II THE police fund is maintained ~
the only source Of supply to meet po-
Zee expense, It will grow TO be to the in
terest Of policemen not TO prevent viola
ton Of law, but 70 encourage It. We are
ali poor human creatures, and II mans
bread and meat depend on fines he is
more than human II he act so as to d.
minish them. To the credit Of
the Fort Worth policemen It
must be said that they seek
to maintain order and preserve the peace,
even though their own rations are
shortened thereby. But If discounts
grow and good men leave the force be-
cause they can't live on the reduced pay,
what viii the city do? Employ mercenaries
who will toment strife and encourage
lawlessuess in order that the fines may be
increased? The city law needs revision.

required Of II, OF filling all the military
posts In the Indian country and protect
ing the settlers against savages whenever
an outbreak occurs, such as the late
Apache rising. Nobody will consent to
enlsrging the army, with its increase Of
expenses, and there is no hope that con-
gress will venture 70 incur this additional
cost. How TO provide protection for the
settlers without increasing the army, at
great expense, is problem No.. 2.
Why NOT let the two problems solve
each other? Send the conyicts to the army
for term Of years. They win make
good lighters, aud the regular force Of
recruits win be strong enough to keep
them in order. Away out on the frontier
they will not have many opportunities for
deyilment. II the Indians kill few of
them the country will be well served, and
il they kill the Indians 1t will be better
served. The cost Of keeping them will
not be greater in the army than in the
penitentiaries. OF course, as the states
now pay the cost OF Keeping up their con
victs, while the federal government pays
the cost OF sustaining the army, it will
increase the expenses of the general gov
eminent in the same ratio as it decreases
the expenses Of the states governments.
The country cannot find fault with this,
as 1t merely transfers, without adding
anything to the necessary expenses Of
the people, from the state to the national
treasures. As the people pay the taxes
to run both, it matters nothing to them
whom they pay these taxes TO.
Isn't this a complete solution! Nobody
can object to t--except the convicts and
the Indians. The workingmen will be sat
isHed, for they will be saved from com
petition with convict labor; the taxpayer
will be satisfied, for they will have put
the army on a necessary footing without
any additional cost; and the army officers
and the frontier settlers will be happy,
because they will have what they wan
in strong army. As for the convicts
and Indians, if they have any fault to find
with 1t we would like to hear from them.

Commodore Truxton, commandant OF
the United States navy yard at Norfolk,
Va, is TO be investigated. He caused the
inscriptions on guns captured during the
war to be effaced. These Inscriptions,
commemorating the Union victories, were
often very offensive in their language
toward the late "rebelsr and the commo-
dore probably thought that there was no
need for the employees in the navy who
served in the Coniederacy to be daily in
suited by them. He made the mistake of
believing that this is a restored Union, in
which the Confoderates who accepted the
results OF the war as final and returned to
their allegiance are TO be treated as loyal
citizens. His error is grievous one,
from the Logan point of view. He should
have thought of the fate of Charles Sum
ner. That statesman, though incompar-
ably the ablest man in the Republican
party, was censured by the legislature Of
his native state and Indignantly reviled
by the Republican press for moving, in
the United States senate, to remove the
Inscriptions on regimental flags commem-
orative of Union victories. The treat
ment he received at home on account of
this patriotic act was so keenly felt that
1t FASTENED his death Commodore Trux-
ton, though animated by the same patrl-
otto desire, cannot escape the penalty that
Sumner suffered. The little souls OF Lo-
gan and men of his stripe viii rage and
demand that he be removed, hut as long
as Mr. Cleveland's backbone holds up as
It has done he will not be disturbed.

DANGER TO an OLD INDUSTRY.

The business of kngcrait is in n very
depressed condition 1t has been in a de-
cline for long time, and only the closest
economy will enable the professional
kings to pull through the hard times. In
Italy the royal household is retrenchlug
expenses and trying to make both ends
meet. King uumbert has become alarmed
at the extravagance OF his queen, whom

berries every day in the year, regardless
OF cost. 1t had to lie stopped, he said, or
he wouldn't be able to find money to buy
cigars for himself and the boys Queen
Margherita told him he was extravagan!
himself, and reform ought to begin at
home. She accused him of giving his old
clothes away TO hangers-on about
the royal household, and said she
thought patched clothes were good
enough for such n king, anyhow. The
proud blood of the monarch boiled ut the
thought OF patched clothes on his noble
person. The queen wouldn't give up her
strawberries \ divorce in high Italian
life might have eusued had not com
promise been effected. uumbert agrees
not to give his csst-off clothes away any
more, but to sell them whenever they get
threadiare, and Margherta promises to
come down to two plates of strawberries
a week, provided they are heaped up.
Now all is serene. The king will hold an
olrclo' auction and sell off his worn-out
habiliments, and turn the cash over to
the queen for strawberry fund.
This is good for royalty whose purse is
getting light, but othe-s are affected in a
different manner, What OF the enter
tainers about the throne who were wont
to invest themselves ia the secondhand
raiment OF roya!tyS Are they to suffer
because the queen must have strawber-
riess Shall they go unclad to crafty the

the other side Of the question. Economy
may be good for Humbert and Mar

gard for the happiness of their people

FoRr WORTH might pay even more for the
Fort Worth y New Orleans railroad than 1t is
worth, or could he made worth to them. We
believe in these things that reason should pre-.
vail, as well as in newspaper expenditure
Waco Examiner.
The same might have been said when
Fort Worth gave nearly all it had on
earth TO secure the first railroad, and
when 1t gave $4,000 to get the Santa Fe
and when 1t paid out ITS very hard cash to
secure all the other advantages that are
pushing 1t to the front. Dallas, no doubt,
agrees with Waco, that Fort Worth would
have been better off without toe Fort

Worth thinks differently, and,as It doesn't
cost Waco anything, Waco might wait and
see the result before crltlclslng the
