the growth of the institution has been neccS-
sary stunted and onc-slded. and its practical

mischlevous results followed the action or Con-
gress on those very schedules. On most OF the
Items in the iron and steel and wOollcn sched-
ulcs cspecially the commissions rates were al
tered, sometimes for higher and sometimes ior
lower duties 1t WAS not long before members
of the commission were pointing ont that 70
suits would have been much better If Congress,
while accepting some provisions recommended
had not disrcgardcd many Of the most impor-
tant thus producing Z measure which was
curiously Unbalanced and i'll judged. From May

uncertainty, and after nearly seven months
spent In preparation by the commissions Con-
srcss took the whole Of three months to pass IN
imperfect measure, whereas less than Tour
months have been taken to prepare ana pass
the bill this year.
1t is to he remembered that this commission
was authorized by an act of Congress ana lor
an cspccial occasion. and yet great part of its
work went fo~ nothing and the changes from

portance in their effect upon Industries, but were

had been easier Oh any point of controversy 10

for those of the commission. 1t is not particu-
larry strange that members or congress "'ic
more inclined to follow their own committees
in the House or the Senate than To follow Il c""-
mission not composed If members, nor WAS 1t
surprising that the small commission oil elght

TALKING POLICEMEN.

An excellent rule was laid down by the Police
Board yesterday for the instruction or captain
Chapman and other officers whose vanity lends
them into like faults. The Board gave orders
that police officers must not make newspaper
cor other public statements concerning police
cor legislative policies in dealing with vice ana
crime the duty OF police officers beng not 10
"moralizc or 10 express their personal opinions
"of the laws hut rather 10 enforce them larly,
"discrcetly and faithfully" Strict obedience to
this rule should Nc compelled for the benefit or
the force in general and the special disclFlin" or
Il considerable number OF It's members who
have been sadly dcmoralizcd by self-conscious-
ness and the notion that they are charged with
the reform Of conduct.
The police are not principally NJ fault In this
matter. Ever since the old Matchmaking sys-
fem. under which the captains and the law
breakers got along so tremendously, went out
of operation there has been constant demand
on the part of some good citizens who were in
favor of law but against its enforcement tiat
the police should constitute themselves court
Of last resort and decide that some laws ought
NOT 70 be enforced The officers responded
nobly to the appeal. and for many months nave
heon delivering lectures through the newspapers
on what constituted a meal. what was harmless
thirst in their precincts and what conduct was
becoming to women in public places. As Is wei
known. the habit OF public speaking grows Win
excrc,sc. and the notorciy which has followed
posing as Independent powers whose lhdlNldual
policies and opinions were OF Importance 10
reople In general has been n sweet boon To some
rolicemen. This tendency has been left I'M
checked. owing to obstructive tactcs III the
Police Board which have in'erfeTed Win as
cipline and made II possible for captain 10
nlay the upstart without fear of serious coise-
oucnces The result has been the abuses of
power and the lmpudcnt assumptions in which
Chapman has been indulsins.
Chapmans trouble appears TO he more the re-
sult Of vanity than anything else Another man
might have made many arrests that he maze
ord cleared tho streets of objectionable people
ri,hout any noise or blustcr. But Chapman
could not do his duty without posing and over
doing II for theatrical effect. He made MN
cole a sensation and he liked II. IL tickled him

men denounce him. TO see all his Opinions

poscd 10 do. bat had been compelled to OBEY or
dcrs In silence as n mere instrument or the ponce
mower Of the city, he would have had no III
ccntive to make arrests except IN rcaSohapic
way which would have done no wrong ana
caused no scandal. 1t IS time that he was COM
nolled TO keep still. New-lork has a foncc
commission TO decide nil necessary questions OF
policc policy and does not look TO It's policemen
either for craftsmanship or sermons.

that n single vote might deprive them OF power

"vacancles so occurring after the beginning of

The National Convention Of ElocutiOnists, he'd
In this city during the present week. is doing
n good work, and showing Itself worthy Of the
attention Of all educators and of ill educated
people. Its appeal and its usefulness are not

merely to advance the interests of public read

fashion with wide range Of practical topics,
including pedagogy, literature, hygiene and cal

are matters of interest TO the whole intelligent
public, and the consideration Of them should
make for the advancement of liberal culture in
many directions. At every session Of the CON

The idea OF sending the poor children OF New.

many OF them instead of taking the children 10

sufficient TO send a child or two 10 the mountains.
Even among the young people Is that interest
