MYSTERIOUS BADGES IN HoBoKEN
The Police Won't Tell why They
Wear the Shield.

number of the Hoboken patrolmen
Were seen about that city this morning
wearing a small badge upon which was
the following inscription
p. P. B. A. Hoboken No. 2."
When any of them was asked about the
badge they merely smiled and walked
away. The badge resembles very much
the ordinary police shield, only it is about
one-ffth of its size. 1t is said that the
shield signifies a membership in the Sc
cret Police Mutual Benefit Association
about which there was considerable talk
when the organization originated.
Superior officers are excluded from the
association, for it is said that It was
formed for the purpose of paying the fines
of patrolmen who get into trouble.
The Hoboken firemen short time ago
tried to organize a similar society, known
as the Blue Shirts but it was defeated
by the Commissioners. The policemen as

A COUNTY official is elected for
one term. Sometimes he is honored
with a second term. The one term
is the rule and the second is the
exception. Every official is ex-
pected to do as well as his predes-
cessor. If he fails, he merits the
disapproyal Of the people. II he
succeeds in doing only as well, but
no better, then he has simply paid
the debt Of gratitude for his elec-
ton, and the people owe him
nothing. If he improves on his
predecessors record and does par
ticularly well, then he may posi-
bly, claim a second term as his
reward. Taking as true all the
figures that Judge Duncan has
exhibited in defence Of his record,
and giving him full credit for all
he has done, and overlooking in
charity, the mistakes of his admin
istration, he has done only about
as well as his predecessor, but not
one whit better. In that event,
the county owes him nothing. He
and the people are even. Then
upon what does he base his claims
for reelection.

on property with only a fair margin
at old.time values, when the power
of the debtor to pay is taken away,
he finds himself compelled to take
property robbed ofits value. That
it would be downright dishonesty
to legislate to enable the debtor to
repudiate just financial obligations
is not disputed, but it is equally
dishonest, and productive Of more
hardship, to increase by legislation
the obligations and burdens Of the
debtor for the creditor, II is easy
of comprehension why England,
the creditor nation Of the world,
should favor contraction Of the
worlds money and q limitation Of
money metal. Having no silver
mines Of her own, and being a
purchaser Of both silver and food
products, it is equally easy of
comprehension why she should use
every effort Of diplomacy and
Legislation to diminish the value Of
both, but why the United States, a
debtor nation, with extensive silver
and vast stores Of food products to
sell, should voluntarily assist in
carrying out the same policy, and
diminish the value Of her own

bearing obligations, are interested
in legislation that makes money
dear, and everything else cheap;
who, not engaged in productive
industries themselves, are anxious
TO secure the product Of the toll of
others at the least possible outlay.
AS business and population expand,
our monetary needs will be con-
stantly supplied from silver mines
on American soil, owned by Amer
lean citizens, worked by American
miners, who in turn supply their
needs from the production Of other
American workmen. How this
result, if accomplished, placing in
circulation the entire product of
our silver mines, not needed for
other uses, and will not exceed
probably 80 cents per capita, will
disturb. business or commerce or
prove detrimental to our financial
system, I am at a loss to see.
In this contest it is greatly to be
regretted that the 0regonian, right
upon SO many questions, should, in
the opinion Of many of its staunch-
est friends, be wrong upon this,
should throw the weight Of its vast
influence upon the hand that, while
expressing other people, bears with
equal hardshipupon the proprietors
Of the Oregonian. The heart of the
editor is generally in the fight
place and sympathizes with those
who are wronged and oppressed,
and it ought TO be so in this matter.
With the 0regonian on the right
side Of this question, the entire
west would present a solid front
against those who are doing us
financial wrong and laying weary
burdens upon those least able ia
bear them. THOMAS H. Tongue.
