NEXT WEEK tho primaries and conven-
tion to select delegates to tho Republican
Convention at Chicago will be held. Much
interest is felt in the result by all citizens.
The fate of suffrage in the District depends
largely on the conduct of the participants
in the contest. If tho primaries are con-
Quoted fairly, and the proceedings of the
convention are orderly and decorous, and
the decision is abided by without wrangling
and grumbling, it will go far to quiet the
fears of many persons who look upon suf-
frage with fear and distrust. A repetition,
even on small scale, of some of tho dis
graceful scenes Of the past will confirm the
fears and fasten the prejudices irrevocably.
There is no Disgusting the fact that many
of our citizens who are in favor of suf-
frage as an abstract principle are too dis
trustful of its consequences to favor it in
the concrete. Much, therefore, depends
upon the action of the sufrragists them
selves next week.

THE Commissioners have vainly, for sew
eral sessions of Congress, endeavored to
have the law repealed which requires the
appointment of members Of the Metropoli-
tan Police Force from discharged U. S. SOL
diers and sailors, but the proposition has
always been voted down by the rural So
Ions, who deemed that they were thereby
currying favor with the soldier element.
Thus the District Commissioners have
been confined to narrow boundary In So
lecting good men for the force, for the law
requires that no man over forty years of
age shall be appointed
The Grand Army Of the Republic has
been especially active in opposing repeal
Of the said law without seeming to think
that they were biting of the nose to spite
tho face, so to speak. In fact, they were
doing the volunteer soldier element no
good, for ninety-nine per cent of that ele-
ment are ineligible, and the law cuts Off
their sons and younger brothers from the
privilege of appointment. Thus, while not
beneftlng the soldier element directly,
they were hurting it very much indirectly,
inasmuch as it cuts Off the sons of veterans
from appointment as above stated.
A law could be so framed as to give the
soldiers the preference, just as is supposed to
be done in the matter of appointments to
clerkships in the Departments, but it will
not do to limit the appointments exclusively
to the soldier clement.
If Congress intends at this session to en-
large the police force in accordance with the
pressing need of q rapidly growing popula-
tion it must, in addition thereto, repeal
this law, which was all we'll enough in its
day, but from lapse of time has now be-
come obsolete. To pass bill for the in
crease ofthe police force without repeating
the said law, or even to permit the law to re-
main on the statute books for a couple OF
years longer, would be the height of pig
headed partisan absurdity, for while of no
benefit to the soldier element it would
cripple the police force still further than it
is already crippled by the employment of
incompetents.
Again, as far as the Grand Army of the
Republic is concerned, the discharged men
Of the U. s. Regular Army who are now
being appointed on the force would not be
received in the ranks of the G. A. r. As a
rule experience has shown that men who Of
late have enlisted in the Regular Army are
either foreigners or worthless natives. Are
these the most fitted for the police force of
the District The efficiency of police
men does not lie simply in uniform, but
in the intelligence and pluck of the man
and particularly in the instructions re-
ceived from his officers.
And, by the way, recruits get precious
little instructions under the present regime,
for the head officers don't know anything
themselves.

CINCINNATI, in her riot, has been reap
ing the legitimate fruits of long season of
lawlessness and wickedness. For years her
citizens and law officers have winled at and,
perhaps, taken pride in this peculiar fea-
ture of life in their "Queen City," Vile
Sunday theatres, low saloons open every
day and night of the year, great beer gar
dens crowning the hills or hidden by brick
blocks, where young girls and women are
taken and openly made drunk resorts of
vice and houses Of prostitution at every
hand, harlots plying their vocation
on every street, corruption at the
ballot-box, which means corrupt men
in office; venal press, carrying
vile stories and details of crime, with all
their dangerous suggestions, into the family
all these tho Queen City has had and
gloried in them. Familiarity with crime
thus semi-legalized has brought as its legit-
innate result failure to punish those who
practice it, until murder, its highest form,
became q common occurrence. In this sud-
den demand for blood and tho punishment
of crime there was only the reaction of
popular sentiment, which, taken advantage
of by that spirit of lawlessness so long
winked at by the authorities, resulted in
that which must forever tarnish the good
name Of one Of our otherwise most honored
cities.
