committee to formulate an address to
the people of the United States and to
memorialize the president and congress
made the following report, which was
adopted: ..
To the Peoplo of the United States:
Your fellow-citizen* of the state of Lou¬
isiana opposed to lottery gambling and
lottery charters, assembled in convention
at Baton Rouge, this 7th day of August,
1890, make to you this appeal for aid in
tho struggle they are engaged in with a
powerful gambling corporation, which
sits hero among us like a giant octopus,
and stretches its arms to the remotest
hamlet in the land. For your sympathy
they ask not, because that they have this
well they know by the unanimous voice
of the free press of this country, which
untouched and untouchable by lottery in¬
fluence, has denounced, in no uncertain
tones the infamy we are combating.
In 1868 the carpet-bag legislators of
Louisiana, at the Instigation of a
syndicate of gamblers, formed in
New York in 1863, composed of John A-
Morris, Ben. C. Wood, C. H. Murray afld
others, chartered the Louisiana Lottery
company, with a capital of $1,000,000, giv¬
ing it a monopoly of drawing lotteries in
the state for twenty-five years. The grant
was obtained by bribery and corrupt
means. At that time the public regarded
it with horror, and the men connected with
it were pursued with public and private
condemnation and disgrace. For ten years
it maintained itself against constant leg¬
islative assault by similar corrupt means.
In 1879 the legislature repealed this char¬
ter, a result accomplished by a majority
ol only two votes in the senate. This re¬
repeal was practically nullified l.y an in¬
junction issued by Edward C. Billings,
United States district judge for Louisi¬
ana, who held in the very teeth of
the decision of the supreme court
of the United States, reudered in
the similar case of Boyd ts.
Alabama, that an Immoral bargain, such
as this charter, was a sacred eontraet pro¬
tected by the constitution of the United
States and binding upon the police power
of a sovereign state. The same legisla¬
ture that repealed this charter This called a
constitutional convention. conven¬
tion was attacked by the lottery people
with money, with Judge Billings’ deci¬
sion, with promises to give np its monop¬
oly, to retire from politics and to allow a
provision to be inserted in the constitu¬
tion prohibiting all lotteries after Jan. 1,
1895. - ..
Several distinguished attorneys of the
lottery company were elected to this
body. The whole convention was sur-
rounded by a strong lobby of purchased
respectability. Under these combined in¬
fluences a provision was inserted in the
projected constitution reinstating the
repealed charter without the mo¬
nopoly feature, permitting the legis¬
lature to charter other lotteries,
providing that after Jon. 1, 1895,
all lotteries should be prohibited. This
provision was intended and regarded as a
compromise, and rather than defeat the
whole constitution in which It was im¬
bedded tho people adopted it with the
belief that in a few years the evil would
any
and such was the pledge of the lottery
company. Mark the result. With this
new lease of life came a jiew leaaeof
power oud a prosperity incredible. They
have practically enjoyed their renounced
monopoly by preventing every legislature
elected since 1880 from granting additional
charters. This has been accomplished by
tbe unlimited use of money by playing
upon the opposition ef good men to the
appli plication for sueh charters, and by
their r control, through th* ownership of
certain dominant politicians of both
political parties, of nominations to the
legislature. The market value of their
stock has risen from $35 per ehare In 1879
to $1,200 per share in 1890, bo that now it Is
more than double that of the whole bank¬
ing capital of the state. They have built
up tbe original capital which was never
subscribed, and have accumulated an
enormous surplus of unknown amount,
while declaring dividends of 80 to 100 par
cen. per annum, and that, too, out of only
one-half of tire net earnings, as the other
half belongs to the lessees, Howard &
Morris.
Definite information as to their list of
stockholders, officer^. profits and business
affairs cannot be obtained, as they are kept
studiously concealed from the public. The
Bcheme of their drawings has increased
from a monthly capital price of $80,000 to
a monthly capital prize of $800,000, and _J a
semi-annual prize of $600,000. ,
The aggregate of the schemes of the
monthly and semi-annual drawings is the
fabulous sum of $28,000,000 per annum, and
the aggregate of their daily drawings is
ever $20,000,000 more. They receive annu¬
ally $1,260,000 from the written policies
sold on the numbers of the daily draw¬
ing apart from the sale of the regular
printed tickets. They their' receive annually
about $22,000,000 from monthly and
semi-annual drawings. The schemes of
the last drawings are so arranged that
they can sell 75 per cent, of their tickets,
pay 10 per cent, for selling in them, lose all
the prises provldtgj for the schemes,
pay $1,000,000 for expenses and still make
(3,COO,000 profit per annum.
