No sympathy, on any account whatever,
is due the Italian Nuzzo, who goes to the
Island for half year for compelling o
crippled boy to beg for him. There are
people sentimental enough to urge that
such beings as Nuzzo and his victim must
live, and as both are physically in
competent to work beggary is their
only resort. But this plea is WORTH
less. The Commissioners of Charities
and Correction are charged with the
care of absolute incapables, and the pa
drone's crippled beggars are far better off
in charitable institution than whom at the
mercy OF their masters, who take oil that
the sufferers beg and give them only
scraps and abuse in return. Besides, the
padrones are all dangerous characters

guards alone prevented massacre. In the
admirable behavior of these men in such a
critical moment we find gratifying evidence
OF the advantage secured by taking the State
prisons out of the hands of the politicians
and placing them under business manage
ment. The guards are now chosen for
their qualifications and not appointed by
political influence. This is why they proved
equal to the trying occasion on Friday last.
The shooting of the convict Barrett was a ne
cessity, and the manner in which it was done
saved many lives. The guards cannot be
too highly commended for their steady and
unfiinching courage. At the same time it
is not expedient that any men, however
faithful and resolute, should be exposed to
such deadly peril, and something ought to
be done to guard against repetition of the
danger

Two at least of our city pastors will to-
day discuss the anti-Jewish crusade Of Mr..
Corbin Mr.. Moment looks upon it as an
insult not only to Israelites, but 10 Chris
tians also, and will SO treat it and Mr.. Mac
Arthur will demonstrate clearly enough
that whatever may be the prejudices of ho-
tel keepers and others, in the sight of God
Jew and Gentle are alike and equal. The
Jewish Sabbath question. under the aspect
of rest day, will occupy Mr.. Cleaver's
thought and time, and the beer question.
receive elucidation from John p. Garish,
M. d., with special reference to the
usefulness of lager beer. These are
moral questions, but not necessarily re-
ligious. Mr.. Knapp will start theological
discussion on the symbolism of the sword Of
fire which guarded the tree OF life in Eden,
SO that the orchard thieves could not re-
enter there ; MIR. Blake will tell his people
how to enjoy Christianity in summer time
and then will 60 off to illustrate it in the
country Mr.. Acres will make the rock Of
salvation the foundation for the merchants
as we'll as for other mems success in life,
and Mr.. Putnam will give his school of
liberalists an idea of what the new hope is
that inspires him for the future. A plat
form rather than pulpit topic is the
colonization of Kansas by idle mechanics
of New York and other Atlantic cities which
Father Swembergh will urge upon his
hearers this evening Having spent many
years as a missionary in that State he will
be.able to give reliable as we'll as desirable
information to intending settlers.

Thoughts for Country Democrats.

There is q process of treating glass by
blows as if it were copper, and yet the very
ingot that defied the hammer flies to pieces
suddenly sometimes without feathers
weight of pressure from outside. After the
same fashion the democratic party of
New York has been exploded more than
once by internal dissensions, though it
never has crumbled under the hardest
pounding of its political adversaries. In
every instance this interior weakness is
traceable to the influence Of some one man
and his personal followers. The most men,
orable example happened in the old age
of Martin Van Buren,. That fracture lasted
many years, and cost the national demo-
cratic party wing victory in the Presiden-
tial canvass OF 1S48. Mr.. Tilden, q youth.
full dependent and skilful pupil of Mr..
Van Buren,, had considerable to do with the
original explosion, and also with the
cementing of the fragments in 1852. He
understands the whole subject practically
as we'll as theoretically, and because of this
experience he is doubly responsible if in
the pursuit of personal ambition he causes
any breach in New York which will forfeit
the democratic chances Of national sue
cess in 1880. In the country counties of the
State there are many thousands of demo-
Gratis who would be glad to see Mr.
Tilden reinstated in the leadership
which he once held, but not at the price of
fatal fracture of the party. Perhaps it is
expedient for them to be consulting whether
there would not be reasonable cause for
such fracture if Mr.. Tildens followers
should secure control of the coming demo-
cratic State Convention by excluding four
fifths of the democrats of this city from
representation in that body. At any rate
the subject seems suitable for their private
meditations.

Raiding Gambling Houses.

Another gambling house 'pulled!" How
often in the course Of even few years the
newspapers have occasion to repeat this
generally piquant piece Of news, and how
often the innocent citizen is deluded by
this evidence of the activity Of the police
into the hope that at last the laws against
gambling houses are to be enforced with
vigor and will I! But it always ends with
single squirt. And it is generally squirt of
minor consequence. They usually sup
press o little place, and we never heard that
even one of the great ones was touched.
All that, as ordinarily experienced. is not
the enforcement of justice, but the use of
the machinery Of justice to inspire terror
and force some gambler to come to terms.
It is blackmail system. Some keeper OF a
game has refused to pay the price de-
manded as the consideration for q
privilege to violate the law, and he is sup
pressed in order that the power of the man
who demanded the money may be demon
strated. Ordinarily, we say, that is the
real nature of these raids. But the last
raid, we believe, is not of that character.
The Society for the Prevention Of Crime is
above any suspicion of collision with
criminals, and is an organization that might
be more vigorously supported with public
advantage. 1t has made case by this act
that is of importance in the sense of its
instruction to the Commissioners of Police,
and one that forces proceeding against
the captain of the precinct under their
own rules. Those rules they can hardly
ignore in circumstances so notorious. But
the Society for the Prevention of Crime
having ventured on this ground must not
be satisfied with small success.
