Is IT A CRANK EPIDEMIC ;

1t Is to be hoped that we are not to
have an epidemic of cranks in New
York. But the two experiences of Yes

Mayor Harrison has given these danger
Gus people a disposition to indulge in
their eccentricities,
The affair at the Postal Telegraph
Building, at the corner of broadway
and Murray street, will probably end in
the death of one man, the superintendent
of the construction. The shooting was
deliberate. and the assassin. after firing
the shot. showed his desperate and
dangerous character 10y barriCading
himself behind the big timbers and maxi
ing a desperate fight against a dozen or
more policemen.
The visit of n m"ild-manncred crank
TO the Gould offices in search q. George
Gould, and his interview with Edwin
Gould after Il policeman had beer. sent
for and was present, was not attended
by such murderous features. But the
man, who made a modest request for
five thousand dollars, which he pro-
fessed to have lest in stock speCuiat!uns,
might have meant mischief, and Mr..
Gould did perfectly right in putting hin.
under restraint.
These experiences teach us the folly
OF letting these halfway lunatics, of
