THE POLICE QUESTION IN NEW YORK.

The effort Of the republican Legislature of the
State TO crush out the democracy in the city of New
York is turning out to be failure. New York and
Brooklyn had each its police arrangements, with
mayor at the head The first step by the Legislature
was 10 substantially strip the mayors elected by the
people of their powers. The next was TO vest il in
newly-created board TO consist of the two mayors,
three commissioners for the city OF New York and
one from the county of Kings, and the other from
either Westchester or Richmond county, to be APP
pointed by the governor and senate, 1t was eS-
pected these five executive appontees could con
troll the two mayors elected by the people Of
New York and Brooklyn. The act provided in
case of vacancy in the board, that the remain
ing members might I'll it. Ii was not doubted
that the commissioners selected by the governor
would have full control of the board. The police
appointed under the old law by Mayor Wood were
promptly discharged. In the effort to supply their
places some difficulties among the commission
ers, and thereupon Mr.. Draper republican, resign
ed in disgust reducing the board 10 six members.
