In examining the report of the several
Officers OF the village OF RuiionG, ana CON-
parlDg them with the reports of other mu-
inequalities, one very noticeable omission
will be found. There is no report from
the police department We have chief
Of police, several policemen, and a uumber
OF night watohmen and it appears that
something over thirteen hundred dollars
has been paid to these officers-incuding
the sum allowed for lighting the street
lamps-and yet no report is required from
any of these officers. We think that a re-
port should be required from these officers,
30 that the tax payers may be Informed
just how much these policemen are paid,
and SO that the community may know how
faithfully the laws have been observed dur
ing the year. Such report should EN-
brace, at least, the number of arrests made
by each officer, for what otfenses,' the fees
received therefor, and the disposition made
of the offender. These fees, TO be sure
are paid by the state or town, but the pc
lcemen are the creatures of the village,
and the village s entitled to know what
they have been doing as such officers dur
ing the year, and the amount paid for do
ing it. These facts are material to be
known both in fixing the pr diem pay Of
the officers and the number Of policemen
required, as we'll as for their bearing in
showing the stste Of public order during
the year

Desperate Attempt to Blacken Bris.
tow

The Chicago whiskey ring, it appears,
have resolved TO have a victim in
some of the treasury officials who
have been engaged in the prosecu-
tons. Secretary Bris.ow and Solicitor
Wilson have been especially selected for
for this purpose. 1t has been ascertained
that detectives employed by the ring have
been for months ged in this sche,ne.
Wilson has come into possession of the or
iglnal telegram from well known person,
asking il it is not possible to discover
something against Wilson that will stick
for big money" 1t is said 10 be also sus-
ceptlble of proof that Chicago detective
now here made direct offer TO former
government officer Of 100000 If a case
could DO worked up against Wilson, and
that the offer was subsequently, increased
to 1926 600.

The First Public Reading Of the De-
claratiOn.

The declaration was written by Jeffer-
son, as he himself stated in letter TO DR..
Mease, in his lodging house at the south
west corner of Market and Seventh streets,
Philadelphia. The house ia still standing,
and is occupied by tailor, who shows his
PATRIOTISM by calling HE chop the Temple
of Liberty Clothing Store" The instru-
mcnt WAS signed in the east room of the
state house, on the lower floor. 1t ap-
peared in the next day paper "side by
side with negro child tor sale, but was
not officially given to the people until
MONDAY on the 9Th of July, when it was
read to large concourec of people in the
state house yard by John Nixon, deputed
to the task by the sheriff of Philadelphia,
who had received it from the committee.
The stage on which the reader stood was
rough wooden platform on the line of the
eastern walk, about half way between Fifth
and Sixth streets. Deborah Logan, Hho
lived in tho neighborhood, states that she
heard from the garden, every word of the
instrument read and thought the voice
was Charles Thompaon's. In spite of all
evidence in favor of Nixon, VIC choose to
believe her. The man of truth should
have fret made known those words TO hui
msrity. Cheers rent the welkin, tttt-de-
joie was fired, the chimes of Christ church
rang through all the bright summer day
and the old bell gave at last to the world
the message it had received quarter of a
century before, aud proclaimed liberty to
all this world.
The weekly papers--little thin sheets a
few inches squaie-giye us for weeks after
ward accounts of the rejoicing and wild
enthusiasm of the other provinces as the
declaration reached them. In New York
one singular effect produced was that "a
general Jail delivery OF all prisoners took
place, in pursuance of the Declaration of
Independence by the Hon. Congress. -

THE THIRD DISTRICT,

The Burlington Free Press says, in an ar
tice we publish elsewhere, that if George
w. Hendee, representative in congress
from the third district, is 'justly open" to
the "charge," as made by The GLOBE, 'of
g constant absence from his seat in the
" house, and neglect of duty he ought not
"to be returned to congress. 1t says,
however, that it's "means of information"
upon the subject are at least equal to ours,
and that it does mot understand that any
" such complaint can properly be brought
"agaiDst him We doubt not that the
" means of information" of the Free Press
are fully equal to ours, but we are inclined
to think that 1t does not make use Of those
means, unless, perchance--and perhaps
that is the most reasonable explanaion--its
course and belief on the subject is but an
other illustration of the truth of the saying
that one convinced against his will remains
of the same opinion still.
Our statement relative to Mr. Hendee
was, in substance, that, during the previ-
cuo Soh5iSoS, obO Sooiu h"auiy tahc up
certain New York newspaper without
meeting personal" paragraph to the ef-
feet that Congressman Hendee was re-
" siding at the Fifth avenue hotel,' or
words to that effect--and the files Of the
New York HeraM will prove that The state
ment is true. We further stated that he
always voted right, but that his name was
found, not among the yeas and nays, but
recorded as "absent or not voting ami
as specification We referred to the fact
and it 10 fact, as the journal of the house
and the Congressional Record will prove
that during the second session Of the Forty
third congress, he is recorded as absent or
not poting one hundred and seoenty-0ne
times, and as voting only forty-hve times.
This is fact of record. 1t ia proved by
the journal of the house, and .ustaina our
" charge" as the Free Press calls It, OF
" constant absence from his seat" and
"neglect of duty"
The original statement was, of course,
made in general terms, ard would have
been understood without explanation but
the specification shows the ground of the
statement and, according to the Free Pres,
