THE EVENING NEWS.


4 Coop PoLIcENAx.-we have no rea-
SON 10 say anything TO the discredit of
any one of Chief Edwards force OF po-
lice. in Virginia city, but we cannot re-
frain from, testifyiug to the excellence,
as an officer, of Capt. George Downey.
We do not believe in the practice OF
,r,isinr policemen or fremen, or public
officials generally, because they do
their duty. They are paid for their
saryices: and "well done" is praise
enough and usually anything more is
IN flatter. But when an officer has to
peculiar difficulties, has to
deal with Il queer set Of people, and yet
manages TO "do his duty" acceptsbly
TO all c~oncerued-as is the case with
George Downey-it is fit and proper TO
mention the fact. Capt. George Dow
new is q policeman whose absence from
the Virginia police force would cousti-
,ute a great loss to the people Of that
Comstock community. Long may he
wear the Captains star-until promoted.
