CuIEF-oF-PoLIcE nEC1.
Recently, number Of stories about Chief
Beck that have been in circulation at different
times for years past. and died away in due
season for want OF sufficient sustcnancc to live
on, have been collected together and dlsllcd up
IN the shape Of sensational cntcrprlslng dis
coyery on the part Of Il Chicago paper. Without
undertaking to determine the precise proportion
OF truth and lies there may be in the sensation,
] may say, at all events, there is good deal
Of strnight, square lying i'll the document, to the
certain knowledge Of many respectable persons
thoroughly posted Oh the facts; SO much lying,
indeed, that nothing but deliberate intention
to make out a ease against Beck can explain it.
Still there remains good deal about these old
time stories that never had pretty look and It is
satisfactory to hear that the Chief Is getting
ready the whole story, which Will be completed
very soon, perhaps before this letter Is printed
Mr.. Beck bus been East, for the purpose Of Sec
ing the principal actors in the rakcd-up scam
tlals, and Mr.. J. p. c. Cottrill, an attorney in
first-class standing, who is chief officer Of tho
Frcemasons Of this State, has been in Yer
mont, his old home, with his family, and whilst
there interviewed the bankers referred to in
the last sensation, whom hc has, known since
childhood, obtaining the data necessary for q
thorough overhauliug Of the matters referred
to, aud is now engaged in putting his docu-
mentary and other evidence in shape to bc sub
1nittcd to the Mayor. Mr.. Cottrill in the 1nean-
time authorizes me to say there IS not sclntnla
OF evidence Of guilt on the part OF Beck. In the
meantime, call has been luade on the Mayor to
suspend tho Chief, but, as the only charge
against Mr.. Beck was printed article Of An
evidently sensational character i'll notoriously
untrustworthy sheet, and as not single citizen
of responsibility could be found to indorse it
personally, the Mayor very properly delayed
aetion, pending the preparation of the Chiefs
reply to.the newspaper article. That is the
situation Of the Beck scandal at tho time Of
writing.
ESJoyMEETs FOR THE poyERrY-sTRuCK.
The example Of Chicago and New York, in
furnishing trips on the water, or to some pleas
ant piece Of woodland, for the needy and suf-
fcrfng. who pass tug greater part OF their lives
in unhealthy aboocs, and have no power to help
themselves, is likely to be followed in this city,
the Milwaukee County Medical and Surgical Socic-
ty having inaugurated movement with that OBJ
jcct in view. Drs. Stcarns, Dorland, and Bristol,
Wolcott and Haasc, q committee appointed to i'll
yestigatc the subject, reported i'll favor OF san
itary excursions on the lake, under medical
putcd to wait on tho Common Council aud ask
aid for the purpose. This was done, and the
matter will come up next week. If the Council
will donate 4 SUM OF money, it is hoped tile
balance can be obtained by private
subscription. The total amount required
will be about S1,a00, the cost Of each trip
being estimated at $50, or thereabouts.
Sanitary excursions Of this kind, designed ouly
for the poor and suffering, cannet fail to DO
good. The poyerty-stricken will bc made to
feel there are hearts that love them and beat for
them, and will surely not 1ail them in the hour
Of dire distress; and the sick will have medical
care and the priceless blessing OF being carried
into the pure air OF the lake. Those who have
whole limbs and plenty Of money, who c:n 90
hither and thither at their pleasure, better try
and figure out how they would welcome u suilf
Of fresh, pure air at somebody else's expense if
they we're down in sick bed without money, or
friends, or hope, and uncertain where the next
crust Of bread Was to come from. It is by such
agencies us these excursions that We can draw.
