NEW YORK POLICE.
What the People Owe to It's Vigor and
NlgilanCe.

Vigilance.
These anarchists are as much bent upon
wrecking the American kepu bile as the
French anarchists are bent upon wreck
ing the French Republic. and if they have
not gone as far here as there, the fact is
due to tho vigilance and vigor Of the New
York police.
Every intelligent person knows that
during the past ten years anarchists have
kept the leading cities of Europe in ter
ror and dread. They have demolished
public buildings, caused loss OF life under
the most lamentable circumstances, and
not stopped short, as in France, of bomb
throwing i'll the very halls OF legislation.
Every well-informed person also knows
that whenever anarchists are driven from
Europe they seek the shores of the United
States, and first OF all the City of New
York. Here each new arrival is well
comed as hero by those anarchists who
had come before, and they hold rejolcings
and jubilees, which show the strong fel-
low-feeling existing between the enemies
OF society. will say no more than that
all such arrivals are carefully watched by
the New York police, and that although
those dangerous characters have flock ed
to this city as Mecca from Europe, they
have not dared to perpetrate any outrage
within our city's boundaries, or to cause
any serious public commotion.
Here In New York NE have had no
Haymarket slaughter, and no attempt TO
repeat on American soil the outrages
which terrorized Europe. And the credit
for this, [ repeat, is due to tho vigilance
and vigOr of the New York police. That
vigilance and vigor must not be allowed
to suffer any relaxation. The police of
New York must hold the van in the con-
tiict against the foes of our social system,
and must be ever ready TO act with the
swift and irresistib bic force that at all times
distinguished the veteran guard of Napo-
leon, against every form of crime that
menaces the rights of society in general
or of the individual acknowledgement

The real, permanent prosperity of the
whole State can be secured only by mu-
tual cooperation aud assistance. The
city and country must grow together.
San Francisco will have half million
people when the condition of the country
warrants it, and not before. There Is too
much city for the country business to
support, and the country business must
be increased or it will be hard times in
the city. This fact seems to be fully re-
allied now by all parties, aud hence the
bined movement for progress and
improvement by helping one another.
The future is full Of promise. and every
Californian has received fresh infusion

A WORD to you, gentlemen of the Board
of Trustees; ''get in'' this evening and
relieve Assistant Engineer Montgaillard
of that useless duty for which he is un-
paid, of ringing the larger fire bell at at
night. 1t is a silly and useless custom,
the annoyance and Stiffness of which
have been made clear by the RECORD
UNION by citing specific instances during
the last two or three weeks. The city is
to be full of visitors this week, and they
will open their eyes wonderfully wide
with surprise when they hear that
clamorous bell, and are told the reason ~
for its banging. The ordinance requir-
March 28. 1881, fourteen years ago, and
that fact constitutes therefore fourteen
reasons for the repeal of section Qeav-
Ing section l, prohibiting children from
running on the streets at night, which
requires the bell TO be rung, to be re-
pealed. By the way, if the Trustees re-
fuse to repeal section as desired by the
people, the Chief Engineer may work
reform by giving the old bit of bronze
one tap. The law does not say that he
shall order it struck any number of times;
simply "ring it," and, ringing it once, as
it is hammer and not swing bell, as
fully complies with the law as to bang
away at it all night.

IF postofiee returns are indices of re-
turning prosperity it is already here, for
the completion of postal statistics for the
year 1894 give these results: The gains
in receipts for the year 1894 over 1893 in
the principal cities are as follows, In
round numbers: Baltimore, SIS, 900; Bos-
ton, 5000; Buffalo, S2O,0 600; Chicago,
S25, 100; Cincinnati, $I5,0OOi Milwaukee,
$4,000; New Orleans, $4,000; New York,
$40, 900; Philadelphia, S23, 900; Pittsburg,
$4,000; San Francisco, 1900; st. Louis,
$4,000; Washington, $1,000. The small
gain in Chicago is accounted for from the
fact that 1898 was the year of the Worlds
Fair in that city, which swelled it's postal
receipts. The small increase of San
Francisco is unaccounted for.

