The New York policeman is q study. He is q
mixture OF cruelty and stupidity that can't be
matched anywhere, unless it be In Ireland AS a
rule he is big-boned and fat His face is rosy, and
II he has been on the force long the red changes
to purple, and his eyelids droop. There isn't a

lose sight OF the injustice OF the act This time it
was the sergeant who figured prominently. A
policeman found poor woman sitting on the

was suffering from chilS and fever. Instead OF
driving her home with his upl1fted club he
showed little kindness OF heart, and took her TO

GoVERNoR-E ELECT PATTISoN'S letter to
the Philadelphia committee declining a
military escort to Harrisburg on the Oc-
casion of his Inauguration, is move in
the direction of simplicity in govern
ment that will be very acceptable to the
people. His words are wise enOug to re-
print in this connection. Says the Gov
ernOr-elect:
"I have always entertained profound
conviction that simple and undemon-
stratiVe inauguration of public officers
was most in accord with the spirit of
republican institutions. There Is no
reason that l can see why the mere TAX
ing of an oath by the citizen called by
the people to execute a public trust
should be made the occasion for scenes
of pageantry and demonstration. TO my
mind the sOlemnity of the act IS marred
by the intrusion of such needless and
inOppOptune display. The sooner we re-
turn to simplicity and Democratic good
sense in these matters the better for the
people and better for the officers. Be-
sides, am resOlutely determined, so far
as L can control the matter, my inaugu'
ration as Governor shall not cost the
people of Pennsylvania one dollar.
Why should it? They derive no benefit
from such scenes, and money spent there
on is wasted"
Besides the money saved it will be a
return to the customs of better day,
when there was less sham and shoddy
and more of honesty and heart in public
affairs. The historian Parton describes
Jefferson's inauguration-his ride on
horseback with one attendant down the
avenue to the Capitol. and the simple
ceremony of taking the oath in the SEN
ate chamber-has always seemed to us
the most charming incident in the long
line of Presidential inauguratiOns.

The Joint committee of Congress on
American shipbuilding and shipOwning
interests, met last week at the Fifth Av-
enue Hotel. Congressman Page of Cali
fOrnia was absent. Secor RObesOn ap-
peared. Mr.. John Roach, the shipbuil-
der was present. Congressman Cox and
others poured studiOusly over the mass
of documents presented.
Congressman Dingley first handed in
table of imports and exports, from
1910 to 1882, and the percentage carried
on American vessels. In 1910 the fig
ures of exports and imports were $239-
227,465, and the percentage was 82.9.
After 1850 the percentage declined rap
idly, and in 1882, with exports and i'm
ports of $1,567O71, 700, the percentage
carried in American bottoms was only
1916.
Quite a number of persons appeared
and advocated government help to- build
ships.
Secor Robeson asked: Don't the value
of ship depend upon the trade she car
ries? Amt subsidy pure prOteetiOnT'
"It's pure steal" said Congressman
Cox sOttO VOce.
Mr.. E. d. BigelOw of Baltimore thought
the question of subsidies an unpleasant
one to discuss. He favored buying
ships wherever he could buy them the
cheapest.
Messrs. Henry D. Welsh, Jos. D. Potts,
Clement A. GriscOm, Chas. H. Cramp and
Philip Fitzpatrick, of the Philadelphia
Maritime Exchange, wished the Gov
ernment to provide for The payment of
certain rates of compensation to all
American built iron steamships launch
ed prior to 1893, whose majority inter-
est is owned by American citizens or by
American corporations; such vessels to
become OF remain entitled to such pay
ment, should be able to carry at least
1000 tons of cargo; their officers should
be American citizens, and they should
be engaged in the foreign carrying
trade"
The present condition of our merchant
marine is certainly lamentable, and
change of policy is demanded. 1t is
claimed that the protective policy of
the Republican party has been the ruin
of the ship-building interest. 1t
amounts, it is believed, to a practical
embargo. Our commerce increases con-
stantly, but the merchant marine of the
United States declines from year to year,
until American ships do not carry one
sixth of our commerce. The result was
otherwise under Democratic policy.

THERE are some who search for gen
eralities to find cause for the Republi-
can defeat. Others do not. Among the
latter is the New York Tribune:
Acting President Arthur knows the
cause of FOlger's defeat by 1851 900 votes.
When he inherited the Presidency, after
leading shameful warfare of faction
against the Executive chosen by the
people, he sOlemnly pledged himself to
walk in the path and carry forward the
policy Of his murdered predecessor. THAI
pledge ne has neither kept nor tried to
keep. On the contrary, he has reversed
the policy of President Garfield in every
important feature, defied the will of the
people expressed in the nomination and
election of that noble leader, used his
place and power to wreak the vengeance
of malignant faction upon the follow
ers and the friends of the dead President,
outraged public opinion by Tewarding
men who had tried to blacken the name
of the departed statesman, abused his
trust and prOstituted his power in order
to place large majority of Republicans
in subsection to a small minority, and
labOred desperately to enable a small
faction to dictate to the whole party and
the country. The result is political
revolution. No other cause can be as
signed for the events of Tuesday.
