LsVee Reflections.
Everybody, as usual, expressed the
opinion that yesterday was the hottest
OF the season, although the official
Thermometer indicated the temperature
several degrees below the highest point
reached since the hot weather set ill.,.
One solitary policeman on the levee is
worse than bone at all, as they ale
pOweTless to manage evil-dOers. When
trouble occurs the pals OF the offender
gather round him and protect him to
the extent that be either escapes ARE.
by walking of on his ear, or the crowd
DEFY the officer. In every such case the
weakness of the law is made manifest,
and the single policeman becomes no
restraint whatever to those disposed to
do devilment. Below the elevator has
been the scene Of prize fights the past
day or two, but one policeman cannot be
expected TO guard the entire river front.
