Chicago Gamblers and Democratic Politicinns in the Toil Cnicaco, Nov, [Spocial egram to Tue Bre.]—The West Side Racing associa- tion is now on the defensive. Ed Cc n, the manager of the tracks, has been indicted by the 1 jury for fostering pool selling ou his West Side track, but at the same time hehas secured the indictment of half tho democratic politicians of Chicago. The in- dictment of Corvigan was brought aboit in o most peculiar way, As near as can be ascer- tained there are three factions which com- pose the present grand jury—friends of the horsemaf, friends of his cuemies and sowe who are not. implicated either way; and sinco the jury first commenced there had been a constant squabble over the matt which has foally resulted in tho indictment of every guiity man, whether he bea friend of the demo. 1¢ city administration or not. A pile of 147 indietments was handed to Judge Taley this morning, On each of them was inscribed the name of the gambler or poolsclier. T'he and jury went into the matter from the entlemen bookmuakers of Washington Park to the sports of n's West Side race track and the gamblers of Clark street, The list comprises all the bookmakers known to the profession who took part in any of last summer’s enterprise in Chicago. A few may have escaped. It they did it was because they were formotten by Ed Corrizan, his, encmics and the police. This has developed intoa pretty triangular fight. The police werereluctantly drawn into it, but when once before the grand jury the eaptains, lieutenants and_ detectives full statenients of their information, Corrigan set the ball to rolling, and _his evi- dence produced the first butch of thirty in- dictments, which called Jo®Muclkin, E. Doan, John Marks, Al Hankins and others to the criminal court to give bail. The grand jury did not stop on the bookmakers. The faro dealers were brought under fire and all the well kuown ones are on the list. The states attorney says the evidence is ample for con- viction 'y case, provided the informers can be held to tho stories they have already related. It is the severest blow that gamb- ling has ever received in Chicago. i P ek Nebraska and lowa Pensions, Wasnixaroy, Nov. 25.—[Special Telegram toTie Ber.]—The following pensions were granted Nebraskans todav: * Original— Archy C.

HIS ADDRESS TO OMAHA WORKINGMEN. Arteries ralian Government Control of the of Trade and the An Ballot System Strongly Advoeated, Standing room was at a premium in th large coucert hall in the Young Men's Chi tian assoctation building last night. Every seat was occupied, chairs filled the aisles, anda row of peoplo flanked around the of the room. The drawing card was Te rence V. Powderly, general master workman of the Knight's of Labor of North America, who, on his way from the Denver convention, stopped a day iv Omaba o visit his many friends, At 8 o'clock the “standing room only’ card was hung out, and five minutes later as Mr. Powderly entered the room ho was welcorr by thundering applause, The gentleman v ted to the platform, which was occupied the master worknien of the following ights of Labor associations: Powers, leming, No. 10,7 Monnagher, 3. Tierney, Nc Pospisil wanson, No, 1203 J. C. J._Crad jock of Lincoln, v, and Rev. Williums of St. Burnabas church. Upon being_introduced by the latter gen- tleman Mr. Powderly spoke substantially as follow 2 “Mr. Chairman, gentlemen and ladies—T have just finished two weeks of hard labor in your ‘interests. I want to say that a_great change has taken place since I was through the westa few years ago, not ouly inyour city, but everywlhere. It would seem that the country is prosperous, but when we turn aside from” the palaces of the rich and the great_avenues of trade and look upon the poverty flats we must realize that something 18 wrong. “One night last winter I knocked at the door of a miner’'s cabin. I made the notes I wanted and invited myself to supper and ac- cepted the invitation. The man told me L could mot stay. He said, ‘You cannot eat what we have, and if you could there will be nothing for us.” The table was at last sot, and on that table, for the man, his wife and nine children—there was nothing but corn mush, [ asked him how long things had been thus, and he told me since Thanksgiv- ing day, and it was then February, 1 asked wlhiat was the irouble. Right there, in the richest country in the world that man and hundreds of others lived, with not enough to eat! ““This is the condition of affairs in my home, and I now ask is it just that four or five men should sit_arouna a little table in some room in New York and say just how much coal should be mined. In Nebraska rou pay $16 per ton for that same coal, but you ave still better off than the people in my home, for hers o your corn, which I am told you burn, as well as eat, but even with this condition of affairs something must be wrong, or this coal would not command such a price even in Nebraska,” Mr. Powderly then told the story of the knights owning a coal mine and railroad in Otio, but were frozen ont by the other cor- porations. “This,” said he, “shows that the government should take hold of the avenues of trade and control the great arteries that carry thé products to and fro. Call this socialism if il, but, if it is, I see a great many socialists before me iu’ this vast audience tonight, Many of our friends tell us that it is social- ism to ask the government to regulate the carrying of frioght. If 1t s, then it is social- ism for the government to carry the ovder for the goods. We are laboring for the time 0 come when the government shalllook after these matters. 1f the officers of a national bauk atiempt to turn these institutions \into a position to benefit private individuals, tho comptroller steps in and in ashort time the officers are sent where they wear striped clotnes, Now, if the government has a right to dictate how banks shall be run it certainly has the right to regulate the railroads. “In this state and in Coloaado, as well as in Obio, New York and New Jersey, the rail- roads coutrol the state, and I ask, what is the useof having two governments? Why not turn the whole thing over to the railroads? “You ask how this can be prevented. The answer is an easy one, and _it1s by the adop- tion of the Australian ballot law. “Idon't know how politics are run in Ne- braska, but [ know how they are managed in our state. On theday of election the fore- man of a mine stands atthe door of the poil- ing place, and as his men come up they are given their tickets and are watched until the ballots are cast. If these tickets arenot cast, the men are discharged on the morrow. You'tell methat these men are cowards Turn with me tonight and sce a littlo family ina cottage with starvation staring them in the face.

