DO Mithont the Police.

Since it can no longer deny the shortcom-
ings and disgraceful inefficiency Of the pres
ent police force, the Mayors personal organ
now attempts TO place the responsibility for
the numerous robberies in this city upon the
unfortunate victims, and viciously scolds
them for not lying In wait night after night
and blowing the stealthy burglars to "king-
''dom come" the instant they set foot upon
their premises. These citizens, says this
hide-bound apologst for the incompetent
Hmodels," have not shown a sufficient "de-
"gree of courage aud activity in backing up
'the officers of the law. The example of a
" single thief shot down in the act is worth
"more than all the care and watchfulness
"of an army of police officers. Back of all
laws and authority must exist popular
belief that every citizen will defend his
"own rights. The thief has ten-fold more
I" fear of the man he is going to rob than OF
all the police of city"
A more impudent and inLulting PROPOSE
tion was never deliberately made to
the tax payers of this city than is
contained In the above quotation.
Because the city is at present provided with
q set Of miserably incompetent policemen,
the people are coolly Informed that they
must look to their own protection, while the
men duly appointed for this purpose regu-
larly draw pay for duties they fail to per
form. OF course there is not man In
the city who will not defend his
house to the extent of his ability against the
assaults Of midnight marauders, but all
will decidedly object to being compelled to
do police duty at nights in order to insure
personal safety aud the protection of their
property. This is the main object of a
police force In large city, and the idea that
citizens must relieve the police from this
responsibility is preposterous and absurd.
When it comes to PASS that the people OF
Wilmington must work out their own saliva
tion in dealing with the numerous thieves
that now infest this locality, the next thing
in order is to dispense with the police force
entirely. 1t is perfect folly for the
ax-payers to spend twenty or twenty
five thousand dollars per year for police
protection, only to be informed that the
most important part of this protection they
must furnish themselves. As mere orna
ment police force is not at all necessary ol
desirable, and if the people are to be theil
own policemen let us clear the 'tmodels'
out, without delay.

1T IS REALLY amusing to see the eager
ness with which the .Hornijtg NeWs favors
the proposed Park Commission, while it
looks upon the idea of Police and Water
Commissions with holy horror. To the
Park Commission We have not the slightest
objection 10 offer, yet it contains all the
obnoxious features against governments by
commissions that have been urged against
the other measures. The fact that
a majority of the Park Commis-
sioners named in the bill are Repub-
licans is doubtless what secures favor
for ii in the eyes Of the As,oS, but this
fact ought not to be sufficient to outweigh
all the invectiyes it has heretofore hurled
against the introduction of commissions
into our form of local government. Even
the fact that vacancies in the Park Com
mission are to be filled by appointment by
the resident Judge Of the Superior Court is
not looked upon as an usurpation of the
rights OF the people, whereas the mere sug-
gestion of appointing the other Commissions
in the same manner as the Park Commission
has been appointed has been denounced in
the strongest terms. As far as We have been
able to learn the other commission bills
provide for the filling of vacancies by the
City Council thus bringing the matter en-.
tirely within the control Of the people We
see no more reason for Park Commission
than for the others, but no one can deny
that the present condition of our loca
government makes all three absolute ncces
sities. No citizen wants to see matters like
the establishment Of a park or the improve
ment OF our water works left with City
Council, while the police department war
rants any kind of change calculated tC
institute a reform and insure reasonable
degree OF protection to the people.
