POLICE AND PISTOLS,

The local columns Of TIE TRIBUNE yesterday
contained two items which suggest radical re-
form In tho discipline Of tho police forco. A
Indy ia tho Rock Island Depot had her pocket
picked, aud discovered tho scoundrel in tie uct
slle called for help. and he fled through t1o
depot, pursued by tue Grove, among them po-
liconann, who, when no Baw that there was fair
prospect OF the escapo of tho pchpocket, drow
lis pistol and fired ut lin. but fael to hit him.
At III early hour on Saturday morning, police
man observed u burglar comiug out OF house
OIL Wnbnnh ayonue. 10 make good hia escape.
tho burglar fired at the policeman, aud tho po-
1iceman returned tic compliment, Of course
without hitting him. and tho fellow got away. Tho
sano burglar subsequently, ontorod another
house, but was scared away by another policeman,
who fired threo titnes ut him without hitting
him. This is tho old, old story, published in
almost evory issuo Of the daily pross, Of tho city
policemen firing ut burglars and mover hitting
tAom. What are pistols given to policemen for
il they cannot lit anything with them? It Ia
time that something was douo which will soouro

maraamen, they arc benoath contempt. Tho
shooting Of dog in the streets By a policeman
oudangers the lives Of tho whole nelghborhooa.
Now, before any moro wild nud random shoot ting
il dono, tho Police Commissioners should taio
prompt steps to perfect tho discipline Of tho
force in thia direction, or eso take pistols away
from tho mon. Lot thom ho put under daily
practice in eome safo place. and IT, ut tho end Of
months time, any Of tAom a1e found unable to hit

In all futrzs additions to tho force, lot
1t be understood ns IN imperative condition Of
acceptance that tho candidate shall unlorslaud
the use of pistol, aud bo good marksman. OF
course tho pistol ia to be usod only in caae OF
cxtromo nocoasity but when it ts used 1t should
be used with effect. II thore is danger TINT u
burglar may escape untoss stopped With pistol

in somo locality which will impede Ills progroas.
II it should happen to kill him, 80 much the
worse for tho burglar. There ia nothing which
would stamp out burglary 60 completolNas few

forco Ia armed, and liable to uso it's arms With

who seems to be as full Of grit as ever
The Republican party is held respon-
siblc for the distress that has been

come the party Of invested capital, a
party of bondholders and monopolists
The Republican party attracted the true
men of the country when it started, be-
cause IL started by bringing up labor.

the slave, and raised him to citizenship.
But war and the necessities of the gov
ernmcnt brought 20 the party the capi-
talists Of the country, and at last when
the war was over we had party, at the
head Of which were the capitalists, and
at the foot the negroes, with not much
afiiiation between them.

Gratis.
There is no occasion for your laugh
ter, as the Democratic party is in very
much the same condition. The old
Wing party leaders are tho capitalists
of that party, who would not come in
TO the Republican party because they
would not 80 rol bringing up the la
boring men. Finding no where else to
90 they went over, and became the
leaders In tho Democratic party, and
so that's party now with old Whig
bondholders for It's head and Irish for
its tail, [laughterl and there is very
little aflllialiton between tho head and
tail, either.

Lawyers in the Legislature.

Nashville Union and American: There
exists prejudice againstiawyers as leg
isators natural enough, perhaps, in is
origin, which may be exaggerated in
practice. II must be remembered that
the lawyers will have their chance at the
laws, anyway, before the courts, and
in order to prevent flaws that might
render them valueless, it is desirable
that the flaws should be discovered aud
remedled in the committee rooms Of the
Legislature. The most honest aud
earnest body OF men in The world, fully
aware of thu objccto ,hoy sought. might
draft law which would not hold water
in justices court, owing TO some legal
technicality. Evidently, there is need
and work in such body for few ac-
tive, acute aud conscientious lawyers,
and especially OH the committee which
has charge of tho revision Of bills.

How Woodworking Pays.


w. G. Ridgely tells the readers Of the
oldest agricultural papor in the United
States, the Baltimore American Farmer,
how wool-growing pays, in these few
words, AH
Washington county, Pom, is claimed
to be the banner county OF the State IN
wool.growing, and they take great nS
terest in this branch OF farm husband
ry, The product this year was over
2O00000 lbs., which brought over ST.
100000 in money Into tho county. AS
the county IL not run to sheep specially,
the bringing oe q million dollars every
year from outside can scarcely fail 10
insure permanent and conspicuous
prosperity. The people Of many 9th
er sections, byimitaiirg the practice
Of our Washington county friends, can
secure in measure their thrift. Ono
thing for which Washington county Is
remarkable is tho attention which sheep
owners give TO the Improvement OF their
nocks and the constant effort they
make 10 bold them TO the highest stand
ard. "i
If fifty counties In Tennessee would
profit by the success above Indicated.
and each draw from abroad million
dollars for wool exported, II would
mako taxes seem light, land sell high,
and prosperity universal.
