TOO MANY BAD POLICEMEN

At this time Of the year. when so many people
are out of town, the police should exercise IN
usual vigilance In guarding property, but there
Is convincing reason to believe that the mem
bers Of the force in all the boroughs are falling
short Of their duty They have bad examples
before them. They see the Commissioners
adopting methods and policies which are intend
ed to promote the plans of INSCRIPTIONS polit-
zeal schemers They observe that advancement
does not depend upon faithful service but is
governed by pulls and influences of the most
Objectionable kind. They cannot fail to note
that the divekeepers of the Ackron class are
bold and defiant in the extreme. No fair minded
man or woman who looks into the facts can
avoid the conclusion that the force In all d.
visions of this great city is in an unfortunate
condition.
Those persons whose occupatio and duties
require them to remain in the city will act
wisely If they see to 1t that their homes are
properly watched and that due precautions are
taken against burglars, sneak thieves and Grim
inals of every class. This is a campaign yesr
and the feeling is prevalent among the men
who should devote their energies with unceasing
zeal to the support of law and order and to sus-
tanning a constant warfare against lawbreak-

In most of the precincts the ruling sentiment
Is that the Department should be active In pro-

Robberies are extremely frequent this summer
in every part of the city. The police do ali they

TIRE TALK OF THE DAY.

THE New-Orleans Times-Democrat" tells OF a
blind man In Southern city who goes to the post
office every day, carrying a small light riding
whip which he holds slightly inclined TO the front
with the tip just touching the pavement His
sense of touch has become delicate that the
whip Is almost an artificial eye. When the point
encounters anything he makes a few swift passes
over the surface and generally determines the ex-
act character OF the obstacle 1t is done so quick
ly and deftly as TO attract attention. and few
passers have the least suspicion OF the old man
inhrmity. When he reaches the postofflce he turns
unhesitatingly, mounts the middle stairs walks
over TO the lock boxes, and. without any feeling
around, thrusts a key into the right aperture.

more strange and ignorant peoples into our
citizenship? The Democrats have been saying
for years that the gift of the ballot to the
negroes was mistake of the Republicans. If
it was a mistake. and the Republicans, taught
by experience, refused TO repeat IT by calling in
Tagals and Porto RiCans, unframed IN CITIZEN
ship, to help govern us, the Democrats ought to
commend their discretion Instead. true TO their
tradition of demagogy, they demand American
citizenship as a constitutional right Tor peoples
in distant possessions, while working by VIC
lence and fraud to degrade and disfranchise ex-
listing citizens in the very bosom Of the Re
public
There NAV be reasonable ground for restrict
ing the ignorant vote in North Carolina. pro-
yided the races are treated alike. We cannot
believe in the view that the clause of the pro-
posed Constitution to be adopted on Thursday
leaving the ballot in spite of ignorance to voters
or descendants OF voters OF 1867, is just or con-
forms to the spirit of the Constitution. though
some argue that the unlettered whites are better
fitted for citizenship than the unlettered negroes.
Suppose, however, 1t is assumed that the Con
stitution is in the interests of civilization, and
that outsiders have no right to complain If

patches from North Carolina in accord with the

If ANY government not based upon the con
sent of the governed Is a tyranny" then the
new Democratic government in North Carolina
now being forced upon the people there by
fraud and arms and the suppression of free
speech is tyranny OF the worst sort. If Mr..
Bryan were anything but an adventurer and
demagogue he would rise up and denounce this
outrage with the indignation and earnestness
of a true believer in human rights and human
freedom. All the more would he do it be-
cause IT is his own party's violation Of its pro-
fessed principles and an indictment Of his own
good faith AS it is, be does not dare say
word against the negro baiters and election
thieves whose votes he wants. He opposes
tyranny for revenue only.
