OFFICER O,BRIEN'S CASE.

| The hearing on the charges of David o.
Black OF the Evening Times against Po-
| liceman O'Brien resulted in that officers
removal from the police force. This was
| accomplished in the face of overwhelming
| evidence, and is generally regarded as an
outrageous piece of work on the part of
Aldermen Edwin Darling, Philo +. Thayer
and J. Ellis White.
If the case had the slightest political in
fuence people could imagine that these
men, politicians as they are, might have
done something what they did on Tues
day. But the matter had no political sig
nificance, and the result is that the COM
munity is greatly ashamed of having these
men act az they have done.
The charge was very light one-merely
that the policeman took drink of liquor
while on duty. There was no pretence that
the man was intoxicated. Those were the
charges.
sustain the charge. The man who was re-
lied on-Mr. Fogarty-emphatically stated
that people were accustomed TO come into
the shop by the side door and call for
drinks and that, hearing some one come in,
and supposing that whiskey was called for,
took glass of whiskey to the side room
the officer said to him: 81 don't want any
whiskey. l came in to tell you that your
door was left open last night" The officer
did not drink the liquor. There was no
evidence at all but Mr.. Fogarty's on this
point. The officer denied drinking and
proved that he had knowledge that the
Times people were trying to get clue on
him.
Mr.. Back and his man Friday, Read, sa d
that Mr.. Fogarty brought a drink out of
the room and returned with an empty
glass. This Fogarty emphatically denied,
and Fogarty was Mr.. Blacks first witness.
The Mayor and the Board permitted hear
say testimony to be introduced, and broke
all the rules of any Court ever heard OF.
Finally they voted to remove the officer
from the force-these three did.
The action is wholly indefensible which
ever way it is viewed. The punishment is
so grossly excessive that a general outcry
has been raised all over the city.
The action of the Board is inexcusable,
and will turn up to bother the three men
in the future.
1t is expected that a writ of certiorari
win be asked for in this case, and Mr..
jerks may again be placed in peculiar po-
sition, because he sat by and advised,t
Board to hear improper and illegal testi-
mony.

NOT THE "OWNEY" NUISANCE.

owney, the dog who has made friends
all through the railway mail service of the
country, has found an enemy at Chicago.
The superintendent of that mail district
heard of Owney's arrival and promptly is
sued an order which suggests that he was
suffering from bilious attack. The order
forbids giving the dog transportation in
mail cars and continues in this fashion:
'If the dog were in any wise remarkable
for his intelligence there might be some
reason for paying attention to him. He is
only a mongrel cur, which has been petted
until the thing has become disgusting.
His riding about on the postal cars dis

THE COST OF OUR "ARMY"

The New York SUMS Washington expert
correspondent has just figured up for that
paper the cost of maintaining our few
sold ers as compared with the standing
armies Of the Old World. We have often
boast ID of our ability to get on with so
few soldiers, but when We come to look at
the cost We must confess to surprise.
OR army consists of $500 officers and
5000 men. 1t costs us S3,S00,0O0 year
Englandlhas 1850 officers and las, 600 men,
exclusive of India; they cost only S75, 5000.
0Oc. Germany has 1900 officers and 562,-
900 with 600 horses, aud it costs her only
1850, 900. France has 100000 men and
A., 900 horses and it costs her only $780,
100000.
There is something radically wrong in
the administration of our "War" depart
ment, surely.

THE FOLLY OF CHANDLER.

Senator Chandler has a unique idea of
personal rights. He evidently is unable
to draw any distinction between times of
peace and times of war. His proposal to
seize the armor plate factories of-the big
manufacturers and use them until the
government has obtained what it wants
shows deplorable lack of common sense
and sense of justice.
If property rights mean anything, they
mean that, with tie exception of the
emergency Of war, the property of man
is his to keep and use as he pleases, so long
as that use does not antagonize or jeop-
ardize the rights OF Others. A man may
own factory and lawfully refuse to man
ufacture goods for any person who will
not pay him the price he demands. 1t
could be said with equal logic to that dis
played by Senator Chandler that a man
who runs grocery or clothing store must
sell his goods for what his customers are
willing to pay him, otherwise they are
legally privileged to seize his stock and
help themselves on their own terms. Sen
ator Chandler should bear ini,mind that
the government has no more rights than
the individual Only in times of war,
when the absolute safety of the nation
depends upon 1t, is the government justi-
fed in doing what Chandler proposes to
do in times of peace.
Chandler is close to autocracy. We can
hardly believe that the astute senator was
in his right mind when he framed the bills
that he introduced into the Senate yester-
day. This 10 free and enlightened nation
and we had fondly hoped that Chandler
was q product of 1t, but we see that we are
mistaken.
As to Carnegie and others OF his ilk, It
must not be supposed for moment that
they could not manufacture armor plate
for 500 ton and make a reasonable profit.
This cry that they will shut up their plants
rather than make plates for $500 is in
tended as final example OF bluffing and
the majority of lawmakers at Washington
know 1t. II the armor people see that the
government will pay no more than 500
they will come to the terms rather than
lose the contracts.
The Illinois Steel people were willing to
undertake the job provided they were
given an exclusive contract for twenty
! years and, II such a danger really threat
ened, we do not doubt that Carnegie and
the rest OF the manufacturers would come
down to the figures OF the Illinois COM
pany. The government needs to put on
stin upper lip, refuse to pay more than II
has offered, and the companies will flock
gladly to its prices before the spring is
over.

EFFICIENT SUBORDLNAT TES.

There has been considerable apprehen-
sion aroused by a fear that Theodore
Roosevelt, the Assistant Secretary of the
Navy, will dominate the navy department.
Those who fear thus see bllck visions of
a national regime in which those who
have formerly been clerks will be masters,
while the master will become the abject
and punctilious clerk. 1t is argued that
1t would have been proper to appoint
Roosevelt Secretary instead Of Assistant
Secretary, for then he would have had the
right to rule the department which now,
by virtue OF his inferior capacity, he has
not.
There have been times in the history of
the world when the serveling dominated
the ruler, but the cases are extreme and
are no argument against efficient men In
subordinate places. II we are to select
men OF inferior attainments and ability
FOR inferior places, because they may pos
sibly know more than those above them.
then we will soon build up a system OF
public administration that will ruin the
