STREETS Nay BE MlDE CLEANER YET.
Prof. Chandler Says the New Inv Has Not
Been Carried Fully Into Eject.


Mayor Grant received yesterday letter from
Prof. Charles +. Chandler of Columbia College
member Of the Advisory Committee which
framed the law providing for the present sys-
tenn of street cleaning. Prof. Chandler says
tho law has not been put in force in its en-
ura:y. and suggests that n liberal aprortion-
ment he made for the coming year. SO that the
Commissioners 0. Street Cleaning will not be
ha.npcred in his work OF recognizing the de-
raitment by lack Of funds.
The defects which Prof. Chandler points out
ar" that piles OF dirt arc allowed TO lie in street
cutters: that covered carts arc not used: that
the block system of hand swccpinc has not
been established. and that thn law relating to
the StoraEcof carts and trucks in tho streets
seems not TO have been enforced
The Professor says that 1t is not his object
to attack the administration of Commissioner

his industry aud zeal. and 'indor whose direc-

Checking Arrest Agents.

The determination of the Board OF Police
Justices on Monday night, to issue hero
after warrants OF arrest only on the appli-
cation OF responsible or duly authorized
persons is first and long step In favor of
abatinG what has come to be a scandalous
abuse of tho powers OF police tribunals nv
the agents of sclf-constituted societies
The law presumes that before an indi-
vidual should be deprived OF his liberty bv
summary method Of arrest. reasonable
cause for the issuance of q warrant should
appear. In the cases which ordinarily
come before the police magistrates in the
first instance. such warrants are issued on
atiidavts setting forth the nature of the
crime alleged to have been committed, and
the reason for surprising that the law has
been violated IL must DE signed and sworn
to by the individual making the accusat ion.
With the multiplication of societies of
the PARKHURsT and DIXON order, and
the appearance OF a swarm OF "agents," for
which. among other evils. they are d.
rectly responsible. the pernicious practice
has grown up among these "agents" OF Sc
curing warrants OF arrests which are used
for the purposes Of terrorism OF extortion,
and which they arc under no legal oblisa-
ton to have served.
They arc applied for surreptitiously;
they are issued in secrecy. and once signed
there is no control over them by the regular
authorities. Superintendent BYRNEs pro-
tested against this condition of things
week ago. and pointed out the abuses it
occasioned. and the Board OF Police Justices.

THE BALTIMORE ARRIVES.

The United States cruiser Baltimore,
which has had such an eventful expert
ence in Chilean waters, has returned to
San Francisco harbor. The officers and
men of the Baltimore were not allowed
ashore, orders to that effect having been
given by the Navy Department.
Capt. Schley, however, told the story
of the assault as it had been told to him
by his men who were assaulted. This
account will, therefore, probably agree
with the formal depositions which viii
be taken on board the ship. Capt. Schley
said: There were thirty-four of my
men on shore, and they were all sepa-
rated in couples and trios or in parties OF
four or more. They We're within dis
trict covering a mile and half, and as
soon as the attack began it was at once
made general all through that district.
"The mob was divided into small de-
tachments, each numbering from 500
upward. My boys had no arms, and
were completely at the mercy of the
crowd. Whenever any two of the sail
ors turned on the mob, the latter gave
way, and fled before them. AS soon as
their backs were turned they came back
at them and howled and hooted, threw
stones and attempted to reach them with
clubs and bayonets."
This story will fairly represent what
may be called the theory of the prosecu-
ton. 1t does not place the Chileans il
a very favorable light, but the mob is
not the government, and there seems to
be disposition on the part of the latter
to apologize and make what reparation
is possible.

THE LITTLE BILLS.

Mr.. Springer, the chairman Of the
Ways and Means Committee, talks very
iauntily about his little bills. 1--WE will
take free wool first" he says in effect,
''and then free iron, free coal, free lum-
Der, free salt, free twine, free barbed
wire and few other things"
Dropping for the moment all consid-
Grafton of the economical wisdom of
these bills, what would be their politi-
cal effect?
Free wool would hurt the farmers of
Vermont and Ohio but less than those of
Texas, as industry is in the North more
diversified.
Free iron would strike blow at Re-
publican Pennsylvania and also at Dem
)cratic Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama.
Free coal we have already for the most
part, but it's nice sounding express
ion.
Free lumber would, so far as it had
any effect at all, hasten the destruction
Of our forests, already too rapid. We
have already free entry of lumber un-
sawed.
Free salt would be an unsavory war
cry in Syracuse, and New York isa 'piv-
otal' State; in Michigan, and the Demo
Gratis have there high hopes.
Free twine and free wire would hit in
a dozen places and pull at the pockets of
Democrats and Republicans alike.
The South can not win political bat
ties and elect Presidents without the
North. And the manufacturers are not
al Republicans.

what our Democratic friends so much
object TO when out of office-an appro-

West can be made much more produc-
tive by systematic irrigation, which it
is beyond the power of individuals TO
provide. The government must under
take the work. and might appropriately
collect sufficient water revenues to pay
the interest on its investments, much as
our city water authorities do. OF course
our Democratic friends would cry out
against such action as beyond the
powers of the government, but it is no
more so than the postoffice, the dyke

forestry officers in Germany. PETER
