Or HIS MERITs.-Now that the Board OF
Police Commissioners is reconstructed, and
in tolerably good working condition. 1t IS
but right that the merits Of the best men on
the force should be recognized. There are
several vacancies, and might be more OF
places above patromen which are to he
filed within few days. Without III the
least dispara ging the merits OF others we
can not refrain from speaking good word
for Corporal Vankirh. officer we never
spoke to dozen times. but one we have
often noticed as possessing most OF the
qualifications for good policeman. HIS
conduct for many months past has been I'M
exceptionabe, and he knows only his duty
when opposed by men of position who oc-
casionallv attempt to violate rules OF de-
cency in the rear of the First District.
Let Vankirk be promoted for he is deserv-
ing and fully qualified.
