BRUTALITY IN UNIFORM

John Smith, sailor, died In the Elizabeth
Street Police Station on Wednesday night,
from injuries received either at the hands of
the policeman who arrested him for drunken
ness, or caused by fall on the pavement.
The policeman declares that the fall was the
cause Of death. This is not the first case OF
the kind. 1t shows, as has often appeared
before, how completely the safety, even the
life, of a citizen, is at times in the hands of a
police officer, and it. makes plain how great
an advantage the man with a club has over
his prlsoaer. He may knock his victim down
and break his skull, and may then drag him
to the station, prefer charge OF drunkenness
and disorder, explain the grossest brutality
against his prisoner on the plea that no was
attacked by his victim, and there is none to
gainsay all this-unless by mere chance trust
worthy witnesses come forward to prove the
falsty of the officers charges
One who has attended police trials is aware
that policemen sustain each others testimony
in remarkable way. and many witness has
been astounded at hearing the evidence which

FPEIGHT POOLS AND RATES

Public opinion is much divided in regard to
railway pools. Manage and stockholders
generally look upon these cOmpacts with favor,
since they tend TO restrain competition and TO
secure better profits on the capital invested.
part of the shippers and merchants, also,
consider the pooling arrangements beneficial,
ON the ground that they tend to secure greater
steadiness in rates and to prevent excessive
tayoritism to individuals On the other hand,
many shippers and merchants object to the
system most strongly, because it involves at
times diversion of fire. ght from the routes
over which shippers or cOnsignees wish it to
60 The only pooling arrangement that has
been found even measurably effective, after
many trials, is one based upon a compact that
the freight to be transported between competing
points shall be allotted to the competing roads
according to stipulated percentage. This
necessarily involves, at times, an equalization
of traffic by the commissioner managing the
pool-a transfer of freight offered TO one road
that has exceeded Its percentage to another
that has fallen below its percentage. But this
diversion of freight is regarded by many ship
pers as violation Of their rights.
recent case arising at Chicago threatened
to subject the pooling arrangement to the
test OF litigation. A Boston sugar refining
company, having quantities of sugar to send
from Chicago to points on tho Rock Island
road, learned that the Southwestern Pool ha
ordered the freight transferred to another line
the Rock Island having exceeded its percentage.
Instead of grumbling but submitting. as most
shippers do, the Boston company applied for
and obtained temporary injunction, restraining
the commiss Oner from requiring she freight TO
be transferred to any other railroad than the one
to which it had been intrusted. In the appica-
ton they claimed that the Rock Island Railroad,
being q common carrier, WIS bound to trans
port itself all freight offered to it with proper
payment, and that it could not escape this
obligation by any private compact with other
companies; that it was the right of the shipper
to insist that his freight should be taken over
the line preferred by him, and that no pool
or comm sioner could legally interfere with
the exercise of that right. At first 1t was
supposed that the case would 20 pressed to
final decision, and the result was anticipated
with much interest, it would determine
whether the pooling compacts could be legally
sustained and enforced But the pool associ-
alton, after brief consideration, decided not to
resist the demands OF the shipper in this
instance, and allowed the freight to be trans

The first of the September transforms
which set in late yesterday evening, will
find a hearty welcome. August has been dry
month, and springs and wells i'll many places
have run out. In Eastern New-EngIand the
drouth seems to have been unusually severe,
and late dispatches represent the farmers
there as forced to feed their stock upon winter
hay. The storm, which comes from the north
west, does not, unfortunately, promise to be a
heavy one, but it seems to extend over a
large territory.

The Boards of Education of New York and
Brooklyn have not been idle while the thou
sands OF children under their care have been en-
Toying holiday. Nearly million dollars
have been spent during the summer in new
buildings repairs, etc. The boys and girls who

good deal of fresh paint and kals0mine in the
familiar school-rooms. 1t is to be hoped that
the changes and improvements will have a
beneficial effect upon the health of the pupils.
Opinions differ as to the virtue of rim ging
church bells in cities Opposite views from two
well-known citizens are given in another col
umn. There can be no doubt that bel-ringing
at times is annoying to sick and nervous
persons and it will hardly be claimed now
that bells are necessary TO call the people
together for worship. At the same time the
sound OF changing bells is found by many to be
far from unpleasant. The Board of Health
will soon be called ON to decide the question
whether the ringing of church bells is q nuis
ance that deserves suppression. The subject is
not wholly tree from difficulties, as where, for
instance. in Catholic churches the tOlling of q
bell at the elevation of the Host for the
benefit of absent members of the congregation
is practically part of the service. Possibly If
New-York possessed single peal of bells
which could be rung-not chimed-by trained
men, the objections to the monotonous church.

Close on the heels of the news of the
heavy loss Of life by the storms
OF Newfoundland comes rumor that
the French steamer Amerique has foun-
dered while on the way from Havre to New
York Yet the friends of the passengers need
not be alarmed. For, so far as the dispatches
indicate. the rumor is only an inference from
tho fact that violent gale ragged off the
English coast on Saturday night and yester-
DAY, causing many wrecks and considerable
ioss of life. Then, too, the report might
easily have arisen from the knowledge that
