WHAT SHALL BE DONE.

WHAT SHALL BE DONE.
Monday night the residence of I. II. Higln-
botham, 1923 Second strest, between Caron-
delet and BarOnne, was entered by burglars
who, from the traces left, were professionals.
They entered one of the parlor WINDOWS Dy
skilifully raising the bottom catch and
shooting the bolt of the Venetian blind and
then raising the sash, which, though bolted
at the top, was showed up sufficiently to
permit them to crawl under.
They disturbed nothing except IN the din-
ing-room and in the bedroom OF Mr.. Hlgln.
botham In the former apartment they found
and appropriated the silver ware " hich was
in daily use, and in the latter went sclentl-
fically through the pockets Of the Unconscious
gentleman, thoughtfully leaving his keys.
They failed to secure Mr.. HIS watch, which
was fortunately in safe place
The ,lenredafion was not discovered until
this morning, when the front door being
open. aroused the suspicion of MIR. Higin-
botham, who is now satisfied that he was
chloroformed. The thieves were no doubt
heightened off by his coughing, which he
thinks was the result of the chloroform.
There was no policeman at the Second
Street Market this morning when Mr.. Hlg-
inbotham called to report the burglary, and
he was compelled to go to the station, where
he was comforted with the information that
his silver had probably been melted before
this, ard he could scarcely expect to see 1T
more.
The. question arises, what are we to DO 7
ana the natural answer to that question
seems to be, "Protect ourselvesW The nu-
merOus burglaries that are occurring every
night, and the immunity which thieves and
murderers enjoy under the present State
Government, prove cOnclusively that
some prompt and effectual means should
be taken by our people to pro-
tect their lives and property. The po-
lice are too busy interviewing lamp posts or
organizing and participating in the pro-
ceedings of Radical ward clubs, to attend to
the duties for which they are paid, and the
people and their property are left to the
mercy of organized band, of thieves and
desperadoes The authorities have been
appealed to in vain-the answer of the
usllrper has been the release of small
army of the worst cOnvicts in the Peni-
Tertiary to swell the number of those whose
profession it is to prey upon society. We
must meet organization by organization:
The people must band together for mutual
protection and support, and every house
holder should provide himself with pri-
rate arsenel to repel attacks from Mr.. kel-
loggs pets.
