AS stated above, the metropolitan police
include all told 8, 437 men. During the year
1889 they made &, 500 arrests. OF the per-
sons arrested 81, 1874 were charged with in
toxication and 16, SO with being disorderly
An additional number of $3.50 had COM
plants for both OF these misdemeanors
brought up against them. One hundred
and thirteen persons were locked up on &C
cusations Of murder, and were joined in
duress by $50 burglars. Between casual
hilarity and midnight assassination range
is found on the statistics at headquarters
of 1913 other offenses for which men, wo-
men and children were detained during the
past year.
OF course, there must be = master of this
huge machine, man Of experience and
executive ability, to guide, control, punish
and reward To certain degree, he is a
subordinate of others, but in larger meas
ure he is an able autocrat His name is
William Murray, and his title Is superin-
tendent of police.
There are at least three reasons why Mr..
Murray is proper man for the place he
has so efficiently filed during the last five
years. To begin with, he was born in the
city and knows his New York like book
Again, he has made his way up from the
ranks to the post of commander, and, finally,
he is veteran of the war. Here in brief is
his record: Born, 1874; member Ellsworth
Zouaves, 1873; patrOlman, 1865: sergeant,
1870; captain, 1885, inspector, 1877; superin-
tendeDt, 1885 Not q bad showing-a soldier
at II, chief of the metropolitan police at Al.
OF course, during nearly twenty-five years
Of public service Mr.. Murray has had many
of those exciting experiences that fall to
the lot of the officer bent on doing his duty.
To recount them all would require a book,
to give the details of two or three would
take columns, so they must be passed by
with the brief mention that, as a testimo-
NAL of regard for his able work in safe
guarding their property, the jewellers OF
Gotham-after securing permission from
his uperiors-presented Mr.. Murray on
Jan. 25, 1878, with watch valued at 81 ,000
The police of New York are always on
guard, and as a body they are thoroughly
efficient. OF course it would be impossible
to gather together nearly 3, 500 men among
whom no rascals were included. Occasion
ally an officer is found to be a sneak or a
scoundrel, but underneath the slight scum
of evanescent refuse always flows the strong
and steady stream of courage, intelligence
and fidelity.
Because this is the case New York
criminal generally makes progress unex-
celled in any other city. He commits an
overt act one hcLr, the next he is before
police magistrate, and the third his blue
coated guardian is consigning him to the
care of the "screwman" at the Tombs

A TALE OF TODAY.
The Story OF the Coming Newshoy and
the Kind Hearted Man.

Inc SeOFY OF the coming SeWSROy ana
the Kind Hearted Man.
BeauchaInp-J ohnges made happy hit
in Wall street and was delayed at his
Office until O'Clock in the evening.
Cruel hunger had him IN his grasp, so he
decided to dine at the Astor house;
which, being a man of few words, es-
pecially when he argues with himself, ne
did. At o'clock he had finished his re-
past and a couple of bottles Of Extra
Dry, and being uncertain whether he saw
six or eight empty bottles before him, he
decided to walk uptown to his apart
ments.
As he went down the broad stone steps
of the hotel tiny newsboy rushed up to
him.
please, mister, buy one" whined the
kid, holding up a copy of The Wall Of
Distress. I'm stuck on de papers"
"Well, I'm not" quoth Beauchsmp-
Johnges, and then he smiled at his own
sally, which was vaguely apparent to
him. Poor boy" he continued, smit-
ten with generosity, ''here's nickel
and keep your paper" and he sped on.
At the next corner a diminutive news
boy rushed up to him. '.PleaSe, mister"
whined the boy, buy one. I'm stuck
on de papers" and the young highway
man held up copy of The Wall of Dis
tress.
Poor boy, "quoth Beauchamp-J ohnges,
"here's a nickel and keep your paper"
and he walked on.
At the next corner a small newsboy
rushed up to him.
please, mister" the kid whined,
thrusting forth a copy Of The Wall Of
Distress, won't you buy paper? I'm
stuck on EN-"
Worse than fly paper for sticking"
quoth Beauchamp-Johnges, and then he
grinned at his bright remark. Poor
boy" he added, seized with an attack of
generosity, there's a nickel and keep
your paper"
Note by the Editor-(The author, who
writes this on space, exceeded the limits
of propriety and the paper when he re-
peated the scene at every block going up
town, so the editor has been obliged to
dispense with about fifty-five blocks of
the narrative; but the tale is not injured
in the least.)

Beauchamp-J ohnges went deep in his
pocket and took forth a $40 bill. poor
boy" he said, take nickel out of this
and keep your paper"
The small boy handed 1896 to the kind
hearted man, and then sighed as he
watched his benefactor enter the hotel.

HON. B. T.. GRADY.

A correspondent of The Whining
ton Messenger says: That brainy
Democratic candidate for Congress
in the Third Congressional district,
B. F. Grady, Esq, spoke to an ap-
preciative audience on Monday last
at Burgaw. He had previously spok-
ell at several places in Pender, and
wins golden opinions wherever he
speaks, as an able expounder of con-
stitutional Law, and of the history
and principles of our National Gov
ernment. His eApositions of the
enormities of the tariff, and of the
Mckinley Tariff bill, and of The OPP
pressions of our national banking
system, and of other ruinous laws
Of the Republican party, were clear,
able and conclusive. No young
member of the House OF Represen-
tatives from North Carolina, ever
took a higher stand in Congress, than
this able and thoroughly informed
Democrat will take. He is well post
ed on the science of political econo-
my. Mr.. Grady has devoted his use
full life to farming and TO teaching
in schools and colleges. He is an
other striking example that talent,
capacity, and patriotism, are az In
digenous to country life as to towns
and cities. He is making a vigorous
and successful canvass Of the dis
trict. The people arc pleased with
him wherever he goes.

Senator Voorhees, said Of the ses-
sion of Congress just closed "It has
been the worst of the many sessions
/ have been connected with, and it's
legislation, where it accomplished
results, most injurious to the labor
ing interests of the cJuntry.n Sena-
tor Gray said, on the same subject !:
"This session has been run by revo-
lutionary methods, and as such will
be notorious in history. The major
ity seem to have regarded it as nee
essary to impose the most burden
some taxes on the people Partizan
and class legislation has been the
sessions distinguishing characteris-
tics. The taking up of the Force
bill in December would be logical
conclusion to the legislation of this
session. That bill is nothing but an
extraordinary measure to perpetuate
the power of the Republican party
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1890-10-16

The Mckinley Tariff bill is SO fl
grantly wicked and unjust that even
the departed murmur against it.
From the political sepulchrc of Ex
President Hayes a voice is heard
exclaiming:
"I cannot find words to express
my regret at the passage of the mea
sure. It is ruinous to all our best
interests, and it will do an infinite
amount of harm j cannot under
stand how public men can be 50
blind to the interests of the county
at large as to pass such bill. 1t is
annihilating to the Republican par
ty. IL is the most terrible blow that
has been struck at the party during
its existence. / can only say that /
hope such a policy will die out, sure
ly and soon but / cannot shut my
eyes to the evil that will be done
before such protection as this finds a
grave"
Mr.. Hayes, being retired to pri-
vate live and the hope of office and
Protectionist shekels being far re-
moved from him, speaks out his
conscientious opinion in this matter
The Mckinley bill will go down II
the history Of our country as a ma
tional outrage upon the laborins
classes, and the Republican party
| will be held to Strict accountability
! for its evil results.
