Eighty years ago the best policcd city III the
world was Paris, twenty years it was London

Police Department of this city is extremely SIMPLE
and in that quality lies in large part us cihcleucy'
The law of the State authorizes the Mayor 10
appoint four commissioners, who constitute what
is known as the Board of Police. They are the
head of the Police Department. They govern ana
control it, direct its business, manipulate It's
affairs, enact, plodify, and repeal from time to
time orders rules and regulations OF general as
.ipline make appointments, promotions, and re-
movals-in short, their authority in police matters
is SC nearly supreme that they handle the lorce
pretty much as they please Should they override
their authority, however, the Mayor may com
plain to the Governor and have them turned out
of Office as Mayor Cooper did in the case of

Passage of tho Silver BIil-slIght Ad.
Vance In Pacific Mnsl-RaiI.
rnnd Handn OuInI.

NEW YORK. July l4-The hopes OF many
sanguIne bulls on the stock market were rather
disappointed this morning when the stock
market failed to respond to the Anal passage Of
the silver bill by more than fractional rise at
che opening, which gave way to heayiness later
in the day. The opening Of tho market aided
by higher figures from London, showed adj.
vances over Saturdays 6nal prices Of from n
to n per cent generally, while the passage Of
the shipping bill opened Pacific Mail up ~ per
cent. Outside OF Sugar Refneries, silver cer-
tificates and some specialties, however, the
further gains were entirely Insignificant, and
the temper Of the speculation from that time
was heavy. though the prevailing dullness
and stagnation precluded anything like ma
terial losses, and the changes in the gen.
eral list were confined to slow and
ues. Sugar kefnerles showed mo t
animation, and were advanced about
per cent, but later lost all Of the improve
ment. Rock Island was shown the most atten:
tion among the stocks Of tho regular list, and
the bears attacked it on the reports Of the
failure OF the crops along the line, but 1t closed
only slight fraction lower than Saturday.
The passage of the shipping bill doomed Pacific
Mall at the opening, and it rose Il per cent. but
shaded OF with the rest of the list for time,
but recovered again, and is the only stock
showing material advance for the day, its
gain being n per cent. The traders sold early
in the day, but became inactive and the close,
while dull, was rather heavy at insignificant
changes for the day.
Railroad bonds were quiet, the trading ex-
tending TO S95S.000, but there was no active
specially and the marked changes were in the
inactive bonds: The temper Of the market
closely followed that in shares. and heaviness
prevailed with little change In quotations.
Government bonds have been dull and
steady.
State bonds have been without feature.
