The subcommittee of the Council
Committee on Police, charged with the
duty of assisting Solicitor Riley in the
preparation of a new general police or
dinance, met again last evening and lis
tened to the draft of the paper which
had been prepared by the Solicitor.
The new law Is necessarily very volumi-
nous, it combining all the old and scat
tered measures bearing upon the police
department and Police Court generally,
all obsolete, cumbersome, and unneces-
sary and imperative sections being
omitted, while some new features which
will likely commend themselves to the
full committee and to Council have been
inserted.
One Of the most important changes is
in the placing of the city lookup with

on Police, through the Chief, and an
other is the placing Of the workhouse
upon the same footing. The great ad-
vantage accruing from this will be that
the entire police department OF the city
will be under the supervision of one
man, and the Committee will know just
who to hold responsible for any derelic-
ton OF duty. The uperintendent Of
the workhouse and the Lookup Keeper
and his assistant will be made regular
members of the police force.

A DEMOCRATIC PLEDGE.



A few days ego Tho Times-Dem-
ocra&, in the interest AZ the Demo-
oracy, made . suggestion to the
Democratic State central committee
that some safeguards should be
thrown around the Democratic
primaries to prevent voters, who are
are not Democrats, but who are
in reality third party men, from
taking part In them. The import
ance Of the subject must he the ex-
cuse for our reverting to it.
We have already stated, and
again give expression to, our belief
that q large majority Of the members
Of the Alliance in this State, as in
the South generally, are Democrats
democrats first and Alliance men
afterward. 1t Was at that minority
section only Of the Alliance-men,
who. like President Polk, would not
vote for the nstional Democratic
candidates unless the candidates
we're approved from the point of
view Of undemocratic principles.
that the suggestion Of safeguard
WIS directed. 1t is the third party
men in the ranks OF the Alliance,
and tho third party men only.
whose allegiance is in any way sub
ject to question and it is ON their
account that We propose that the
State Genital Committee shall i'm
troduce some pledge or shibboleth
1T Democratic feality comforting
the right Of entry to the primaries.
Tile imposition Of such u pledge.
or the exactiOn Of such q shil,bO-
leth. would be no hardship to voters
who are Democrats at heart. 1t
would merely be in their case a
statement or restatem mt Of their
anwavering adherence. To that politi-
cal faith to which it has always been
alwsys will he, their pride to sub
scribe. lnstcad Of its being hard
ship. it would I've pleasure to men
to whom it is an honor 10 be Demo-
Gratis, to take any pledge OF their
th"rOugh-going Democracy which
the Central Committee might inn
pose.
TO protect the primaries, there
fore, against pseud0-demOcrats or
third-party men. a rule should be
passed by the Central Committee
requiring Of every man who votes
at the coming State primary to
pledge himself to support the DEM
ocratic nominees in the congression-
al election Of 1892, the Democratic
nominees in the presidential election
of 1892 aud the platform OF the
Democratic party Of 1892.
The taking Of such pledge would
be q criterion OF . voters DemOc-
racy; the refusal to take it would
be conclusive proof Of his third
partyism, or, at the least, OF his in
teniion to oppose the Democratic
par y in the congressional and
presidential fight.
Once again we commend this
matter to the thoughtful considera-
ton Of the Democratic party in the
State; and, in particular, we sub
nit to the State Central Committee
the expediency Of their agreeing
upon aud setting up such . test or
pledge Of Democracy as will secure
the cud 10 which We have adverted.

Tie lot Of the Southern farmer

Tie lot OF the Southern farmer
has not been al enviable one since
the war. He has seen his main

steadily and his load Of Federal

usurioas rates for money and sup
plies, yet he has received precious
few returns in the way Of educational
