Murder! Foul Murder The Remedy

Mr. EDITOR, Whatever difference of opinion
may exist between yourself and some of your
readers in regard to other subjects, and however
strongly it may be the policy of portion Of the
City Press to keep hidden from the people
abroad the dark crimes which have been from
time to time committed in this city, even their
disposition to plaster it over-a whited sepulcbre
the opinion entertained and expressed is in un-
equivocal appreciation of the articles which have
appeared in The TINES of late in reference to this
subject. Public attention should be directed con-
stanty to this point. The memory of the dark
and fendish murder perpetrated few nights ago
should not die away from the public mind. What
need have we Of an organized police, if no great.
security is ensured to our citizens in this way?
Murder under any circumstances is bad
enough, but that it should be committed coolly,
deliberately and with generalization, here in st.
Paul. in one of the most frequented streets of the
town. almost in broad daylight, is evidence enough
that there is something rotten in the police sys-
tenn of itself. But that the bloody scoundrel
should 60 unpuunished, that he should walk these
streets free as air, meditating another outrage
what shall we think or say Of all this, here, in
city with population of 10000 inhabitants!
Who to blame? How many police officers
have we here in this fast place of stem thousand
souls?' Five or six? "Ofering rewards" sim
ply, won't do, Mr.. Mayor and Mr.. Sherif-we
want you Mr.. Sheriff, and we want energetic po-
lice officers to aid you in ferreting out these
things and bringing murderers-aye, murderers
to punishment-we want men of efficiency, who
will preserve unsulied the great mass of our in
dustrious, intelligent and generous hearted citi-
zens forever, and we will have them. These
are the sentiments not only of the writer, who
takes this method of of informing the public that
he carries "Colt's best'' constantly about him :,
but of many others equally as determined.
Crvrs.
CT We think s'Civis' somewhat severe on
our police officers, although several of them are
better than none at all. 1t is the duty of the
citizens to that the officers do their duty, and
if they do not, let them be removed. Without an
effort on the part of the people, it is useless to
attempt to bring about reform; with their eff
forts almost anything can be accomplished.-E

The New York Picayune thus hits of the
habit some people have of attrbuting all the
evils in the land to the influence OF Horace
Greeley:
According to many of our contemporaries.
Horace Greeley has been at the bottom OF
nearly every crime of consequence or interest
that has been perpetrated, or perncious doc
trine that has been exposed for the last three or
four years. Naturally alarmed at such de-
pravity on the part of one of our principal edi-
tors, we have made dillgent inquiry as to what
the Philosopher will be up to in the future
and have ascertained that he is at present
Plotting the death OF the President:
Making arrangements for the massacre of
the Cabinet.
Trying to introduce the Yellow Fever into
the city.
Buying couple of powder mills on the
Brandywine Creek, to be blown up for his own
amusement.
Filing thin places in the boiler of North riv-
err steamboats,, and hiring the captains to race
their beats.
Culling the peanua plarket.
Endeavoring to increase the price of flour
to SIS barrel.
Buying up with Scion Robinson's assistance.
all the beef cattle IN market in order to raise
the price OF steak to 81 per pound.
And going out nights poisoning iavorite dogs,
and slonng pet cats of old understanding in
the face of peope-nsuIting unprotected le-
males--throwing vitro on peoples clothes.
besides performing a variety of other petty
misdemeanors in bis leisure moments, such as
running pins through aies-pinching infants
in cradles pulling door bells and running
away. merely to occupy him in the absence
| of opportunity for greater mischief.
THE GREAT CARPET HALL, CHIcAco.-A-
mongst the very many places worthy attention
in the Garden City, that of Messrs. Beecher,
Holister s. Wilkins occupies no mean place.
This house has been for many years the lead
ing one in this line in the North West. and
having this tell made large additions both to
| their hall and stock Of goods, we have no hes-
tation in saying that they rival any Of the larg.
est concerns in New York.
Their business is such as to require the
constant presence of one of their firm in the
east, They have also an establishment in
Detroit. Mich, which although not equal to
the mammoth Carpet Hall Of Chicago is still
fully equal to the demand in that section. For
description of their stock, TO which we confess
ourselves inadequate, read their advertisement.
Purchasers ordering by letter may depend on
being astairly treated as if personally present.
This is assured by the enviable reputation they
have acquired as upright and honorable bust
ness men.
