after assuring me, in voluble swallow

which our crowded streets won't permit

was mt it a curious coincidence that all
four of the Park plans adjudgcd best

which were handed in, were drawn up by
New Workers and three of them were
employees in the Offices or grounds of
the Central Park. Competitors Of this

We, the incorrupible people of this
immaculate city, have been almost ire
coyerably shocked this week at the lob
byism, bribery and easy Legislative vir-
tue just developed in our considerably
younger State-slster, Wisconsin. Our
respectable dailies have all had editorial
filings at her, aud all unspotted readers
have cried, Il" shame" and cast the first
stone. Sine we said to cur Devlin---
"get thee behind me, Satan" we have
assumed the virtues if We had them not.
Rancid Col poration and Legislative butter
won't melt III our yirtuous mouths any
more and we can't think OF one of the
family of states feeding on anything but
the really sweet and genuine CRASHED.
| We forgot that the virus o. contagion
like the small pox, after having free
couls; ind convalesence over the trunk
and center of life, expends its weakened
energies upon the extremities, which are
last to exhibit the corruption and last to
recover. Poor Wisconsin is likely to be
a very greatly Badgered state on account
of this :awkward fall from exceeding grace;
but, in the name of our own progress
towards recovering from picking and
stealing, protest.
Mayor Tiemann is doing wonders in
making hard the way of the transgressor
Having squelched' all the policy and
ticket agencies he could lay his magiste
rial hand on here, he looked anxiously
about him for new lotteries to conquer
He soon became convinced that the lot
teries having their central Offices in 9th
or states though once legal, hayeceascd to
be so. Especially was this the case il
Georgia. He therefore dispatched Ser
jeant Birney, confidential detective
with letters and credentials to the Gov
ernor of Georgia to break up the lotter
les of Swan d Co. and others. He re-
ceived the cordial cooperation of tn,
Governor and law officers of Georgia
and in almost no time all the parties there
were arrested and acquisitions were SEN
on for the agents here-among them Ben
Jamin Wood, brother OF our late invinci
bic Mayor Wood who was equal to any
thing except breaking up lotteries anC
his own oaths. The prompt cooperation
OF Georgia in this matter is worthy q
all praise. This kind of intcrjudicia
comfy Is pleasant to see, especially il
cases like this where untold sums, wruna
! by frauds from toiling and ignorant thou
sands, can be interposed to defeat til,
ends of justice. Our citizens and au
thorities | know will be happy to recipro
cate in the same spirit whenever an oc
sion for it arises. Those two hiehl,
respectable and very fraternal papers, tn,
Heratd and Times have advertised thi.
Georgia lottery swindle very largely
sometimes covering whole side Of thos,
stupendous sheets at once, notwithstand
ing such advertising is criminal Of
fence, punishable with fine and imprison
ment.
BY the way it is rumored that thes,
two papers have been bought up by tina
