A SHOT AT THE METROPOLITAN We
have received the following communica-
ton in regard to the present police sys-
tenn:
EDITORS PUsLIC LEDGER: Some time
ago my store was rifed of all | possessed,
and last night the same was tried over
again. This shows plainly how corrupt
the present police force are instructed.
The patrolmen are willing to perform
their duty, and are doing it as far as it
lays in their power, but the right given
to them by their superior officers is very
unsatisfactory. This is not only one in
stance in which the corruptnesS of the
Police Commissioners laws have been
shown, and as it is useless to say any
more of them to the public, because it is
known well enough they are negleciing
their duty. If q saloon-keeper is caught
selling a glass of whiskey or beer on
Sundays, he is arrested and fined, but
negroes keeping bawdy-houses are pre-
tected. If this is right and in accord
ance with the statutes Of the police force,
it would be better to have none at all,
and let every citizen protect himself and
property. Ny question to the Police
Commissioners, whether it would not be
more profitable and of interests to citi-
zens, better to arrest and punish thief,
or to fine a saloon.keeper, who pays his
license regularly, for a small offense, is
published for the consideration of those
concerned. JOHN SCHMIDT
