want to hear from all sides and all sections before taking a single step that will commit the party. The tig majority in the House has been in existence for a year, and the verdict of November in existence for a full month. The generai meaning of both verdicts—that of November,’M, and that of last November —is well understood, but details are now in crder. The republicans have a giant's strength, and a commission from the people to do a giant's work, but moderation is urged even upon the giant. He is advised not to be prodigal of the ore, nor reckless in the execution of the other. A giant's best performance is when he takes care, and observes the rules that guide ordinary men. No False Economy. But this caution, this moderation, this spirit of conference are not construed as symptoms of either cowardice or niggard- liness. That the government is to be well supplied in all of its departments {snot doubted by anybody. False economy, or economy at the wrong time, is a species of crime. This is regarded as being especially true in the case of Congress, which legislates for all the people, and has it in its power to add to hard times or to relieve hard times, as it may take a liberal or a stingy view of its duty and functions. The republican party heretofore has been on the right side of this question, and hence the belief that it will take the right side now. = ._____ ANACOSTIA HOTEL LICENSE. Appointed at a Public Meeting to Prepare a Protest. Masonic Hall, Anacostia, was well filled last night by citizens of the town who are opposed to having the excise board issue a license for the sale of liquors in the hotel now being built at the corner of Harrison and Fillmore streets. Mr. A. N. Canfield of the Anti-Saloon League presided. Addresses were made by Revs. James Mc- Laren and H. L. Stevenson, Messrs. H. A. Linger, George F, Pyles, J. H. Dony, George Thomas and Dr. Geo. W. Fisher. After discussing the matter at much length the chair appointed the following commi*tee to file a protest before the excise board and also to ask citizens who have sizned the pe- tition for a license to withdraw their names from the same: Dr. Geo. W.Fisher,chairman; A Committee Messr: H. A. Linger, Jame: George F. Pyles, David E. H: M. Green, Mrs. M. Porter Snell, M Lean, Mrs. George Bowman, Mrs. J. T. Harrison, Mrs. J. H. Sim n, M Wi. H.

White of room 108, Washington Loan and Trust building, was this afternoon ignored by the grand jury. The case attracted consider- abl2 attention when it came up for prelim- inary hearing in the Police Court October 16 last. Mrs. Lockwood was accused of af- fixing libelous signs to the door of Mr. White's office. Charges as follows were also Malcolm Brenner, emb2zzlement; Samuel B. Smith, embezzlement, and Celia Sey- mour and Henry Crowner, adultery. Indictments were reported against the following: Marcellus Ridgly, alias Frank C. Anderson, forgery; William Sutton, rob- bery; Joseph Graham, larceny from the person; Paul Joiner, aiias John Dixon, alias John Adams, housebreaking; Harry Stewart, Charles Stewart, Williari’ Muilin, Edmund Fields, housebreaking. ——— Hotel Arrivals. ge Thomas, Grand Jury's ignored: Va.
