a RESPECTABLE LADY. acting in an innocent
manner, was arrested yesterday in Broadway
dry goods store on suspicion of theft. This sort
of thing has gone on long enough. for it is posi-
lively becoming dangerous for ladies ito go shop
ping in the large retail stores. Ii merchants
cannot employ detectives possessed OF common
sense they should be made to pay roundly for
the social injury occasioned by an arrest under
such circumstances. Professional thicvcsare no
doubt too smart to be detected by these shop
detectives" hence their readiness to pounce
upon innocent persons. An example in the
shape of damages is the one thing necessary to
check these outrageous arrests.

THE WEATHER.--Thc storm which moved

afternoon has entirely passed away, and the b,-

Missouri Valley has advanced into the lake re-

VIII Mayor Cooper Explain,


On Wednesday. the 18th inst, the Mayor
had three members of the Police Commits
sion before him to show canse why they
should not be removed It was his inten-
tion to limit the hearing to that day, but at
the close of the proceedings he accorded
such further written replies as they might
choose to offer. This betokened a refresh
ing impatience of red tape and of the dila-
tory proceedings of lawyers, and the public
was led to expect that the Mayor, being
thus quickly in possession of all the evil
dence he thought necessary, would forth
with remove the Commissioners and send
his decision and the grounds of it to the
Governor.
That summary hearing was on the 10th of
March; to-day is the goth, and, so far as the
public knows, the removals have not been
made, and painful doubts are beginning to
arise in the minds OF many who are dis
posed to strengthen the Mayor in his origi-
nal intention as to whether this surprising
delay does not betoken o quailing
before obstacles which may result in
an abandonment of his purpose We
sincerely wish him we'll, and tell
him in all frankness that he cannot
afford to let these painful doubts
grow into settled distrust His studied
reticence is operating to his disadvantage.
Unless he either acts at once or explains his
friends will find it difficult to stand up in
his defence. 1t is not wise for public
officer to disappoint the reasonable expecta-
tions of the public. especially expectations
which he has himself inspired and en-
couraged.
If the Mayor finds an unexpected neces-
sity for forbearing or postponing action he
should be glad of an opportunity to explain.
We propose to give him this opportunity,
which he ought to appreciate and even to
covet.i We shall send to him this afternoon
a courteous and intelligent reporter who
will offer the columns of the HERALD for
any statements which the Mayor may
choose to communicate to the public with
out the awkwardness of seeming to pro-
trude them unsolicited. We have found
in our experience that public men in high
stations are often glad to accept this kind
of courtesy from the HERALD, and we
proffsr it to Mayor Cooper in sincere and
friendly spirit. OF course. he must be his
own judge as to whether he will accept it,;
but if he declines it there is one excuse
which we trust he willno offer He is re-
ported to have said on several recent oc-
casions, in reply to inquiries Of the
press, that he is not prophet and
can therefore answer no questions in rela-
ton to his future action. We would gladly
believe that he has never said anything of
the kind. A public officer who does not
himself know what he will do next in a
matter on which he is presumed to have
entered with deliberate purpose puts
himself before the public in an unenviable
light. It is virtual confession that he does
not know his own mind Prophecy is con-
cerned only with the uncertain part of the
future, and a public officer. with plain
duty before him, who regards his inten-
tions as coming within the scope Of
prophecy that is to say, who cannot con-
lecture to-day what his own mind will be
to-morrow-is not properly considerate of
his dignity.
