private business.
The Police Commissioners have evidently determined to
arm the superintendent OF Police with power, and

omary with mis- two predecessors There was slight
token Of this policy of the Board OF Police in an in-
cldent which took pace President Matsell's room
yesterday morning. IL has been the custom of the
police captains OF late years after formally reporting to
the superintendent the rst floor Of the building to
ascend the stairs to the of the Commissioners and
there again report themselves for duty This duty too
often consisted in doing political rather than police
work for the Commissioners Often also, the captains
received orders relation TO police business of which
the superintendent was kept Ignorant. The Supcrin-
tendent In this manner has been stripped OF great
