THE POLICE AND THE GAMBLERS.

THE POLICE AND THE GAMBLERS
The article which We published the other day
showing why gambling-hells continue to flour
ish in this city, does not exhibit our police in
credtable light. On the contrary, it goes far to
convict them of being either cOnspicuously
ineompetent or cODspicuOusly unfalthful Ill

are the facts {? A respectable citizen directs
the attention of the Mayor to the fact that
q number of faro banks and kindred pest houses
are in full blast daily in various parts OF the
city. He points out the location of some of
them and " in the name of humanity and law
urges the Mayor to do something to help sup
press these places The Mayor refers this COM
murication to the Police Commissioners, and
they in turn hand it to superintendent Wall
ing The Superintendent in his reply says: " /
Lave issued warrants for every reputed gam

"police to enter such houses and arrest all per-
q sons found violating the law. In executing
these warrants it was necessary III many cases
TO break open the doors TO gain admission
e,Many of these places have been entered from
time to time by the police, but the doors arc so
"bolted and guarded that they could never sue

But If SUPPLEMENTARY really superintendent

he is thus thorough and the fault is with his

they are not suppressed. What, then, shall we

A NURDEROUS la ~.

This ia going to he an uncomfortable year
for the aged and decrept citizens of the State OF
Maine. They are liable to the daily peril OF
being knocked in the head and removed sum
marily from the Joys and sUrrOws of this world.
At the last session of the Legislature au elabo-
rate law was passed entitled AN act for the
prevention Of cruelty" BY some mysterious
evolution of the mighty legislative intellect
this law, which was Ostensibly designed to pre-
vent cruelty, is really one of the most ingenious
and diabocal schemes for murder ever con-
cocted IL has twenty sections but the glst OF
1T is contained in two In one of these 1t Is
enacted that any agent or oilcer OF any society
{" for the prevention OF cruelty to ANIMALS may
stake possession OF any old, MANNED, disabled
diseased, or injured horse or other animal
not properly cared for, may have the same val
ued by two reputable persons called by him to
view such horse or animal, whereupOn he may
destroy or cause to be destroyed such horse or
sanimal.r In the other section are found these
comprehensive words: In this act the word
animal shall be held to include eCe,y living
"crcdture."
The possibilities of the law are awful to con-
template. Suppose for moment that some
venerable old gentleman with hand
some estare should persist i'll lingering 50
long here that his heirs get impatient. They
can have him viewed" and removed in n
twinkling, and the law will justify their conduct
as an act of humanity. In some heather
nations the old men, when they are no longer of
any use in the world, are led away into some
forsaken spot and left to die of starvation. The
Maine method is slight improvement upon this
plan. Still, we doubt if it will be a popular
law. The aged and decrepit are pretty certain
not to like it.
Upon connubal scrimmages the act may have
n good effect. One of the provisions Is that il
any living creature is found when "viewed to
be diseased or injured past recovery for any
useful purpose" he shall be destroyed forth
with A fighting husband and wife with that
nroyision before them would be apt to restrain
their pugilistic tendencies before they carried
them so far as the Flynn family of Texas, ac-
cording TO the veraciOus SutingS, are reported
to have DONE Mrs. Flynn was met at the door
of her house, after the sounds OF tumult had
died away, with black eye, a bruised nose,
but triumphant smile When the visitor said
q You seem to have been having lively time,
Mrs.. Flynn. You are all broken up" "DOn't
talk - said Mrs. Flynn proudly. "LOrd love
We. don't talk till we see Flynn The chances are
that if Flynn had been viewed at that moment
he would have been condemned as injured past
recovery for any useful purpose" We are not
sure but that if the head of the gifted author of
the Maine bill were TO be viewed" at any time
n similar verdict would be rendered.
