Emil Tondre, the green motor
man who ran over child with a

was fined $25 by the recorder to-

motor.
1t was proven that he was an in

tor tried but could not learn him
anything, and at length refused to
run the car with such man at the
motor. Tondre did not know how
to run the car forward or backward
and was apparently helpless.
The assistant city attorney, in
speaking of the result of this case
in court today remarked that the
company really ought to be fined
instead of the employe. The entire
court and spectators agreed with
him.

two police Off GERS, which if true showed
that they..wer not proper men for the
force. To satisfy himself on that point
and. to enable him to act intelligently,
Mayor Baxter instituted an investiga-
tion. How that investigation should
be made.was matter for his Judgment
solely He determined to make 1T IN
private, and in doing so he not only ex-
ercised his clear right, but he acted wise
ly. When he had satisfied himself as to
his duty he promptly removed both the
accused men from the force.
The Board of Aldermen, that it might
perform it's duty in connection with the
removals intelligently, very properly
instituted an Investigation, and asked
the Mayor for the evidence which mad
been drawn out in his inquiry, and 1t
was promptly given them. The evidence
convinced them. as it shad sthe Mayor,
that the good of the police force and the
welfare of the citizens demanded the
removal of the.two policemen, and the
Mayors action was concurred in.
Neither the Mayor nor the Board of
Aldermen pronounced the two policemen
guilty of bri berry They were not called
upon to pass definitely Oh that point
If they were convinced that the good of
the force required .the removal of .the
men, that was enough. The duty of
the Mayor was then to remove and the
Aldermen to concur. The Mayor was
under no obligation to state specifically
for what the men were removed. If in
his opinion the good of the service de-
manded their removal it was his duty to
remove them. AS matter of fact the evil
dence did conclusively show that Nor
ton had accepted bribes. He confessed
that he mad done. so repeatedly Against
MIR. Miles the evidence was less
conclusive, though it was sufficient to
raise STRONG suspicion. There can be
no doubt, however. that his continuance
on the force in the face of the evidence
presented, and especially his own con-
fession that he had been at the ST. James
Hotel of an afternoon with other COM
pany when beer was brought in to the
room and drunk, would have done it
grave injury and gone far to destroy
public confidence in it,

THEPoLIoE SCANDAL.

The public now knows just what
amount of truth there has been in the
multitude of rumors that have been in
circulation for some weeks past, reflect
ing upon the integrity of the police force.
The great majority Of the patrolmen
stand unimpeached by anything worthy
the name of evidence. Two of the force,
one upon his own confession, and one
upon evidence which the public is now
acquainted with, have been shown
to have been guilty of practices not
merely unbecoming an officer,
bus contrary TO good morals.
There has been good deal of loose talk
about "star cham ber" Investigations and
lnsinuatione have been thrown out that
there would be an attempt to shield the
guilty parties. There was never the
slightest foundation for any such ac-
cusations.
The responsibility for the police
force has been devolved directly
by law upon the Mayor of the city, and
every appointment and removal must
come through him. The law no more
contemplates that he should organize
court-and make formal inquiry accord
ing to the rules OF judicial procedure
to determine whether or not the good
ofithe service requires the removal of
an officer than that he should pursue
this course in determining whether a
candidate for the force is fit for appoin-
ment. The law which was on the stat
ute book several years ago did contem-
plate a formal trial by the Board of AL
| dermen and conviction on specific
charge before q policeman could
be discharged. But experience
showed that plan wasS destructive of
discipline, and it was abandoned. The
only restraint on the Mayors power to
appoint and remove is the requirement
of the statute that the aldermen shall
concur in his action. But the removal
must be made by the Mayor. 10 enable
him to act intelligently it may be necs
essary for him to make inquiry as to
an officers character, and if charges
have been made against him to investl-
gate them, but this inquiry ana lnvestl-
CATION are to satisfy him and not the
moved. He is at liberty to make this
investigation il any way ne sees fit, the
responsibility is upon him, and the man.
Der in. which he shall execute it is a
matter entirely forshis own Judgment.

President Cleveland's 1mpatlence at

from his own, are strikingly exhibited
in the paragraph in his message that
treats of the statute for the protection
of American shipbuilding. That statute
is as.old as the.governmnt, and wss en-
acted by men as wise and patriotic as
the gentleman who now occupies the
Presidential chair. Repeated attempts
have been made to repeal it, but they
have never succeeded, public opinion,

ton, being opposed to it. But Mr.. Cleve-
land pronounces this statute maintained.

he ayailed himself of it, and his state

Kingsley's Hypatia in two volumes, pub
lished by Harper q Brothers. The bind

the lotus blossom and scarabees enclosed
in the mystic circle, suggest at once the
scene OF the story. The illustrations by
William Martin johnson are remarkably
fine, some occupying whole page,
while others are scattered through the
text on the wide margins. These illus
trations are delight from the frontis-
piece to the last page, and give the read
er new pleasure and interest in the

These little poems address an audience

various themes are wrought out-really
variations of the one theme-with tender

ment. 4 country gentleman, not oVer-

John Hampden: "Who is that man-
that sloven who spoke just now"
Hampden even then prophesed that the
"sloren" would become the greatest man
in England. Once mbarked in the c!Vh
war, the superiority of the Cavaliers
forced upon Cromwell the organization
of his famous Ironsides; then his own
fitness aud the success of his troops
brought to him naturally but slowly the
chief place in the army. Up to this time
no one could accuse him of false aElbl-
tion. 1t is in the use of the army to
purge the Long Parliament, to encom-
pass the execution of the king and finally
to overthrow all Parliamentary govern
ment and all authority but his own, that
Cromwell.has tested the patience of his
admirers. But the "cruel necessity" of
the situation is more reasonable motive
than personal ambition, even for these
acts. Cromwell sought Charles's life
only after he had repeatedly connived at
his escape; and only after he had.becone
convinced that the monarch was so ut
terly unreliable that no arrangement
whatever could be made with him. He
overthrew Parliament only when he had
reason to believe that it's errors or its evil
intentions would ruin the army and
break the strength of the Puritan party.
That party, he well knew, was all that
stood in the way of further disorders and
possibly the return of despotism also.
Oliver Cromwell believed himself an
instrument in the hands of God for a
great work; work for which no other
Englishman of the age was equal. Per-
haps the highest praise to his memory
was given thirty years after his death
when the English nation, again outraged
by the tyrannies and perfidies of the
House of Stuart, were forced to seek de-
liverance at the hands of mighty for
