NEW YORK, March 19.-Whatever
may be the other results OF the present
crusade against vice and gambling,
Cd ere can be no doubt OF its political
effect. The Mazet Investigation, the
Ramspo deal, the ~wrecking OF the
Third Avenue railroad, the attacks
made by Comptroller Coler on the
treasury under the forms OF law, and
now the revelations of a return to the
old order of police-protected vice and
gambling, nave served to arouse pub
lie Indignation to UGH an extent that
there Is likely to be an expression OF
opinion at the polls next November
from which tho democratic party will
suffer. In the meantime, a messenger
has been sent to Mr.. Croker for advice.
IF he had been home, it is declared,
this disturbance would not have taken
place.
Chief Devery's plan to divert attens
ton from the dives by stopping the
music at the Waldorf, Sherry's. and the
high class hotels and restaurants, has
proved q boomerang. Its only effect
Is t. increase the popular feeling
against the police management. The
police board itself has taken promptac
ton to revoke his order. and directed
the chief to suspend action against the
respectable hotels and restaurants. |
Moreover, the magistrates discharged
all the restaurant managers arrested
by the police, AID said that the ar
rests were unwarranted and outrage
Gus. One result of the crusade will
probably be the retirement of Chief
Devery. l. is difficult to see how he
can hold on much longer, even with the
favor of Croker. About thirty indict- |
ments have been found by the grand |
jury.
Henry CIews has made the suggest
ton that the new 2 per cent govern
ment bonds should be christened "U. |
s. consols," especially as they make
English co1sols, which bear 28 per
cent interest and are selling at 1908,
whereas the ~. S. consols," 2 per
cents, are selling at 1o7, and are in
considerable demand at that price.
There can be no better barometer of
tae high credit of this nation than this
showing. NO nation" he says, ''has
ever before been able to feat a 2 per
bond at 100. This is certainly a
proud achievement for this country"
