The Policeman.

An unusual number of policemen
have assembled al Cincinnati This Il
not on account OF the meeting oi
the Mddle-of-the-ro road Populists in
that city, but because the policemen
themselves are holding a convention
to devise ways and means by which
they can the better circumvent the
| sinners of their various localities. II
is astonishing what great industry
this chasing OF sin and sinners has be-
come. Out in Chicago there Is another
gathering, the Methodist General Con-
ference, which Is branch OF the same
industry The members of that
gathering get after the sinners in a
different way, but all the same the sin
ner is their game. But leaving that
aside, the business alone of going after
the sinner with clubs and handouts Is
very large and growing one. The
policemen of the country constitute a
large standing army, armed and drill
ed and disciplined. and besides that
imbued with thoroughly orthodox
views of sin.
We sometimes make fun of the po-
liceman, but there are very few of us
who have not been in situations where
the sight of his brass buttons was a
most comforting one. He IS always
ready to fight for us, and his august
presence aud authoritative air are po-
tent in preserving peace and order
and in giving us our rights on the
highway and elsewhere. There is a
security in his measured tread, and
safety follows his footballs. He is a
great invention, as we can realize if
we hark back to those troublous days
when he either did not exist at all or
only existed in a rude and rudiment-
ary form.
He has been brought by generations
of development to a high degree of eff
llciency, but he is still capable of fur
;her development, therefore it may
not be putting ii too strong to say that
the convention CT policemen, which is
held for the purpose of further devel-
oping and perfecting his methods, is
more important than the other one
which is being held in the same city
for the purpose of proclaiming to the
world the wickedness of William Nc
Kinley and the Republican party
Pittsburg Times.

Mr.. Roosevelt continues to declin
the vice presidential nomination, an
some of his New York friends contin
lie to urge that it must be forced upol
him by acclamation. There is n
doubt that the Governor is sincere ii
his declination. There is also n
doubt that his friends will continue t
urge the nomination. Mr.. Roosevelt
had much rather be Governor of Ney
York another term than be Vice Pres
ident. Personally, he would rathe
retire to private life than be Vic.
President. This is not because he fail
TO appreciate the honor 1t does no
mean that he is NOT in harmony witt
the administration. Private letter
explain Mr.. Roosevelt's position. The.
are animated by a spirit OF sincerits
which no one who knows the Cover
nor can doubt. The truth is. the du
ties OF Vice President would be mos
irksome to a man of Mr.. Roosevelt
active, energetic character. The:
would kill me in year." the Governo
wrote to friend in Washington. Tn
idea OF sitting in the presiding eff
GERS chair, listening TO unlimited de
bate, putting motions. having neithe
voice nor vote in what is going or
fills Mr.. Roosevelt's mind with repung
Inh - =; ,,,t
once pointed to an amiable gentlema;
who was filling the position of Vic,
President with perfect satisfaction
There he said, sis the happiest ma
in Washington. From one year to thu
other he need have nothing on hi
mind but the health OF the President
1t has been represented that the ad.
ministration wishes Mr.. Roosevelt
nominated. This is untrue. Nj
Roosevelt would be accepted as would
any other good Republican. But the
President is exercising no dictation in
this matter. He is not even expressin,
a choice. He has a high opinion o.
Mr.. Roosevelt, but he Is not asking his
nomination, or, in fact, any oths
mans nomination, The Senators dc
not want Mr.. Roosevelt. They would
prefer someone else, because they
realize, just as the Governor does
that his temperament would render
the duties disagreeable. Some OF the
papers which are pushing the Rocse-
velt boom insist that the nomination
is inevitable. That is putting the
case too strongly. Still, it is fact
that the demand foi a nomination by
acclamation is ins.stent in certain
certain quarters, and has a certain
kind OF strength. Ii is likely to grow
unless some other name is presented
in which the party recognizes strength
and fitness, and for which there sets in
popular demand Senator Lodge,
who is to be the presiding officer Of
the convention, according to present
indications is one of the closest friends
OF Roosevelt. He will be in the chair
at the time il tho attempt is made tc
nominate the Governor by acclama-
tion. He thinks that Roosevelt ought
TO accept the nomination.

Before the Kenmores.

Little Pete, of Wheeling, and young
McMasters, of Bellaire, met last even
ing a friendly bout to a decision be-
fore the Kenmore Club, of the Eighth
ward, and quite a number of the
sporting fraternity were present. 1t
was the general opinion of the specta-
tors that McMasters had the advant-
age of his opponent in weight and that
Little Pete showed a more scientific
knowledge of the art by his clever work
in each round. The contest was de-
clared a draw in the sixth round. There
were no knockdowns.
There was a preliminary contest be-
tween young McMasters and a local
boxer, and it was also declared a draw
at the end of The third round.
