1t has been established by the most
convincing proof that police captains
act as agents for certain brands Of
whisky and cigars, receiving a COM
mission from the manufacturers. The
saloonkeeper who refuses to buy his
liquor from "a certain firm is liable to
have his place raided. whenever he
keeps open after midnight, as all of
them do. The name of the brand of
cigars that finds favor with the police
is La Reforma de Nueva York This
is probably joke, but the frozen fact
remains that New York liquor and
cigar manufacturers have found it
necessary to organize and take con-
certed action to prevent themselves
from being ruined in business by the
uniformed agents of rival firms
And there is reason to believe that
only the surface of New York police
corruption has been scratched by the
investigating committee. 1t is not
unlikely that the police departments of
some other large cities are tarred with
the same brush as is that of Gotham,
but New York's claim for the cham
pionship cannot be successfully dis
puted. ALEX E. SWEET.

man can walk on both sides of the

there is no one to modest or make him

impunity and a pressure that would

The policemen on duty in the various
parks differ from the rest of the force
in appearance. The park policemen,
or sparrow cops" wear gray uni
forms, suggestive of the late confed-
eracy, while the others wear blue.
That's the only difference between
them. Being continually on duty
where they can hear the singing of the
birds and view the beauties of nature,
subjected to the refining influence Of
woman-the parks are full of nurse
girls-one might suppose that the park
policeman would be of sympathetic
nature, but such is not the case. He is,
if possible, more ferocious than the
blue-coated policemen, who are liable
to be contaminated by the saloons and
those who frequent them.
At the same time, the New York po-
lice have great heads for business.
They are not slow in adopting the good
suggestion of Iago: Put money in thy
purse, good Roderigo." Every imagin-
able form of vice has to pay tribute,
and many legitimate lines of business
have to pay for protection to avoid
being prosecuted and harassed. They
are out for the Doodle. In the game Of

THE SALE OF BONDS.
One of the Disastrous Results of Demo
cratic Financierirg.

One of the Disastrous Results OF Demo-
cratic Financierirg.
The call of Secretary Carlisle for
bids for another issue of fifty million
dollars of five per cent. bonds must
be regarded as an additional and i'm
pressive proof of the incapacity of the
democrats for the important work of
conducting the financial affairs of the
government Twice inside of twelve
months the humiliating expedient of
increasing the bonded Indebtedness to
meet ordinary public expenses has
been resorted to. and it seems likely
to become regular thing during the
rest of the present administration.
The people understand the fact, Of
course, that the selling of bonds in
this way is simply the negotiation of
a loan. as a private citizen borrows
money from a bank on his promissory
note. That is to say, the government
is doing business at loss, for the first
time since the war. Its receipts fall
short Of its expenditures month after
month, and the deficiency has to be
made good by increasing the interest
bearing debt of the nation. When the
democratic party took possession of
the government March 4. 1898. there
was a surplus in the treasury, and the
revenue was adequate for all purposes.
That satisfactory and encouraging sit
uation was soon changed, and we now
have the melancholy fact to contem-
plate that with the sale of the bonds
just advertised the public debt will be
one hundred million dollars larger
than it was when the republican party
retired from power.
1t is easy to say that this misfortune
is attributed to exceptional conditions
and special circumstances; but to what
are those exceptional conditions land
special circumstances attributab (?
The resources of the country have not
been lessened. There are the same
appliances of prosperity here to-day
that were here before democratic rule
was substituted fo- republican rule.
The soil is still as fertile as it ever
was, the people are as energetic as
they ever We're, capital is as abundant
as ii ever was, and there is as much
labor of all kinds as there ever was.
But these influences, heretofore so po-
tent, do not produce the results that
they did throughout the long period
of republican management of national
affairs. That period was distinguished
by a constant reduction of the public
debt The burdens of the people were
lightened from time to time. and all
industrial and commercial interests
were steadily promoted. 1t is different
now because the political conditions
have been changed. The government is
being carried on by party that is scan
dalously incompetent Its doctrines
and policies are inimical to the well
fare of the country. and all its tenden-
cies are in the direction of hard times.
That is what the new sale of bonds
signifies; and the verdict rendered in
the recent election goes to show that
the voters take this view of the mat
ter. and are determined to bring back
the old order of things as soon as pos
sible.-St. Louis Globe Democrat
