The growth of crime in Philadelphia is
becoming alarming. 1t is to be attributed
almost solely to the character of the police
force as constituted under the Copperhead
regime. The few men it contains who un,
derstand the artifces of the dangerous Grim
inals of the day, occupy subordinate positions,
and though their assistance redeems the de
partment from absolute imbeci!ity, they are
powerless to direct. Rascals of all grades
can count confidently on gaining time for
escape through the ignorance, connivance,
or blunders of men who have been entrusted
with duties which they are unable TO dis
charge. 1t is fearful thing for a great
city to get under the control of its thieves
and greggeries. but it invariably results
from Democratic victory.

IF a man worth twenty millions of dollars,
can shirk the Income Tax by paying the
paltry item of eight dollars and ninety cents,
why might 1t not as well he repealed? Some
of our ClearfeId money changers have been
regarded as pretty expert in getting rid OF
their income so as to avoid the tax, but
their achievements pale before the pecunious
