The New York Election Mayor Wood
and the Police.


and the Police.
1t is stated that Mayor Wood, of New York,
has made ample provision to ensure order at
the election in that city, on Tuesday next, and
to give free opportunity TO every voter to de-
posite his ballot without fear or molestation.
He has issued the following order to the police;
."Whilst the right of suffrage and free exer-
else of opinion in the selection of candidates
for Office is possessed by policemen, in common
with other citizens, the privilege OF active par
tcipation In partizan contests is expressly and
directly denied In becoming policemen GER
tain personal rights are given up for the public
good among others those appertaining to the
politician. The policeman cannot be poll
tician. He cannot electioneer as such. lie Is
not allowed to use the power OF his othce to
overawe, to intimidate or influence the voter
1t is his duty to protect every man IN the exer-
else of these rights SO far as they may be in
terfered with by others, by breach Of the
peace. 1t has been represented to me that
members of the police department have been
in the practice of taking an active part IN
politics, about the time and on the day OF cleo
ton, and that in some wards OF the city citizens
of opposite political opinions have been denied
their protection, and at times virtually excluded
from the pols. NOW, thefeioie, .he ooJoso y
this order is to give notice that every member
of the police department is entirely excluded
from ali participation in political contests, except
so far as the right to vote is concerned, and
that on the day OF election November 9th those
policemen, who may be stationed at each cleo
ton poll, shall preserve the peace, protect every
citizen in the free exercise OF his franchise,
keep the polls clear, afford to every voter free
ingress and egress to the inspectors, and grant
to all citizens, Of every political sentiment,
equal, protection and rights.
"The penalty for violation of this order will
be dismissal from office by the Board of Police
Commissioners, upon the necessary proof that
the offence has been committed.
By order,
FERNANDO WOOD, Mayor"

AMERICAN JEws.-The San Francisco Sun,

AMERICAN JEws.-The San Francisco Sun,
in an article upon the present condition of the
Jews, closes with the following paragraph:
"The American jew is only less proud of
his country than his religion. To say he is a
mere dweller upon the soil because it affords
him the means of support, is TO libel the most
noble traits Of his character. The graves of
his ancestors are around him. His heaven is
as near to him on the shores Of the Pacific as
upon the sacred Mount Of Olives or within the
classic walls Of Jerusalem. His God is ON
npotent, omnipresent, and omnscient. He
has knelt before that awful presence alike on
the deserts Of Arabia and the frozen zones OF
Siberia and why should he here, where the
law recognizes his religion and his political
privileges, withhold an affection TO which he is
impelled by every consideration of prosperity
to himself and future happiness to his chill
dren2 His respect for our laws is shown in
the fact that he seldom violates them. His
wealth has gone towards building up and en-.
riching our cities. He cultivates the arts, and
goes heart and soul with our active citizens in
every useful enterprise. He quarrels but little
heads mob--never. You will find him II
our courts Of justice, on the bench, at the
bar, in the jury box, but seldom ever arraignet
for heinous criminal offence. This is tb,
American jew. Let his good qualities be imi
tated his bad ones should be forgotten"

Mrs. SwIssHELM ON BABY Shows.--Mrs
Swisshelm, Of the Pittsburg Saturday Visiter,
having performed the "disagreeable duty ofat-
tending Barnum's Baby Show at Pttsburg, calls
it a "very stupid affair" and expresses her
opinion of these exhibitions thus:
"The poor dupes of mothers are to be pitied,
rather than blamed some of them are decent,
innocent women who have no definite idea Of
the light in which they place themselves and
most are too nearly idiotic to be accountable
But it is not right that humanity should be
degraded thus in these persons nobody ex-
poets any respect for humanity from Barnum
The parties really to blame for these exhibitions
are city authorities who grant licenses, and
people of ordinary sense who go to see any
thing so totally devoid Of attractions. Ugly,
stupid women, and ordinary, vulgarly-dressed
children are no great rarity in this great re-
public; and anybody who gives quarter to
see a lot of Them deserves pair of donkey's
ears The exhibition is akin to the old model
artist shows, and when Barnum and Wood visit
a city to bring shame on the mothers OF it by
one of these shows, the sons of that city should
see them safely past the suburbs on pair of
rails" !
