ed a communication from some of the DWELL
ers in Fourth st., in which they complain
of gambling house and gang of thieves
of which man called "Big Candy" is the
proprietor and head. The place is No. 10
West Fourth-st. The cowardly ruflan who
keeps it threatens to take the life of tho re-
porter who exposed him. Mr.. Kelso knows of
the existence of this murderous dead fall,
within few hundred yards Of Police Head
quarters. Candy robs his neighbors, threatens
the lives of citizens, and declares he will have
any officer dismissed who interferes with him.
What does our worthy Superintendent propose

Some of our clergy of the high ritualistic species
who have been casting loving glanccs ct the Greek
Church, will doubtless be grieved to hear that in
Russia there is still not 50 much liberation toll
Grant man might DESIRE for the Estab-
shed Church there is treated precisely if he had
committeda felony. Sometimes the courts may refuse
to convict such pervert, but he Is tried all tho
same. Prince Gortschakotf plainly declares hipsef
to be opposed to toleration and thinks that so far
it has been tried 1t has multiplied sects mischiev-
Ousy. Some of these sects are frightfully immoral
in their practices but the less offensive are usually
winked ct. The advance of liberal opinions in
Russia, Of which we hear so much, seems to be no
more than comparative. The Emperor may be de-
sirous of promoting needed reforms, but he remains
irresponsible, and comedies refuses according to
bis personal desires opinions. He occupies nat
ural aud hereditary position of hostility to the
mobiles and out of this often has happened before
may come some material good to the proletary. So

the world may hope but for anything like repub-

From Washington we have the encouraging
report that progress is absolutely making in
the work of oodifying the Customs laws OF the
United States. The venerable ex-Commissioner
of Customs, the Hon. Nathan Sargent, has been
ON a tour among the CustOm-House officers,
and. though he has not seen many OF
them, his conclusions on the SUBJECT
are very sound. He thinks the SYM
metry of the original system of Customs
laws has been destroyed by the lamentations,
revisiOns, and additions which successive Con-
oresses have piled upon it. AS is very well
iaown, the law of 1899, in relation to imports
and exports, is the basis of pretty much all
existing Treasury regulations and decisions

Colonel James fisk IT,. has barely escaped one
kind of fame of which Byron speaks. He was not
shot in battle nor his name spelt wrong in the
gazette: but it was reported in London, July ID,
that be had been shot in the Orange riots in New
York. And, sad TO say, there no lamentation in
a community which has felt the spoilers hand in
Erie stock. But, according to The Economist of July
15 Erie shares advanced upon the report of Fisk's
death. What sad life must his be whose death is
expected to help cell the stock Of Company whose
affairs he has in charge.

glitteriac, but indefinite, dispatches relative
10 the taking in block of the whole of the
new five per cent loan in Europe. 1t is suf-

information upon the subject, but the new

marketed. American securities never stood