THE Trustees should no longer hesitate
about the serial Improvement law
scheme. The State law has been so fully
explained and all objections to it so COM
pletely answered by the editorial article
in the RECORD UNION of the 9th inst, and
again by the catechismal article in this
paper on the 10Th inst, that there is moth
ing left to be said upon the subject. The
people wish the law to be put in motion;
it is optional with them to avail of 1t or
not; it can do no one any possible harm
and will relieve many poor man of
hardship; it will kill off remonstrance
against local improvements aud corre-
spondingly will give public spirit and in
ternal improvement of the city new and
great momentum. It will give the un-
employed employment enable the people
to do that which they wish to do but have
not the ready cash for in many instances.
If after all that has been said and ex-
plained-though the law is as plain and
simple as a B C-there is still opposition
to permitting the people to avail OF the
State law, it will be evidence of muIish
stubbornness, narrow intelligence and
hide-bound and unreasoning prejudice.

The RECORD UNION is desirous of COM
municating with those who can give it
information concerning men and women,
natives of the State of Indiana, or who
came to that State in early youth, who
became citizens of California and have
made notable impress upon the history
OF California for good, ia professional
life, art, letters, mechanics, agriculture,
arms, commerce and general trade, or as
publicists and officials. Names and
some data that will enable the full facts
to be searched out will be received with
thanks and due acknowledgment made.
AS indicating the character of men
whose history in California it is desired
to trace, it may be stated that Hon.
Newton Booth, Governor of Califor-
mia, General John +. Miller, soldier and
Senator, President Jordan of Palo Alto,
A. L. Hatch, the horticulturist, Charles
Crocker. merchant and railway builder,
were either natives of Indiana or came
to that State in early youth, and from
that State to California.

THERE is talk of an insanity plea for
Durrant, though mis- attorneys have not
said anything about it. But if such a
plea is advanced it is equivalent to ad-
mission of guilt. In case it is interposed
it will not follow that Durrant should
not be punished. If guilty and insane,
his dementia is of the order for which
the hangman's necktie is the only specific.
The fellow if guilty is sane enough to
hang. But this idea of Durrant being
insane, or possessed of an irresistible
impulse to take life, is all CANNON.

If municipal elections have any indica-
tive political value, then the Republican
party is making decisive and long ad-
vaucss. The recent elections in Boston,
Philadelphia, Chicago and st. Louis give
those cities over to Republican control by
an aggregate majority of ll9, 900. In three
of these cities the Democracy had control.
New York, Brooklyn and Cincinnati
earlier went over to Republican adminis-
tration along with a score of small cities
holding elections since the Democratic
tidal wave of 1892, and some of them
prior to the sweep of the Republicans in
1894.

The people who think they have lived
on earth before this life are to hold con-
vention in Boston, on the 28th inst. They
propose to reaffirm their belief that man
lives many lives on earth; that "if he is
happy or unhappy in this life it is be-
cause he is having measured to him what
he meted to others in a former life" But
this theory of the Theosophists has one
fatal defect q weakness that deprives it
of any possible virtue it might have in
common estimation. If punishment in
the second or third stage of earthly life is
evidenced by human suffering, and this
is visited upon men because of sins of in
justice committed while in an earlier life
stage, why is knowledge of the fact con-
cealed from the sufferer. OF what value
is the infiction of punishment if its re-
cipient does not know why and for what
it is administered?

THE publication ofcolumn after column
ofanonymous and scurrilous letters by the

murder case is the lowest level to which
mean sensationalism has yet descended.
The anonymous letter, with here and

best. 1t is cowardIy and mean, and
ought to be condemned by all men. But

silly and senseless letters signed by no

threats against people who are not in
volved in the tragedy, who have no op-
portunity 10 know their assailants, who
cannot prove negatives and who are help
less in the hands Of their cOwardly as
sailants, the agency that gives publicity
to the letters puts itself upon the low

guilty, but it is on the basis Of testimony
that has not undergone the test the law
applies for the conversion of testimony
into evidence; the public curiosity is
natural, it ought to be reasonably salts
fed by publication of all known facts
but the printing of scores OF anonymous
letters suggesting vague and slanderous
theories, assailing religion, libeling the

blackening character and impugning mo-
