FIGHT COURTS IN GOTHAM.

New York, Aug. Justice dispens.
ed at all hours of the day or night"
might we'll be the sign over the JEFF
ferson Market police court, where an
"owl court" will be held for the first
time in New York tonight, beginning
at 8 and lasting to in the morning.
While the plan is more or less expert
mental, 1t Is likely that the night ses-
sions will become permanent feature
of the city.
1t is primarily for the purpose of
doing away with what is known as the
police station house bond graft that
the night court has been established.
II is also designed to provide for the
immediate arraignment of women who
may be arrested at night and to obtain
I hearing for them without being lock-
ed mp all night. In the past numerous
respectable women have been arrested
and incarcerated in cells because of
the unfounded suspicious of policemen.
and the night court will tend to pre-
vent such outrages.

the high price of hops in 1881 there
was craze over this crop which led
many land investments that resulted
disastrously. Purchasers were ruined
by change in the hop market, were
unable to keep up interest on mort
cages and We're obliged to step out
with TIE loss of all their capital. That
WIS peculiar phase of the case,
but 1t appears also that rural New
York. ike the agricultural districts
o. other states, is suffering from the
drift to the cities of which so much
has been written. We have, too, the
York City that the adventurer Is more
apt to achieve n position in the bread
line than some highly lucrative en-
| ployment. Even the newly landed
foreigners do better in New York than
| the natives fresh from the soil.
| 1t Is suggested that an Improvement
in the rural schools might have some
effect in stemming the tide toward

If any better than they were forty
years ago" Much stress is laid also
on the need of scientific education for
farmers to fit them properly for theii
work. And as a solution of the trou
bIesome labor problem 1t is proposed
that colonies of immigrants of the
same nationalities be established
throughout the state.
Such is a brief summary of matter
collected from various sources by the
New York Tribune. For the ives
there is the encouraging Information
that some of the New York farmers
who have left their old homes have
preferred to take their chances witt
western farms rather than with citl
jobs. and 1t is true that in the pionee
movements of the last twenty-five
years the New York farmers have beei
diana, Michigan and Illinois. But th
western farmers are in chronic stat
of desperation over the lack of farm
labor, and the farmers boys and girl
in the west, like those in the east, ar
drawn away by the illustory promise
of the city and a hope based on le
norance. Possibly. something nigh

There are some who believe that
the acquittal of Haywood means ar
btrary rulings and policies by the Off
GERS of the Western Federation. The
Herald is not one that accepts this
theory. We are of the belief that the
experience of the past few years. more
especially of the past eighteen months,
will prove beneficial in many ways,
and that greater care will be exercised
10 all matters coming up between EN-
ployers and employees. The Herald be
lieves Haywood and Meyer responsi-
BILE for much of the labor strife in
Colorado, and both must realize that
public sentiment is against the policy
pursued by them. These men now
have II in their power to build up a
strong and prosperous organization by
pursuing decent methods. Labor is
entitled to good wages and sane treat
ment at the hands of employers,
whether individuals or corporations.
Wealth is largely created by labor,
hence the two should dove-tail.

NEW TOBACCO REVENUE LAW.

Washington, Aug. 1.-Revised regu-

growers, with the distinct proviso tffat
the original warehouse books shall
contain the name of every farmer. the
number of pounds purchased from
him and the date of purchase. 1t Is
also provided that these books are to
be kept available for inspection at any
time by proper internal revenue off
cials. 1t is also required, when to
hacco is removed from the warehouse
for shipment, that the purchasing ieal
er shall enter on his books the name.
ard addresses of the parties to whom
the shipment is made and the distric
to which tobacco is sent.
