OvercharEeng is one that is never d.
yulged. 1t is because the prostitute
is held in general contempt BY the
court that the weasel is at liberty to
rob her. He reflects the attitude Of
his superioTs. Shyster lawyers, wea-
sells. and the whole ganut Of court
vermin crawl upon her, draining
money. She is an outcast Of society,
consequel tly this is considered quite
legitimate.
DECESS Is over. The groups break
N up and flip their cigar stubs into
the gutter They go inside the court,
placing themselves in strategic sec
lions.
The afternoon session Is not prof
liable for them. The nature Of the
cases exclude the need for corrup-
ton. What can these men do for
poor vendors. Nothing. There's no
money in it, So the court proceeds
normally" Besides, il is a few weeks
before eleetion-the spirit Of Tam
many peyades every institution they
control These are holy Gays, when
the smiline. handwriting, backslsp-
ping spirit fills the courts. They are
brothsrly- weeks, n which mi
nor cases are treated leniertly 70
show the humanity OF Tammany
judges. The court becomes a kind Of
theater where mock trials are held.
The Judge cracks jokes, the crowd
laughs, 1t is a period Of vote-catch-
ing.
The cases are handled as randy
as q deIlcstessen knife slicing ba-
Ioney. Emphasis is always on
speed. When there is hitch in
in the swift procedure the Judge
grows angry. But, as if pricked by
an election warning. he transforms
his anger into a wisecraek. He
IS clever, a good actor. Waves Of
laughter lap against his thirsty ego.
One after the other, old women
come before the judge. They are
charged with selling articles in sub
way entrances. One woman carries
a basket OF pretzels. A more hui
name society would place her In a
Ssnitariml. She is feeble, barely able
to hold the basket. She can speak
only Italian. But she does not speak.
She is paralyzed by grief and shame.
It is hard for the judge to be flip
pant, funny now.
That's private property" the
Judge tells her. You've got to stay
away from there. The next time YOU
are caught I'll fine you"
Then come young boys, picked up
for vagraney. One boy 1ives in Co
lumbus Ohio He has no parents.
He came to New York looking for
work and hungered, got gaunt as a
pole.
DO you plead guilty to being out
Of a job?" tf1 judge asks,
yes"
"We1l, you have no record Of va
grancy. This is the first offense. II
1 let you go, what will you DO? You
have no home, no folks, no job.
What'll you do7"
The boy is glurn. He frankly does
not know. He tells the Judge that.
well, I can't hold you" the Judge
concludes.
The boy walks up the aisle with
not the slightest feeling of freedom.
He is going out into fog, jungle,
henlmed in by police. No work. No
parents. No home. Hunger. A
judge can't joke about that. He mods
his head instead a momentary
gesture of fublity. And the next
victim is iostled into the room. /.
And with a feeling Of profound
disgust one leaves the Magistrates
Court. 1t is a court riddled with
Shiny political strings. II is a court
subject to election moods. A court
where dollars dominate Justice" A
court that can never solve the
mounting crimes Of corroding sys-
tenn.

.DUNS DECLARES SALES OUTLOOK
 BEST IN YEARS
Expected Slac ken ing in Trade After Easter Fails
 to Materialize

NEW YORK, April 6.-Business prospects for the second quarter of 1884 are generally conceded to be potentially capable of produc- ing the most satisfactory results of any second quarter for the past four years" the Dun-Bradstreet Review said today.
 The expected slackening in pace which retail buying set before Easter has not appeared, although sales in some apparel lines have receded from the big totals of the preceding week. Buying of fur niture and housewares has in- creased by a wide percentage.
 Because so much really need ed spring merchandise is yet to be acquired no interruption to the present trend appears in prospect for the current month. Besides any seasonal recession will prob ably be buoyed up by the increas- ing number profiting from pay raises recently granted by indus trial and commercial establish ments."
 Sales in various lines show every indication of outdistancing the spring figures for the past three years and provide conclusive proof of reawakened interest. the review said.

DOCTRINE OF REPUBLICANS
 IS OUTLINED
Publisher of Chicago Daily News Discusses Re-
 covery Program

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, April G. Col Frank Knox. Publisher of the Chicago Daily News, last night called upon Republicans to adopt a policy of recovery but not by revolution"
 The present Administration Col Knox said, abandoned it's princi- pies of democracy in favor of Gov ernmental precepts tried out 400 years ago and which were found wanting, namely, the Guild con- cepts of the Middle Ages.
 The Roosevelt program, Col Knox said, "also snacks of Fas- cism existing in Italy and Ger many and which is unquestion- ably the underlying concept of the Soviet Republic of Russia"
 The call on Republicans was made before the Columbia Clubs annual beefsteak dinner.
 the publisher declared that the Republican of the present time is one who firmly believes in recovery but not by revolution This is a very vital distinction because right at this moment actual recovery is being seriously retarded by those who frankly are more interested in revolution"
 Col. Knox charged the Admin istration had undertaken to re- store the ancient feudal system.
