A Paradise For Rogues.

A New York psper says of the Demo-
cratic city of New York: "Murderers do
not now wait for the cover of night to
stain themselves with their fearful guilt,
They begin work with the blowing of
the whistle that summons honest labor
20 the shops and factories. " Pistols are
as commonly used on the streets as tsoth-
picks. Cashiers and clerks have huge
piles of money distracted from beneath
their very noses. All that il requisite TO
secure q fortune in diamonds and other
Jewels is to scoop them out of q shop
window. This is graphic description
of paradise of rogues. Original sin seems
to have complete control of the tuunic-
ipal limits, and metropolitan bliss has
at last risen superior to the, delights
which commonly characterize q large
city This is saying a good deal. . But
between corrupt Judges, Wall street
privileges, watered stocks and false nat
uralization certificates, New York has
fairly earned the reputation formerly
awarded to Sodom and Gomorrah. Wall
street winks at watered stocks, Police
Commissioners exchange greetings with
murderers and rowdies over whisky
punches between votes, and the Nine
teenth ward kindly takes Albany under
its tutelage. What can be more natural
than every crime in the catalogue, from
noon-day theft to daylight robbery and
murder? 1t is evident that the lives and
property of the people of New York de-
pend upon an exceedingly precarious
tenure.
