4 PECULIAR POLICEMAN.

To EhS EdfoT Of Ihe Chicago IT:oMnt.
CHICAGO, Aug. 14.-Our police system ought
to improve under the present administration, for
certainly there is ample space for improvement.
When policeman will not arrest noisy, drunk
en-, fighting brute because no one has given him
authority to do 80, aud has not pledged his word
to make charges against said brute, it is time
such offcer. patrolman. or watchman, by what
ever name he is properly recognized in bis Off
cial capacity, should be relieved and one put in
his place who can recoFnizo and
arrest u disorderly person without fear
or favor. And when & patrolman will
take pains to stop and tell i boy engaged III
legitimate occupation that one OF the neighbora
Of mis- employer is suspected Of being engaged
in counterfeitlng and 'a under the surveillance
OF detectives, 1s it not time that some one moro
discreet or less imaginative should be substitute
ed? And when these careful and careless po~
licemen are united in one and tho game person.
is it not high time that some one less careful and
less bareless bo substituted. The above is drawn
from actual experience with policeman on tho
West Side, and am at all times ready to verify
the same. OBSERVER

Tie Potomac Region in 1898.

Mr.. W. F. Carne is publishing in the
Alexandria Gazette series of interesting
historical sketches. under the title of The
Annals Of Alexandria, In one of the
numbers of that paper last week, the au-
thor gives the following:
The population of the Potomac region al this
time had grown sufficiently numerous to re-
quire what in modern days are called mail
facilities and accordingly when public post
was established in 1895 throughout a portion
of the colonies the route made from
Potomac through Annapolis to Philadelphia -
by this conveyance letters could be sent north
ward-etght times year. The rates being
afterwards fixed by act of Parliament the peo-
pie were made to believe $50 wrote Spottswood
afterwardsl that the Parliament could not lay
any tax-"for so they called rates Of postage.
without the consent Of the General Assembly -
The act, however, was put in force without the
consent of the people.
The same year, the Maryland plantations
having more than kept pace with those upon
the Virginia side of the river, the upper portion
of Charles county was cut off and erected into
a separate shire under the now-famliar name
of Prime Georges County.

Sale of Stock, &c.

We learn that the stated sale of stock,
&C., at Cox Station, on Wednesday last was
largely attended and everything sold at
satisfactory prices. 1t is the purpose OF
Col. Cox to have these sales at stated
periods and they can but prove to be bene-
fetal to farmers living in the neighbor-
hood. Any one having horses, cattle or
even produce for sale can always avail
themselves of these occasions to sell.
Hucksters, &C., from the cities attend and
are ready to buy anything in their line.
We are glad to learn that everything passed
off so well, and we hope the enterprise of
the Colonel will be encouraged by the
public.
We regret that Col Cox is detained at
home by indisposition from remittcnt fever.
He is attended by Dr.. Robt. Digges and
we hope to hear of his speedy recovery.

To Fruit Growers.

We call the attention Of our readers to
the advertisement of Mr.. H. r. Robey of
the Hopewell Nurseries, near Fredericks-
burg, Va. All the fruit offered by Mr..
Robey is of his own raising at these nurse
ries, and is of such kind as his long ex-
pericnce has taught is suitable to and will
flourish in our soil and climate. Every
year we buy quantities of fruit from agents
of Northern nurseries. who travel through
the country Soliciting orders. After plant
ing the fruit and waiting years for it to
mature we then find out it is not what it
was represented to us. OF course we abuse
the agent and the nurseries from which the
trees came and say they cheated us, when
perhaps it was only our fault for buying
fruit not suited to our climate and soil
Besides thus finding ourselves in the pos
session of an inferior instead of a superior
article. we have lost two or three years Of
valuable time, which cannot be recalled.
Here is an opportunity now to buy that
which is especially suited to our lands.

Civil Rights.


Our neighbor, the Independent, in its
editorial this week, is of the opinion that
this bill is unconstitutional. Its argu
ment reads very much like unfolding the
old doctrine of States Rights. We are
glad however that our friends have given
this opinion and only regret that it was
not uttered sooner, for doubtless the Re
publicans in Congress, if they had seen it,
would have hesitated a long time before
passing the bill. Our friends say that the
negroes here are not in favor of enforcing
it. We are glad to hear this also. because
it comes from good authority. But not
outstanding all this, some of them did
seek to avail themselves of its supposed
privileges on Saturday ight last, we learn,
by invading one of the bar-rooms Of this
town, but the proprietor being of the
opinion that the bill did not apply to his
premises caused them to leave. We hope
seriously hereafter they will take the adj
vice of our neighbor and not go where they
are not wanted.
