POLICE CORRUPTION.

The corruption of the police force is bad
enough from whatever point of view 1t may be
regarded. 1t is n dreadful thing to have the
law uphoding force ally itself with law
breakers, to have it, for Il price connive at
crime protect vice and compound felonies; to
have it draw an unclean and illegal revenue
from n practical partnership with evil; to have
t insult and Cypress the virtuous and law abid-
ing persons who seek and are entitled to its
protection or who invoke its aid in upholding the
law. These are all abomnable things But
they not, any one all of them together.

THE STATE OF PORTO RICO.

Dr. J. H. Hollander, formerly associate pro-
fessor of accounts in Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity has been studying political and economic
conditions in Porto Rico. He was well qualified
for the task by his scholarship and professional
training, and he had an admirable opportunity
for it through holding the office of Treasurer of
the island. He now declares, as result of his
observations that the condition of affairs in the
island is hopeful; that the best elements Of the
people are raIlying to the support of President
McKinley's Administration, and that the feeling
is growing among the people that the Admins
tration is doing its best to benefit the island.
Referring to the special detail Of the Porto Rico
tariff he says the feeling that Porto Rico was
ito be exploited is pure prejudiced sentiment
tally" No intelligent man. he adds, can deny
that the tariff was a necessary fiscal device the
alternative being either subsidy or pauper-
iZatiOn.
Compare these lucid and sincere declarations
by q man who knows -v1at he is talking about
with the wild storm of abuse and vilihcation
which was directed against the Administration
when the Porto Rico tariff was adopted! We
were told that the President was betraying in
an abominable manner people who had trusted
him and had welcomed American rule. Yet the
best elements Of the people are supporting the
Administration, convinced that it is doing it's
assured, was being exploited for the benefit of
carpet bag spectators. Such views, says DR..
Hollander are prejudiced sentimentality. The
island was being robbed, impoverished. ruined,
screamed the shrll voiced sisterhOod Its
affairs are in a hopeful condition, says DIR.
Houander. The tariff an act of wanton
oppression, vociferated the Friends of Human
ity. It was simply fiscal necessity to save the
island from paupersm, is the authoritative
reply.
OF course there will be some sweetly reason
able souls who will contend that DR.. Hollander
is not a competent witness, because personal
observation and experience in the island make
him hopelessly ignorant of its real needs and
conditions. and acceptance of the Treasurership
under this Administration convcts him offhand
of untruthfulness and corruption. Yet we shall
not be bit surprised If most people accept DR..
Hollander's statement of the case as exactly
true; and we notice by the way, that the ire
mendOuS pOther that was raised about the
Porto Rico tariff has largely subsidized and makes
scarcely any figure in this campaign We won

faith. And wonder if there will not pres

that. beginning with some of those in highest

the contrary of what it should be. and toward
making II the pernicious and baleful thing we
have warningiy described. That is the menace,
now so plain and near that to disregard it
would be as futile as it would be criminal. In
a good police force rest the security and the well
fare of the city; in an evil police force would
be found its peril and its ruin. And whatever
influence would for any purpose, change the

redqinr will nave to be repeated.

dredging will have TO be repeated
The gist of the matter lies in the question
whether a great city should tolerate the exist
ence of such an open sewer, running Tor miles
through a densely populated district. For an
open sewer is just what the Gowanus Cahal IS
and that of the worst kind. 1t has not the
current that river would have or that an orul-
nary underground sewer should have, but is
practically a stagnant pool. Into it numberless
factories discharge their waste products, some
Of them Of a most offensive character. and in
addition many of the chief sewers also pour
into it their loathsome streams To both sight
and smell it is utterly repusive. If ever there
was q public nuisance that demanded imme-
diate abatement it is one. And yet 1t Is toler-
ated year after year. because Of its vast indus
trial and commercial value The wealth OF
Brooklyn, in coal and lumber and manufactures,
is largely along its malodorous banks. Its
worth to the city as means of transportation
is as great as are its offences TO eye and nose
and its menace to health.
The rational solution Of the problem would
lie not in deprving the commerce and indus
tries of the city of the use of the canal, but
rather in confirming them therein exclusively.
In other words, the canal should be made and
kept a canal, and not an open sewer. The
whole trouble lies in our lazy, shiftless improyi-
dent, filthy and barbarous custom of pouring
sewage into the nearest water and thus vast
ing the one and spelling the other, instead of
disposlng of it economically and scientifically,
as some other great cities do, and thus making
profit from the sewage and at the same time
keeping the water clean enough to be blessing
instead Of a curse. If the sewage that is now
poured into the Gowanus Canal were sent in
stead to a sewage farm the water of the canal
would be as clean and inoffensive as that of the
East River. and hundreds of acres of Long
Island sand barrens would be made to blossom
as the rose.
