 The police commissioners are strongly advocating a pension fund for the po- lice. Would it not be well to delay this matter, as they already have sick bene- fit association among themselves or at least until enough regular patrolmen have been appointed to duty to properly protect the city? In some parts of the city, at present, one regular policeman has to cover territory enough for half a dozen and still objections are made to 8 sufficient increase. It seems queer that outsiders should know more about how many men are needed than the commis- sioners and chief do, but, from present indications, this is the case. Never will the city affairs be properly managed by politics, as it is now being done. When men are elected to offices by the public, all party feelings should be cast aside and they should work together on the several boards to which they may be- long as one and for the best interests of the city and taxpayers. They should not keep politics ahead, doing every thing in hopes of a re-nomination, the following year. Experience should teach office holders that those who do their work well, with no fear of either party, are pretty sure of re-nomination and election by the people.
