THE LONG sTHlKE
Nothing sew has occurred Ia

Ut the ~. Johns Park dxp't, gave ny
work On the ground that they were

Lcp,ts are rrow.l. i with freight, the
merchants VI the city ARE 6sAlinyover
with indigns lon, and the railroad

ANOTHER BRAVE POLICEMAN.
Policeman Flay, whose name b In
keeping with bis best keown char
acten, yesterday draeged bis wife
through the street, and arTaigned her
before . police magistrate, on the
charge Of disorisrly conduct The
poor xom"n had gone to him 70 get
mosey with which tn ray the rent.
A. he refp> to d" il, she followed
him with her bab. in her arms. This
In the eyes Of the astute onlcer Of the
law constituted . bssach Of the peace
and he arrested the mother u his
child aud had her locked 20 all night

TINE NEW YORK POST 0FT!cE.
It Is shown by Mr.. Pearson's staiis-
tics for the last nsessl year, that the
tremendous Increase in the large
postOl1lces does not neces-arily call
for corresponding increase Of ex-
l'enses,-at least when . gs,od oEg2ni-
ration Il once effected. For the year
just closed, the rseripts 1t the New
York PussolIIce, were q, an, 'sAt
while 'h0se Of the year preceding,

y lOl additional employees, and the
increase In the wages and salaries.
paid, was only a. 100 The other
Expenditure were but sllghtly in
creased, and the NJ revenue for the
, MT year va q, SSI ,Olo, against ~
S., 90. This b another argument In
favor ofcheap postage.
NIGHT DUTY on THE BENCH.
The police justices do not like the
new law which requires them to sit
ut night TO hear e.ses 1t Police Head
quarters, and they are trying to
sbirk their duty, thus imposed upon
them. The law IL intended for the
protection Of persons arrested on flin,-
~ charges, ut . late hour, when 1t is
or impossible to procure
bondsmen. Many innocent men !
nnsj wsssnen have s,een suijcctcd to !
The modification and annoyance OF !
being Doe'ked up In dirty ell, for . !
whole night, simply because IN enc |
my has preferred charges and occas-
|Oned the arrest Of the accused after !
business h"uns. The police mag
'strstcs who are ealled upon to sit on !
y three nights csch during each |
month, think that police captains |
md serge.nts have the right under |
he law, to take TAI: when court 10
mt In session, and that, therefore,
he Prrsence Of the Justice h MT ncc-
,asary.
One very wise Justice says: 1.-THE
Az h absurd. Only case< Of felony
comes before the magistrate ut Pc
Ice Headquarters, and those are tie
'ery cases Ia which bail h not likely
o be offered. The tendency nova
lays h toward codd'ing persons and
their conviction more diiIi-
ult. Every tendency IL In behalf Of
he criminal, and not Of tue people.
Every crook and dodge that ingen-
ous lawyers can devise, II brought
to project criminals from
Just ~ II it was . new thing for
Awyers to defend their clients! !
Another jvst.s'e says that the execu-
Ion Of the law will be y os,n totbievg.
nd burglars. Thus: A imam acc0sts
policeman. aud tells hin, that I've
as been assaulted. He points out
10 xssailant. and the two are taken
