Several weeks ago, the papers told us OF the

Baa duly announced, which on the next day was

To many Of Us, thie land Of Khiya may be like

and has 6,500,o00 Inhabitants. Khlvs is tho

not be conquered without desperate struggle.

HAVE CITIZENS ANY RIGHTS THAT POLICE
MEN ARE BOUND TO RESPECT 7

To The Editor Of The Chicago Tribune:
sn: Please 1ead the following brief narrstive'
and then be kind enough to answer the above In
terrogatory. A gentleman Of this city WAS
quietly making up State street q few days ago.
when he WAS overtaken by = policeman, who,
putting his hand upon his shoulder, grufly told
him that he 81 wanted him" Confident Of not
having committed any act which would legal
" render him subject to such an arbi-
trary. arrest, the gentleman first asked
the officer what he "wanted him" <o1,
and then if he had any warrant for his
Arrest Receiving an unsatisfactory reply to the
first query, and an unequ1vocal negative to the
second, the gentleman declined 70 accompany
the ofioer- The latter thereupon undertook to
forcibly pui his reputation into effect Now
there be some meu Mr. Editor, who greatly dis
Ike to subject themselves to the insolent and
arbitrary demands Of another, even II that other
be clothed in the of1icial garb OF policeman,
end this Observation-Disclosures for himself,

really thought he "knew his rights, and, know

would have come of second-best had he not re-
ceiyed an accession to bis forces in the person OF
another policeman aud D pasaer-by who, seeing
the fracas, and presum1ng, probably, tnat the
officers were endeavoring to arrest some harden
ed desperate, pitched in and gave them his aid:
Thus surrounded, the gentleman was marched
of ignominiously to the Btatiou-hopse, where he
wae peremptorily ordered to hand over bis mon
ey ind other valuables, and was then confined to
q call for lie night. the payment OF a dollar
greenback enabled hin. to get messenger to
notify his family Of bis whereabouts but even
this handsome gratuity failed to in
sure the delivery OF the message,
and his wife passed sleopless night,
her imagination conjuring mp al sorts OF poss1-
BILE calamities which might have befallen her
husband The finale Of this "o'er true tale" is
this: When his case was called up on the fol-
lowing morning, the policeman made the stereo-
typed charge Of " disorder1y conduct and resist
INK an officer" The Court asked him to specify
what was the prisoner doing when he arrested
him7 Walking along State street. Did the Off
Ger see him create any disturbance No. Did
he have any warrant for his arrest? No. OF
course the Court at once discharged the prisoner
and mildly informed the policeman that he had
"exceeded his authority"l
Now, it is to bep1esumed that the subject OF this
outrage has, OF ought to havo, come redress
from somebody for the insults and injuries
heaped upon his unoffendIng hoad- Who is re-
sponsible, tho policeman who committed the
outrage, or the authorities who gave this man
his position, and clothed him with the power to
maltreat and abuse an innocent and laW-ablding
citizen In other words, have citizens any
rights that policemen are bound to respect

MONETARY.

SATURDAY EVENING, June 28
The past week has been characterized by
duietude in finances, and an accumulation Of
money in the financial centres. This will prob
ably be the tendency Of things in this line for
= month or two get. In this market there is
moro money offered by brokers in the street
than for year past. Loans On prime collater-
ais are offered in this way as low as per cent,
but in expectation Of . stringent money
market this fall, lenders are not disposed to let
their money out for longer than sixty days' The
very fact. however, that tight money market
Ii anticipated after that time, is likely to prevent
its being the case.
There seems to be q little moro disposition to
invest in local stocks, though prices OF tho
leading local stocks, city railways, banks,
etc., have not experienced tho usual
advance induced by the abundance
Of money at this season Of the year. 4
good many OF tho stocks had been pressed upon
the market this spring by merchants who had
held them for investment, but were obliged to
sell because the unfavorable spring trade had
left them short OF money. The earnings Of the
great majority Of these stocks, however, Were
never 80 large as this spring. The receipts Of
all the horse-rAilWayB are largely IN e1cesa OF
last year, and the banks have all made money.
