While the Register was in this fine frenzy
The Senator's were working for the APP

not pulled with them in hepaIty coun-

TaE Chief Of Police Is too obliging. The
editor Of the lSrgLlidEScER will not swear
out any warrants against keepers Of gamb-
ling bells for the Chief to have served.
There are suudry reasons why this course
will not be pursued. There Is no guaran-
tee that the gamblers wonld not know Of
tho warrants within fifteen minutes after
they were sworn out-as they know Of
the conversations which the Mayor has
with the Chief Of Police. The editor
Oithe lSTELLlorScRR is not under oath
and pay as Chief Of Police Of the City Of
Wheeling, and he may decline to do police
duty without inviting the contempt ofthe
community and loading himself with
perjury. The Chief Of Police knows
where the gambling dens are, aud he
knows tie men who conduct them. He
knows how to raid such establishments.
During his former term he came near es.
tablishing a reputation as an expert. !
What's the matter now2 Is be under
bonds to these maleiaetors to let themply
ther unlawful and iniquitous trade? If'hs
isu't why hasn't he moved on them? He
has been six weeks ia office. The Mayor
has urged him, and the Mayor might as
well have talked to q stone wall. Thelaw
has never been deaed more boldly than
since Mr.. Porter Smith has been at the
head Of the police force.
Tho Chiefs defense Is no defense.
Does he wait iora citizen to come along
aud swear out a warrant before he raids q
house Of prostitutiouf Does lie intend TO
letthG gambling bells run riot unless cth-
tens close them up3 II that is his idea
he would better resign aud let citizens
manage the police force by voluntary
committee Of public safety.
Mr.. Smith doesn't like the ISrRlr4aEs-
cER's pointed questions. The ISrgEuaEs-
CIR doesn't like his obstinate refusal to
perform his sworn duty and purge the city
Of a moral pestilence. II Srr. Smith in.
