Police Are Responsible
to the Mayor Alone,

Wilkesbarre's Police Are Responsible
to the Mayor Alone.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 27.-Judge Nc
Clure yesterday granted q perpetual
injunction against the city councils
Of Wilkesbarre restraining them from
interfering with the police department.
Some months ago Mayor Nichols Is
sued an order to the police to arrest
all saloon keepers who violated the
Sunday law. Several arrests were
made, but city councils did not take
kindly to the methods adopted by the
police to collect evidence against the
saloon men. The chief Of police and
several Of his subordinates were sum-
moned to appear before the police COM
mittee Of councils and answer charges
preferred against them. The mayor
forbade the officers to appear, and ap-
piled to the court for an Injunction to
restrain the councils from interfering
with the workings of the police de-
partment, claiming the police were
responsible to him alone. Judge Nc
Clure, who was presiding In court at
the time, in the absence of one Of the
Luzerne county judges, granted tenn
porary injunction, and in lengthy
opinion filed yesterday he makes it
perpetual. The Judge holds that
mayors of the third class cities con-
troll the police, and not the councils.

GOLD continues to pour Into the
Treasury at a~rate which 10 abso-
lutely Embarrassing to the Dep art
ment through the resulting excess
OF goldeH riches and scarcity of
paper The gold reserve has now
regained substantially every dollar
lost by the Philippine payment Of
$50, 900, 900. There was a gain in
the net reserve yesterday Of $685.
1877, which carried the reserve to
$246, 1888, S87. This is only a trifle
below the maximum in the history
Of the reserve which was $246, 973,-
026 on the last day of 1898. The
United States notes paid fell from
1,555, 80 in 1898, to $479, 100 in
1899, while the silver certificates
paid fell from 81, 052, 0l9 to $758, 354.
The percentage OF gold paid thus
far in July, comes close to the high
est per centage ever obtained. The
Treasury now has on hand about
$27, 647, 900 in half-eagles, which is
slightly in excess of the amount in
eagles.

The various collectors in the diff
ferent Hundreds Of the county APP
pear to be much more censurable
than the Levy Court for the deficit
in the county treasury. Had the
tax assessed all been collected and
promptly paid over to the Receiver,
there would have been money sufli-
cient to meet all expenditures.
Thousands of dollars were lost
within the past few years by the
refusal of collectors to receive taxes
from men who wished to qualify to
vote. The object was not how to
get money, but how to keep from
taking it. The course in this re.
spect was absolutely criminal and
yet Democrats sustained and en-
Outraged it. AS citizens may vote
hereafter on paying registration
fee, the temptation to collectors to
cheat the county by returning big
delinquent list, will be removed.
BY more attention to the course of
the collectors, the Levy Court will
be able to meet expenditures and
preserve the credit of the county.
The greater part of the demands on
the Levy Court are fixed by the
Legislature and the court has no
choice about the matter. 1t is hoped
through improved business there
will be improved collections and by
keeping an eye on expenditures,
the county indebtedness will not be
increased. The court is to be COM
mended for striving to keep down
the tax rate, as the burden is heavy
enough for the citizens who have to
pay the bills. From the past a
useful lesson may be learned and
improved methods result.

needs to have missionaries sent out
and bullets given them to bring
them to their sense of citizenship
and their rights as American citi-

the police force being no good, the
militia has been called out to pre-
serve order, which they are attempt.
ing to do by the aid Of the bayonct.
All this trouble has sprung from
the street car strike which remains
unsettled The city is in the hands
of a mob and the merchants are eX-
periencing dull times and business
in general is paralyzed. Labor is
very unrestful in some places. but
the iron manufacturers have raised
the wages of their men and they

care how long the fight keeps up
among the Democratic members Of
City Council. Not being in the slate
they hope the deadlock will last
until September. as by that means
one and all will be enabled to hold
their jobs, and jobs like the city
jobs are not to be picked up at the
present time. One reason why so
many are after city jobs is that
they are sinecures. The trouble
at the present time and the cause
of the deadlock is that there are
too many applicants for the posi-
tons, and every one insists upon
their claims on the party being rec
ognized. That is where the rub
comes in. Every Democratic MEN,
Der thinks his ward is entitled to
one Of the positions and there being
II of them and only eight positions
to give out, it has called forth the
present deadlock. With Councilman
Healy sick it does not look as if
there would be any election this
evening Some say the slate will
be broken this evening and the diff
ferences patched up.
