OyArIoNs To CRIMINALS.

The manner in which the American peo
pie behave toward many Of their criminals
is something very peculiar and hard to IN
derstand. Indeed, it often seems that the
surest way Tor man to gain distinction
and enshIins himself in the hearts of the
people, is for him to murder, 10 cold blood,
one of his fellows or commit some other
heinous crime. The return of maxwell,
the murderer of PRELLEs, at St. Louis, tut
nishes 9 good example Of the hundreds Of
instances ofthis characteristic that might be
cited. Though under arrest for murder the
most terrible, YET his return made a real
gala day for the city and thousands Of peo-
pie thronged the streets and loudly cheered

ed one of the triumphal march Of some VIC

ONE OF wHEELING's NEEDS


1t is a fact that needs no demonstration
that though the good citizens Of commu-
Rity may greatly prepOnderate over the bad,
the community, if corruptly governed, is in
q state of Generalization. Though the
great majority WHO would be lsW-abidlng
under any circumstances may be no worse
citizens for being lily governed, the crimi-
nal classes and the hcentious, when aware
of looseness in the laws administration,
lose no time in taking advantage Of
it or IN pushing the relaxation to its full
extent and further sncroaehing on order
and decency.
This fact is not applicable those highest
in authority in Wheeling, to those who
make the laws nor to the officials who sd-
minister justice, but to the officers whose
duty it is to unfortunately execute the laws
letter-the Police.
The corruption in this branch Of the
city's government has been for years an
open core on the community. That it
should be probed to the bottom and the
fostering mass cut out, is demanded 6y all
decent citizens who take pride in keeping
the name Of their city Spo.lesS, and who
fear, with every reason, the spread Of this
ugly smirch.
This is no matter of party dispute. 1t
has existed equally under all sdministra-
tons in the past and all voters have the
same incentive for demanding reorgsniza-
ton of the Police force as they have in
maintaining efficiency in their business or
purity in their domestic affairs.
1t is the simple duty of Council as guar
dams of the city's welfare to sfsctsninVes-
tigstion. They can do no less and retain
confidence. Very recent exposures have
been made, and q straight and definite path
is pointed out to them. 1t is the duty Of
the Chief Of Police to aid in eFscting
an investigation. II is due to himself as
public servant and as q citizen to root out
the abuses Of the department eon6ded By
the city to his care and msgement. His
record otherwise will not bear scanning.
Charges have been made and their non
refutation will stand, in effect before the
public as substsntiating them.
The authorities concerned can not afford
to adopt hallway measures. The city de-
mands thorough publication of its Police
force and awaits the action Of the Chief and
Council
