THE ST. Louis Post-Dispatch very properly
and discriminatory praises the manliness
of Cincinnati in refusing to accept any re-
lief funds or other assistance from outside.
The relief committee has given notice that
the people of Cincinnati must care for their
own distress, and that all outside contribu-
tons must be sacredly preserved for other
stricken communities less able to aid them
selves. The Dispatch we'll says: This course
is in striking contrast with the usual Gus
tom in other cities and especially in the
mailer burgs, in which, upon the appear
ince of any sensational calamity, the mayor
usually expands with an attack of the big
head, the leading citizens organize themselves
INTO amateur committees, and the tele
graph is used TO send frantic appeals for aid"
The money now being raised from private
lources and the appropriations being made
rom the State treasury must be given only

to those most needing it, whose necessities

stitution of the State, and not only without
authority to involve the city in debt, but
even to pay out any money thereof when

pirate money for any purpose whatever was
the prerogative alone of the Common Coun-
Gill; who were elected by the citizens and re-

bereayed fathers and mothers who remember
sons, and widows who recollect husbands, to
expect quiet acquiscence in the political

nounced Abraham Lincoln, the leader of the
Union armies, as vile buffoon and vulgar
joker, and applaude6 his assassination.

THE METROPOLITAN POLICE BILL

Assuming that the dominant faction in
the Legislature will make use of the party
lash to pass the metropolitan police bill, the
question arises: Is it constitutional? The
News would have US believe that 'police
powers are inherent in the State, not in a
as matter of convenience, and not of prin-
ciple. The State may at any time withdraw
from its creatures police or other powers
which it has delegated TO them"
In matters of special legislation-police
powers and the like-the constitutions of Il
linois and of Indiana are practically ident-
ical. A few years ago the Legislature
of the former State passed a
metropolitan police bill for the govern
ment of East st. Louis. That city, at
the time, was not only overwhelmingly DEM
ocratic, but was run by as corrupt and I'M
scrupulous set of scalawags as ever went
unwhipped of justice Its police were known
to be men ION the make" of brutal instincts,
in complete subserviency to the ring, and
UNANIMOUSLY cruel to all the helpless that fell
into their clutches. They were a terror to
all law-abidng citizens, and made the place
nent deserved to be stripped of ali authority
over the lives and property OF its citizens
and be governed BY the State alone, it was
East ST. Louis And yet, the metropolitan
police bill in that State, Republican meas
ure, and framed in the interest of honesty
and humanity, was condemned by Republi-
cans and Democrats alike of the place and of
the State 1t was deemed that the violation
thereby of local self-goyernment was a far
greater outrage upon the rights of the citi-
zens than the rapacity of the city ring and
the cruelty of its police. Upheld by such a
sentiment, the Common Council again and
again refused to appropriate one cent for the
pay of the metropolitan police. The law
was then so amended by subsequent Legis-
lature as to authorize the commissioners to
issue bonds in behalf of the city to meet all
their expenses. These bonds were frequently
sold at auction, bringing only few cents on
the dollar of their face value. A gentleman
of our acquaintance in this city once held
several thousand dollars worth of them,
which he had to take for a paltry debt, and
which he was afterward glad to dispose of
for less than the debt. After interminable
suits in the various courts, involving
vast expenditure, the Supreme Court of
the State finally adjudged the law uncon-

A pRnrRAcrEn DEMAND.

The generous public must bear in mind
that the demand upon them in aid of the
people of the flooded districts will be asteady
one for at least several weeks to come. With
thousands of workmen driven from employ
ment by high waters, and tens of thousands of
those dependent upon them deprived of all the
necessaries of life, the needs are enormous,
and must con tnue SO for some time. The gen.
erous response already made to the appeal for
aid is creditabe to all who have shared in
the duty of relieving the immediate wants OF
the distressed The work has been nobly be-
gun, but now it must be maintain The
suffering and deprivation that follow the
first inconvenience will be as genuine and
as much entitled to relief as they are now.

and polished and fabricated. The water
soaked walls must have time to dry out, and
the mills and factories that were wrecked
must be rebuilt. An army of people will
have to be maintained with military prompt
itude and without the aid of military au-
thority for collecting supplies. Provision
trains must be formed, filled and for
warded wholly by a volunteer corps. The
work should not be too vigorous to sustain
itself so long as the extraordinary demand
shall continue. Let each one give freely, but
in such a way that the gift can be renewed
again and again if necessary. By all uniting
as one in this work it will be done well, and
in manner that will be burdensome upon
no one. Help should come from bank and
brewery, from courthouse, office, shop mill,
workshop and private home. The children
can help with their little stores. The need
is imperative; the duty of relieving it uni
versal. The spontaneity with which the
whole people have undertaken the work OF
helping the unfortunate is grand; and now,
if it be only well sustained until the need is
past, the credit will not be wanting.
