THE POLICE.
Shall the City Have a Force Composed OF
Honest and Efficient Men?

Shall the City Have n Force Composed OF
Honest and Efficient Men?
EDS. REcoRD-UNIoN On next Monday
the Board of Police Commissioners are to
decide who shall be members of the police
force of the city for the next twelve
months. The number of applications is
sufficient so that from among them il
would be possible for the Commissioners to
select force of thoroughly trustworthy
and capable men. Will this be done, or
will such political workers as have had
places on the force during the past year be
selected? The question is one in which
every citizen. rich or poor, has an interest
1t is well known that Chief of Police Lee
is in favor of radical measures of reform,
and that he will vote for the best men.
Will the other Commissioners assist and
sustain him in his desire to furnish the
most efficient service possible in the
department under his charge? If
the other Commissioners in good
faith desire to provide the CITY
with an efficient police force they will
be influenced largely by the wishes of Chief
Lee, for the reason that the force after
selection is to be under his direction and
control. l do not wish it to be understood
as saying that Messrs. Gregory and Buckley
should acquiesce in the selection by Lee of
Democratic force. mean that it would
be a move in the right direction for them
to permit the Chief to influence them
largely in the selections from among the
Republican applicants.
As to the propriety of retaining many of
the present force just look at their conduct
on election day. Three good officers were
detained at the station house, and could
render no service. Some seventeen arrests
were made on that day, at and around the
polling places, for illegal voting and other
offenses. These arrests were made by
special officers, Deputy Sheriffs and citi-
zens. | think l am right in sG.
ing that the record of work by
the regular force on election day was the
arrest of one man for disturbing the peace
That the arrests made were proper is con.
clusively shown by the unprecedented
number of convictions for illegal voting
which have followed. These arrests ought
to have been made by the regular police
men-it being part Of an officers sworn
duty to make arrests when the offense is
committed in his presence. What was the
fact? The regular policeman on duty at
the First Precinct stood and stared at the
sky whenever called upon to make an ar
rest. | am informed that in some other
precincts the same inactivity was displayed
by the regulars, while in the Second Pre-
cinct still worse course was pursued-a
regular policeman on duty there interfering
and rescuing from arrest an illegal voter
who had been placed under arrest by
Deputy Sheriff. Citizens are looking for
ward with more than usual anxiety to the
result of the action of the Board. What
say you, gentlemen? Shall we have the
best men selected? CITIZEN.

Knocking Satan Ont.

The attendance at the Seventh-street NJ
E. Church last evening to hear the famous
evangelist, Rev. Harmon, was quite large !;
in fact number who came late could not
find standing room. A lack of space this
morning forbids giving synopsis of his
sermon, which was interesting and deci-
dedly original. Mr.. Harmon copies after
no one, and he gives Satan regular John l..
Sullivan ticks. He must be seen and heard
to be appreciated. He breaches again to-
night

On Sunday afternoon as Chinaman was
passing the Grammar School building at
Sixteenth and streets, boy about fifteen
