The managers of the " law and or
der league" have dcparted from the
plan laid down by D)r. Crosby. and
are making raids on the fashionahh
drinbing places. Last week all the
big hotels and restaurants were as
saulted, and their proprietors re
quired to answer. It was an aston
isher in these people. The gr eat ho
tels had favored the movement upon
the rum muil's, but the idea that their
places would ever be interfered with
'ever entered their heads. Therefore
when officers entered and shut them
up, and when they were called upon to
answer, their indignation was-beyond
telling. It doesn't make any differ
ence, however, with them. Guests
simply order drinks to their rooms,
anid there is r room in which liquor
can be had, served by an irresponsi
ble party, and without mnakiug the
hotel liable. The little doggery can
not do this, for it never has but one
room, and its trade mast necessarily
be open and without cover. Dr.
Crosby was right. Cif course it isn't
logical to 'iuelch Tim Rafferty and
let the Fifth Avenue go on, but it
happens to be the case that Tim Raf
ferty can be squelched, while no law
that can be made can prevent the
Fifth Avenue from selling liqnor.
