At twelve o'clock the maskers were re-

The Police Bill.

The Times of yesterday morning contains
| the following paragraph:
In the Senate, on Friday, was brought
forward the bill amending the Metropoli-
tan Police act, providing for an apprOpria-
ton to reimburse the members of the force
for loss sustained on depreciation of their
| warrants, and, as elsewhere recorded. the
bill passed.
We can not think our neighbor intended
to misrepresent the purport Of the bill now
before the Legislature, but prefer to think
its error was caused by ignorance OF the
measure referred to.
The fact is, the bill does not reimburse
the policemen one dollar for deprecated
checks. 1t simply provides for the abolish
ment of the warrant system, under which
the men have suffered a shave averaging
twenty-five per cent the year around, and
inaugarates the cash payments instead. The
bill hurts no one except brokers and mid
dle-men, who have grown fat on the police
mems earnings, in the past, while it pays
the men what the law-now seven years
old-says they shall receive.
On the other hand, taking the expenses
of the police for last year as guide, the
city and the corporations composing the
police district will save upward of 900
per year, if this bill becomes law.
We will explain: During the past year
there was paid to the men for salaries
$6O4,l33 49, This amount was paid in
paper, OF value fluctuating from sixty to
ninety cents on the dollar. The men sold
their paper, and lost the discount. During
the same year the board of commissioners
issued warrants to cover $l34,7l0 Sc, ex.
pended for labor, supplies, rents, equi p
ments, fuel, forage, etc. This amount was
subject to the same discount, which had to
be made good by the issue and sale at mar.
ket rates Of other warrants. These bills
had to be paid in cash, and the cash had to
be made up by the sale of deprecated war.
rants.
The warrants have the past year aver.
aged market value, the year round. Of
seventy-five cents on the dollar. With cash
payments, then, twenty five per cent of this
amount would have been saved.
There are many reasons why this bill
should pass, but we have not yet heard one
logical reason advanced why it should not
pass. 1t pays the men cash and saves
money to the city. 1t stops the issuance of
warrants, SO that hereafter city licenses and
taxes will be paid in currency. The bill has
already passed the Senate and is ON its way
through the House. We trust nothing will
prevent its passing that body at once.

knowledge of what is to appear or not to
appear therein, until he sees it in print-a
false impression may have been conveyed
thereby, which in justice to, but without
consultation with, him we desire to correct.
1t is well known that some of Mr.. Baxter's
friends desired to present his name as a
candidate for town representative before
the republican caucus, Saturday evening.
He was approached by certain gentlemen,
and requested to become a candidate, but
he peremptorily declined, Some ten days
or more ago, he informed us, personally,
that he could not, under any circumstances,
consent to be candidate. On the same
day, Friday, August 21st, he wrote lis @
note, from which we make the following
extract; Sowing to business engagements

The shadows, if emay use such word
in this connection, cast by the closing acts
in the life of distinguished statesman are
apt to darken, if not entirely hide from

service of his district, his state, and his
country, when each added year of his life
was but added to his reputation and the
deserved respect and love of his
fellow-citizens and constituents, are
we not wont to forget that there
was time when we took him on trial
