CRIMINAL POLICE PRACTICES.

The acquittal of the persons charged
with the kidnapping of a wealthy Detroit
citizen reveals state of affairs that calls
fer wide comment. 1t is limited upon in
the brief telegraphic report by the remark
that the verdict will probably result in "a
wholesale cleaning out of the police
force"
The crime of kidnapping wealthy citi-
zen and holding him for ransom, is Pc
culiarly bold defiance of individual rights
and the whole system of law. If there
had been any decent proof that the parties
accused were guilty of that bold crime,
there can hardly be any doubt that any
Jury would have convicted them. The
conclusion from the verdict is that the
Jury was satisfied from the evidence that
the Detroit police, being unable to find the
real criminals, concluded to vindicate
themselves by trumping up case against
some one. The result is that the -vindica-
ton has settled on the wrong persons.
If this is the real state of the case, it
shows the police to be no better than the
criminals. Officers of the law who try to
send innocent men to the penitentiary in
order to conceal their own ineficiency are
no better than kidnapers themselves.
When the possibility of such practice is
demonstrated, it opens up the road to all
sorts of corruption, such as shielding real
criminals, and sharing in the profit of
criminal acts. When citizens are at the
mercy of kidnapers or conspirators, whether
in uniform or out of it, the question
whether there is any real protection in law
becomes vital one.
1t is certainly to be hoped that if the
facts are as stated there will be whole
sale cleaning out of the Detroit police
force But the cleaning out should com.
prise securing for police officers, who have
been active in the effort to convict inno-
cent men, long residence in the Michi-
gan penitentiary.

PROVING IT'S usEFuINFss

The letter from Chancellor Holland, of
the Western University, upon the actual
condition and workings OF the Carnegie
Library in Allegheny, while giving no
more than a cursory observation, is reas-
suring to the believers in that educational
enterprise. In the midst of acknowledge
ments of the good purposes of Andrew
Carnegie there have from the first been
those who doubted the value of libraries
for the multitude in our DAYS. These
skeptics have in truth been more numer-
ous than supposed Doubtless the idea
of the ungraciousness of looking a gift
horse in the mouth has restrained most of
them from open criticism-but all the
same they have kept their opinions.
When the library lost its brand-newness
as gift-when the gloss of novelty wore
of, and it became an item of considerable
annual expense on the tax-list of Ale
gheny-criticS soon began to question its
work. The subject has been up among
Allegheny Councilmen, in re the coming
years appropriation; and it is possible
that not few taxpayers are Just now
thinking of the cost rather more than the
benefits.
At this juncture DR.. Hollands letter
upon the subject, which appears in another
column of THE DISPATCH this morning, is
decidedly timely. 1t tells in plain way
of the already large and growing public
use of the library; and it shows that even
in these days of cheap books, well-stored
public library is thing of popular use as
we'll as beauty.

carry out the full intent of the act with
regard to the summary enforcement of the
rulings of the Commission it does not, as
was at first thought, reduce the means
of enforcement to a nullity. 1t is per-
missible to infer that the order will
be eventually enforced unless the railroad
corporation is able to show good reasons
for reversing. The enforcement will be
retarded, and the procedure laid down by
the court puts it in the power of the rail-
road to delay proceedings and take an ap-
peal, simply by disobeying the orders OF
the commission. But it still leaves open
the hope of an eventual enforcement at
the lime in the future, when the resources
of delay at the disposition of the corpora
tons in equity proceedings have been fully
exhausted.
Ii is significant indication OF the strue-
gle over the question whether the rail-
roads can be made to obey the law that
the public has to be thankful for that
faint hope that the law will be triumph

LURED BY THE LIGHT.
Geese Dash Themselves to Death Against
the Tall Poles.

