The certainty that conditions will get decidedly worse until with the coming of winter they reach a cli- Max, 1s something to excite grave apprehension.

And when it hears them say in effect, ‘We observe that you suffer, but what are you going to do about it?” it realizes to what a length of contemptuous presumption the opera- oe; ; tors have gone in their purpose to punish the strikers at the expense of the public. _ Their attitude has become offensive and intolerable. .

Ts it a pleasing reflection that a pedestrian strolling a Steps off Broadway at one of its most brilliantly | Uighted corners could find himself at the entrance to a den of thieves? It is literally true that a man standing op the front steps of one of the TenderJoin's beat known hotels would be within a stone's throw of the resort in Which Capt. Craft was murdered and of similar danger- dus resorts in its immediate neighborhood. It is dls tressing to learn that in this police precinct, the moral ess of which Capt. Sheehan has repeatedly cer- to, there are sixteen unsuppressed gambling-houses, them, at leqst, a visitor is not done to death, what- wer happene to his cash. i “There are hundreds, even thousands, of strangers in _ New York who have passed over the route taken by » Capt, Craft. They have gone into the same resorts, sat "at the same tabler, drank and caroused with the same ‘harpies and escaped, so far as the police records go, with their lives. Fate was kindlier to them than to the rich Long Ieland rounder. Certainly they have not the police to thank for their safety. ‘Wf such places are to exist, whether with or without the payment of blackmail, the police owe it to the city’s reputation that they should be made safe for patrons 2 by the actual supervision of detectives, . A MAOISTRATE’S REBUKE, Magistrate Brann’s rebuke of a policeman should not © dé permitted to pass unnoticed. The Magistrate, his ee he off, was speeding down Jerome avenue with ee i Pee thease in an automobile. A mounted policeman overhauled and stopped the party and placed them under arrest for violating the speed law. Whereupon the Magistrate, holding court in the auto, declared of- fictally that he was not going faster than the law al- “Jowed, discharged the prisoners and reprimanded the This was “quite American,” an Interesting shirt- sleeve administration of justice.

In the intervals of quarrels the couple loved ‘other devotedly. But in a household where the Pmsband stays out all night and the wife picks up ad- , fat the race track the course of true love runs even less smooth than elsewhere.
