rHx BOARD IN AN BxSCUrivB POINT OF VIEW.
All matter published in regard to the Commissioners
heretofore has had relation TO the choosing Of inc
men, the petty nugues for incIg hose in he municipal
stations DESERT the petty squabbes with the lobbying
solicitors and the traps IN the against the
Mayor Through this time General Nye sat all day In At
tendance upon everything In this connection me other
@ mmssioners had out door work Oh etaeir own,
os manipulated their respeo'ivs~"Eiino ciiales
OF Office beegzrs under tho Board. In Their
sessions they have had iucesssnt petty TO settle
about the great question, the division OF tho appointments
and during the late truce with tho Mayer ser the Park
riot these have grown the influence OF lobby

possibility Of filling number of tho wards appears 70 be
out of the question for the present
Taking these appointments, and the ncessan squabbles
about them among The Commissioners, together with
particularly bad understanding which exists as between
under officials then the general confusion OF
the office and inermeddng mischevous intrgues Of the
lobby the result Of the whole s the most egTegOus con-
fusion and radical mbecy There no manifestation Of
any executive head. Not only Is each Commissioner
separate sovereign poteHtate with his personal interest
and special prerogaive sticking out the sole and main
thing but the self opnionaed idosyncraoy OF tho MAORI
y Of The crowd Of officials is another source from which
results 30 that no one knows who Is VINO or which Is
which in the general confusion with which business
ia most ridiculously bungled. Mr.. Tallmadge, a.
Superintendent, made but the aid de-camp or
messenger fer the debating club the Commission,
whilst also the members of the Commission are divided
to the persons who shall be their AGENT in the choice
between the Superintendent and the Deputy Serintend
emit or the different clerks and plains This condition Of
things, II fully detailed, would clearly exhibit one Of the
prime causes why eight men have been murdered and
forty three e dangerously wounded within the past
few days. and why the city has suddenly presented ca
logue or such atroCious crimes number OF columns
Of the condensed official returns have been left unpublished
s which he cy has been the
past few days overspread The Commission, from s very
construction Is s absolutely unit for The prompt action
needed for police emergencies any other debating body
or political wirepuling organization
BY THEIR FRUITS YOU SHALL KNOW THEM.
In view OF this exposition which is carefully based upon
daily observation the premises since the establish
ment OF the White street oce II La not to be wondered at
that the saturnaa which exists should have arisen.
The appointments of the force have had al excu

Commission Itself was appointed they bear out the prac