Geese Dash Themselves to Death Against
the Tall Poles.
HUTCHINSON KAN Jan. 10. The salt marshes
which extend for several miles in each di-
rection north OF the city are the fayorite re-
sort of thousands OF wild geese every sea-
son, as they apparently find certain food
substances there which suit their tastes
Some time ago this city concluded to use the
electric light for the streets, and some of the
lamps were placed high above the buildings
so that they could cast their light to great
distances. These lamps can be seen for
miles from the city, and have been the
guide of all the men who have been Delated
among the marshes.
The policeman on the beat was startled
several nights ago, when standing under the
light, to have some heavy body dash down
at his feet, barely m1ssin:. his head As he
stopped to see what it was he was knocked
fiat by some heavy body striking him
squarely on the back. When he recovered
sufficiently from his fright to gather himself
together he found he had been hit by j wild
goose During that night four of the wild
fowls were killed by being dashed to deaJh
against the poles, and for several nights
thereafter more were killed. The policeman
who made the discovery took the geese as
part of the perquisites Of his office and re-
called his family and friends upon the game
for some time.

wHAtEB.ckEp FIGHTING VESSELS.

1t is stated by an Eastern journal that
Captain McDougall, the designer OF the
whaleback freight vessels, is seriously
entertaining an idea that has been dis
cussed elsewhere rather as matter OF
| curiosity, namely, the construction of war
ships on the whaleback principle The
fault to be found with the statement is
that the idea has been discussed elsewhere
as a matter of curiosity.
Everyone who has given attention to
the claims in behalf of the whalebackS as
freight carriers must have recognized that
if these claims are fulfilled in actual prac-
tice, as they seem to have been, the whale
backs presents type admirably adapted
for the heavily armored warships of the
future The Monitor class, which has
never been excelled for fighting qualities
in smooth water, is heavily handicapped
by the unseaworthiness of that class of
vessels. But The voyage of the whaleback
barge, first to England and thence around
the American continent to Portland, indi-
Gates that here is type of vessel that
combines the impregnability Of the Moni-
itor type with the seagoing qualities of
the cruisers. Its sloping decks, from
which almost any shot must glance, per-
mits of perfect protection with much
less weight of armor than is neces-
sary for less protection on vessels
of high free-board. Its large tonnage
capacity indicates that after allowing for
the weight of armor turret and guns, it
could carry an amount of coal that would
give it q larger radius of action than can
be secured for the European battleships.
Its submerged PROV could be sharpened
and armored so as to combine with the
artillery power of its protected turret the
offensive qualities of the turtle-backed
ram-a naval ideal of thirty years stand
ing heretofore never realized.
Such possibilities IS these give point to
the suggestions of The DISPATCH that the
United States should, besides providing its
navy with cruisers of the best class, pro-
ceed tentatively in the line of construct
ing battleships. There is every reason to
believe that the whalebacked fighting
ship, properly worked, may work as great
moral destruction among the navies of
Europe as the Monitor and Merrimac did
in their day.

APPETIZING GRIEF.

The usual annual research into the ar
chives of Senatorial luxuries reveals the
regular evidence of the expense of
funerals, with the additional feature of
evidence of the hearty appetite that en-
ables the Senatorial mourners to bear up
on those sad occasions.
The funeral of Senator Wilson cost, ex-
elusive of the undertaker's bill, 81, ,029 5S
Of this sum SS45 5S was for meals. As
this allots $40 worth of provender to each
of the twenty Senatorial mourners, it is
evident that the grief of that sad occasion
was of the chastened variety, which en-
abled the bereaved Senators to take plenty
of sustenance for their perishable bodies.
The funeral of Senator Hearst was more
expensive one, costing $4,000. The exact
amount spent for victualing the grief
stricken Senators is not given, nor is the
cost of the stimulants used to revive and
console their depressed spirits. But sup
posing the proportion to have been the
each of the bereaved mourners exhibited
a heroic determination to bear up under
affliction by putting himself outside of
four hundred dollars worth of the
products of the caterers art. The Roman
heroism which keeps up the Senatorial ap.
petite on these occasions of grief is one of
the many striking and peculiar features of
that peculiar institution, the Congressional
funeral
This peculiar feature of the Senatorial
funerals seems to warrant tentative sug-
gestion that public men who possess the
phenomenal quality Of being made so very
hungry by mourning should lay in pri-
vate stock of viands for such occasions.
