THERE is vast difference between the ac-
ton of the metropolitan police on the
Fourth and the alleged non-action OF former
police boards upon similar occasions. The
Journal has hitherto expressed its opinion
plainly upon the want of enforcement of the
law against liquor saloons by the police au-
thority OF the city, and we have said public
ly and repeatedly, what everyone knew to be
that made the passage of the metropolitan
police bill possible ard rendered it at all
tolerable to the great body of the people
OF the city. But in this instance, according
to the statement or confession of Superin-
tendent Robbins, he gave instructions to
the policemen to notify saloon-keepers
that they need not obey the law of
the State, and he pleads that he
had the authority of two of the commission
ers for this official action. We quote from
the News OF last evening:
Superintendent Robbins said to-day he
did not wish to plead the baby act in the
matter; that he knew, and the board knew,
what the law was, but that he and two MEM
bers of the board thought, considering the
fourth of July only came once year, it
would be all right to ease up on the boys a
little. He said he had given the saloon men
TO understand that, SO long as they kept
order in their saloons and did not sell to
drunken men they would not be interfered
with, He said the mayor concurred in this
view. He also said he was not aware that
any trouble, specially had followed as a con-
sequence of the leniency."
1t is not leniency, Mr.. Superintendent, but
it is an official violation of the law and an
official violation of the oath of office by your
self and the two commissioners. 1t is not a
question whether any trouble specially re-
suited" or not. That trouble did not result is
no credit to Mr.. Robbins or to the two COM
missioners. The law was violated-violated
by authority, and as we said yesterday, if
this sort of thing is to be tolerated
there is no telling where it is to
stop. The metropolitan police system was
at least fairly received by the general public,
who hoped there might be a better enforce
ment of the law than there had been but we
submit that never in the history of Indian
apolis has there been so fragrant an instance
of defiance of the laws as this by the men
who have been solemnly sworn to make it
their special business to see to its enforce
ment

another from Chicago to New Orleans. The

they are to be roads for the farmers and that

THE indiscriminate abuse of railroad cor
porations ought to cease long enough at least
to afford an opportunity of giving credit for
the good things done by them. In the cause
of practical temperance work the manage
ment of railroads have taken the lead by ex-
Guiding from their service the drinking
classes, thus putting such tangible pre-
MUM upon sobriety as to have an immedi-
ate and extended influence in the right direc-
ton. The day is coming when drunkenness
will be complete bar to employment in all
honorable pursuits. 1t is so now in many
fields of labor, and the tendency is becoming
general; when ii does, much will have
been accomplished in the disposal of the
liquor question. Another wholesome meas
ure in which certain railroad officials have
taken prominent part and especially Presi-
dent Young is the discontinuance of unnec-
essary Sunday trains and thus allowing their
men the needed rest of one day out of seven.
These good works, among Others, will be ap-
preciated more fully in time, and will go a
long way in mitigation OF the abuses prac-
tised in other directions by these corpora
