PUZZLED POLICEMEN.
A Batch or Grammatical Errors Dis.
charged nt Their Heads.


From the days when "the bigger man than old
Grant" iourishcd, which marked the advent of
the era of Democratic nsccndency In Congress, to
the present time, when the Democracy Is on tho
wane some most curious official documents have
been promulgated from the Capitol. There are
now posted In conspicuous places in tho building
official bulletins, which form n very interesting
study for the student of official literature, and
furnish big budget of examples of false syntax
for civilservice examination.
These bulletins prescribe rules and regulations
for the Capitol police force and bear the names of
Architect Clark and Sergeants.at-Arms Bright and
Thompson as approving both the rules and regu
iations and the grammar. The poor Capitol police
man In order to learn what his duties are is COM
pcled to study such sentences as the following re-
inarkablc both for their grammar and for per
spicuity "The officer Of each relief will inspect
their respective force before going on duty and
room in body aud relieve each man on duty"
and leach member of the force shall be stationed
at such posts as the captain may from time TO
time designate, and shall visit each portion of their
beat at least once every half hour
As 1t Is necessary to protect the building from
injury by the police, they are informed that "they
other portions of the building, by leaning against
or putting their feet OH the same" The use of
Intoxicating liquors by members of the force while
thorlzed" 1t is stated to make and enforce such
additional rules and regulations as from time to
time he may deem necessary and shall be approved
by q majority of the board And in q final
brilliant passage II Is yet forth that II shall be the
duty ofthe officers of this force to see that these
rules are faithfully observed and the failure to do
As will be seen, the faithful observance of the
rules may require an oiiicer on some occasions to
be In several places at once, as he Is to be "sta'
toned at such posts" as the captain may designate
The reckless use of pluruls and slngulars has CON
fused the poor Capitol policemen TO such an eX.
tent that no member of the force could tell, with
out thinking for moment, whether he was one
policeman or half a dozen,
