Usually, in matters Of this kind, the
Press has to moderate public senti-
ment in the present instance, it has
rather to stimulate it. There can be
no question that The growing habit of
living II of town, and of keeping
costly objects of one kind or another
in the house, has increased the temp
tation to burglary by increasing the
facilities for committing it. A house
IN London street may be tempting
enough in one way, bu, the know
ledge that the policeman's bulFs-eye
is cast on it so many times in the
course Of the night, and that his rat
tie will either bring help, or put
difficulties in the way Of escape, is u
great check upon a burglars enthusi-
asm. lie can count upon shooting
II policeman, but he cannot count
upon shooting several, and getting
off after all. In the suburbs of Lon
don, on the other hand, there are
numbers Of houses of which the con
tents are as attractive as those of a
London house, while the police pro
lection is little more than nomital.
Once in Il way a solitary policeman
strolls up the carriage-drive, or looks
over the fence at an inconyenient
moment; but if he can but be shot
the danger is pretty we'll averted.
There is no one 10 take up the pursuit
and the thieves get off quite easily.
The revolver has really answered the
end for which il was bought. 1t has
killed or disabled the one possible
pursuer,
The simplest mode Of dealing with
this new form of burglary would be
to raise the suburbs of a great town
II n level in point of security with
the great town itself. II there were
as many policemen on Kingston Till
or at BALKAN as there are il Cavcn-
dish Square or Eaton Place, the pc
cu,iar temptation Which the suburban
district now offers would be removed.
There would be the same feeling on
the part Of the burglar that, though
he might escape from one constable,
he could hardly hope to escape from
a dozen. Unfortunately, though this
would be a simple mode of meeting
the difficulty, it would also be a cost
Iy one and the majority among the
ratepnyerS, who have no particular
cause to fear the Eurglar's visit,
would probably decline to be taxed
for the benefit of those who are con
Scious that they have a good deal to
lose. 1t would be possible, of course,
to levy the additional police rate on
houses rated above a certain value,
but the principle of an impost being
voted by one class and paid by an
other is not one that we are anxious
to see extended. An extra police force
would be useful for other purposes
than the preventIonofbn'glar and the
poor r~atepayers might become even
100 solicitous 10 give their rich neigh
bours this particular kind Of security.
This obiection wouldnotapplyto anar-
rangement by which a certain number
of householders might apply to the Home
Secretary and obtain the services of an
ADEQUATE number of policemen, whose
duty should be confined to the protection

In looking over our country EXCHANGES
We perceive that most of the opp0sition

are ambitious of owning a great many
acres and making use OF but few. Like
the dog in the manger, who could NOT
eat the hay and would not let the OK
they practically refuse to permit those
who can and will put their surplus
lands to some use. An offer to purchase
hundred acres or so from one of these
land monopolists is considered the next
thing to an affrOnt. Not an acre will be
sold except at unreasonable prices. Their
unlmproved lands are held at the same
price as those under corn, cane, cotton,
or the homestead itself. This to the
