TnE people OF Los Angeles, irrespee-
tive Of party, have determined to give
General Hancock splendid reception.
The hero Of Gettysburgh has encoun'
tered in San Francisco an ovation which
we cannot hope to parallel in numbers
or in the lavishness OF outlay; but, in
genuine spontaneity and enthusiasm,
Anpelehos will not be behind the me
tropolis Of the Bay. Here, for years,
General Hancock represented the gov
ernment of the United States In a mill
tary capacity. The. fierce light which
beats upon Presidential candidate as
upon a throne failed 10 develops flaw in
the character of this peerless soldier OF
the Union. Here. where he is so well
known, the testimony Of every one who
ever met him proclaims the spotless pur.
ity and perfection Of His personal char
acter. II is entirely fitting that those
who have devoted the best years OF their
lives to the unseliish service OF the Re
public should, from time to time. be re.
minded that their patriotic iabofs have
not been forgotten by the people.

A specimen "Convenience. ;,

Car No. So, going north on the massachusetts
avenue line of street railway, about half-past IL
O'Clock on Tuesday night, carried ten passengers
between the Denison and the intersection with
Christian avenue. During the entire time five
of these passengers were smoking cigars and one
smoked a pipe, The other four were compelled
to "enjoy" the smoke and stencil, or else get out
and walk, alter having paid their fare for the
convenience and comfort of a ride. In no other
city IN the country would such an outrage be
permitted; but the street-ear company of Indi-
annapolis permits its vehicles to be turned into
pig pens by human brutes, without even SO much
as protest. There is not car on any railway
in the land in which men are permitted to smoke
at WILL except in those specially devoted to this
purpose, and which can he avoided by other pas
sengers. Why can't decent street railway be

THE NEW POLICE.
The Agreement Which the PatrOlmen Must
Make with the BOard-Mr. Murphy's
Relative to Be City Marshal.

The metropolitan police commissioners were
IN session yesterday morning and again in the
afternoon, but there was no conclusive action of
any Importance. Another Democrat, Fred
Spering, was appointed a patrolman, which
makes the full number to which the Democrats
are entitled. There are Two or three Republicans
yet to be chosen. There is some dissatisfaction
over an agreement which all members of the
force are required to sign, and some of the
patrolmen have declared that they would not
agree to Its terms, it affords littio opportunity
for defense against unwarranted charges which
may be made against them by enemies. The
agreement reads as follows.
ITO the Board of Metropolitan Commissioners of In
dianapolis:
"Gentlelneu-In consideration of my appoint
ment as member of the metropolitan police
force of said city, this day rendered me by your
board, agree that a summary hearing may be
mad ON any charge or complaint made against me
on account of my official acts, hereby waving
all right to public trial of any such charge or
time be brought against me- After re-
celvlng six hours notice. agree to
appear before your board at any place
designated, and without counsel present my de-
Tense to any charge or complaint preferred, or
make answer to any reason assigned by any
member Of the board of commissioners why |
should no longer remain on said force; and
should majority of the members of your board
decide that ought to be dismissed or suspended,
agree to voluntarily withdraw or resign from
SAID force"
1t is asserted that Charles J. Morrison will
probably be appointed to take charge of the CITY
Court matters. The duties of the position are
much the same as those which now devolye upon
the city marshal Mr. Morrison is brother-in-
law to Mr.. Murphy, one of the commissioners,
and he Is strongly objected to by the friends of
the other candidates.

The Evansville Police "reminiscences,

State Secretary Myers and Treasurer Cooper re-
turned yesterday from Evansville knowing less,
as they aver, about who would be acceptable
men for police commissioners of that city than
before they made the visit. They were besieged
from the hour of their arrival in Evansville until
the minute of their departure by politicians and
candidates, urging the appointment of Mr.
Myman or Mr. SOmeotherman, until from among
the bewildering jumble of names they
couldn't pronounce one without get
ting it mixed with syllable OF
some other mans name. Candidates were
urged chiefly upon their political claims to rec
ognltion, and when the suggestion was made in
all the innocence of Jim Rice's heart, that the
State officers were not seeking politicians for
