An innovation is to be made in police
discipline which should work an improve
ment in its efficiency. 1t is the intention
of the chief to observe greater privacy in
the preliminary stages of detection OF
crime.
II the chief can succeed In adjusting the
balance so nicely that he can withhold
from the newspapers what he should with
hold, and not seek to conceal what the
public should know, he will do q very clever
thing. If he should make the attempt he
may expect an occasional hue and cry. If
he cover up some crimes from merely per-
sonal motives or shield some criminals
from exposure for merely personal reasons,
and the newspapers discover it, he may
expect to be fiayed, at least by some of
them. II he succeeds in catching Offend
ers and recovering stolen goods through a
discreet silence on the part of his de-
tectives, he will be in good position to
defend himself from criticism.
From strictly police standpoint there
is something very absurd about the gar
rulity of police officers in cities even much
larger than Seattle, where confidential
clues are divulged, theories are discussed
and every other opportunity given the
hidden criminal TO obtain information as
to the movements of his pursuers.
This view of the case is not at all incon-
consistent with the endeavors of news
paper to obtain news which il should be
the duty of the police to ssnceal. So far
as that is concerned, the best detectives
are found where they are surrounded by
no less keen-witted reporters, eager to out
strip them in the race for information.
Where detectives know that newspapers are
likely to turn ridicule upon them should
one of their men successfully follow up a
clue where the police had failed, there is a
stimulus to effort better than any other
that has so far been discovered.
The newspaper is not the handmade to
the police; nor the police q necessary
source of news to the papers. Let the
chief lock up the records and seal the lips
of his detectives. The newspapers take
up the challenge; the function ofthe police
is to catch criminals, that of the news
papers to catch news.

rational motive than to invite Mormon CO.
operation to that end, and to coalition
against the Republicans in view of possi-
bic statehood. 1t is the old case OF the
Ethiop's skin and the leopard's spots.
Good government, and material progress,
and the future of the city and territory are
to be sacrificed on the altar of psrtisan-
ship, and TO promote the chances Of few
men to obtain certain coveted but incon-
sequential Offices.
The 7ribune's protest against this scheme
is not based on any fear that the Republic
cans on q fair presentation of issues, and
an intelligent decision by the people as to
their own best interests, could not safely
court the contest and more than hold their
own. Lead, silver, wool and iron being
the chief interests of Utah, no section of
the Union should be more firmly attached
to the principles of protection. But no
arguments to that effect, however sound
and unanswerable, would have weight with
the Mormons If placed in the balance
against a chance to regain all or portion
of their control OF local affairs.
The chances, therefore, are that the
Tribune's eloquent and forceful protest
win be wasted. The two conscienceless
elements will combine, and for many
years the realization of Utah's aspirations
for statehood must be postponed. And in
the meantime her material interests must
suffer intellectually from the discourage
ment to investments and enterprise
which government by such coalition
must entail.

TESTS OF EDUCATION.

It is stated that the teachers of he state
of Washington are beginning to complain
of the rigor of examinations. The course
of study, they say, is gradually widening
and the selection of questions more far
reaching. Education is not q text book
with preface and fms between whose
initial and ultimate letters all questions
and answers are contained. The wider
the range of reading, the better the men,
ory, and the greater the readers
capacity for assimilating acquired in
formation, the less difficult will it be for
the candidate to pass the examination.
The questions are stereotyped to each ex-
aminee but the answers need not be-
1t may be doubted, however, whether
the standard has not been raised too high
for the teachers of primary and secondary
grades. 1t is, in the lower classes, of much
less consequence that the teacher be far
advanced than that he be thoroughly well
grounded in that stage of the pupils de-
velopment at which his supervision will
be needed.
Parents complain very bitterly of the
seeming absence of equilibrium. Educated
people deplore the growing carelessness or
unchecked ignorance in colloquial inter-
course.
1t is hardly possible to conceal bad
schooling. 1t is wholly useless for a man
TO assure one of his scholastic attainments
when his speech displays an ingnorance of
rudimentary principles. The proportion
Of professional men who spell badly and
talk ungrammatically is increasing with
the facility offered in passing the technical
examinations. The prevalence among
children of vicious slang and of errors
which should not survive an acquaintance
with the first principles of grammar is a
serious rejection upon public school teach
ers.
| fthis want of care on the part of teach
ers is due 10 the inattention of examiners
| to fundamental education and TO an over
exacting demand for proficiency in ex-
IRENE branches of study, the complaint of
| the teachers is justified. The fact seems
| TO be that higher education is progressing
among those pupils who can SO through
the entire curriculum, but it is not advanc-
ing as il should do in those earlier stages
at which, with the bulk of the school pop
uIation. education stops.

given $40 for alleged indebtedness; the
shipping-master gets $40 ''blood money"
and there are extra charges that foot up 80
more. All of which is in contravention Of
the Dingley act, but the authorities shut
their eyes to the outrages. or are con-
veniently out Of the way and profess ignor-
ance. but it Is proverbial that "there are
none so blind as those who will not see. :"
And poor Jack suffers the consequences.
The conviction of these evils is the chief
object of the Seamen's Union, which is
but partially backed by public opinion.

A. c. Stevens. editor of Bradstreds, contri-
butes paper on 1.-THE Commercial Death Rate"
to the latest publication OF the American statis-
teal Society. He finds that in this country,
with about one million firms doing business,
the actual failures number from ten to eleven
thousand, or about one In q hundred. Out OF
1868 failures last year he finds that only 4l6,
or about per cent were due to per-
sonal dishonesty. With only In 100 OF those
in business failing, and only in 100 of these
failures due TO dishonesty, the showing for the
business integrity of American dealers can
safely challenge comparison with any other
country. These figures satisfactorily account
for the fact that American merchants have the
best credi. OF any In the world.

THE FAULT OF THE LAMP.

SEATTLE, May II, 1891
To THE EDITOR: Will you please correct an
erroneous statement in your paper of this date
regarding the cause of the fire at the Calvary
Presbyterian church last night? First, the ac-
cident was not TO the tanitor nor through or by
the janitor, who Is not mere boy, nor was the
dificulty with the lamp as stated. The blame
of the accident was wholly due to the manufac.
turers OF the lamps, the continuance for holding
which proved to be insufficient The lamp fell
from its place while being extinguished by Mr..
Stevens. and striking on one OF the peyys smiled
the oil and the fire followed. No boy had any
thing 70 do with the matter. A great many of
these lamps are on the market, and ii would ba

The fact that the Republicans are disposed to

and to make the campaign on the issue of the