We make no idle assertion when we de¬
nounce these schemes as fraudulent. Even
from a lottery standpoint this company
offers to d<stribute less than 68 percent, in
prizes. No authorized lottsry on earth that
we know of ontside of Mexico is allowed
to distribute less than 70 per cent. The
chance to win a prize of any sort In one of
these drawings is about one In thirty;
whereas, if it were an honest lottery, it
would be at least one in ten. These were
the reasons which induced two postmaster
generals of the United States to exclude
it from the mails as a fraudulent lottery.
What is known as tbe daily drawing takes
place every day except Sunday—318 day* the
per annum. The scheme is baaed on
tenary combination of natural numbers
from 1 to 78, and on some days from 1 to
75, giving in the one case 78,076 and in the
other 67,525 different combinations of
three numbers each. *

$1 ticket the chance of winning a prize
85 cents is one in three; winning a
of $1.75, one in nineteen, and of winning

By.dally repitition of play thousands
poor wretches become afflicted with
“lottery craze,” and to gratify this,
and embesslement enter
households. We have the authority of
lottery that 98 per cent, of this enormous
revenue of $82,000,000 — a revenue
greater than that of any five average
states in this union — comes from
the people of this country outside
of the state of Louisiana, because its advo¬
cates hare the effrontery to ure this fact
as an argument for its recharter by the
people of the state of Louisiana. Through
the purchase of stock by its stockholders
and friends it has obtained con.vrol of a
large portion of the organized capital of
the state. Its strong hand on the financial
springs of a commercial community is so
masterful as to silence the opposition of
the cautious, and to attract the support of
the timid.
Bv tbe force and glitter of its money
power it has warped tbe judgment and
conscience of many good people, making
them, too, first, apologists for, and then
desirous of, such riches, even though they
be obtained without hoi*^r and in dese¬
cration of the dignity of labor and long
pedigree of toll. It has captured three-
fourths of tho Louisiana press elthsr by
control of tho capital invested, or by pur¬
chase, or by proprietorship.
In localities where it could not pur¬
chase the local press It lias started a hire¬
ling press of its own. To emphasize this
position we state the fact that the most
blatant arM-lottery papers of the state of
a few yet: . ago are to-day violent parti¬
sans of the lottery. Its iniquitous busi¬
ness Is blazoned by advertisements of
winnings all over the country, and it has
thus stimulated a gambling thirst in tens
of thousands of ignorant and credulous
persons, from whom it monthly receives
its enormous Ill-gotten ,ains. While the
United States postolKce department is
the principal instrument of its robbery of
the people outside of Louisiana, yet the

the matte
as a fraudulent lottery, it skulks
under the individual name of its presi¬
dent and the name of a National bank,
chartered by the National government.
It is estimated that one-third of the whole
local mail matter that passes through the
New Orleans postoffice is lottery mail, and
that $30,000 pet diem in postal notes and
money orders are paid to its stalking
horse bank. The temptation to hold on
to this power and to continue to “"raff*
this wealth has Induced these lottery peo¬
ple to violate all their promises and
pledges made to the framers of the consti-
tu ion and to the people of Louisiana, re¬
iterated again and again to its political
leaders, and In pursuance of this broken
faith they have precipitated the present
conflict by agitating for a renewal of the
charter. This agitation has drawn th* at¬
tention of the good people of this state,
hitherto sleeping, to the history and acts
of th* Louisiana lottery and the reeults of
that investigation by the legislature just
adjourned. Attempt has been made to
submit a constitutional amendment to be
voted on by the people In 1892, giving to
John A. Morris, a member of the original
gambling syndicate of 1866, one of ths
original promoters of the Louisiana Lot¬
tery company, and now its l e ss ee and lar¬
gest stockholder and his unnamed asso¬
ciates the exclusive privilege of drawing
lotteries in Louisiana for twenty-five
years, from January, 1894, In considera¬
tion of the payment to the state of $1,250,-
000 per annum.
