The able metropolitans narrowly escaped kill
ing an innocent colored man yesterday morn
ing, who was running from them, installing
them for foot-pads. 1t was only miracle or
bad Workmanship that averted another police
murder. The killing of men running away,
even if they have committed some slight mis-
demeanor and are attempting to escape ar
rest, is an infamous outrage and crime that
should be punished. No policeman has the
right to shoot at man, unless in case of alb
solute self-defense, or to prevent the escape
of convicted felon or one taken in the act
of grave crime. The police killings In
Indianapolis have been disgrace to the force,
and should have led, ere this, to strict Judicial
inquiry and some of them to severe punish

THE Sentinel assured its readers yesterday
that that issue contained an extraordinary
amount Of political information;" but all the
most careful search disclosed was an account
of the Democratic quarrels in four congress
sional districts. Certainly there is nothing
extraordinary about Democratic quarrels in

ticular Why doesn't the Sentinel turn it's
attention to the quarrels among the statesmen

built which will. with its branches, reach all ime

will be the joint enterprise of the Canadian Pa.

secure in the East a valuable connection with

Pacific railway will shortly have their tracks
laid through northern Maine to reach the Nova
Scotia coast, intending to connect with line OF

BY this route it is expected passengers can be
landed at Vancouvers as quickly as otherwise
they would reach Chicago.

replaced the extraordinary sobrety of a month

when saloons all opened and teams rumbed
across the State line to private store houses to
replenish the rapidly diminishing supply in
Rhode Island. The now law is gigantic hum
bug, and it is generally understood that 1t means
prohibition for politics only If local chiefs of
police take out search warrants it must be as
private citizens and they must give security for
the costs. 1t is thought convictions in State
courts will hereafter only be secured on positive
proof of sale, that the article sold has actually
had the effect of intoxicating and that the sale
was made for its use as beverage. Prominent
