Mr.. Baugh was very anxious on
Thursday evening TO deprive the
Mayor of the RICH: TO appoint the
driver of the patrol wagon. and want
ed to place It in the hands of the
Police Committee, which would make
the appointment Of Democrat certain.
This move of Mr.. Bsugh's was so
maniiestly unfair and unjust that Ii
was opposed by the ether Democratic
members and defeated. Partisanshp
OF this nature is not at all credlteble,
and shows that if those who indulge
In II were able TO do so, they would
take the entire appointing power out
of the hands of the Mayor whenever
one should be elected whose politics
differed from their own. Mayor. Har-
rington has shown that although he Is
a Republican he is not partisan, by
appointing several Democrats on his
force, but we do not remember that
this city ever had Democratic Mayor
who appointed a single Republican.
Further than that we believe that if a
Democrat should be elected to succeed
Mayor Harrington, every Republican
now on the force, no matter how good
an officer he may have been, will have
10 walk the plank.

1t seems that it is about time TO put
a stop to the hsndshaking craze.
When President Harrison held pub.
lie reception shortly after his inaugu-
ration the bones Of his arm were
almost pulled out of place by the
thousands who were eager to grasp
his hand and have the satisfaction OF
saying that they had shaken hands
with the President. Captain Murrell,
the gallant commander of the Mis-
souri,, is the latest victim, and it is
said that his right hand is now
swollen to twice its natural size and
that he is unable TO use il from The
handshaking which he experienced in
Baltimore. President Harrison and
Captain Murrell are not the ouly ones
that have been victims OF this sense
less practice. and we are glad that the
President has abandoned 1t and now
receives his visitors with q bow in
stead of a grip of the hand. All pub
lie men should follow his example, for
as the constant drop OF water wears a
hole in the stone So does the constant
handshaking ruin the nerves and
muscles OF the human being.
