The discussion that was TO be expected has
promptly begun about the new uniforms for the
District police. on the one hand are those who
favored the change, AMI who believe that police
men should look natty and soldierly when on duty,
have as much "set-up" As pcssibic, ahd sacrifice
some comfort, II necessary, TO heatness. on the
other hand are those Who think that comfort and
health are nrst TO be considered In clothing: that
the policeman In full.bodied, flowing coat, with
broad-brlmmed hat, felt In winter straw In summer,
looks and feels more important parsonage than II
reduced to the sembance OF private In the Infantry
These two forces OF opinion have always been at
work and have produced curious fluctuations In the
police uniforms, from hats to helmets and back
again, from belts to no BELTS and on. As matter
Of fact the present force, largely through the opera
tion OF the absurd requirement OF previous service
In the Army or Navy, has come to average rather
elderly, and In advancing years men neither look
nor feel at their best in the snug fitting garments
proper to youth and maturity. The change seems
TO have come TO stay for the present, and II Il in.
rectly tends to weed out tho feeble or pufsy mem.

the highest efficiency In the few police allowed to

OF white gloves and rattan canes, they seem Of
small Importance, so long as policemen are so sel-
dom seen In the landscape and are 30 welcome
when they are seen. The helmet ia the most dubi-
ous part Of the change, but It Ia tho rape lust
now among the military furnlshers OF the world IL is

The fullest credit should certainly be
given TO General Miles and Captain Lawton
Tor their admirable work in the capture Of
the renegade Apaches. which had come to be
considered almost an impossible feat. II Is
also said that the planning and previous
efforts OF General Crook had their part in
the final result. The question which re-
mains is the disposition to be made OF the
captives, especially the leader, Geronimo ;
and this should not be settled hastily. The
Government cannot afford TO treat the In-
dians on the plane of their own savagery.
In that case Mr.. Gercnimo would be tied TO
a blazing stake, while the soldiers would
shoot arrows and throw hatchets at him as
long as he lasted. Civilization demands that
we set the indians better example than
their own. Even the hanging of Geronimo
by due process Of law may be iueSpedient
under all the circumstances, His surrender,
like that Of Chief Joseph previously, seems
to have been encouraged by the confidence
felt by the Indians in General Miles, that he
will secure them favorable and humane
treatment. To impair this reputation Of the
next commander Of our little Army may
have bad results in other Indian difficulties.
On the other hand, IL may appear best TO
make an example Of Geronimo, as was done
with the Modocs, and there is no doubt that
he has richly deserved this fate. II the de-
cision rests with President Cleveland II will

against each other, and what they care least
for in all the varied interests at stake is the
welfare Of the people Of Bulgaria. In fact,
they had much rather establish the doctrine
that the Bulgsrians are not TO be consulted
at all as to their fate, because this would be

the three emperors in their own doninions.
