RaId on Lotterv Mon.

NEW YORK, August 8.--By direction
of District Attorney John McKeon, a
force of tbirty-two detectives, under
command of Robert PinkertOn and
Superintendent Bangs, to day raided
the policy and lottery shops Of Zacha-
riah L. Simmons, capturing ten prison
ers and all the paraphernalia used in
the business. Among those arrested
were William e. Simmons, brother OF
Zachariah, who Is now at Saratoga;
Daniel j. Bernstein, the general mana
ger, aud Jacob Nathan, who, 1t Is said,
has an interest In the business.
The places rai,lad on were the print.
ing offices, No 30 Vesey street, the
Bowery and Houston street place and
the headquarters at No. S6S Bowery.
At all these places the business was
found in full operation.
John Simon, Fred Thompson and
Fred G. Thompson, printers, were cap
tured with the type in their hands and
kilograms announcing the result of the
drawings before them. The detectives
had 90 timed the raid that they could
capture the parties Immediately after
the kilograms had been received, and
they would be in che full flush of busi-
ness. The wArrnats were issued by Re
corder Smyth on ofidavits submitted
by Samuel B. Deal.
Tho printers we're arrested on the
charge of publishing by printing an &C.
count Of an illegal lottery. The books,
papersand furniture of the raided places
made great pile, and two policemen
remained in the District Attorneys Of
hce all night to guard it.
Recorder Smyth fixed the bail on
the part of the principals at $4,000, the
printers at $500 and the clerks at 81, o.
90. John Simon, Daniel j. Bernstein,
Gustave Schmidt and the two Thomp-
sons succeeded In procuring bondsmen
but William L. Simmons, Jacob Ma
than, George Dominick, John O'Neil
and Joseph Lang were not so fortunate,
and were com mitted to the Tombs for
the night.
Mr.. McKeon says he is determined to
break up the business and punish tn q
offenders. The penalty is tive years in
prison and a heavy fine. The police
were not employed in the business at
all. Heretofore when raid was pro-
posed the gamblers always procured
word in advance and the attempt was
frustrated.

some hard QuestiOns. .


New York Herald.
What is the present Democratic par.
ty anyhow?
Is it anything better than q mob?
Is it agreed upon any one point of
policy?
1t has wise and capable men among
its leaders, but it usually snubs and
sends them to the rear. 1t has not
even resolution enough to seize upon
the NEST evident and plainly expedient
policy; its Senators have in the last
few weeks wasted days in idle disputes
about the tariff, when the Opportuni-
ty lay before them to move the repeal
Of the whole intricate and needless
internal tax system, and make their
play before the country on that policy.
No, Mr.. Tilden was right when he
said that there would be no Demo-
cratic success until there is u Demo.
cratic party.

EheIrIsh COnStab aIary.

DUBLIN, August 8--A circular to the
ROYAL Iris Constab alary, dated August
4 and signed by Colonel Robert Bruce
the Inspector General, has been issued,
He says he has learned with profound
pain and regret of the grave discredit
thrown upon tha force by the circular
of the Limerick police addressed to
their comrades, with the evident inten.
ton of obtaining contribution to sup.
port their demands.
He cannot too strongly reprobate the
conduct of the police Of those places
who respond to the circular. He says
he is unwilling. to believe that the move
ment has been encouraged by iarge
number of the more experienced mem.
bers of the force, but that they should
have permitted 1t to occur Is serious
disgrace. He should have expected
that the recent application 20 Parlia-
ment for 918, 900 for extra pay would
have inspired the men with sufficient
confidence to abstain from any illegiti-
mate course.
He ha never before received repre-
sentatioDs that the pay was generally
inadequate. Some matters mentioned
in the circular, he says, have for some
time engaged his attention, but he now
feels that the undisciplined action OF
the men, especially If persevered In,
must cause change of feeling which
will certainly retard the efforts to i'm
prove the condition of the fcrce.
The Times, in an editorial article on
the discomfort of the Irish constabula'
~, says "No government could yield
to q threat of strike from servants
whose duties compel the State to keep
them in q condition Of armed mobiliza'
ton. Mr.. Trevelyan, Chief Secretary
for Ireland, was justified yesterday IN
using firm language on the subject "
It's rumorad in Dublin that General
John Duncan, commandant Of the
Royal Irish Constabulary Department
here, and several inspectors, are ABOUT
10 resign from the force.

Al Uufortuua,e young Man.

The young man named Frank Smith,
who was fined this morning for being
drunk, says that for over seven months
past he has been working about three
miles from Pennsgrove, ard that last
week he was paid $3.50 for his work. He
had the money In his room, and last
Thursday night his room mate disap.
peared, and with him Smiths hard
earnings. The victim came to this city
in hopes of finding the man who had
taken his money, and very foolishly
commenced to drink to drown his sor-
row. The consequence is that now he
is laRguishing in q cell.

Mr.. Barlow turned him out one day
tettered around the ankles to take lit

was 30 pleased with air and exercise
that he concluded to prolong his stay
