MORE AROUT THE POLICE.

In the appalling Draft Riots of the Civil War
our policemen did valiant and heroic work, and
many of them lost their lives in the loyal per-
formance of their duty. The contrast between
the noble deeds of the force in that tremendous
emergency and the wretched failure Of the
wearers of the uniform to suppress the disorder
on Wednesday night Is sickening. Evidence of
the kind which cannot be Overthrown has been
heaped up since Wednesday, proving that police
men encouraged assaults upon innocent and
helpless negroes and used their clubs, their
fists and their ponderous feet upon negro vic
tins of their rage, when these victims had been
guilty of no crime and even of no fault. With
curses and blows, with kicks and thrusts, they
assailed colored men who appealed to them for
protection. Even inside station houses black
prisoners were set upon and battered and
bruised atrocously. In the Draft Riots the
police protected the negroes In the outbreaks
Of Wednesday and Thursday in many cases
they egged on rioters and were rioters them
selves police mob in uniform melted mob
without uniform to break the laws.
Into this pit of shame has the force fallen!
AT the time of the r1oting most If not all of the
members of the Police Board were out of town
seeking rest from their arduous labors In de-
bauching the Department for the benefit of un-
scrnpuIous bosses. Chief Devery was on hand,
much to the injury and suffering of the unfortu-
nate negroes whom his aids and accomplices
and subordinates treated so cruelty. 1t is
known to every one familiar with the practices
of our policemen that coiored people have been
harshly and unfairly used by the force in this
city for many years. The murder of Thorpe,
the patrolman by a negro aroused the most
vindictive feelings. The outbreaks, the assaults
on colored men, women and children and all the
disorder and crime were largely due to the
savage frenzy for vengeance which ran through
the force like devouring flame. Were it pos
sible for such callous beings the Commits
siOners the Chief and the other officers respon-
sible for the occurrences of last week to feel
heads and would shrink from looking their fel-
low citizens in the face.
The Department is completely demoralized
and debased. Respectable New Workers regard
it with disfavor and dislike. 1t is covered with
the slime of blackmail. Decent men should
refuse recognition to those who have brought
about this lamentable condition of things. While
the bosses of to-day hold their power there is
no hope that the rascals in the Department will
be punished, but reputable citizens can make it
clear to the offenders that they are looked upon
as unworthy to associate with honorable people
Public sentiment is now unit with regard to
police encouragement of riOting, and the
sure of the press is emphatic and general. New
York is abashed before the world because of the
abominable misrule which prevails in its Police
Department.
New-York tribune., 1900-08-19
SERIOUS SUMNER STUDY.

The close last week of this years session of
the Summer School of New-Y York University
suggests some interesting reflections upon the
character and value of the work that is being
done in that and similar institutions. New
York University was the first important seat
of learning in this part Of the United States
and one Of the first in the world. to make sum
mer courses a part of its regular scheme Its
wisdom in doing so has now been amply con-
firmed, partly by the substantial success of its
enterprise and partly by the widespread imita-
ton Of its action by other institutions The
Summer School is now as truly a part of the
university as is the Medical School or the Grad
uate Seminary. and, may add. apparently
as worthy part. The list Of studies pursued
is a formidable one, indicating serious and hard
work The fact that men of mature age formed
the majority of the students is significant differ
entiating the University Summer School from
the more familiar institution which resembles
a mixture of picnic and kindergarten. The
further fact that a great majority of the stu
dents took in accordance with the recommenda-
ton of the faculty, courses in only one or two
subjects each is a sufficient proof of their ear
nest purpose and dismissal of any idea of
superfciality In brief, the Summer School
comprehends an extension of genuine university
culture throughout the entire year. offering it

themselves of it at any other time.
That, after all. is the true ideal of the uni
versity; place where any personals has well
been sald-can get instruction in any subject
and where moreover, he or she can get 1t at
any time. There is no good reason why the
intellectual activities Of the people should lie
dormant during the very season of the year
when all the vitality of nature seems at It's
highest pitch The professions must be prac
tised, business conducted and trades pursued
the year around. 1t Is well that opportunity
for preparation for those callings, and for inn
provement in them. should likewise be always
New-York tribune., 1900-08-19

open. We do not say that should study
eontinuously-in the classroom sense of the
word-the whole year around, any more than
that one should work at profession, business or
trade without a vacation. But in these latter
callings vacation time is not time of sus-
pension of activities. The places of those who
are on vacation are filed by others, and the
mill grInds on. The fact that at New-York
University this year so many earnest men and
women were eager to take, practically the
places Of the other students who were vaca-
tions and that they thus enjoyed advantages
of education and culture which otherwise would
have been denied them, and that. moreover at
other institutions all over the land the same
thing has been and is being done, is ample
demonstration of the need, of the high charac-
ter and Of the inestimable value of such sum-
mer schools.
New-York tribune., 1900-08-19

originally. as we have always believed, OF
sentimental order. There was some apprehen-
sion lest Chicago. by natural growth ana aru-
fetal accretion should overtake and outstrip
this city and though comparatively little was
said about that feature of the case we are con-
vinced that it was consideration which con-
trolled the votes of a multitude or persons
when the tentative ballot was taken Now IL
appears that Chicago is still behind the old city
of New-Yorl by tolerably safe margin, and
it is interesting to consider whether, If we
could have looked a few years into the future
the majority for absorption OF our neighbors
would have been so large. There is not much
risk in assuming that If the prophetic vision
could have included also a survey of the
general fruits of consolidation the experiment
would have been postponed.
There is unquestionaby much If not general
discomfort with the conditions which consoli-
dation issuing in a treacherous betrayal of the
new city into the hands of Tammany, has pro-
duced Whether Mr. Atterbury still believes
that a free vote and fair count in Brooklyn
would now show that a great majority of the
inhabitants of that borough are pining for their
lost estate we do not know; but complaints of
neglect and abuse are common enough there
and elsewhere TO prove the existence of large
measure of dissatisfaction. However, the past
ton to dwell on what might have been. and
sheer waste of time to recommend, as some of
our fellow citizens beyond the East River have
been pleased to do, a restoration Of the old con-
ditions One suggestion, nevertheless, has been
heard which perhaps is not unworthy of con-
sideration. The people of Richmond have more
reason than others to complain of what con-
sodation has brought them and to lament what
is gone Many of them say that Staten Island
is essentially a rustic region, whose farms and
villages are separated in spirit As well as physi-
cally from the rest of the city, and that its
peculiar interests are not and in the nature of
things cannot he well cared for by a centralized
government. We do not assert for we do not
know, that this is the prevailing sentiment of
the Borough of Richmond; but if it is, and If the
people there should ever take occasion to sig
Nifty in an authentic manner a strong desire TO
recover their former civic status we should not,
for our part, seriously object to the severance
of ties so declared TO be artificial and unwel-
