WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb. 2

WASHINGTON, ID. C., Feb 2, 1891.
Hon. William Window, exRepresenta-
tive, ex Senator and Secretary of the Treas
ury, was in apparently good health when
he left here last Thursday for New York,
where he went to speak before the New
York Board of Trade and transportation
to-day. official Washington saw, with tear
dmmed eyes, his remains lowered to their
last resting place in beautiful Rock Greek
cemetery. 1t all seems like a horrible
dream | find it extremely difficult to real
ize that this big-brained big-hearted,
whole-soued American is dead that shall
no more see the bright CHEEKY smile with
which he always received a newspaper
man in quest OF information-and he al
ways got it too, if it were in the Secrctary's
power to give it to him.
There were two services over the corpse,
one private, at his late residence, and the
otherpublic, at the Church of the Coven-
Owing to the general desire of the Of
ficials and members of Congress to attend
the funeral, it was necessary to have ad-
mission to the church by ticket only. BY
IL 80 O'Clock to-day every seat in the ca
pacious church was filed and hundreds
were sitting in the aisles. Among them
were the President the Justices of the Su
preme court, the entire diplomatic corps.
all of the departmental officials OF promi-
nence, all of the army and navy officers at
present in Washington, and, believe,
every Senator and Representative in the
city. A more impressive scene have new
er witnessed than that presented when the
remains were brought into the church,
followed by Mr.. Windows late colleagues
in the cabinet, who acted as honorary pail
bearers. Many we're the tears that fell
from manly eyes, while there was scarcely
woman in the church who was not COM
PEELED to make constant use Of her hand
kerchief.
The widow and her son and daughters
have the heartfelt sympathy of every one; !;
hut sympathy can do but little to assuage
such grief as theirs. To the public the
death of Secretary Window is great ma
tional loss, how great, only those know
who have to deal with the finances of the
country but to the widow and children it
is the personal loss of as kind and affec-
t,onate q husband and father as any wife
and children ever were blessed with.
Already gossip Is busy suggesting names
for the successor of the late Secretary
Wipdom, and 1t is generally agreed that
the President has an unusually hard task
before him in filling the vacancy. There
are fortunately plenty Of strong, able and
skillful fnanciers; men of the necessary
broadness Of mind and strength of pur-
pose to move straight ahead on line Of
policy, once adopted, in spite of the thous-
and and one wildcat financial schemes
which will be certain to spring up in the
next House Of Representatives, but 1t will
be difficult to get these men to consent to
assume responsibilities, the weight Of
which have undoubtedly killed three men

Secretaries Folger, Manning and Win
dom-withln the last three administra-
tions.
1t is generally believed here that Repre-
sentative Mckinley could receive the ap-
pointment If he would accept it, which,
his close friends say, is extremely doubt
full. However, Mr.. Mckinley is very
warm friend of the administration, and [
have an idea that if the President con-
cludes that he is the best man for the posi-
ton he can persuade him to accept it.
Among others prominently mentioned for
the vacancy are Senators Sherman, Aili-
son, Ingalls, and Spooner, and Representa-
tive Cannon OF Illinois. Chief among gen
tlemen in private life who are spoken OF in
this connection are ex-Gov. Foster of
Ohio, and Stephen b. Elkins. 1t is not
thought that the vacancy will be filled this
week. In the meantime Assistant Secre-
tary Nettleton is under the law acting as
Secretary of the Treasury
The apportonment bill, which passed
is now in the hands of the President, and
will undoubtedly be a law within the neA.

The Machinery Of Enforcement.

1t is doubtful if the best way to enforce
the laws Of the State Is to multiply sets Of
officers, with specialized instructions. The
best way is to make it Indispensable that
every police executive, whether sheriff city
marshal, deputy or policeman shall be a
man who does not himself violate the law,
and who is sufficiently sound In character
to be above completely of any sort with
offenders. Then let such executors of the
law be men of detective skill. promoted
through various grades of honor, for
efficiency, integrity and tact, and we shall
not need any more complicated machinery
of detection.
We don't want to set a rogue to catch q
rogue-that sort of thing has been over
worked, and the rogues gone free. That
mischievous old saw invites in the private
detective system which is a standing irony
of the public detective service, beside multi
plying the burdens and the difficulties of
detection and thus facilitating crime. One
Of the crying evils of our time is that it
costs so much to get justice that people,
particularly of small means, in many cases
find injustice more economical. We want
less complication in the machinery Of JUS
tice-not more. We want fewer detectives
who detect nothing beyond their own
Immediate interest. For the contingent
skilled in the art of not seeing, we want
men skilled both in insight and In sight,
men who believe in enforced law, and who
shrink from notification as from the curse
that has an uDcanny habit of coming home
to rOOst.
We are perfectly well aware that it Is
the fad to criticise the police, and we are
not inclined to wholesale adverse cnnclu-
sions because there are policemen In so
many places of uDdoubted completely with
offenders. We know there are many skill
ful and conscientious officers in the service
of county, city and state; but we reafirm
that in winnowing the chat from the wheat
lies the only safe clue to the staff of life
of this Question-which is the certainty
both of detection aud Of punishment Of
crime. Business ideas In detection aud Z
determination to make character. expert
ence and tact. essential qualifications in
executors of law, are what we must ring
in il we want to supersede our present
slatternly and ill-wOrking police system by
one organized for some other purpose than.
~ in some cases is now true, for Ostenta.
tious effort in seeing how little can be
done. And here we can fall back on the
threadhare but sound idea that behind all
weakening Of the forces OF the state, limps
lame public sentiment and that of i'm.
perative importance as an initial ofreform,
Is fixed determination on the part Of
folks concerned that they actually want It.

half, of all the food preparations sub.
mit'ed to him for examination were
adulterated. Some times the adul.
terations were harmless and in these
cases the purchaser would be only
swindled, but in many instances rank
