The Democratic papers have INDUCED
IA considerable eritelsm because Wee
President Moftion duFing the stirring
times tbs week has not showa great
familiarity with the rules of tns Senate
or parliamentary Law. zad they have
referred % him n eontsmptuosss tsfms
and as II ns Was next door 10 an IDIOT.
Is is not ~ all surprising that Mr.. Nor
ton . not - well informed on the sub
lscE as some OF the men who for the
past i've and twenty years have been IN
congress snd VINO have been forced 20
MAKE parliamentary law q special
study. 1tlsa very difficult and lntri-
cate subject. much OF the law being
really unwritten and based on pre-
eedents. As matter OF fact Mr.. Nor
ton has presided over the deliberations
OF the senate WITH a great deal OF
ability aud has shown ready aptitude
tor sraspins knotty questions.
An extra session, III the opinion OF
some OF the most conservative members
or the house, is not at all improbable
and the events Of the next lew days
will settle the matter one way or the
other. Inless more rapid progress is
made with the appropriation bills an
extra session IS inevitable.

Citizens who want to retain their liberty had
better keep away from lamp posts on which
there arc United States mail boxes. between
the hours OF midnight and 4:S0 A. N. A Ren-
eral order has been issued BY the police at tho
request Of the Post On1ce authorities to arrest
any person seen tampering with or acting In .
suspicious way about mail boxes IN those
hours. and the police will consider that man
acts suspiciously II he stops and embraces q
post or II he leans his elbow on q boz. ,.-.
Tho reason for the order is that recently
three offthe boxes have been robbed and many
more have been tampered with. the thieves in
the latter cases having probably been fright
ened of. One Of the boxes that was robbed
was at Fourteenth street and the North River.
and mother was iu tho Bowery, and the third
was In Grand street. Some Of the boxes that
were tampered with were in Sixth avenue, be.
tween Fourteenth and Thirtieth streets and
some were In site streets.
The robberies were probably effected by
means OF false keys. as mono OF the boxes was
broken. 1t is thought that thS fobbor may
