Periodic Revelations of Iniquity.
The exposure of corruption and the
upturning of vice appears to have q
sort OF cycle in this country. Every
once in a while we have fermentation
which has its germinal spots In Wash

foams out e the rest of the country
to a greater or less extent.
Those whose memories extend back
to the DAYS of the Tweed exposures
cannot but see strong general re-
semblances between those days and
the present. There were the Credit

THE OLD VILLAGE SCHOOL.
Caused Much Amusement Last Night

at C~IareTmOnt Church.
The "Old Village SCHOOL, entertainment
which was given last week at the Claremont
Presbyterian Church was repeated by
special request at the church last evening.
The audience was one of the largest ever
seen at the church and the programme was
greatly enjoyed. Miss Adele Weber, the
well known elocutionist, who arranged
the cold Village SCHOOL, acted as teacher.
The scholars were pupils of the Sunday
schools. Like all village schools, this one be-
came engaged in an uproar, and Miss
Weber, Of course, had to correct them. The
answers which were given to her questions
were so ludicrous that the audience was
kept in a continued roar of laughter. The
scholars of the school were:-Misses Minnie
Dickson, Maggie King, Lizzie Wilson,
Emma Campbell, Annie Mckinney, Margie
Davidson, Lottie Weber, Martha Rowland,
Lille McGeown, Hattie Bidwell, May Bid
well, Agnes Morton, Mary Baxter,
Dickson, Alonzo Dickson, Alexander
Garrettson, A. Morton, j. Payne, T. Nc
Geown, James Mckinney, Chauncey Daniels,
l.. and ]. Livingston. During the evening a
number of excellent banjo selections were
rendered by a ~sextette from the Lenox Banjo
Club of New York. Recitations by Miss
Adele Weber were much enjoyed, and the
soprano solo by Mrs. j.. H. Gilmore was
loudly a~pplauded. Mrs. F. H. Molten sang
a number of alto solos, and had to reply to
encores. Mr.. William j. Machin, the clever
tenor, also rendered a number of solos in an
accomplished manner Mr.. Louis Dressler
was accolupanist. The proceeds, which
were large, viii be used in renovating the
interior of the church. augt n J4

Proposed Police Imitation.


So our Republican Police Commls-
sioners want to increase the force, DO
they? Twenty menu Well, well. Why.
we thought they were in there Tor
and reform, and not for posi-
lions to give away to the party work
ers.
Now, two years ago, when a very
large sum of money was expended Cd
the Police Telegraph and Patrol sys-
TEN. it was distinctly covenanted by
the then commissioners that no
extension of the force would be asked
for many years. 1t was distinctly
understood that the improved means
of communication would enable each
patrolman to do the work OF three
or four, especially in the sparsely set
tied districts.
President John p. Feeney Loyalty
kept his word in this matter last year.
He asked for no more men n he
asked for less money than the previous
year. And yet the city has been very
well guarded. There has been very
little crime, and what there has been,
has been of a picayune character.
ONLY one serious deed of violence has
marked the past twelve months-the
Barrowcliff case (the .Rupp case was
beyond the city limits)-and it is
really a stretch of imagination to say
that a larger police force would have
prevented that occurrence. We can
not always have an officer on every
block.
There is no excuse for the present
demand to be found in any particu-
lar growth or extension of the city.
No new section has been opened up;
no new streets have been opened to
speak of. Only a few scattered
houses have been built. The work to
be done in the coming year is just the
same as that of the present, and we
cannot see why it cannot be done by
the same number of men. Mayor
Wanser and the members OF the
Finance Board are trying TO n2ure
out this year a reorganization OF the
Fire Department on a permanent
basis without increasing the tax rate
It seems to us they have their hands
full in this problem. If they do this
the people will heartily approve, but
we doubt if a general course of all
around extension or imitation Of the
pay roll will meet with general favor.
Tax payers will be apt to think that
if there is any margin over the neces-
sary expenses of the city, it will be
better applied reducing the levy,
these hard times than in putting blue
coats and brass buttons on exigent
party heelers. .lo- se.ss5 to

ADJUSTMENTS.
A Good PLAY at Cordrav,s.

For a Million" the four-act drama
now running at Cordray's with Conchita
as the star. is sufficiently exciting to keep
an audience well interested from first to
last. 1t deals with a set of rough
characters. such as abounded in the
early days of California. whose stern quail
tiles for good or evil made them loved or
feared. as the case might be, and who
knew no law except that Of brute force
These stFoEg characters afford ssianty Of
experimentation some good acting, and the
present com pany supporting Conchita is
doing full justice to the reputation that
preceded It's coming, Conchita. the viva
cious soubrette, is in her element in the
part OF Daisy Bell, and her bright, spark
ling humor and SUGGESTIONS of good songs
throughout every one OF the acts, tosether
with a number of strong. pathetic scenes,
capture the audience and secure
for the little lady any number of we'll
merited applause. The other characters
are excellent and the performance gives
general satisfaction. The scenery is quite
feature in this play. many of the stage
settings being clever mechanical con-
triyances that materially enhance the de-
velopment of the play.

While Endeavoring TO Arrest Striking
Alabama Coal Miners.


BIRxISsHAz, Ala, July 24-War has
broken out again among the striking
miners. Since 3 o'clock this afternoon
two deputy sherifss have been killed. a
third fatally wounded and fourth badly
hurt. Two desperate strikers did 1t all,
and they are tonight surrou ndsd on the
mountain near CoaIburg, refusing TO sur
render.
This afternoon Deputy Sheriffs Charley
Cole and James Smith went TO the resi-
dence of r. III. Hudson, near CoaIburg
ten miles from here. to arrest his son
George on warrant charging participa-
ton in the Pratt mine riots. where half a
dozen negroes and deputies were killed
by strikers ten days ago. The Hudsons
are bad men. Old man Hudson recently
refused to vaeate the company's house at
Coalbnrg, and loaded it up with dynamite
preparatory to blowing IL up with himself
and whatever officers might attempt to ar
rest him in case an effort was made to
evict him.
When the two officers reached the house
they attempted to arrest young Hudson,
who resisted and drew q gun and began
firing. Ills father joined in the shooting.
The officers also began shooting. but
the Huisons were too quick. Deputy Cole
was shot through the heart, and died
instantly. Smith was shot in the breast
and died three hours later. The younger
Hudson killed both officers. Smith lived
long enough to tell the story of the killing
to the other officers who came to the res
cue. After the killing the Hudsons fed
to the woods both heavily armed,
