THE DETECTIVE FORCE.

The police force of New Orleans is not only
the most expensive, but it is likewise the mos
inefficient and, SO far as portion at least, o.
the detective force is concerned, the most
disgraceful in this or any other country
There may be considerable philosophy in the
axiom "Set thief to catch thief, but we
would mildly and hesitatingly suggest that
there may be such thing as going too far IL
that direction.
That ex-penitentiary convicts and notorious
Jail birds may be Of service in tracking out
murderers and thieves we are fully prepared
to admit, but that these men should be ele-
waited to offices of trust and responsibility,
that they should be set up over honest cltl-
zens as officers of the law, as men worthy OF
consideration and respect, we take it is Dor
dering upon the absurd, and trenchng at the
same time upon the shameful.
Superintendent Badger must know that his
detective force, as at present organized, IS no
credit to himself no credit to the police force
and no credit to the city, besides being noto-
riously inefficient and Ialpably untrust-
worthy. Inc people OF New orleans pay SO
heavily for this police force that they have a
right to demand good service and we can no
more expect good service from bad men than
we can hope to gather figs from thistles. An
illustration of the weakness and unreliability
OF the detective force is furnished by the late
attempt to put up job on the notorious
thief, Matt Hogan.
This Hogan was once on intimate terms
with one of these detectives, who was then
singularly blind to his peccadilloes, but for
some reason this friendship was severed, and
now Hogan having incurred official dis
pleasure is grabbed on all possible occasions
and charged with crimes which he has not
committed.
That Hogan is a thief is true, but be should
not for that reason be made the butt of men
who are no better than himself. That he is at
large now is due to the inetfciency Of the
police force. # the detectives were all Of the
character Of Pecora, Devereaux, Roux and
st. Car, We might have less reason to com
plain

Famine deyours the East, and there is no por-

y. Wtraid.
The sterility of Asiatic countries is caused
by centuries of tyranny and war. There is a
blight in the breath Of dospots worse than
milIew, frosts, drought, worms or grasshop-
pers It is not felt in a year visible in a
decade, but when continued from age to age
and from century 10 century. tile very ground
feels the poison, and the land becomes a will
derness. Tnistles, brambles and fungi and
all monstrous growths are found in place Of
once green fields or waving harvests. The
forests that clothed the tops and sides Of
mountains to arrest and condense the floating
clouds, are shorn away to the bald and barren
rock
The chasms are now forever dry through
which the mountain torrents fell to cheer and
vivify the plains; then teelning with vegeta-
ton and covered with focks and herds, but
now yellow wastes of sand. Except for the
tread of the soldiers of tyrants those Asiatic
wastes, to the extent of countless millions of
acres, would now feed happy population as
dense as that OF China.
Asiatic desolation is proof that even the
surface Of the earth at last revolts against the
inhumanty Of tyrants, and will not yield her
increase to nourish them and slaves for their
use The hoofs and heels of armies, moving
for continuous ages through any region, will at
last leave it silent and barren, and the ruins
of its cities to be the haunts of bats and owls
Let us beware OF tyraats therefore. and dread
their armies as the forerunners of blight and
