Public expectation has been fully real
lied and of all our city departments
none give the public greater satisfaction
than these. Yet. we are now actualIv
asked to abandon the system that ma
served us so wen. and disorganize both
the departments!
Oigh. we 10 do so? No; not unless
our deliberate design Is 10 Impair the ei-
lciency OF the two most important de-
partments Of our city government.
If the proposed change Is adopted. TINS
community will see the time when IL VIII
very heartily regret 1t.
At present, we gricvc TO say, TOO many
OF our people are Indifferent as to this
question. They have given IL no thought
and don't know the seriousness OF II. IL
they would but coneider what is threat
ened by the change. and In the event that
II is made. how soon many OF the peo-
licomen and fireInen would begin to work
so as TO have political pulls on the
commissioners. the people would rise up
against the proposition.
The Dispatch is trying to persuade the
people TO give this matter due thought
before the day Of the Democratic pri-
mary election. If 1t succeeds, the Fire
and Police departments will be let alone
by the Legislature; If it falls, the amend
ments will be adopted, and both depart
ments will be recognized. That's the
case, plainly stated.

sale Of Lfauor by Climbs.

The Police Commissioners of New York
now propose 70 extend their crusade
AGAINST Sunday mquor-selling to the so
cial clubs OF that city. But Mr.. Frederic
r. Coudert. one OF the most distinguished
LAWYERS in this country. does mot think
that II can be claimed. without doing
violence 10 the intent and language Of the
law, that q private club may be invaded
by the police. and that those VINO

The New York Herald says That 'aii

for n host to serve wine to his guests
in his own house on that day.

We take It that Mr.. Roosevelt and his
associates merely wish to have the New

The Charter Amendments.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
one Of the most astounding propositions
that I have seen in long time IS that
TO elect by popular vote the chiefs ana
boards Of the commission on police ana

II is far better TO foster the idea OF
selecting more commissions, say on
finance. water, and streets.
Why. the Fire and Police departments
are The par excellence Of our city depart

Scnator Mills on Free Coinage.

United States Senator Mills. of Texas,
Is out in a long letter on the silver ques-
ton. IL is evident that he Is not with the
free sllverites, but he says that he VIII
vote In the Senate 10 carry out the will
of his constituents. In their last State
Convention they declared against free
coinage. and he will so vote If in their
next State Convention they declare for
free coinage he will so vote. Here is
paragraph from his letter:
THE continued fall Of silver and the
progressive abandonment Of it as stand
ard of value by other countries has sepa-
ated the two metals so far that the con-
olusion has been forced upon my mind
that the United States alone cannot bring
them 10 par and keep them at par
throughout the world at that ratio.
would be glad to have all the mints of the
world open to the unlimited coinage OF
both gold and silver at IL IL 10 ! or 10 TO
/. But this Is result that cannot be
produced by any one nation. because no
one country 10 able 10 control the demand
and supply Of all the gold and silver in
the world We must ascertain what we
can do independently Of other countries
and what the best interests OF the people
of the United States require us to do"
There is much worthy Of perusal In Mr..
Mils's letter. We trust that the silver
question will be settled before the next
Democratic State Convention meets.

read as follows:
"The right Of citizens OF tho United
States to vote, or hold office, shall not
be denied or abridged by the United
States. or any State. on account OF race

But the Republican Senate refused to
insert the words cor hold office" The con-
sequence is that, IA we intimated yester-
day, South Carolina, or any other State,
can render negroes ineligible TO office
The Virginia negroes. and other Repub-
leans in this State did not leave the fif-

following provision:
Gan persons entitled TO vote shall be
eligible TO any Office within the gift of