There he met a man who held a_mortgage on his propercy. ‘This man banded him a ticket and said, ‘This is the ticket to vote.) The man voted, but it was the mortgage and not theman who voted, aud I wunt to tell you that thero are thous- ands of those wuiortgages voting each and every year. he saloonkeepers of our state do not sell liquor on election day, but they hire fellows to do the work and they go out and save the nation. The front doors of their saloons are not open, but the back ones are and I know what I am saying. These same sa- loons, while they are not open, are filled with men who are drunk. These voters go out, and av the polls in that maudlin condition they vote laws for you and me, Yosterday 1 had the pleasure of listening to an address of the newly elected senator of Wyoming, and, besides this, I am glad to say i new state they have incorporated onstitution a clause that no Pink- erton men shall ever come within their bor: ers to exerciso their authority. Look at this man Pinkerton. 1f he was inany other coun- try than ours there would be a price fixed upon his head. Ho hires men from the slums and brothels of our large cit What do they do? They place them- selves on record as murderers, Under such a condition of affairs how long will it be before this country will be driven into open rebellion! The knights may go down; the trade’s unions may bo brokenup, but it will result in the upbuilding of a socioty that will carry the torch and the ussassin's inife. But our organization will not go down, for, thani God, our order is stronger today than it was one year ago, even if we hdve ot formed an alliance with the democrats or republicans. We are not in politics, but we are where we want to waten them," Speaking of the great New York Central strike, Mr. Powderly stated that the reason why the men were discliarged was because they were Knights of Labor, “That strike was a benefit to the organization,” continued he, “forsince chat day laboring men have heen crowding our assemblies, which fact in itself shows that much good cawe out of the New York strike. I go to Fiorida tonight, where T talk to an alliauce ussembly, We shall discuss many matters, some of which may be of a political nature, and while I do not know as we shull ever go into politics to such ansextent as to come out @ party we want to be prepared to accomplish our e “I want you to organize in this city and exhibit your strength,and while I do not think yo arelike a lot of lunatics, and do not kuow how to organize, I do think you fail to take advantage of the opportunity that presents itself.” As Mr. Powderly was about to leave the platform the tall’ form of Allan Root, the sage of the Little Pupiln towered up in" the rear of the hall whilo the owner of the form propounded the following question: *‘We are going into the city fight, and the independents have pre- ured to nominate councilmen iu every ward. ow would you advise the Knights of Labor assemblies o support our candidates !

Mr. Smith, replying, declared that the gov- ernment had the strongest hopes that the Belring sea negotiations would be successful.

Ample measures would be takon to meet the distress in Ircland, Premier Salisbury on the Tarifr. Luxpox, Nov. 25.—In the house of Lords tonight Premier Salisbury in his address said he would not say that England's trade with America and the colonies would imme- diately compensate her for the loss caused by thenew American tariff, but it would be a motive for preventing the territories in Aftica from falling into the hands of nations exercising a prohibition in trade. It was lamentably true that the colonics did not fol- low the mother land in free trade, yot it was a fuct that the trade of Australia increased faster than elsewhere. Replying to queries, he said he could not discus the recent financial crisis as negotiations in progress were of a confidential character, Rogarding the troub- les in Tipperary he said the league combina- tion there armed to defraud, oppress and co- erce the honest trader, The task of restoring prosperity to Ireland would be hopeloss un- less such combinations were destroyed.
