Considering that it is a matter of
great difficulty to convict Grimm
ais, no matter how clear their
guilt, it may we'll be considered
whether the system of paroling
convicts should not be abolished.
1t is alleged that during the last
two years one-half of the import
ant crimes committed in Chicago
have been the work of pardoned or
paroled convicts.

Immense demands for American
cotton in japan indicate the
growth of that branch Of manufact-
ure in the orient. Steamer Braem-
er carried 5000 bales, or approx
mately 1850 tons from Tacoma
during the week, and all Of the
six trans Pacific lines are stated
to have offerings of cotton which
will fill the entire available carry
ing capacity of these steamers for
several weeks to come. The ex-
tremely low prices for the COM
modify has brought an outlet in
proportion and ought to assist
materially in relieving the surplus
which has had such a telling effect
on the industry in America.

DISTRIBUTION OF FUNDS,
Commissioner WiSht's Recommends
lions Concerning Charity Work.

If the recommendation of Commissioner
Wight be followed by the District Com
nissioners, the police department will be
relieved of all charitable work. and # his
further recommendation be followed,
money available for the relief of the poor
will hereafter be distributed through the
Associated Charities under the direction
of the central relief committee instead Of
the police department.
In making these recommendations, Mr.
Wight, who has charge of the police de
partment, submitted to the board of District
Commissioners the following letter:
Il recommend that the money available
for the relief of the poor. with which the
Commissioners have to do, be distributed
under the direction of the central relief
committee hereafter through the Associated
Charities. instead of the police department.
Il make this recommendation after q
very careful consideration of the matter,
ana after long and thorough conference
with the following gentlemen: s. W.
woodward, b. I. Janney. JOHN JOY Edison.
Or. b. l.. Whitman. Major Moore chief
OF police: Mr.. II. c. Lewis. Superintendent
of charities and Mr.. Geo S. Wilson secre-
tary of the Associated Charities. The re-
suit OF this conference being the unanimous
opinion that. while the work of distributing
by the police department has heretofore
peen done in manner satisfactory, so
far as the b"neficiaries are concerned, and
that the change is not suggested because
OF any criticism of the manner in which
the police have distributed the fund, 1t is
Il duty not properly belonging to the police
department and taking time which they
can Ill afford to spare and devolving a
large amount of clerical work upon the
ONCE OF the headquarters, which is al
ready Overbyrdened.
IT Is understood and agreed on the part
or the gentlemen named. who represent the
Associated Charities, that if the Commits
sloners decide to use their relief fund in
the way above suggested, they will be
personally responsible for a wise and
proper distribution of the same, without
any dimnution of the amount which the
commissioners give them for any ex-
penSeS incurred in its distribution
make this recommendation because II
IS IN line with what / am endeavoring to
DO IN connection with the police depart
ment In various ways, namely: To relieve
the department of all duties which are
not strictly in the line of the protection
OF the city against crime, and trust that
the Recommendation will meet with the
approval of the board of Commissioners
commissioner Ross, as the president of
the board of Commissioners will Law the
letter OF Commissioner Wight before the
board at its first meeting and the matter
VIII probably be determined in a few
days. AZ"
