WHAT WILL THE NEW POLICE co1nIs-
SIONERS DO?

The public is anxiously waiting to
see what the new police comm ssion
will do about Mr.. Bauer's saloon License.
These are times that men of robust and
perpendicular backbone are needed. and
it remains to be seen if the new appoin-
tees are possessed OF that rare popularity.
1t is silly to say that any evil is
stronger than right. Police Commission
er Roosevelt of New York city has dem
onstratsd the fact that law is more
powerful than any pull or influence. The
duty OF the polics commissioners is as
plain as their noses; they are in office to
enforce the laws-that is all. Theirs not
to reason why; theirs but to do or re-
sign. They have no business to consider
whether law is a good one or not,
whether 1t is in the interests OF the peo-
pie or not. They have only to find out if
the laws are being enforced, and if they
are not, to see that Chief Glass. or soma
other chief. does enforce the dicta of the
statute books.
If they think that the law says that the
fallen women OF the city are to be turned
over body and soul to Mr.. Bauer; il they
think it says that they are to be corralled
behind fence on one OF the most i'm
portant thoroushfare, OF the city; if they
think the good citizens of Los Angeles
wish to become particeps criminis in
lin de steele slave trade-they are un-
worthy of the respect of the people, and
they will have to retire to private life, or
the Herald will know the reason why.

Two of the most notable criminal
trials that have taken place in this coun-
try for many years, were brought to
conclusion last week and in each case,
the verdict was guilty. The first was
that of Durrant, who murdered young
woman in a belfry loft in church
in San Francisco. Up to the time of
this tragedy Durrant had apparently
stood well in the community, though
evidence has since appeared that tends to
show that his reputation had outllved
his character. The evidence against him
was largely circumstantial, but it was
very strong and there is not the slightest
reason to doubt that his conviction was
Just. The other case was that of Holmes.
who has been a criminal all his life, his
speciality being the defrauding of life

TO prevent the exposure of his other
crimes. In all probability, half dozen
other murders can be justly laid at the

Don Dickinson's appeal to the Presi-
dent to set aside the treaty between the
United States and England by which
both nations agree not to build war YES
sells on the great lakes, so that a job on the
new navy may be given to a Detroit
con tractor, has been answered in the
negative, as it ought to be. The treaty
is for the common advantage of both
nations, but it is probably of more bene-
fit to us. In case of war under the exist
ing treaty, the great lakes would be
easily under our control, since we could
place upon them feet of fighting YES
sells far more quickly than Canada could.
But if we should break the. treaty and
build ships on the lakes, of course Eng
land would do the same, and feet Of

THE PRESS
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER.

NJ. Bourgeois has succeeded in forming
a new cabinet, but there is little ground
for expecting it to survive many months.
Indeed a few weeks is likely to see it
brought low by an unfavorable vote in
the chambers. There are SO many
groups in the French Parliament that
the task of any ministry keeping on good
terms with a majority of the members,
for any considerable length of time, is
an impossible one. Each group has its
own peculiar notions of what the gov
ernment's policy should be, differing in
some respects from those of every other
group. and to please majority OF them
requires an amount of twisting which
no ministry is capable of, for any length
of time

How much truth there is in the stories
telegraphed from abroad that the powers
ale working to isolate England, and
that even Germany is silent ally of
Russia and France, in the plot against
her, it is impossible to say. But there
are signs that English statesmen are anx-
ious about the future. Their speeches
are filled with gloomy forebodings, and
though theyEdo not directly admit that
there are breakers ahead, they do practical
~ confess that everything is not serene.
The crippling of English influence in
Europe and the East, and the exaltation
of Russia, would be distinct retrograd-
ing of civilization, for while England
has many hateful ways, while she is ar.
rogant and grasping, yet her supremacy
is much to be preferred to that of the
great northern power which has yet
scarcely emerged from barbarism.

THE AMMEN RAM.

