FOR CALAMITY.
A New yorh Policeman ward For
CatshiIg y burglar.

A New York Policeman Rewarded For
Catching = burglar.
Hon. Theodore Roosevelt writes an
article entitled THE Roll OF Honor OF
the New York Police" for The Century
Mr.. Roosevelt says:
Early in our term we promoted a pa
tro)man Il the grade Of roundsman for
actis ity in catching a burglar under
rather peculiar circumstances. l hap
pened to note his getting u burglar II
week. Apparently he had fallen into
the habit, for he got another the next
week. In the latter case the burglar es-
capped from the house Don after mid
night and ran away toward Park ave-
nue., with the policeman in hot chase.
The New York Central railroad runs
under Park avenue, and there Is u
succession of openings i'll the top OF the
tunnel. Finding that the policeman
was gaining on him, the burglar took a
desperate chance and leaped down n
of these openings ut the risk Of break
ing his neck. Now the burglar was
running for his liberty, and it was the
part Of wisdom for him tn imperil life
or limb, but the policeman was merely
doing his duty, and nobody could have
blamed him for not taking the jump.
However. he jumped, and in this par
ticular case the hand Of the Lord was
heavy upon the unrighteous The bur
glar had the breath knocked out Of him,
and the ''cop" didn't. When his victim
could walk. the officer trotted him
around to the station house, and a week
afterward he himself was promoted, it
appearing upon careful investigation
that he was sober, trustworthy and
strictly attentive to his duty.
Here again it seems to me that we
followed the eminently common ems
plan of promoting a man who had earn
ed his promotion by faithful and dis
tinguished service and by proved supe-
rior capacity. We cared no more for
the policeman's views on the tariff or
the currency than we did for those of
the burglar. Our interest and the inter
est Of citizens generally was to have the
officer catch that burglar and otherwise
do his duty. If he did his duty, we
were for him; if he did not, we were
against him. In neither event did we
care whether the officer had or had not
the backing of the congressional delega-
ton Of the city or the central committee
Of the county. OF course. as before. this
exposed us to wild outcries from the
local political bosses and heelers and
much sneering at civil service reform, T"
but all the outcries and sneers meant
was that we were doing our duty as de-
cent men and as public officials, with
some slight appreciation Of what was
implied by the words honor and up
rightness. Political organizations are
eminently necessary and useful, but
when they are seized by professional
spoils politicians of low morality. who
run the machine" in their own inter
ests, who clamor against honesty and
defy decency and rail against that de-
vice for obtaining clean government
which is known as civil sersice reform,
then it is time for all citizens who
believe in good citizenship to rise i'll re
volt.

And Hies when the VOLTS at the door.
Don't marry ut all, others tell me,

search Is looked upon in diplomatic circles as
extremely important particularly in It's dec
laraton that Spain proposes to exercise the
right Of search Of neutral ships on the high

Of search may cause Spain moro trouble than
resort to privatcering There is considerable
doubt whether Great Britain and Germany will
calmly permit this search IL their merchant
ships carrying the bulk OF commerce 10 and
from the United states. While the Spanish
notice says that privatccring will not be resort
ed to. yet it adds that merchant steamers will
be equipped as AUXILIARY cruisers. At first this
was thought by the authorities here to he an
Indirect resort to privateerlng. Diplomatic au-
thorticS do not 50 regard II. however. They
say that the privatcer is turned loose as free
bootcr without direct orders from a govern
ment while the auxiliary cruiser remains con-
stantly under tho Governments orders |, is
not this but tho right Of search which is looked
upon I'm diplomatic circles as the most serious
