LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
THE HEAD DIDN'T FIT.

10 me EtNOr.
In your paper of January 5th, under the
heading Look To The Station Keepers" |
am unable TO connect the body of this article
with the heading; though thoroughly con-
versant with police regulation. Neither am
able to devino who the writer means by the
station kcepcr-whother it be clerk or Lieu
tenant. lie says; "The manner in which
the stations are kept is in itself an evidence
of evil sufficient to warrcnt the suspension of
every man in charge of them" A bold inu-
endo What is wrong2 Where is the diff
Guilty?
AS there are but three departmental heads
III astation, the Janitor Clerk and Lieuten-
ant. Who, If not all are blameless the Jane
tor and Clerk must be as they arc immedi-
ately subordinate to the Lieutenant; thus
constituting him as the executive the respon-
siblc party. He can answer for himself The
Janitor of our precinct (Banks) has nothing
TO fear, so that the secrecy of the clerk, seems
TO be the Jug bear for which the whole pre-
cinct in the writers view should be suspended.
Wholesale work indeed because forsoOth. q
reporter of such matter was not gratifed in
every unreasonable demand over six inches
of column space devoted to an article that has
no direct connection with the heading ex-
ccpt in one sentence; but on the contrary, =
tutorage dissertation to the commissioners
chart for their future guidance. In language
thus; The commissioners must go on &c.n
Let the rogues be ailroadcd TO the penetcn-
tiary. This uncouth smarty was certainly
while writing, in an imperative mood.
The station and its workings are open to
any citizen who has business with u.s. The
Clerks business is simply Clericlc, and to obey
his stlpcriour the Lieutenant in Charge oh
for a general earthquake in all callings and
business! Let the purging process get gem
eral foothold There are good and better po.
lice-mcn as there are better and best of all
other agencies. Let us have purity and pro.
bity. ! only answer for the sixth Precinct.

THE CATTLE COMMISSION AND HoBBYrsM.
10 he EdRor


SIR: My attention has been called to m cd
itorial mention of the report of the treasury
cattle commission which appeared in THE Re-
PUBLICAN of Jan. q, in, which, after n COM
plimcntary mention, it Is stated that the re-
port is notable as an evidence of a slight tend
Gncy to hObbyism, rs we'll as unmistakable
thoroughnCss and familiarity with an I'M
portant question" Undoubtedly what is re-
gardcd as I" tendency to hObbyism by YOU
is the estimate placed upon the the annual
present and prospective losses by the lung
plague To ascertain just how much of hob.
byism there is about this estimate, please call
upon the secretary of the treasury and asccr-
tain how many cattle were exported from the
United States to Great Britain during the
past year, aud also during the year before the
present restrictions were placed upon this
traffic by the British authorities. Multiply
the average number by $50, which is the
lowest estimate per head that any intelli-
gent shipper will place upon the reduction
in value of our export cattle on account of
these restrictions, and you will see how
much of hObbyism. there is in the commits.
sion estimate of direct losses from this source
alone, TO say nothing of the decline in the
business caused by these restrictions, the
losses by death annually caused by the pres
cnce of the lung plague in the United States,
&c. Then, if you will apply the per cent, of
losses actually sustained by death from the
infection of the herds on the unfonced ranges
of Australia and South Africa, or even among
the inclOscd herds of the islands of Great
Britain to our own cattle, you can ascertain
just how much of hobbyism there is in the
commissions estimate of the prospective
losse' to the people of the United States
should the disease involve our western states
and territories. A reference to the two reports
of the commission will enable you to make this
estimate and test the hobbyisln of the com.
have the honor to be yours truly,

may judge of its merits. Truly yours,
