The prac tice that some people have
of hitching horses to shade trees in
the City is very bad one and ought
to be discontinued forthwith and for
oil time. It takes time and money to
plant trees, and it is an outrage to
have them injured by horses being
tied to them after they have got well
to growing, furnishing shade and
identifying residences. The marshal
should look after this matter of hitch
ing horses to trees and put a stop to
the practice.

HOW TO INVESTIGATE.

The board OF police commissioners
have given out to the reporters of the
press that their functions are judicial
and therefore they cannot properly en-
ter upon the investigation OF charges
against the members Of the police force
or fire department unless complaint is
flied in due form in writing by some re-
sponsible citizen.
This assumption on the part OF the
commission is not well-grounded. The
police commission is an executive body.
1t has the power to appoint and
dismiss any member OF the police
force from the chief down to
patrolman. In the discharge of
these executive functions they incl
dentally are clothed with power
to investigate the conduct of their ap-
pointees, and to send for persons and
papers that will enable them to ascer-
tain what, if any, abuses may exist in
the department over which they have
supervision.
When sitting as a board of inquiry
the commission does, in a measure, only
exercise judicial powers, but its in-
quiries are not circumscribed by any
rules Of court OF law. They have a
| right to ask any question they please
and draw out of any witness whatever
information he may possess, whether it
be of his own knowledge or by hearsay.
Like any court of inquiry the commission
| is expected to go to the bottom of the
subject or complaint, regard ,ess of tech
nicalities or lawyers bubbles. Any
| other procedure would be q farce. The
| conduct of a member OF the police or
| fire department cannot be properly in
7 vestigated if the code Of criminal pro-
| cedure is to be enforced in the inquiry.
| The officer may not be guilty of a CRIME,
| or even misdemeanor, and yet his
conduct may be such as to render him
] unfit for the proper exercise of police
functions.
It is simply preposterous for the COM
mission to demand that specific
| charges shall be filed against
individual policemen whenever
abuses are complained of through
the press. 1t is the business of live
newspapers to publish the news. 1t is
the duty of editors to expose and de-
nounce abuses of official authority and
call attention of officials to the miscon-
duct of subordinates. 1t is not the duty
or province of editors to file complaints
against anybody who betrays public
trust or oversteps the bounds Of his
authority as an official. Editors are not
public prosecutors. nor are they ex-
pected to go before courts, commits
sioners and city councils as such.
They may be cited before courts in
capacity of witnesses and required to
produce proofs of their allegations, but
they are not expected to be limited to
giving facts only that are within the
range Of personal knowledge. Editors
and reporters cannot be on the spot
whenever policeman transgresses the
rules or commits an unwarranted assault
If the commission expects to wait until
editors prefer charges in person they
will only convince the public that they
are either trying to shirk a RESPONSE
bility or do not consider the abuses COM
planned of as deserving attention at their
| hands.

CARLISLE IN MEXICO.

The distinguished attention which is
being shown ex-Spcaker Carlisle in
Mexico will be gratifying to the entire
American people. 1t is reassuring
evidence of the friendly regard OF the
authorities and people of Mexico for
the people of the United States, AID it
is alike our interest and theirs that this
spirit should be encouraged and culti-
vated. Mr.. Carlisle is worthy Of the
consideration that ls being extended to
him. He is representative American
citizen, who as speaker of the
house Of representatives, three times
chosen, filed honorably a position
of dignity and power second in import
ance and responsibility only to that of
the presidency. Regardless of political
differences, all fair-minded men will
concede to Mr.. Carlisle high order of
ability, candor and fairness in the dis
cussion of political issues, a just and ad-
equate appreciation of the duties and
obligations of off'cial position, and un-
questionable patriotism. The attent on
shown him in the neighboring republic
is more than personal compli-
ment. The courtesy extends to all
that prompts it will be reciprocated by
all of them.
The intercourse of Mr.. Carlisle with
the statesmen and people OF Mexico
ought to be productive OF good results.
1t ought to do much to give the Mexi-
can people a better impression than
they perhaps have regarding the feel
| ing and disposition of the United States
respecting the relations that should
subsist between the two republics.
| There is reason to believe that our
| neighbors are somewhat distrustful of
US, and perhaps not entirely without rea-
son. The earnest disposition shown by
Mexico within recent years. and partic-
ularly since the Diaz administrator
came in, to cultivate closer trade rela-
tions with the United States, has not
been met by this country in way to
encourage the Mexicans to believe that
we are particularly solicitous to extend
our commerce in that direction. With
the exception of more liberal arrange
ment for the transmission OF merchan-
disc by mail between the two countries
the United States has not for years
done anything to promote better
commercial relations between the two
countries. There is an altogether
groundless feeling in Mexico, also, tina
this country covets a portion OF her ter
rltory, and that there is large number
OF people here who seriously hope foi
the conquest OF Mexico at some period
in the not remote future. One of he
most prominent statesmen discussed
this matter some months ago in al
American magazine, with view t.
showing the American people that the
should allow Mexico to remain siste
republic. What Mr.. Carlisle has al
ready sand to the Mexican peo
pie was designed to disa
buse their minds OF sucl
erroneous impressions aad to assur
them OF the friendly feeling and desire

HONORING EDISON.

King Humbert Of Italy honored HIM
self more than he did Thomas A. Edi-
son in presenting the distinguished
electrician with an insignia that car
ries with it the title of count. 1t is not
at all likely that the eminent apostle of
science, who is one of the most modest
and unpretentious of men, will ever
employ the empty title as prefix. AS
an American citizen, proud Of his ma
tionality, he doubtless has as little
respect for foreign titles as the great
majority of his intelligent coun-
trymen, and as plain Mr.. Edi-
son his fame is as secure
as it would be il he permitted himself
to be called Count Edison-possibly
more 80, just as the world thinks better
OF Mr.. Gladstone for having declined
title. But in the way of kings, Hum
bert has shown in the strongest way he
could, his appreciation of the great
achievements of the distinguished
American electrician, and from this
point of view the presentation is to be
regarded as a marked honor.
This circumstance suggests the fact
that Edison has saved the American
exhibit at the Paris exposition from
being an almost complete failure. Not
only is his electrical exhibit the finest
ever made, but it is said to be by far the
most attractive feature of the exposi-
| tion, getting more attention both from
| the general visitors and from scientific
! Investigators than any other, and with
out it the American portion of the ex-
| position woulG be OF little consequence.
Thus Thomas A. Edison has done a
very great service for his country, and
undoubtedly the knowledge OF this, and
OF the fact that it is duly appreciate d
by his countrymen, is vastly more graft
| flying to him than would be the be-
stowal of a score of titles from as many
of the potentates OF Europe.

TIE rich iron deposits known to exist

THE rich iron deposits known to exist
in Wyoming and Colorado have re-
ceived some attention of late from east
ern capitalists. This region, however,
is still comparatively unknown, and

velopment. The Iron industries OF the
