Yesterday weeks Netes prints the fol.
lowing editorial paragraph;

Nehteruky weeks NeUS prlntB the roll
lowing editorial paragraph;
Council was going to provide for hiring
some city detectives for Mayor HARRINGTON
70 use in special police work when It made
the new city estimates, but 1t did not do 80.
In the estimated revenue OF the city for the
next ttscal year the police department Is
credited with $4,000 and the municipal
court with So 500. Out OF this sc 800 some
FL 800 or % 900 could easily be spared for
hiring etedtiyes-particularly as the work
Of the detectives would bring back Ia hard
cash all that II costs. Hitherto private clti-
sens have had to pay for this detective
work out OF their OVID pockets-in other
words, they have paid an additional special
AK In order to have the laws enforced
This Is utterly unjustihable. Council should
provide for hiring the necessary detectives.
The Ne,os at last comes to the position
the GAzETTE has long maintained and
practically illustrated upon this matter
and only that papers radical change of
sentiment makes the matter worthy of
note. Nearly two years ago, when EVERY
EVENING employed the services of de-
tective agency to rout the gamblers,
which It did with the greatest success, the
Neos instead Of bestowing any oommen-
dAtion upon the work endeavored to be-
little it, and to argue that there was no
necessity for detectives to ferret out
rong-doers il the police Chen under q
Democratic mayor performed their duty.
The necessity of reaching law breakers
by Just such means as employed by
EVERY EVENING has again and again
been proved. Excepting perhaps an iao-
lated case or two there has not heen q
conviction in the court OF gambler
against whom testimony was gathered by
other than detective or some cue in the
paid employ of the authorities other than
the police. The Law and Order Society
found this the only efficient means to
strike an effective blow at Sunday and
other illegal liquor selling. This is no re-
Election upon the police; it is as impossi.
BILE for them to perform detective service
against class Of law-breakers as it would
be useless to hunt for wild ducks with a
Chinese band. Whether or not the fact
that the political complexion has been
changed to suit the views OF the .Netos
enters into the matter can only be in
ferred, but that it has been gradually
getting around to the right side of the
question may illustrate that it ia eventu-
ally awakening to the needs of the COM
munitJ. Regarded even from a mer-
oenary standpoint it has been shown that
well conducted detective work will pay
particularly when sumo one else foots the
bills. EVERY EVENING spent little over
$1,000 and the county Melted about
$1,000 by the transaction.

The Philadelphia Ledger says that
President Harrison lis inclined to per-
nit every competent. well behaved fed
esal officer in Philadelphia and elsewhere,
generally, to serve out four years term
from the day when be took office. This
is his inclination, as the Ledger is reason
ably we'll informed on the subject. Cir
cumstances in some particular instances
may oyerbesr this inclination, but we do
not believe that, except in some peculiar
cases, the President will be found taking
able and faithful federal officials by the
collar and walking them in summary
fashion ont of their Offices. Hence
it would appear that the enterprising
applicants who expect to get their
appointments tomorrow and to- morrow

who assume that he will, both talk and

A Victory for Blaine.

WASHINGTON, d. G. June &c.
Although the text of the Berlin COM
pact, now on its way to Washington
in the custody of Mr.. Phelps, is not
yet published, its basis has evidently
been allowed to become known as if
to ascertain the popular opinion upon
it. Alike in Germany, England and
the United States, this opinion shows
that our country has achieved a great
success, This result is more due to
the firm and inexOrable attitude of
Mr., Blaine than to any political lean
ings of England toward the power
which it is her highest aim to concil-
late. The Germans, accustomed to
the ChanceIlor's autocratic control Of
their foreign policy already console
themselves with the~assump ptioH~that
a settlement of the diplomatic con-
troversy, even at loss, will yet
leave them free to further augment
