Public disgust at the whole spec ‘tacle is quite impartial. | New Yorkers deeply aympathize with the residents of Columbus Park who protested against the visitation of May-day orators. “We| do not want these disturbers bringing lazy, idle people here to make frenble. We do not want our children listening to their talk.” ‘The gang that marched up Broadway from the May-day meet- fing yesterday, cursing and blaspheming, insulting women and reviling churches, was a diegrace to the city and an outrage to decent citizen- | ship. To suggest that the leaders of such a crew speak for anybody bat themeclves or for any purpose higher than to exploit their own contemptible vanity is to insult intelligence. Labor wanta none of them. The public turns sick at the mention of them. What they think of each other no one cares. he I.

MOVE for a three-cent fare on the Fort Lee Ferry, which A crosses the river from the foot of West One Hundred and Thirtieth street, has at last secured the attention of the New * York Board of Aldermen, who promise to have the Board of Estimate ‘make an investigation. The Public Service Corporation, which runs most of the trolley Hines, ges and electric light plants in New Jersey, operates the ferry "through a subsidiary company. So far the controlling corporation has turned a deaf ear to petitions for a reduction of fares. By renting its water front at West One Handred and Thirtieth etreet to the Ferry Company for a terminal the city profits to the extent of five per cent. of the gross receipts—which now represents @m income of $15,000 to the municipal exchequer. If the ferry fare were reduced to three cente the city would get $9,000—reckoning on préent income. On the other hand, experience proves that reducing the cost of eemmuters’ transportation results in swift benefit to the commmnities effected, increases trave) and multiplies receipts. It i thermore, that business in the One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street istrict is sure to profit by an influx of customers from New Jerse: to a degree that would compensate the city many times over for the} loss of $6,000 ferriage income. Nor is it certain that even the 86,000 sacrifice need be pert The lease of the ferry terminal property provides that if the business tof the ferry company increases (o between $400,000 and $150,000 the tty shall receive six and one-half per cent. of gross receipts, and that §f it exceeds $450,000 the city shall receive seven per cent. The ferry’s emnnal groas receipts have already increased to about $300,000, It would seein, therefore, that if decreased fares mean increased Dasiness, the city in every respect stands to gain in the future more than it might lose in the immediate present. The Board of Fsti- mate should go into the matter thoroughly. Tt is no better pol for city than for individual to be a penny wise and a pound foolish. OE ce Everybody halts but Villa.

OW is it that a penniless pickpocket caught in the act, arrested, booked for trial, can immediately command bail, | prs, an elaborate defense, all of which cost money ? The answer is ‘simple to those who know. Thieves who do regular business in this} town have strong combinations for mutual benefit and protection— combinations with directors, counsel and plenty of funds. After six years of experience in the Court of General Sessdons, in the course of which he has presided at more (an one thousand erim- dal trials, Judge Edward Swann hos prepared a series of artic rime in New York. His discussion of the Pickpocket Syndicate in Whe Sunday World Magazine to-morrow gives an amazing wlimpse into e clever methods by which crook-protectors frame up alibis and work ton the sympathies of complainants. When the pickpocket is in ‘rouble the syndicate can furnish a weeping mother, a pathetic wife fand baby, cash to buy off the complainant, or, if all else fails, a sub stitute to serve a sentence. That such expensively Justice point to organization backed by brains and money nobody can doubt after reading Judge Swann’s article, He makes a strony plea ‘for legislation which will give criminal procedure a b ent through the falsities of trumped-up defense, t- . - on ter chance to May’s first night was a frost.

As to “Spring Cleaning’’ in the Heart. © you know why humorists are always such simple, natural, every-day sort of people, with nothing at all picturesque or distinguished or eves: “intellectual” looking about them? Because more than anybedy else on earth they resemble their mother, Nature, who is thé Queen of Humortets.
