AT this writing none Of the exuberant
hoodlums have been arrested, though it
is believed the names OF all Of them are
known. The parties whom the police
are looking for are johnson; Charles
Seville, u steamboat bar.keeper, and
Jerry Twohig. The other fellow is
unknown, but will not long remain
so. In addition to the heavy penalties
awaiting them from the police department,
Mr.. Manor will demand rccompense for
the destruction OF 1915 drag, and perhaps
q dead horse or two from over exertion and
bad treatment generally from the drivers.

Prof. GeiIcken's letters, which cover the
period from 1880 to 1887, are marked
throughout by hostile criticisms OF Bis

mentioned in the course OF the correpona-

OF the Code, which requires sworn esti-

How Negro Man Was Made to Pay

How n Negro Man Was Made to Pay
Fifty Cents to Escape Imprisonment.
officer Kelly is out in an interview in
the Public Ledger of yesterday, in which
he intimates that the APPEAL reporter has
personal grudge against him, and that
the account in yesterdays ApPEAL Of the
arrest OF negro for breaking q streetcar
window was not in accordance with the
facts. He then proceeds to give the facts,
as follows:
lie says that he was hailed by the driver OF the
car. who made complaint against the negro and de-
mandcd his arrest, saying that he had broken one
OF the cur windows, which he refused TO pay for.
Mr. Nelly took his prisoner 10 the station-housc,
hut says That he was not refused, rs the APPEAL
reporter would have his readers believe upon
mere hearing of the facts by the Chief lie was
no, released, ~ matter OF fact, until he had paid
the 80 cents necessary 10 have the window replaced
The negro was jmpudoutand offensive, and ought
10 have been not only arrested but punished
This does not differ very much from the
account published in TnE APPEAL, except
in the allegation that the negro was impu-
dent and offensive, and that Chief Davis
did not release him until he had paid 90
cents for the broken window pane. The
answer TO this is easy. The APPEAL re-
porter has no personal grudgo against
Kelly, and will cheerfully applaud him for
any meritorious thing he may do.
The negro may have been impudent and
offensive after he was taken from the car,
but no was not 50 before that occurred, as
the Appeal reporter is prepared TO prove
by reliable witnesses, II the Commission
ers order an investigation, rs they ought
10 do.
Chief Davis was the APPEAL reporters
authority Tor the statement that the negro
had been released, and Chief Davis failed
10 say anything about having received 80
cents from him for the broken glass;
Yesterday, however, the chief stated such
| 10 be the facts. The money taken was
extorted under fear OF imprisonment and
is just rs much an ollense when committed
by Chief Davis as by Officer Kelly.
Chief Davis had no more right 10 take
that negro's 80 cents under the circum-
stances than he had to cut his throat, and
he owes the public an explanation OF his
conduct TnE APPEAL insists that no OFF,
Ger should be encouraged in making m
arbitrary arrest, and that any attempt in
that direction should bo prompt; and
sternly rcbuked.

OF receiving the invaluable education Of q
literature permeated by American thought
and feeling, the great majority Of them are
supplied only with books Of foreign origin,

other nation in the world approaching this
in civilization is so poorly provided with

upon public within and caprice. as well as

Congress to help our authors by the pass

THERE is just one way TO bring fully TO
light the conspiracy unearthed by Tie NetD
York Herald, and set forth in dispatch
from New York published in another col
umn, and that is to have the Pnkerton
detectives therein mentioned arrested un-
der the United States laws for trial for
conspiracy to murder. The facts being es-
toblshed against them, there would be no
trouble in extraditing the English detec-
tiyos who are charged with being their ac-
completes. Such n course attended with
successful results would have the happcst
effect on tho Parnoll case and would
cinch the conviction fast fastening itself
