POLICE CHANGES.

A reduction in the police force of
Honolulu and dividing the day of
"A hours into two instead of three
watches, recorded in our news mat
ter, are changes effected, no doubt,
purely in the interest of economy.
If the state of the funds really COM
pei the movement, nothing remains
but to submit to necessity. Money
constitutes the ''sinews of police
matters" as well as the "sinews of
war" Yet we cannot refrain from
saying that the general impression
seems to be that the force was none
too numerous before the reduction
was made, and therefore the pre-
sent number must, in the public
estimation, be too small. The out
lying suburbs of the city have GER
tainly been, in the past, insuffici-
emily protected by police officers.
The assumption is that in future
those suburbs will be left more to
their own protection than ever. A
watch of twelve hours duration is
decidedly too long in any country
or climate; it is more so in an in
ervating climate like ours. No
policeman and no man in any posi-
tion can be expected to apply him
self very closely to duty for twelve
consecutive hours, even if that time
be broken by little rest in the
centre. A given number of police
men divided into three watches OF
eight hours each with twelve hours
rest, will give more efficient service
than the same number divided into
two watches of twelve hours each
Economy which lessons efficiency il
the police service is economy will
which the public cannot be expected
TO sympathize.

OTTAWA, Mar. 27, 1888.
LIEUTENANT GovERnoR OF BRITISH

tice cautioning any persons going
on sealing expeditions to refrain
from the assertion of their rights by
force and from taking on board arms
and ammunition in excess of their
usual requirements. The whole
matter is engaging the attention of
Her Maiesty's Government and
forms the subject of diplomatic ne

Incorporate action in the meanwhile
would be most detrimental to the
British Columbian interests, and
might lead to serious complications

possibly u little more trade in Texas, but
vet the amount so far taken up has been
small. Nothing OF much account is do

Gradually Becoming n Luxury for Rici
Private Consumers.
Pia,burOh Dipd.ea, June 8.
An advertisement inserted by Haller
Beck & Co., one Of the lorgest salt manu-
featuring firms in this city, stating that
they are prepared to receive bids fol
slack during one year Mt their place Of
business in Allegheny, led Dispatch re-
porter to visit Mr.. John A. Beck, a mem
Der of the firm, and make further in
quiries as 10 the advertisement. Mr..
Beck was seen at his office, and in an in
terview with the reportersaid: 1--WE in
tend to return TO coal and give up the gas.
The reason for doing so is the exhorbi-
tant rates that the gas companies are
now charging. We had contract with
one company last year, and when we
came to renew it we found that the
rates had been more than doubled. We
refused to sign the contract and made
immediate preparations to return TO coal.
They told us not to be in hurry, but
when our contracts expired on May q,
we requested them to shut off the gas.
We can now obtain slack at much
cheaper rate than we could when gas
was first introduced, and alta price much
lower than gas. We will burn it with a
blast. Gas is nice enough, but coal is
much cheaper. 1t will make plenty OF
smoke and the neighbors will, no doubt,
protest, but we cannot help that.
"The gas fixtures have been removed,
crate bars placed in position and will
commence to burn coal on tomorrow
It was also reported that Singer, MIN.
lex & Co. would return to the use Of
coal gas in some departments, but amem-
Der Of the firm denied that they pro-
posed to take any such action.
