DEFECTS IN THE ADMINISTRATION OF
THE POLICE,

DEFECTS IN THE ADMINISTRATION OF
THE POLICE.
The Police Board is probably defective
in perceptive faculties. Upon no other
hypothesis can We account for the incon-
sistencies which are from time to time re-
ported. Within short time it has been an
nounced that Matt Hogan is appointed on
the detectiye force, while Captains Schrei-
Der, Robinson and Malone have been re-
duced to patrolmen's pay, and two Of
them assigned to duty where their expe-
rience and recognized abilities will not be
employed. Again, while protesting to be
cutting down expenses and effecting re-
forms, large number of names are borne
on the lists of those employed in other
business. At all events, they perform no
duty as policemen. Members of the Leg
islature, ward runners and newspaper re-
porters are regularly paid out of the police
fund simply because their names are
borne on the rolls. Men who have
formerly been dismissed the force
for aggravated offenses have been
but recently re-employed-long enough,
however, for some of them to repeat their
offenses. The brutal beating of P. N.
Brown, yesterday, is an illustration. One
of the policemen engaged in that transac-
ton was, not along ago, dismissed the
force, but has since been reappointed in
the private interests Of one of the commits
sioners, who is believed to have political
aspirations of no mean consequence. We
have not cited this as an isolated case.
We are informed it is fair sample of the
custom which prevails.
Economy is no doubt very desirable
virtue, but efficient service ranks it in all
relations of life, whether public or private.
There is no economy whatever in paying
men out of the public funds who perform
no public service whatever, nor is there
any in displacing tried ability by utter
inexperience, or disbanding useful officers
to obtain funds with which to support
mere pensioners. A legislative committee
of inquiry might not be amiss just now.
Perhaps an insight into the manner of
transacting business would have good
effect. Especial attention should be given
to what may be called for purposes of
of convenience, the ''post roll, and the
employment of SO many detectives, who
never find out anything in connection
with their official duties except the little
matter connected with the pay roll.

HOW TaE ENGINEER ssLET HER
OUT A LITTLE" AS HE
Prayed.

Not long ago an engineer brought his
train to stand at a little Massachusetts,
village where the passengers had FIVE
minutes for lunch. A lady came along
the platform and said: The conductor
tells me the train at the junction in p.
leaves fifteen minutes before our arrival.

car. and no money for hotel. and none

Would it be possible for you to hurry
little, said the anxious. fearful mother.
No. madam, have the time table,
and the rules say | must run by it.
She turned sorrowfully away. leaving
the brOnzed face of the engineer wet
with tears. Presently she returned and
said. Are you Christian?
trust | am, was the reply.
win you pray with me that the Lord
may in some way delay the train at tho
junction
Why, yes, ! will pray with you, but
| have not much faith.
Just then the conductor cried, All

to her deformed and sick child. and
away went the train climbing the grade.
Somehow, said the engineer. every

why the train waited.
Men can raise objections and ask ques
tons and make out Of it anything bu
divine help manifesting itself in natu
raj way. but to the believer in God'i
word, it is a manifestation Of that power
promised to every sincere believer And
how far of from these promises and thii
divine teaching concerning prayer live
the average disciple. Indeed. he wht
has now the name, Israel. will say tina

its efficacy is like drawing few dollar

treat the question in metaphOrical way
or is Christian faith too weak to find th,
meaning underlying these apparently
far-reaching promises I? If there be 1
God, such as is revealed in the Scrip
lures and in nature, then prayer is th'
only reasonable thing for man. and th'
promises only family describe the posi-
bilities in prayer.
