In Persia and that o. Monday in Canada. which
was felt also In three OF the States of New

OF tho year were related to any disturbances

By reason OF the lack Of teleRraphIc and
railroad communication with that part OF

best to soften the purport OF such facts as 1t

inquiry into the banking scandals shall be

ground that legal misdemeanors have been

In tho beginning OF April. 1892. the Hon.
GROVER CLEVELAND crowned his renomina-
ton campaign with an address in Provi-

election. Mr.. CLEvELAND's denunciation
OF Republican crime In tariff taxation never
before reached an equally exalted level OF
moral resentment. or an equally lucid state

received his resolute and terrible con-
domination as mere robbery. and this was
subsequently confirmed as the sentiment OF

Superintendent BYRNEs must hold the
Inspectors responsible for the performance OF
duty by the Captains whom he has ordered to
put their men ct service In the enforcement Of
tho street-cleanine ordinances. He has once
again given explicit instructions to all Captains
ofpolice regarding this subject. but he had bet
ter make provision this time that his instruc-
tons shall be obeyed. or. at least. shall not be
utterly disregarded. as they have been at other
times.
Superintendent ANDREWS OF the Street Clean
Ing Department has repeatedly declared that
he cannot perform his duties properly without
police assistance. or unless the police make
serious attempt to enforce those provisions Of
the corporation ordinances which are con-
stantly violated by so many Of the house
holders and business firms in the city. Mr.
ANDREWS has right to the help OF the police.
We suppose that Superintendent BYRNEs
will require reports from tho Inspectors who
keep watch Of the Captains, who have their
SerReants TO aid them in seeing that the
men obey orders. II any officer sub
ordinate to the Superintendent fails to mind
his business, let him be hauled up at Head
quarters, that thus discipline may be pre-
served. and the city get tho full worth OF the
millions expended upon the police force.
