Chief of Police Pratt has been super
seeded by Captain Samuel Paul. Cap
tain Paul was formerly head of the
police department and made a good
clean record. a record that was a
credit to himself and the city. In the
future, as in the past. he will make a
competent, honest official and the in
terests and the protection of the lives
and property of the citizens will be
his continual and watchful care.
Mr. Pratt, whom he supersedes, also
has q record that is credit TO him
self and the city. and his constant en-
deavor was to give absolute safety to
the lives and property OF the citizens,
in which he succeeded most admirably.
When he first became head of the
police department it was by the votes
of the people, and ne still has their
confidence.
It cannot be denied that the law
creating the police and fire commission
has not met the expectations of the
people, it has been a disappointment
in almost every respect. When Cap
tain Paul was formerly chief of police
there was no commission and it was
a much easier matter to maintain GER
tain discipline and suppress insub-
ordination than it has been under the
present law It has been an obstruc-
ton rather than an aid to efficiency in
the police and fire departments.

''The facts surrounding the recent
fight in San Francisco only emphasize
the degenerate character of the mer

SOME EDITORIAL COMMENTS.

Butte Miner: The Democratic party
VIII meet in national convention in 1900
under call of the national committee ap-
pointed at the regular ma tional Demo-
cratic convention of 1896. The regui -
Democratic party which declared for sill
ver last June will again raise the ban
the battles of the people as against the
European dictators. The Republican
partys organization in 1900 will be in
control OF the goldites.
Anaconda Standard: If it is true that
there are to be no wines or liquors in the
White House during the new admins
tration, Mr. Cleveland will not be
tempted to pay his successor any social
calls, not by jugful.
Denver Republican: During the session
of congress which begins today a strong
effort should be made to secure the pas
sage of enabling acts for New Mexico,
Arizona and Oklahoma. They are en-
titled to admission, and of New Mexico
especially it is true that it has waited
much too long for the right to erect a
government of its own. There is dan
ger, however, that opposition TO the elec-
ton of additional free coinage senators
VII prevent some members from voting
Arizona and New Mexico.
San Francisco Examiner: Scientists in
rounding up the microbe are rather over
d
lurking danger in fresh eggs; provided, OF
course, that the eggs be not thrown, in
which case all bets are. off. There must
be a microbe of emotional science yet to
capture.
Globe-Democrat: The statistics show
that since last July the shipments of ap
pies TO Europe have been from 10000 to
175,000 barrels a week. the total up TO De-
cember l exceeding 1. 10000 barrels, which
surpasses all previous records. This is
one of the American products for which
the foreign demand is constantly in
creasing, with but little competition from
other countries.
Atlanta Journal: President Cleveland
has struck back in an effective manner.
1t is a poor rule that does not work both
ways, and we would be very foolish to
let Germany enjoy the full benefits of
exemptions in our ports and markets
which she denies TO US. Germany is pur-
suing a policy of isola non, which, if con-
tinued, must prove disastrous to her. She
is becoming the Ishmael of nations and
if she raises her hand against every other
power she must expect their hands to
smite her in return.
