Bob Cramer, of Penn Yam, MY, is

The police captains threaten to give us a
novel kind of a strike. They are going to
strike against receiving their pay. 1t isn't
because they have come to realizing sense
that their sinecures do not give them oppor-
tunity to earn anything, but because they
are afraid their warrants won't be drawn
for the amount they have made up their
minds they would like to have. Having
given notice of their demand through the
journal, they very kindly proceed, with the
aid of a complaisant reporter, to point out
the source from which the Police Board can
make up the deficiency. 'sThere will be
balance left from the salary account, they
say, (which will have to be turned into the
sinking fund if not used" to pay them the
additional So per month demanded by them.
They have taken their 81, 800 Per year here
tofore under compulson, they assure the
public, though they do not venture to say
what the nature of the compulsion was.
They will scarcely be timorous enough to
explain that their holding on to their sine
cures was the result of eompulsion. Just
threaten to turn one of them out and
wouldn't they pull and haul and button
hole and marshal their influences" to keep
themselves in. 1t is plain they don't mean
they were compelled" to take 81, $3.50, when
they were conscious of having earned only
$500 for, its for more they intend to strike
The charter, they say, fixes their pay at 81, 500
and they want the whole of it. So long as
they were the servants of the Police Board
they took what their masters offered them,
and it may be stated that they would prob
bly, have taken good deal less without re-
signing. Now, however, that the life TEN
ure bill has made 'em bigger'n their bosses,
they propose to enforce their full pound of
flesh. The compulsion is on the other leg
If the Board chooses to resent this little
piece of extortion it will find that it is still
master of its servants. Having entered
upon the service on compromise basis of
81, $3.50, the life tenure bill doesn't put them
in position to demand any more 1t merely
enacts that the Board can't remove them
SO long as they are willing to behave them
selves and attend to the business for 81, 800
per year. They were legislated in on the
$3.50 basis. If they refuse to receive their
monthly warrants at that rate, why let the
warrants be turned into the sinking fund.
They'll come to their stumps quickly
enough. No end of good things we're
promised us as the result of the life tenure
bill. This petty little strike is the first
outcome of it.

SUNDAY. MAY 8. 1885.
The scheme OF the sunday Tattler.

The SUNDAY TATTLER is so widely rea d
nowadays that il seems unnecessary to
state its scheme. But we want it under
stood that, though it is published only On
Sunday mornings, it is not a aoeeEly paper in
any sense of the term. A weekly gathers
up the news of the week, whether it has
been published or not. The purpose of
the SUNDAY TATTLER is not, as every one
who reads it must know by this time, to
rehash the doings of the week, but only to
present the latest and fullest local news.
We take it for granted that the people of
this community do not desire to read again
in these columns the stories they have
already read in the local papers. and we
are SO careful to avoid repeating what the
other papers have already had that we have
not heretofore published the Saturdays
news that has found its way into the Satur-
day afternoon local newspapers. Our de-
sign has been to make the TATTLER just
what Sunday morning Journal or Argus
would be if either published Sunday
morning edition. Only we make up ten
times better sheet than either of them
knows how to make. Our Sunday morning
paper is a supplement to the daily local
prints-a daily paper that fills the Sunday
morning gap. The TATrLER begins to
scour the county for news on Saturday
afternoon, and keeps up its yigils till one
o'clock Sunday morning. Besides the
latest and fullest local news. we are sup
piled with the latest telegraphic news, and
are in every respect as complete Sunday
morning newspaper as either of the great
metropolitan newspapers printed across
the river. It sometimes happens that we
ssbeat" the New York morning papers on
their own stamping ground. The convic-
ton of Bank President Fish, in New York,
was reported in the SUNDAY TATTLER two
weeks ago. With the exception of the
New York Times, the New York papers
gave that fact to their readers on the Mon
day morning following. Those who have
read this paper know that never Sunday
passes that we do not beat the daily local
papers on matters of iterest happening dur
ing heweek. In addition to this complete
and thorough Sunday morning news ser
yice,we give special attention to all society,
sporting, social and church news; and we
ask our readers to send us as many notices
of the kind as possible.

that he will make one of the best Presi-

been what it should be, but with Commits
sioner Brennan in the Chair the one man
power has died.
According to all accounts the Buffalo"
system in this city is failure At meal
hours there are only two permanent men
in each house, and If an alarm Of fire
should come in during these hours these
two men have to hitch up, open the doors

works all right, but if we have few fires,
and the apparatus fails to arrive in time