The statement of the proposition demon¬
strates the enormity of the crime involved
in it. John A. Morris and his associates,
who neither toll nor spin, who take but
pay^no honest wage, make no products till
no field, sow no crop, rasp no harvest,
who add nothing to the sum of human
wealth or happiness, are to be authorised
by a soverign state, for a paltry participa¬
tion in the plunder, to convert bar terri¬
tory for a generation into a gambling
snare for the unwary of this whole coun¬
try, and filch from them by fraudulent
lottery schemes untold millions. There
are no limitations on this proposed
grant. There are no penalties for
its abuse; it is placed beyond
the regulating power of the legis¬
lature. All amendments tending to pre¬
vent the drawing of fraudulent lottery
schemes were voted down. This vast oor-
rupt money power is to be confronted; we
know that we have a battle to fight, such
as no people ever fought before. We
shrink net from the contest; the true sons
of Louisiana have never failed her in her
hour of need. i
They are as ready now as ever to spend
their fortunes and shed their blood in de¬
fense of her honor. Bnt this fight
is not only ours, but yours also.
Aside from the pollution of its presence,
a great part of the harm done and to be
done by thie robber of the people is beyond
the borders of this state, among the peo¬
ple of our sister states of the Union. If
tbe taint of state organized crime could
be confined within the limits of the or-
ganizing state, the evil might be small,
and the ground of complaint local; but
we protest that it is against the funda¬
mental principles of this Union, and vio¬
lative of tbe sacred sisterhood of states,
that ODe of their number should tar a pit¬
tance of revenue allow a piratical corpor¬
ation to prey upon the ignorance, the cred¬
ulity and the cupidity of the citizens of
all the other states, and to station Us
minions broadcast through the land to
violate their laws.
If any state is so shameless thus to us*
its present untrammeled power, It ought
to be, and most be, restrained by the
united power of the American people.
To that end we recommend the immedi¬
ate adoption of an amendment to the Fed¬
eral chartering constitution prohibiting any state
from or licsenjdng any lottery
or gift prise, and abolishing those already
established, and giving tha congress power
to enforce tbe prohibition bv appropriate
legislation. 4 thi i*nwtll
JL propoii tios to mmb Th
tlon, covering all this ground, except In
the abolition of exi> ting lotteries, Is now
before a committee of the United States
senate, having been introduced by Senator
Blair, of New Hampshire.
Such an amendment cannot, iu the nat¬
ural order of Until things, be put In force for
some time. that time comes, we
ask the adoption Iff the oongress of some
appropriate legislation itutlon under the existing
state of the e a— t aimed at the
heart of this devouring dragon. The leg¬
islation specially recommended by the
president and postmaster general to ex¬
clude lottery business and advertisements
from th* mall* and express companies Is
its aimed in the right direction, and we ask
speedy National adoption.
With a evil of great magni¬
tude to comet, with the dear constitu¬
tional power to crush that evil effectively,
why to ahqgld ltoWueno* the American With people hesitate
us* Jbdve- the existing con¬
gress to have th* suggested legisla¬
tion adopted speedily ?
Ws ask that all candidates of all parties
of the legislatures of tha various states be
required to pledge themselves to vote for
the amendment proposed by congress to
th* constitution of the United States,'pro¬
hibiting and abolishing state lotteries. AU
this we ask in ths name of our common
citizenship of this republic, and in behalf
of pnbUc honor, the public interest and
tha public and private welfare of the com¬
monwealth of the states.
We further request the free press to give
this address the widest publicity.

Short of Milk.
One of the worst features of the
strike will be the lack of milk to the
people of New York. Not a can of
milk cam* into the depot Saturday
morning. This will surely effect the
hospitals, orphan bakers, asylums, hotels,
restaurants, poor people and
hosts of others. .
Over 22,000 cans of milk, each can
containing morning forty quarts, the are received
every at Grand Central
depot between 1 o'clock and 4 o'clock.
About 850 milk dealers go to the depot
for milk and they were all on hand
Saturday John Burlinson morning, had and to 850 explain times Agent about
tbe strike.
Mauo milkmen who heard of the
strike, hurried over to the West Shore
railroad and purchased all the milk
they wanted. But the agents there soon
heard about the strike and raised the
price of milk from $1.88 per can to $2,
then to $5, and at last accounts were
getting $6 and $7 a can fo r it.
