We go back to first principles, and devote all our

Reform is the word, from this out Purify the

cause they are fit, because they are honest, and
because they are worthy. The American people

THE POLICE ExToRTIoNs OF HUSH MONEY

we'll understand Men whore questionable ac

such Offices. But then, we can't help that. We

abuse Of police officers extortiug "hush money,

One Impression, however We wish to correct.
namely that our action in this matter springs
from prejudice against the police force As We
have before said We believe that number OF the
Mayors appointments are good ones some Of
them are excellent. Even those whom
We have shown up in scandalous transactions
may be good officers in some respects but these
acts Of extortion aud black-mail Withdraw public
confidence from them. They have forfeited re-
spect by their own actH al public officers. Fur.
thormore, they do not mend matters, by send
