PoLICE OUT OF POLITICS.
Illinois Chiefs Want some Measure of the
Sort Adopted.

CHICAGO, Nov. 16-Chief of Police
Sexton Of Rock Island, had a long con
ference with superintendent Brennan in
regard to the meeting of the Illinois I'm
ion Chiefs of Police, which IS to be held
at Aurora November %
.'The most important subject" said Mr.
Sexton, shat VIII be considered at our
meeting viii be a scheme to divorce the
police from politics. 10 not know how
that happy result can be accom- plished
but an interchange Of views on the ques-
ton at our meeting may help to bring it
about
81 think if we can agree on plan that
we viii experience no difficulty in secur-
Ing the necessary Legislation at Spring
field. 1t may seem strange to the public.
but it Is nevertheless true, that those
who are the most DESTROYS Of having the
police divorced from politics are the
police themselves. 1 have not met po-
liceman in any city who would not re
gard it as a boon to be relieved of politi-
cal influence
These views were concurred in by
superintendent Brennan.

Ono Of those good women who are al

longings sat behind young lady who
had large velvet bow attached to the
back of her neck. 1t had become loose,
but in no danger Of falling, but the good
dame could not resist the opportunity.
= You're losing your bow, miss she
whispered in her ear.
The girl grabbed the arm of the young
man next her and instantly retorted:

NEW YORK ANTI-PASS LAW.
Chauncey Depew Says 1t Saves the New
York Central 100000 a Year.

1Oria central %-OsOOO a AGaF.
New YORK., Nov. 4 The somewhat
startling proposition was made by a num-
Der Of politicians at the Fifth Avenue
hotel yesterday that Chauncey NJ. De-
pew, president Of the New York Central
railroad. would be unable, aztec Janu-
airy, 1895, to ride on a pass over the New
York Central, for the reason that he was
a state officer, being a member of the
state board Of regents.
"HOw are you going to ride on pass
under the law" he WAS asked.
Nv ell, to begin with, | don't ride on
pass" said Mr.. Depew, land if I was in
the habit Of doing So, [ should keep
right on. As an employe Of the New
ork Central 1 should be entitled tc free
trans portation if the com pany saw fit to
grant Il. 1 say free trans portatiOn. but it
Is not free. correctly speaking. to the
amploye Of a railroad 1t is a part of his
wages condition Of the contract the
company makes with him.
''HOW much. to give rough estimate,
win the New York Central save by the
doing away Of pass giving to legisla-
tors"
That's a hard question to answer of
hand, but, 1 should say, that, on an av-
erage. every legislator got ten passes
from Us during the session. besides his
personal pass"
.sIIas not the confidence of the railroad
companies been abused right along in
this pass -giving.''
NO doubt 1 know of many cases
where assemblymen have begged passes
for their friends, and the ink would hard
" dry on them before these alleged
friends would sell them to ticket scalp
ers, and at reduced rates Last winter
we caught a wealthy man up the state
selling pass which the assem Glyman
from his county had procured for him .
According to Mr.. Depew's estimate,
which allows ten passes to each mem Der
of the legislature, besides his own, the
New York Central Will be the gamer

CoIUMBUs. o., Nov. 17-Colonel Colt
who has been declared guilty of murder

He said
Nothing could surprise me more than
that an officer of the law in our great
state would make such a finding against

his duty That the verdict Is wholly un-

As I said before, I am deeply sur

any public official should see fit TO act as

A Wall From Gotham.

Reduce all New York city car fares to
s cents. 1t is quite enough and will be
a prelude TO the revocation of the street
railroad franchises, which should be done
without delay. The pavements and side
walks of the city are in a ~disgracefuf col.
dition. Let the city u the cars for the
benefit of the people, and the surplus
profit could he devoted to giving New
York the finest streets il. the world. The
street monopolists nave ha1their innings:
the people now want a show.
Let us make it an election issue-'The
streets for the people"-and crush the
monopolists. If we have to pay toll t.
use our streets. let rs pay it to ourselves
and not to the impudent grabbers wine
now occupy them under the law and levy
tribute on citiZeus.-Hallo.