Before the computations were actual
ly made there seemed to be a fair pros
pect that the Ammen ram had fulfilled
the government requirement. III regard
to speed. But the result is slightly be-
low, and by the strict letter OF the con-
tract the government can REJECT the
boat-indeed perhaps may be compelled
to reject her. AS this is the first vessel
of the new navy to fail to come up to
the speed specifications it would be quite
natural to attribute some fault to her
builders, the Bath Iron Works. Such i'm
putation would be uni ust. The Ammen
ram was an experimental vessel. Moth
ing like her had ever been built before
and just how she would act was largely
matter OF speculation. We have no
doubt the Bath Iron Works have got all
the speed out of her that it was possible
to get out of vessel built according to
her specifications. Perhaps the Bath
contractors were a little rash in under
taking to guarantee certain speed to
vessel of such novel design, but that
they have accomplished as much as any
CONTRACTORS cOulu, uOeS uou, VIZ 1ulHh, hu-
nit of doubt.
While by the strict letter of the contract
tho Secretary of the Navy may be COM
PEELED to reject the boat, the Hydes have
an equitable claim upon the government
to have their vessel accepted-at dis
count from the contract price perhaps
but yet taken. The speed is only slight
ly below the requirement and undoubted-
ly the ram will prove very serviceable
boat for the purposes she was designed tor.
Her failure to make the time specified
is undoubtedly the fault of her design
ers and not of her builders, and though
it can be said that the latter took the
risk when they accepted the contract, it
can be replied effectively that they had
right to presume that the government
had not imposed upon them an impossi-
bility-that it had furnished designs
which faithfully wrought out, would
produce vessel of the required speed.
The result has proved otherwise, and
it would seem grossly unfair under the
circumstances, to throw the entire burden
of pecuniary responsibility upon the COLI
| tractors.

An organization calling itself the
Anti Combine League of Ward %, Phila-
delphia, has resolved that the United
States government ought Immediately
to recognize the Cubans as belligerents,
and ought to look upon the first shot
fired by the British on the Venezuelan
frontier as an act of hostility answerable
only by war. Yet we imagine If the
responsibility of plunging this country
into war were placed upon the Anti
Combine League it would stop and
consider good while, even after Eng
land had committed the first act which
it declares to be a sufficient cause for
war; Responsibility would have a very
SOLDERING effect even on this jingoish
organization.

SCHOOL DIPLOMACY.

On morning in the early part of De-
cember, in the year 1876, 25 or 30 pu-
pills, comprising boys and girls of differ
snt ages, were standing in front of
country schoolhouse in central Illinois
They were awaiting their new teacher,
who was on this day to open the winter
term of school.
The young people were all engaged
In conversation. There were many spec
ulations as to the appearance of the per-
son who had been intrusted with the
tutorship of the rising generation in
district No. 8. Numerous opinions were
expressed as to the success or failure of
the forthcoming term.
A short distance from the main body
of pupils five big boys were congregat-
ed These talked in earnest tones. The
Oldest as well as the largest of the
group was Sam Gaines, coarse boned,
robust looking fellow Of 20 years. He
was the center of attraction and did
most of the speaking. 1t was evident
that his comrades looked upon him as
sort of leader.
1.-THE directors of this deestrict can't
hev much of an eye for bizness," said
Sam. LAS winter we cleaned out three
strappin schoolmasters The year before
we licked one man and sent him away
with scars and bruises, while three wo-
men left a-bawlin. Now they hev hired
q city belle, and ] s'pose she is badly
stuck up, but reckon we'll soon show
her the ways Of deestrict No. g."
"You just bet your life" said John
Sanders, who was in size ranked next
to Sam. eff the purity girl doesn't know
the history of No. 6, she will be treated
to fine s'prise party"
Suddenly girl made her appearance
in the yard and walked briskly toward
the schoolhouse. She was perhaps not
more than 1S years of age, slight Of
stature and handsome. One could per-
ceive at a glance that she was endowed
with keen intellect.
The pupils craned their necks to catch
glimpse of the newcomer, who was
Miss Laura Thomas, the teacher. The
young lady bowed graciously to all and
smiled sweetly. Then she hastened into
the schoolhouse.
Having arrived in the schoolroom,
Miss Thomas seated herself in the arm
chair behind the teachers desk and
looked around with the greatest compo-
sure. She knew full we'll the unsavory
reputation of the school which she was
about to manage. She had learned ere
she signed her contract with the direct
ors how her predecessors had fed from
their duties in confusion. Indeed she
