beIs and that no gambling has been carried ON
there. As the prosecution was dismissed by
the Mayor, Mr.. O'Dobnelps statement is appa-
rently true. But there is o higher point sue-
gested by bis case than the character of sin
gle house. For several days past we have had
accounts Of fierce descents made by the police
on gambling houses, lottery offices, and houses
OF III ropute. But strange TO say in every in-
stance the establishments thus assailed have
been obscure petty holes Of which no one had
ever heard Dything until they were made IA
nous by their suppression. How is this? Are
there no longer any grand palaces of crime in
New York, that the police are obliged to hunt
out offenders in back slums and Third avenues?
Absurd. The Mayo and the police know very
well where the great gambling houses are the
places where rich men merchants, lawyers and

almost daily. They know likewise where 81
great lottery Offices are-the establishments
which feed and supply the small dens the police

vice. Yet, not one Of these great estab-
lishments has been molested though
