THE NEWS TURN NOW.

The Providence News has methodical
way, peculiar to itself, Of punching with
n sharp stick the more vulnerable OF its
contemporaries, from which those OF the

diversion for the NEws.-P V. ID.

THE anxiety of the Democratic lead
ers to protect "the people" of the
Western states from the Republicans is
in strong contrast with their declared
opposition to the federal elections law.
The people in any state can easily Sc
cure to themselves the execution of
their will as expressed at the polls with
out the aid of the Democratic national
committee, its lawyers or its advice.

REFORM BY AGITATION.

New York is indulging in "a peculiar
sensation just now. A popular preacher
is making a raid on vice and the police
department that for vigor and persist
ency has probably never been equalled.
Neither has its methods ever before been
adopted by any crusade that has been
made within the memory of man.
The preacher in question is DR..
Charles III. Parkhurst, of the Madison
avenue Presbyterian Church. He is
assailing the police department of the
| city in fashion that attracts the atten-
tion of the whole country. That his
attacks have touched vital spot is
made evident by the fact that phlegmatic
Supt. Byrnes has opened his mouth to
reply to the charges of the minister, and
that his replies, though long and fre-
qnent, have not had the effect to divert
the public's attention and sympathy or
to modify Dr. Parkhurtss attacks.
or course there arises The question of
the expediency of the methods adopted
by this fiery crusader. He drags vice
into the view of the public with re-
lentless and pitiless hand and he
points to it, breaches about it, writes
and talks about it all the time, and de-
mands of the police department the
reason for its existence there. He is
very shrill in his yocalization, and not
altogether consistent or logical. But
the vice he describes is there, fostering
and corrupting the life of the city.
There isn't the slightest doubt of that.
Neither is there any doubt about the
indifference Of the police. There is law
enough, but there is not the disposition
to enforce it.
Much the same condition of things
exists in all cities Of any size. The
laws ore not enforced. They cannot be
enforced. Public sentiment will not
sustain any police department in liter
ally enforcing the laws. We do not,
of course, intend to justify such state
of things, but that it exists need not be
denied
The fact that it is impossible to en-
force the laws strictly tends to make
police departments careless and induces
them to extend the laxity farther than
the public will justify, as seems to have
been done in New York.
1t is nice question in ethics to de-
eide whether or not Dr. Parkhurst is
justified in his course. IL will be de-
cided by every person according to his
own prejudice and intelligence. There
is no possible common ground for an
estimate that can be considered per-
fectly just. 1t can only be hoped that
the result will be, on the whole, good.
