of the Court, was inexpressibly shock
ed this morning to read of Chancellor
Runyons death. The sad news was ex-

be peculiarly appropriate that this mo-
ton should be made. On looking over his
career there is no name connected with
the roll of Chancellors whom one would de-

thoroughly alive to the growing needs

BALTIMORE TO BE LExowED.


Nl1sgOvernment and Corruption.
BALTIMORE, Jan q, 1S96.-The Re-
publicans of the State and particularly
of this city are encouraging widespread
investigation of Democratic rule and
methods during the thirty years that
party has held sway in the State and
city government. To that end a series
of resolutions providing for the appoint-
ment of an Investigating committee of
seven members of the Legislature will
be introduced in the House of Delegates
at Annapolis in a day or two, by Delegate
Frederick A. Bye of this city '.Balti-
mores Lexow' will also ask that the
committee be directed to report as to
the charges that Legislation has often
been a matter of barter eand sale'' that
"offices have been needlessly multiplied,' y
that salaries of public officials have been
needleSSly increased so that professional
politicians might the better maintain
themselves and their retainers''
One provision of the resolution relates
to ts-s oyster police force. 1t states that
<ssS torce is useless and expensive and
y lat appointments to office have been
habitualiy and Systematically made for
purely partisan purposes and without re-
gard to public interests.
Such a committee as the resolutions
call for has, under the Constitution of
Maryland, extraordinary powers 1t can
demand the custody of all books papers
and records and can imprison offending
officials. 1t is stated that Congress-
man John v. F. Findlay will be the ex-
amining attorney if the. resolutions are
adopted.

YOUNGER MEMBERS KICK.
Dissa tisfa ction in the Eoboke en- Police
Mutaul Aid Society.

There is likely to be a split in the
Hoboken Police Mutual Aid Society be-
cause of dissatisfaction among the mem
bers, the old being opposed to the new.
The young members say that the bene-
fits, as they are now, are enjoyed only
by the older members
They want things changed SO that a
member can derive benefit from the
society in case of accident, and also in
case Of the death of member of his
family.
Roundsman Cross and Doorman Dettes
of Police Headquarters are the chief
movers in the new plan. They say that
it is seldom any Of the younger officers
are sick; but that they are often hurt
and are compelled to have a physician
which incurss an expense which they
have to bear personally.
A meeting will probably be held be-
fore the month is out relative to form
ing new organization. The new society
will surely be organized unless the older
members are willing to concede to the
demand of the younger ones.
