VIcToRIoUs-Some person, probably in
duced by malignant intentions, laid a serious
charge against Recorder Staes before the
Grand jury, and he was compelled to fur
nish heavy bond. 1t was asserted that he
had fined man named Brown twenty-five
dollars for violating State law. The real
fact was that the accused was charged with
having violated city ordinance Yester-
day Brown was dismissed by the Criminal
Court, as there was no case against him.
Thus Recorder Staes triumphs over his
secret enemy without having made an effort,
and the serious charge falls of its own vile
weight.

have been made to place the best descrip-
ton of men on duty, night and day, in that
central locality. Several of the officers
possess histories which are substantially
real and romantic. In selecting these men,
qualifications of the best order were first
demanded, and their performances will be
closely criticised. Before the busy season
opens, all officers in the First District will,
perhaps, be up to the highest standard.
