REFORM IN GOTHAM.
Rev. DIR. Parkbursrs Crusade Bearing
Fruit-Grand-Jury Presentments.
rp- ,o,ocranh IN the DisDntchl


NEW York. April The grand jury,
which has been sitting during the March
term and investigating evidence presented
by the Rev. DR.. Parkhurst and his agents
as to the existence of gambling and disor.
derlv houses. as well as general violation
of the excise law without interference by
the police. brought in a presentment al
3 o'clock this afternoon In Part oil Ten
eral Sessions before Recorder Smythe.
1t says that owing. to the pubhc
charges against the efficiency OF the ponce
department in suppressing and arresting
law breakers, the grand jury has spent
considerable time IN investigating such
matters. liz isapparentt 10 all that gambling
houses. disorderly houses. and saloons are
omen in violation Of the law, and that the
police are fully aware of their existence.
Yet these places are allowed to exist IN
open violation OF the law. lhe only raids
made upon them are made by citizens
The police rules provide that the captain
of. each precinct shall SEND To po-
lice Headquarters a list OF the gam
bling and disorderly houses in their re-
spectlye precincts. Such reports are
made. and although the law gives power
TO the SUPERINTENDENT TO issue his own
warrant and have his officers break into
such places without going TO court, such
proceedings are not taken. In fact, there
Is no appearance of police interference
with gambling houses, disorderly houses.
or saloon-keepers who violate the excise
law.
From such facts the grand jury say that
the best reasons for condemning the in
activity OF the police are presented. They
are either incompetent to do what citizens.
have done or they are open 10 charges OF
corruption. The general efficiency OF the
police and their ability to cope with crime
is second to that OF no other city, ana
therefore the grand jury has no alternative
but TO ADOPT the theory of corruption as
the reason for their inactivity in the mat
ters mentioned.
A second presentment was made. IN
which the grand jury protest against the
passage Of what is known as the Spies
bill now before the Legislature; recon-
mend that the police adopt rule by
which a prisoner, when arrested, may at
once communicate with his family
or friends. and call attention 20
the publication of advertisements I'M
der the head of Personals in a
certain morning newspaper. The grand
Jury also recommend that the own
ers be held responsible for the business
carried on in their buildings If it be I'M
moral or illegal. and charge that the clerk
of the Tombs Court is in some measure re-
sponsible for the information given to
"Dink" Davis that warrant was out Tor
a raid in his place.
Recorder Smythe said that he would
call the attention of the proper authorl-
ties to the presentments without delay.

The Charleston News and Courier Replies
to the Atlanta Constitution.
lBy telegraph 10 the Dspatch.l

CHARLESTON, s. c., April 1.-Apropos OF
the Atlanta Constitution article telegraphed
all over the country last night, the Neles
and Courier SAYS editOrially to-day: " The
recent votes on the Bland bill have demon
strated tho fact that this country is not ready TO
engage in the reckless experiment Of free, IN
limited, and independent cOinsge OF silver. Ihe
representatives Of the South az Washington VIII
have only themselves and their weak and mis-
chiovous advisers to blame II, after tho protests
which are ringing In their ears from every
doubtful state in the North and West, they shali
give their support 20 a measure which, besides
Dlunging the country into financial panic VIII
re-establish the rule Of the basonet az every
southern ballot-bOx. We cannot understand
why the Associated Press should permit itself 70
be employed as channel for circulating the
views OF the Atlonta Constitution upon she silver
question; but Democrats In Congress and Demo-
Gratis throughout the country have right TO be
informed that the Constitution does not speak Tor
the Democratic party IN Georgia OF In the other
southern States upon this question. or upon
any other question In which the principles OF the
party are involved. Our Atlanta contemporary
no more represented the sentiments OF the Demo
Gratis Of Georgia on the issue OF thrin reform IN
1854, when its counsel and Leadership were over
whelmingly repudiated by the Democratic state
Convention OF Georgia. The southern repre-
sentatiYes nj Washington should not be moved by
The cheap demagOgy OF the COHshruti0n'S assault
upon the 'Wall-street contingent 10 Is worth
remembering that our contemporary exhausted
all Of It's power in the election Of United States
senator from Georgia last year In behalf OF a
Nall-street Spectator. and that IL was defeated
in its purpose by Legislature composed almost
entirely OF Georgia farmers.
