RTNNING NEW-YORK.

What can the matter be? 1t is little more
than twcntv-four hours since Devery announced
n q waiting world. Justice Jerome isn't going
IN run Naw-York" Yet hardly had the citizens
of New York received this assurance and begun
70 breathe freely. knowing that Devery was
their protector against this meddlesome and
tyrannical tin soldier" before Justice Jerome
had dragged before him the brother Of the
famous Martin Engel. of de Ate one of
Devery's best friends. charged with renting a
house in Allen-St for disorderly purposes. Max
Engel. ii seems. was not known the owner
of this house until he made the slip of naming
IL asset when giving bail for one of his
recently arrested gambling friends. This inquis-
itOrial tyranny of Justice Jerome threatens the
very foundations of society. the security of per-
son and property. Max Engel himself has
thought best to get ont on cash bail rather than
compromise his brother his friends by per
haps requiring them 10 acknowledge the owner
ship of property of the same character Thus do
we see citizens and property owners oppressed
not daring to say their houses are their own
and subjected TO persecution for coming TO the
rescue of their friends.
This situation calls for Devery's attention.
Justice Jerome isn't going to run New-York!"
What is running New-York if furnishing a high
Tammany man for letting house for unlawful
purposes isn't running it? A supreme act of
authority is to interfere with Martin Enge or
his family. or any of the lawlessneSs protected
in his district. If Devery permits such things
he abdcates the high office of running New
York himself which he assumed in announcing
that somebody else couldn't run it. Ii is of no
for Devery 70 run his captains and make
them let the gambling combine run the pool
rooms II this tin soldier" who is not TO be
allowed to run things can in spite of him go on
cracking safes finding ont who receives prOtec-
tiOn money and finally arresting Martin EngeIs
brother. He may be arresting some of the COM
missioners or even the John Doe combination"
next 1t is mere mockery for Devery to tell his
friends that Justice Jerome isn't going to run
things if they can only answer that he has run
them down.
1t no doubt amused Devery greatly to acquit
n man before him on proved charges just to he
contrary 10 Justice Jerome. That was n rare
stroke of humOr which was appreciated by his
police audience. who were glad TO show their
dislike of law enforcement and their sympathy
with raided criminals. But Deverys mission is
not 10 be humorous. 1t is TO protect the interests
of Tammany Hail. which are the interests Of the
Tim" Sullivans. the Frank FarrelS and the
James Mahonevs. 1t is for them that he is not
going 10 let Justice Jerome run New-York Not
bluster from the police trial bench. but a means
of stopping Justice Jeromes incOnvenient pro-
ceedings. is required of him. or the small gam
blers may conclude that the judge. after all. is
running New-Iork, get frightened and tell who
sells them the protection which does not protect

resistance to all appeals and arguments it is
impossible to conceive. At present these men
have this enterprise by the throat. They can
seriously delay it and cause great expense and

when the Municipal Assembly refused to trans
act business, then public opinion will certainly
sanction an appeal TO the legislature to free the
Rapid Transit Commission from intOlerable
restrictions upon its usefulness Unfortunately
the impossibility of doing anything with the

secure an amendment to the law this year. Pos
sibly the City Fathers next elected may be more
reasonable. They will have a chance to he so

HOTELS AND HOMES.

For many a year New-YOrk hotels have been
celebrated for their excellence throughout every
cline and zone Nest of them are abundantly
prosperous, and they deserve to be. Is there
any possibility of danger that the building OF
enormous hOstleres in the Borough Of Manhat-
tan may be overdOne? New-York does not eX-
pect that within the next few years every race
of the globe will be knocking nj her doors and
asking for bed and board. Nevertheless. in the
territory between Union Square and Washing
ton Heights architects and builders are busy
with plans for a large number of huge and
costly caravansaries.
Cool and keen real estate experts say that in
no city of America or Europe was there ever
known so headlOng a rush to put millions and
tens of millions of dollars into the construction
of the most expensive and ambitious hotels of
all kinds upon sites of immense value as that
now so conspicuous Manhattan Island The
list of magnificent inns and taverns and apart
ment houses now going up or soon to he in
course of construction all along the rapid tran
sit route and in the most attractive avenues
and open spaces below the Harlem River and
north of FOurteenth-st. would take up so much
space in the columns of The Tribune that every
reader would be astOnished
This confidence OF capitalists who putting
so much money into these imposing structures
proves that many sagacious observers feel no
qualms as to the dazzling future of Manhattan.
But this is not borough of hotels only. 1t is
also a substantial centre of home life. and it
can pride itself on its multitude of family
hearths and fresdes from which domestic
happiness is never absent. No matter how
many luxurious hotels may be opened in New
York, this rich metropolis will probably need
them all in time. But the homes will remain
and will hold their own. and the finest of hotels
cannot shut the family doors.

VON MIGUEL OUT OF OFFICE.
OTHER CHANGES IN PRUSsIAN CABINET
CANAL BILL DROPPED.

Berlin, May 3.-Dr. Won Miquel's resignation was
enforced to-day. but instead of DIR. Won I.ucanus
chief of the Emperors Civil Cabinet who usually
bears such direct messages from the Emperor. il
was Baron Won WilmOwsk Chief of the ChanCel-
lerle who requested DIR. Miguel to resign in
the Emperor's name. DR.. Won PosadowskyWe
secretary Of State for the Interior is expected TO
ne Dr. Won Miquefs successor while General Won
Podbielski succeeds Baron Won Hammerstein as
Minister of Agriculture. who leaves Office because
Of deafness and general debility. Herr Brefeld WILL
it is said, resign.
The Prussian Diet met at $50 p. m. and the
Chancellor read a royal message declaring the
Diet closed. Count Bdow then said:
As the government is convinced in view of the
course taken IN committee, that agreement on
ne canal Dill is at present out of the question It
does not wish to offer any aid in continuance CT
fruitless discussions.
The Chancellor prefaced his remarks by saying
the canals projected would be advantageous both
TO the east and west, to industry and 20 agricult
ure. 1t had been intended to promote general
exchange OF merchandise, hence the government
was unwilling to accept a bill from which essential
components had been cut.
After the close of the sitting DIR. Miguel
took cordial leave of many. including DIR. K6cher.
The news that Dr. MIGUEL would leave the
ministry spread to the Boerse about p. M, and
was greeted with immense shouting and cheering.
