1T Is now openly stated that the sud.

dominate the politics Of this country
are in control, and provided further
that the constitutional convention at

bly, or otherwise, without regard to the
wishes OF the Cuban peoplei This. Of

WEDNESDAY EVENING. MAY 1. 1901

TIE DARK CLOUD which portended
another clash between the Mayor ana
Police Commissioners has passed over
with no other effects than low mutter-
inps. Il Is earnestly hoped 1t may never
return. Until next Monday at least the
issue will remain dormant. Chief Web
stsr this morning carried out the Or
ders Of the Police Board by placing
three officers on duty ct the station
house and ordering the trio who have
been the stationkeepers for some time
to take their places in the ranks. In
the meantime Judge Nicol OF the Cir
cult Court had upon application OF the
Mayor awarded en- Injunction restrain
ing the commissioners from enforcing
rules Sc and SO, and the Mayor ordered
ths three men formerly at the station
house to resume their posts and sent
their substitutes out for street duty.
OF course nothing further can be done
until tne court makes the ipjunc-
ton perpetual or dissolves IL.
For the welfare of the community, Tor
the reputation OF the city, and particu-
lsrly for the efficiency OF the police
force, the question Of Its CONTROL which
has caused the controversy between the
Mayor and the other members OF the
Board OF Police Commissioners, ought
to be settled upon its merits by some
competent tribunal. The Mayor alleges
In his bill for an injunction that sections
Sc and 50 OF the Rules and Regulations
of the Police Commissioners conflict
with the lswIof the state, are unreason-
able and too uncertain for the force to
be managed under them. and asks that
they be declared invalid, and that their
enforcement be epioined. But little
that has not already been said can be
suggested concerning this unfortunate
state of affsirs-a conflict of authority
which has long since become chronic,
and which all right-thinking people de.
plore.
