THE LEADER LEADS
rnarea.e the PeIice Foree.

We yesterday argued briefly IN taVor
O fincreasing the police force ofthe city to
sixty men. There are q few considera-
lions in favor of the increase which have
not vet been brought before the minds of
our readers, which we desire briefly to
present.
Under the present system of patrolling
the city, the patrolmsn go in pairs. The
total number of the police force being
limited TO forty-fOur, and the day police
numbering ten, and three police
men being kept on duty at the station,
the number Of patrolmsn for night duty is
reduced to about thirty, and, as they go
in pairs, the number Of "beats" is only
fheen. Now every citizen knows that
when this large city, from Wilson Ave
nue. on the East to the furthest extent of
Detroit and Lorain streets on the West
Is divided into fifteen districts, and a pair
Of policemen detailed TO patrol each dis
trict, arm in arm, the amount Of protection
thus afforded to property Is entirely in ad
eauate. We have hteen patrols and
eleven wards in the city-hardly more
than one patrol to a ward. Under these
circumstances robbery, burglaryor murder
may transpire in any part Of the city, and
on our most frequented thoroughfares
and no policeman be within sight
or hearing. The Board Of Police
Commissioners propose to break up this
old system. They desire to increase the
number of patrol districts and thus double
the efficiency of night police. Each po-
Iiceman will hereafter have q "beat' by
himself, which he will patrol alone. But,
In srder to make this successful, these
beats should be 80 arranged that every
patrolman is within call of another. In
this way, II a policeman is in need of as
s~istance, he can, by rapping with his club,
bring one or two or more officers to his
aid in o very few moments time.
But In order TO put the pa
trolmen thus in communication
with one another throughout the whole
city, It will be necessary to increase the
number of the police force. By max
ing the number Of policemen sixty
instead of fOrty-four, the number
Of night police will be increased
from thirty to forty-six, and the
number Of patrol districts from fifteen to
forty-six. In other words, the proposed
increase, besides doing away with the
necessity of maintaining private watch
men on our most crowded business streets,
will treble the efficiency Of the police
force
II this increase is to be made at al,
there should be no delay in making it. Ii
should 30 put in operation at the time the
new system is commemorative first of
May. 1t Is obvious that an increase of
the force, and a rodistricting of patrols
may be made much more conveniently
and effectively at that time than at any
subsequent period. We hope, therefore,
that the Council may, at its next meeting,
take immediate action on this subject.

The Lntest DOdge-The boy in a ROxn
Confidence Game.

= ~ ~ AlOA
Confidence Game.
From the Springfield Republican,
The very latest description of swindlt
and confidence game came to our knowl.
edge yesterday, having been introduced
for the first time, SO far as we are aware
in this city. A young man of our ae.
buaintaince was passing along Main
street a few evenings since, at about ten
o'clock when he observed a person sitting
on a dry goods box on the sidewalk. ap-
parently a mere louuger with no particu-
lar object in view. As our informant
came near, however, this individual
seemed to be suddenly attracted by some
strange indica ions which proceeded from
the box on which be was sitting. He
rose as our friend reached the spot, re-
marking, 81 shouldn't wonder If there
was somebody in this box" and immed-
lately proceeded to turn the box over, it
being open on the side toward the build
ing-when lol out rollad a small
boy. The seemingly astonished dis
coverer Of the boy asked him, as
was natural, what he was doing there.
The boy answered, in the most innocent
and appealing manner, that he was going
~ s4CCP IL thai UD4- 4ue stranger seemed
quite touched by his situation, and re-
marked TO our informant, who stood look
ing on, "It's a pretty hard case for the
boy if 1 had any money l would give
him at least enough 70 buy a lodging for
the night" What a less thoroughly
posted nan than our friend might have
done we cannot say, but he simply replied
that his notion would be to send the boz
to jail forthwith. He then went on. but
kept the place under occasional observa-
ton during the evening. He saw this
artifce tried on a large numbsr of per-
sons, and thinks that several of them gave
money to the boy. He regarded the
sell as almost too clever and elaborate
deserve an instant exposure, it being
evident that the benevolent but hard-up
lounger and the "boy in the box" were in
partnership and shared the profits with
each other, of this decidedly novel and
ingenious operation.
