APPOINTMENTS OF POLICEMEN.

The Board of Police Commissioners have
adopted wise rules in regard to appoint
ments. They declare that no man ought
to be appointed who is not at once intelli-
gent, able-bodied, moralSand able to read
and write with sufficient facility for the
purposes of police business. We can not
too highly commend the good sense of the
Board in this matter.
The proceedings Of criminal courts daily
show how important it is that the police
men should possess the qualifications above
set forth, and no good citizen will apply
for such position unless he is fully fitted
to discharge the duties. Hemust be man
whose integrity is above temptation, for
he may be sorely tempted. he must be able
bodied, to endure fatigue, to bear exposure,
to keep vigil, and to capture desperate
rogues. He must be intelligent, in order to
comprehend his duties and his liabilities.
It is often that q scamp escapes because
the officer who @works up the case,p or
makes the arrest, does not understand the
rules ofevidence in regard to confessions.
dying declarations, and the like. The
policeman ought to be educated enough to
read and write with ease, otherwise he will
be often exposed to error, to imposition,
aAd to contempt.
We hear that many applications are be-
lug made to the Police Board by citizens
who are good men and have done good
service, but who do not possess oil the
qualifications required. We hope they viii
not urge their claims in the absence ofsuch
qualifications. We do not believe they
win if they but reflect that the public inter-
est Is higher than that ofuny private per
son, and that the public interest surely re-
quires the strict observance Of the wise
rules which the Board has adopted.
