AN EFFICIENT POLICE SERVICE.

/ New York, Philadelphia, New Orleans and
other cities in the United States NAV rise No
and, in their bitterness, call Baltimore bless
ed That city actually boasts of the benefits
of an efficient police service We mean that
Mayor Banks, whose testimony is indorsed
by the Baltimore press, felicitatingly an
nounces the fact in his last annual MESSAGE
Referring to the police department, he SAYS
that :" the quietude that prevails In the city.
after the duties of the day are over, present.
ing contrast with other cities, is a silent
witness to the fact of service well discharged
in the interest of the public by the officers
and men,"
What is the explanation of this broad dis
simlhtude between Baltimore and other
cities? Why is it that one of its journals can
truthfully say Whether we take Philadel-
phia and New York in the East. or Cincinnati
and St Louis in the West, we are struck bv
the broad comparison between the lawless-
ness and crime which belong to them. and
the quiet which prevails in Baltimore. Here
the offences which the police records ex-
hlolt are, almost universally, trihing and un-
important Minor breaches of the peace. ex-
ceptional instances of drunkenness and disor.
der, and few cases of the pettiest larceny,
usually make up the whole story. Our eiti-
zens are not murdered in broad sunlight upon
the most irequented streets, nor are our Grim
lnaiS permitted to escape and laugh, in their
secure retreats, at the impotence of justice.
Inc proceedings of our tribunals rarely rise |
10 the height of dramatic interest; nor does
the enormity of crime give tragic character
70 the formal trials of our courts. The fact |
Is that with large daily increasing popu-
lslon, We enjoy in Baltimore, so far as crime |
Is concerned all the stiffness and monotony
Oh peaceful, law-abiding village?."
we perceive but one way to account for the
tact that Baltimore stands forth bannv
soleclsm amidst the police ineficiencies. the
uolclai lmpotencies, and the criminal i'm
punlues OF less fortunate cities. Her police
system is not modelled after the metropolitan
invention. 1t is not conceived and conSt;-
uted as the engine of corrupt party domi-
'auon' 1t is organized simply for the nro-
eetion Of the city, the preservation of ordor
ne security OF property and person. 1t is not

CITY FINANCES. have learned that q
bill is in preparation, which will be completed
and offered in the Legislature within few
days, providing for the funding of all of the
city's Indebtedness, in bonds payable in
twenty-five years, in two series, one at five per
cent interest to redeem city money, and the
other at six per cent. interest to provide for
the floating Indebtedness. This bill is in ac-
cordance with the provisions OF the ordinance
offered in the Board of Assistant Aldermen
last Tuesday evening on behalf of the finance
committee
The consolidated loan, which is due in 1892.
amounting to nearly Sc, 900 900, will, it ia
claimed, be entirely extinguished in 1882, un-
der the provisions of the consolidated act.
which provides that the city shall set aside
S650,0C0 every year to pay the interest, and
provide for the sinking fund which is applied
to the payment of that debt.
The bill in question provides that the con-
solidated act. which will expire by limitation
by the extiDguishment of the consolidated
debt, shall be re-enscted and made to apply to
the new loan SO that the $3.50, 600 per annum
shall at the expiration be applied to ex-
this new debt
The bill also provides for the payment by
the city, monthly, of a sum to make in the |
asuficient amount to pay the inter-
est on the new bonds until the time when the |
act will apply to the new loan
The bill now in preparation provides for |
both series of bonds payable in twenty-five
years, and the authors of the project calculate
hat, under a strict adherence to the law, the
whole amount, if it reaches S5,OOGOOO, will
'e extinguished in ten years from the date of
he application of the re-enactment of the
consolidated act-that is, that the whole pro-
,osed loan of $4,000. 900 (ss, 100000 of five
'er cent bonds and $4,000, 900 of six per
ent. bonds) can be paid without extra taxa
ion in the year 1892.

Mr.. Wolhey, the assessor of internal revenue
for this district being about to assess the
annual income tax-list, intends to devote
portion of the resources of his department to
the task of taking an accurate census of the
population of the city, for the information of
the National Bureau of Statistics 1t is to be
hoped that all persons will assist the deputy
assessors in obtaining this information. There
is general indisposition to extend cordial
welcome to the agents of the tax-gatherer; his
proper mission is by no means popular, and il
is naturally thought that when he asks ques-
lions he is trying to extort more taxes. Our
people may be assured that the deputy asses
sors have no such object in the inquiries thew
will make with reference to the population of
the city. The information which thew gain
Will be valuable if it be full enough to be reli-
able enough to afford an approximately accu-
rate idea of the true population of New Or
leans; but it will be worthless if people refuse
to answer reasonable questions. We hope
that the assessors will be able to conclude
their task satisfactorily to themselves and the
public. We have had no census of New Or
leans since 1860, and can only estimate our
population from imperfect data. If this ex-
pertinent fail we shall not know how many we
ire until the United States census taker makes
MS appearance in 1870.
