LANCASTER DAILY INTELLIGENCER WEDNESDAY, JULY 20, 1881 Hancaster intelligencer. WEDNESDAY EVENING. JUfcY 20, 1881. The Xew Yerk Maa-Trap. The summary power possessed by New Yerk police justices ever the liberty of the citizen has always aroused in us a geed deal of astonishment and even ap prehension ; for sad fortune might be tray any citizen of the land in to the clutches of these men, es pecially at this season when transit through Xew Yerk becomes a ne cessity te these seeking the cool sea air along Xew England's rock-bound coast, or the cold breezes of her moun tains and lakes. The Xew Yerk police mat! is rather an object of dread than of comfort te the stranger within the city gates, because of his brutal reputation ; but his power lasts only for a day and he can de you no worse injury than te confine you for a night in a station cell. That is bad enough te besure ; but com pared with the extensive power of im prisonment possessed by the police jus tice, it is hardly worth complaining about. "We de net knew but that the justice may send you te jail forever ; at any rate he thinks nothing of a six menths1 commitment ; which is the measure of punishmejit one of them has just conferred upon an Englishman, by profession a singer, who came te this country a short while age in- search of employment, having failed in business in England as a piano-maker. Finding no employment in Xew Yerk, because'ef the season of the year, he ran out of money ; and se denned a costume in which he had sung in opera, being that of an old man, and let his voice lleat out en the evening air in Madisen Square in the song "Speed On My Hark.' His geed voice and execution made the entertain ment a success, and the singer was re warded with many nickels. Hut a po liceman pat a step l. t'ae show as con trary te the city regulations, which was, no deubl, properly done, though in this less enlightened section we de net think of stepping a street ringer, nor even a monkey and hand organ or htirdygurdy or any ether instru ment of torture ; we never have the geed luck te listen te an operatic singer. We de net blame the Xew Yerk police man ler following his instructions, nor for arresting the singer when he found that his silvery locks were false; but the ass of a justice who put a decent fellow te jail fersix months for a technical viola tion of law, when the peer Englishman was really making a creditable effort te get his bread, ought te be cremated. The lessen taught by this incident te all unfortunates who are in danger of running out of money is that they shall get out of New Yerk liefere their last cent is gene. Anywhere else they will Ikj able te escape jail any way, if they de nothing dishonest. Hut in Xew Yerk they run a great risk between the cruel laws, the savage po licemen, the stupid justices, and the costly lawyers. Justice is very ex pensive in New Yerk ; you can buy any kind of it that you want if you have money enough. If you are a stranger in the city you are in mere danger than even among the Apachps of Arizona. If you have money you stand an excel lent chance of leaving it, and your body beside. If you have none they detain j'eu, body anyway. It will be a blessed day when that Hudsen bridge is finished, and this infernal man-trap need no longer be entered by the traveler 'twixt Seuth and North. Delighted People. Mayer King is a constant delight te Philadelphia's, and te these outside the city, as well, who love te see an official wise and bold enough te de his duty. The latest undertaking of the mayor is the suppression of the Sunday liquor traf fic, which has been openly carried en, notwithstanding it is expressly forbid den by a law that is observed every where else in the state. Mayer King works with the same police force which Mayer Stokley had ; under him they found the suppression of the unlaw ful tratlic impossible. It was because he was a very low fellow, who consorted with these who violated a law with which he was as little in sympathy as they. He did net want the Sunday liquor tratlic stepped. 1 1 was openly con ducted in the park itself, which is the property of the city, and its saloons were crowded every Sunday by these who found no beauty in the park but as a geed place te get drunk in. Every Pennsylvania visitor in Philadelphia has been aston ished at the open violation of a state law which he is accustomed te see rigidly enforced at home, and which he feels should net be thus spat upon in the chief city of the state. If it is net a geed law it should be repealed ; but while it is en the statute book, city as well as country should be held te it. "We arc in full sympathy with Mayer King in his enforcement of the laws in the matter of fireworks, sheeting irons and whisky bottles; geed things in their places, but these places greatly limited. Tiikkk is nothing very remarkable nor significant about the preposition al leged te have been offered by an Ohie Republican that he will make six sepa rate bets -of $500 each, that the Demo cratic gubernatorial candidate will carry neither his own ward, hisewn township, bis own city, his own county, his own congressional district, nor the state. The better might easily lese his hist bet and win all the ethers, thus netting $2,500 profit. Mr. Bookwalter lives in a county and congressional district which are relatively about as strongly Republi can as Lancaster county. Fer aught we knew his ward, his tewnsbip and his city are of the same com plexion. If se it is net be ex pected that he will carry them' un less he sweeps the state by B)0,000 ma jority. And yet men have been elected in Pennsylvania who did net carry the Fourth ward in this city, or Lancaster cjunty. Such talk as that of this OJiie better is very "cheap."' There must be something wrong about the administration of the U. S" training ship Constitution, new lying j Newport, I!. I., and en ether vessels of thewme sort. Beys de net generally voluntarily quit the kind of service sup posed te exist en these vessels. But net long age one en the Minnesota hanged himself; there have been numerous desertions from the Constitution, and sd desperate were the deserters as te take the chance3 of deatli and one of them was drowned in a desperate effort te elude his pursuers. The causes lead ing te these fatal results merit prompt and full investigation by the navy de partment. MINOR TOPICS.

In the view of the Bosten Advertiser the fervent and unaffected sympathy for the president, charged as it is with personal friendliness and tenderness, flowing from every Southern slate, and apparently from every home in the Seuth, into the hushed chambers of the White Heuse, has surprised the North and bound the sec tiens together with a new pledge of con cord. Tin: son of an ancient and philosophic man in Texas, became inspired with the Darwinian theory at his bearding school, and upon his return home in vacation in formed his parents that he believed all human beings were descended from apes, which made the old man se mad that he replied, angrily : "That may be the ease with you, but it ain't with me ; I can tell you that, new." Tins charming incident from real life at a recent picnic felicitously illustrates hew differently even the eyes of love view the same object : "Who is the pretty girl with blonde hair and deep blue eyes, there in the jaunty blue hat?" asked Alfred. "Who?" replied Annie, "that taffy-haired girl with the tallow eyes and that night mare of blue rags en her head? I never saw her before; nobody we want te knew." UNDOWERED. Theu hast net geld ?

The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin, which did all it could te prevent his elec tion, points te Mayer King's administra tion as an example of hew " easy it is te make popularity by being en the right side of the best public sentiment. " Mayer King was elected under specially enabling circumstances te de this. He seems te be carrying out the letter and spirit of his pledges, and te be justifying all the ex pectations of the real friends of municipal reform who forced his nomination by the Democrats and made his calling and elec tion sure. His popular exercise of his office proves tee that the tenure of his re tention is in his own control ; se long as he continues as he has beguu no power or patty can defeat his re-election. The Germautewn Telegraph quotes a medical expert en " contagious insanity " and gives the Crusades craze as an instance of the contagious influences of human impulses.

Anether singular instance of the insanity of soldier.; en the battlefields was reported by the government inspectors te be of common occurrence in all the great battles of the civil war, which was the finding of muskets after the battle crammed full of cartridges without ever having been fired at till.
