THE POLICE AS DOCTORS

Work a Remarkable Cure Upon a
Poor Deaf and Dumb Man.
The police force do not profess to
have marvellous powers of healing,
and yet sometimes they effect "cures"
that are really astonishing. Some
time ago stranger named Renstrom,
who claimed to be printer, arrived
in the city and very soon afterwards
a vagrant. RenstrOm then profused to
be deaf and dumb, called for slate
and thereon wrote what answers he
had to make. Assistant City At
torney Walling tried him in the
deaf and dumb language"
but he failed to respond.
The recorder thought the city ought
to take charge of the afflicted, and
therefore he fined him SIS or five days.
This sentence had a remarkable eff
feet. Renstrom heard it, and spoke
fuently of the "injustice" done him,
but he got to the Jail all the same.
Yesterday he called at Poesmann's
boarding house on South Alamo street
and wanted board. He saw Mrs.
Poesmann, and then proved the police
cure of dumbness was permanent.
for he talked pleasantly and freely,
but he didn't know that Poesmann
was policeman. When Poesmann
came in, arranged in his brand new
uniform, and looking like one of
finest Renstrom was astonished and
he was the more surprised when
Poesmann brought in Officer Mushall
who identified and run him in as
vagrant. AS a result of this event
Poesman doesn't mourn the loss of
big board bill, and Renstrom is again
being boarded by the city tor ten
days longer.

In MemOrX

tai of the late Thomas B. Simpson
was consigned to the cold earth, and
his many loving comrades who knew
him in life, in the full glow of his
strong young manhood, followed the
torn and mangled remains to their
last resting place and dropped tear
to his memory. Deceased. who died
on the rail, while in the performance
of his duties as brakeman, resided at
No. 80 Grand avenue, where he
leaves loving and now heart-broken
wife and three charming little girls,
the eldest out four years of age. His
mother, and sister and two surviving
brothers, all well known in this city,
also feel deeply bereaved and incon-
solable. Being member of the Roman
Catholic church, deceased died in the
grace of this religion and went to his
grave as many brave lad of his call
ing before has done, bravely, unfiinch-
ingly and proudly. Rest to his soul,
and peace to his loved ones

 But no matter what the danger of President Harrison's muzzling the press in this respect, the Jersey City Argus points out that there is mighty little danger his example will ever be copied by democratic president in regard to the democratic press, for, as the Argus says, when political rewards are given out the newspapers and the men who own or conduct them usually have to be content with what is left after every one else is satisfied" That has been the general experience of democratic news paper men, and the chances are very likely that it will continue to be. Taken altogether, we think there is very little danger of subsidiZing the press by ju- dicious incursions into it's realms for good official timber It is rather an ir- dication that President Harrison is cap able of appreciating good thing when he SapS it

EDITORS IN OFFICE.


 The unusually large number of news this administration has excited comment and has been generally regarded as one of the most certain indications that Pres ident Harrison is an abler and shrew6er man than he had hitherto been reported The New York Evening Post, however, questions the propriety of selecting newspaper men for office on the ground that it is in the line of subsidizing the press. Of course there is little force to such an objection for the reason that party organs are not likely to be stimu- lated to unusual zeal in behalf of the party or candidates by any hope of re- ward i'll the way of office. They are content, ordinarily speaking, to spend their energies for their party and to take their reward i'll the satisfaction they de- they eXpound. If they are not content with this. the experience of many of them is proof that there is very little hope of ether reward. It is for them very much a case of Hobson's choice.
 Other objections to the Harrisonian as follows The domestic objections to the use of the diplomatic service to subsidize the party press to which Pres ident Harrison is indulging are obvious enough. Every lover of free govern ment sees them, whether he confesses it or not. Nothing like it has ever occurred before. It has already absolutely mug zled several leading party newspapers touching the character of his nonina- tions, some because the editors names others because the editors were expecting appointments of some sort themselves, and others because the. editors were friends of the appointees, and bound by professional comity to speak highly of them But besides the domestic objec- tions, there is one foreign one of con siderable force. There is no minister of foreign affairs of any European power who is ever willing to talk freely to a newspaper man, even when he is clothed in diplomatic robes. He always doubts whether the editorial discretion can be trusted-that is, whether an editor can keep a secret. Doubtless this is an un- just or exaggerated view, but it is one deeply rooted in the European official mind. and ought to be taken into ac- count in selecting envoys.' This last objection seems to be decidedly far fetched, for European ministers or others are not likely to entrust American en- voys with official secrets that do not concern our own government, and as for Keeping such secrets to themselves in so far as may be neces- sary we think newspaper men may be trusted as well as any others.
