of 10,477 men is employed. 1t is now
about fifty years since the present police
system was adopted, and from the begin
ming about the same ratio of officers to
population has been preserved. The
present force is about equal in num-
bers to the United States Army en-
ployed during the Florida War, and
over one-third of the American
forces required for the conquest
of Mexico in 1S47-4S. The cost
of maintaining the London police per
head is far less than in the cities of this
country. For the men who, in New
York, receive 800 per month, in London
receive less than $40, and from the most
reliable information the latter appear to
be fully as efficient as the former. The
New York policeman, however, volun-
teers great deal of active labor in the
use of his club, while the Londoner keeps
the said weapon out of sight, and finds
other means of keeping the peace. A
London coop" is very seldom allowed to
carry firearms. He must rely upon his
muscle in casual contests with the
roughs.

COURTEsIEs OF THE RAIL.

There are street-car conductors, and
street-car conductors, and as the comfort
of the many-headed public, male and fe-
male, and especially the latter, so much
depends upon the pathology or idiosyn-
cracy of these gentlemen, it may be
healthy to discuss the two classes at
length. The S. C. C. at his worst now is
man who earns his 81 rs per day honest
ly and diligently, but he doesn't do any
thing more than he is required to do in
the strict line of his duty. He wastes no
courtesy and makes no show of interest
in the comfort of a crowded car. He
scolds nervous passenger who pulls the
bcll-strap and tells him curtly that he
was hired to do that business. He is al
ways afraid that his dignity-or his
toes-will be stepped on. He
draws the little bell-punch, which some
what resembles an old-fashioned pepper
box pistol, viciouslt, and acts as though
he bore either it or the passengers malice.
This sc. c. is of that class of s. C. c.
who before the introduction of bell
punches became round-shouldered from a
very frequent showing of nickels into the
boot leg. They mitigated the dividends
of the stockholders and became as gor-
geous'i their external lives as a Chicago
hotel clerk. Hence the street railway
managers between two expensive luxu-
ries preferred the nickel-plated bell
punch to the nickel-heeled conductor
But there is a class of street car conduct
ors, and we give them only what they
are entitled to by spelling their official
titles with capital letters, S. G. G.,
who are fully up to the require
ments of modern civilization,
and these S. G. C.'s are deserving of spe-
cial mention. There are but few of them
now, but may their numbers 60 on
steadily increasing for the rejoicing of
the untold millions who are at their
mercy daily. The capital S. G. G. is al
ways courteous. He helps those who
need help, both on and off the cars, and
never rings start until the duty is fully
accomplished. On crowding occasions he
sees to it that the race of hogs, of either
sex, don't monopohze more than their
just metes and bounds, to the exclusion
of other passengers. He knows the seat
ing capacity of his car, and he fills it.
before he permits any one to stand. The
shades are raised or dropped TO meet the
exigencies Of the sun, and the windows and
doors are kept open or closed to meet the
exigencies of the wind and weather. A
feeble woman with a sickly babe will be
consulted as to her safety or her pleasure
as assiduously and as kindly as though
she clustered in with the self-conscious-
ness of being the wife of large stock
holder in the road.
Towards little children especially who
may be uncertain about their destination,
and the old boys who from over work or
corner-grocery fatigue, may be little
oblivious as to their exact destination, the
S. G. G. (capitals) is beyond price. Hecares

As King Thebaw, the boss Burmese
hummer, is at it again we see no earthly
means of putting stop to this business,
except to send them up for thirty days
and notify those Chicago fellows that
their licenses will be revoked if they sell
him any more of that crooked stuff when
he comes out sobered up. Chat much at
least we think is due to the prejudices of
people not yet educated up to the point
of enjoying King Thebaw's playful pc
culiarities.

party retribution. The foul birds hatched
ont by the Democratic Legislature, by rob-
bing the citizens of Cincinnati of "home
rule" and abolshing their elected admins
trative officers and filling their places by
party appointment, are coming home to
roost The design of these measures was to
fill all the city departments of administra-
|'tion and work with men to work in the
election. But the Enquirer's prolonged
cry of distress shows that tthis
foul game has a back action. The
instinct of these employees teaches them
that when party resorts to measures so
INSCRIPTIONS they will be reformed as
soon as the party is defeated. 1t appears
by the Enquirer's shrek that the city em-
ployes perceive all this, and that they feel
that the defeat of the Democratic party in
this county is foregone, and, therefore, that
their future welfare does not lie in voting
the Democratic ticket-The Gazette quotes
an extract from the Louisville Courier
Journal, and says can we trust our organs
of sense? Why, this is an admission that
Governor Blackburn is the DR.. Luke P.
Blackburn, of the yellow fever plot. 1t
answers the question which Governor
Blackburn has refused to answer. So this
is that DR.. Luke P. Blackburn. If anybody
but Kentucky Democrat had said it, we
could not believe. And still we hesitate,
for does not the C.-J. in the same article
plead nonresponsibility for Governor
Blackburn So it appears that he is the
veritable DR.. Luke P. Blackburn.

many ways. That circumstance aids the
theory Of murder to considerable degree.
