TILE LONDON POLICE.

| The comments of the New ork police off,
Gals on the Whitechapel crimes are not COM
plimentary to the London detectives. Chc1
Inspector Byrncs remarks that if he were con
Quoting a search for the brutal murderer he
would act on different principles from those
accepted in Scotland Yard. We can well be-
lieve this. The only principles which have
characterized the London method have been
ncapacty and sothfulness. The authorities
have exhausted their energies in formulating
theories respecting the probable form of mania
with which the murderer is possessed. No thor
ouch search of the district where the monster
is probably concealed has been attempted. No
precautions, in any sense adequate, have been
ordered to prevent the recurrence of these
shocking outrages. The murderer has grown
holder every fortnight until his audacity now
enables him to dispatch two victims during a
single night
1t is notorious fact that the worst districts
of London are not regularly patrolled by the
police There are many streets and alleys in
Whitechapel and elsewhere where officers
are never seen on Their beats. When a raid
upon some haunt of vice or the headquarters
of a criminal gang is ordered, the police are
sent in large bodies; but it is not considered
prudent for an officer to 60 unattended through
these plague-spots of outcast London. There
are many dark streets and blind alleys on the
East Side which are never Swallowed by the
figures of policemen on the midnight watch
There are communities of murderers, thieves
and desperadoes which are only watched at a
safe distance by the guardians from Scotland
Yard. Even by daylight the most dangerous
centres Of the criminal classes are protected
against police surveillance. The thorough
fares are guarded; the by-paths are not
watched. 1t is not ar unusual thing for pedes-
TRANS to be stopped by officers while making
the rounds of London and warned against
passing through certain streets. You may
never come out alive if you go in," was said to
an American not long ago, who was on the
edge of one Of the most unsavory districts.
1.-THE officers themselves never go in there
alonen
Ii is this lack of regular and systematic police
surveillance that has rendered it possible for
this London fend to butcher six women within
a few weeks. The murders have occurred
in quarter of the town where the officers have
neglected to establish the ascendancy of lawful
authority The district is not under their con-
troll as every ward, street and block of this
town is under the control of the Newly DIRK
police The murderer has escaped because the
alleys are not patrolled at short intervals and
because the officers are not on familiar terms
with the conditions of this densely populated
section. In New York every house would be
searched if an insane murderer were suspected
of being concealed in district with so short
a radius as half mile There would be
policeman stationed in every block from curfew
till breakfast time if half dozen women had
been murdered in the streets. In London the
officials take these things more easily.

THE REPUBLIcANS AND MAYOR HEWITT.

THE REPUBLICANS AND MAYOR HEWITT.
We observe that the names of some Repub-
leans are signed to the call for the citizens
meeting tonight TO renOminate Mayor Hewitt.
These gentlemen must have forgotten one
episode Of Mr. Hewitts career as Mayor. which
makes it impossible FOR Republicans to support
him without complete Standardization. This
was when he refused last year to help the citi-
zens Of New York in their efforts to secure q
High license law from the Legislature and
urged the passage Of a law permitting the sa-
looms to open on Sunday. How are Repub-
leans going to support at one and the same
time Warner Miller as the champion Of High
License and the American Sunday, and Mayor
Hewitt, the advocate Of Continental Sunday
who refused TO say word for High License
when it might have had great weight?
This he did in letter addressed TO a meet
ing held February 25, 1887, at which many
distinguished citizens of both parties were pres
ent urging High License. The Mayor took
the ground that inasmuch as he was engaged
in an effort to secure the enforcement of ex-
listing excise laws, he ought to refrain official
ly'' from becoming o. the partisan in reference
TO the matter Of license" He conceded that
High License was apparently a comparative
success" wherever it had been tried, but added
this discOuraging sentence: Whether it will
be found practicable to apply it successfully
in this city is still debatabe question: Why

PURITY or ELECTIONS

Next to the necessity Of education every
active Repub ican manager feels is the neces-
sity of guarding against election frauds. IL
is not creditable to the country, and TO the
Democratic party il is shameful that this should
be true. For Republican managers are not
frightened by ghosts or ghost stories Caution
with them is the child of experience. They
know that Democratic frauds have carried cleo
tons many times against the will of the people

on a grave public question we part company
with him. Mayor Hewitt comedies hero al

there has ever since been setting strongly
toward the Republican side. Striking evidence
Of this is furnished in dispatch this morning.
stating that the leader of the Greenback party
and its candidate for Governor. DR.. Hiram u.
Leonard has come out emphaticaly for Har-
rson and Morton on the National issue of pro-
lection. Dr. Leonard is extremely influential
among his followers, and it is predicted that
50 per cent of the Indiana Greenbackers will
join with him in supporting the Republican
candidates. In 1884 DR.. Leonard ran for Gov
ernor oil the Greenback ticket and polled S,33S
votes. The Democratic plurality for Cleve-
land in Indiana that year was 6,427. The
significance of these figures is apparent at
glance.
The anti-Hill movement is gaining in d.
mansions from day to day. One striking thing
about it is the diligence and shrewdness with
which it is managed. Already arrangements
are in progress for big meeting of Demo-
Gratis to denounce the Governor That his
friends are thoroughly alarmed is evident, al
though some of them strenuously deny this,
and declare that their sole socitude is for the
National ticket. This is to be interpreted in
only one way-it means that, if Mr.. Cleveland
doesn't disclaim and denounce the anti-Hill
crusade, Hills supporters will make things
lively for the other side by-and-by. letter
from the President or its equivalent, would
not stop the movement; but it is the only way
of preventing the Hill Knives, which are al
ready whetted, from getting in their fine work.
Mr.. Blaine opened up a fruitful subject when.
in his Detroit speech yesterday, he considered
the use and abuse of the Presidential Veto He
pointed out that through the veto, the Presi-
dent yields at present the legislative power of
thirteen Senators and ffty-four Representa-
tives, and then showed how sparingly this
power was used in the early years of the Re
public. Up to the time of Jackson there were
but six vetoes. and up to 1885 the veto power
had only been exercised about seventy-five
times Mr. Cleveland has already vetoed more
than 800 measures the greater part OF them
pension bills involving small amounts. These
yetoes were rightly characterized by MIR. Blaine
as reading like decisions written by the Com
missioner of Pensions. Mr.. Depew said the
other day that in dealing with pension bills
Mr.. Cleveland has shown the country lawyers
diligence in handling evidence. Certainly
there is no broad craftsmanship in the vetoes
which have cost the President so much toll.
