Beware of "A Cough.

\ cough is not disease but a symp-

pears, are easily cured. Chamberlain

4 CASE Of DOUBT.

On complaint of a shoemaker named Joseph
Miller a policeman named John G.. Reedy will
presently have 10 submit 10 the telTors or an
interview with Commissioner Murphy. The
charge against Reedy is that he was guilty or
conduct unbecOming an officer and a gentleman.
in that he refused 10 take no for an answer
when he had signiiied a strong desire 10 go TO
bed under AIiller's counter. and gave that au-
dacious citizen thrashing for his inhospitaity.
on the face of il Miller has tolernbly strong
case hut. nevertheless. there is n good deal 10
be said on the other side In the first place.
Reedy did not propose 10 retire with his clothes
on. which would have been indecOrous. but. as
we understand, had already divested himself
of his uniform. and for aught that appears 10
the contrary may have been about TO say his
prayers. Moreover, Reedy positively declares
that he was not feeling WELL in consequence of
a heavy dose of medicine which he had taken
TO cure a cold. and the fact that Miller judged
him 10 be drunk is not conclusive. Indeed, even
if there had been no possibility of a false dag
nosis. Miller should have reflected that police
man in such condition might have done much
worse than dispose himself snugly under
counter with his uniform for pillow.
Under the circumstances not surprised
that Reedy WAS indignant, though he undOubt-
edly took an extreme step in proceeding TO re-
buke Miller with his club. Yet even then Miller
should have remembered that. instead of being
merely beaten and left 10 dress his wounds in
his own shop at his convenience, he might have
been beaten first and afterward arrested for
resisting an officer. with a strong probability
that when the trial came on Reedy would pro-
duce several brother officers as witnesses 10
swear that il was an aggravated case. How
many persons annually convicted such
testimony the records naturally fail 10 show,
but there is reason TO suppose that the number
langushing in Jail with no loving hand TO
change his poultices. he would probably wish
that he had minded his own business-stuck 10
his last. as il were-instead of thwarting 4 po-
liceman's desire for repose; and the fact that
he is still at large should not persuade him that
it was wise 10 ignore the antecedent probab
ties
There is another consideration which Miller
| in his capacity a citizen and q taxpayer is
not justified in overlooking Suppose that he
presses the case and procures the dismissal of
/ Reedy from the police force. What will happen
! then: Why, the strong presumption is that
Reedy will appeal TO the courts and after a

THEY SHOULD PAY THEIR DEBTS.

The report of the Commissioners of Accounts
furnishes abundant evidence that some OF the
local transportation lines are still stubbornly
resisting the just claims of the city for certain
payments. 1t has been common practice for
these corporations to employ every device whlch
able and ingenious lawyers could suggest IN
order to avoid the handing over TO the public
treasury of anything approaching a reasonabie
compensation for the valuable privileges winch
they have obtained. The chief steam rallroads
of the country are not allowed 10 use the busiest
and most crowded streets of great cities, as the
streetcar companies are now doing and have
been doing for long terms of years. The officers
OF these urban lines should not be striving TO
evade by every cunning scheme which they can
arrange the paying to the local authorities of
something in the way of return for the
immensely profitable favors which have been
conferred upon them.
The holders of office IN all the boroughs of
New-York and the members of the legislature
at Albany have been lavish in their bOunties to
the surface railroads, and the largess which has
been bestowed so prodigally upon these corpo-
rations has heaped up fortunes for the men
who have gained control of these generous
endowments. How much gratitude have the
streetcar directors and managers been in the
habit of showing in return for the Hberallty
with which they have usually been treated
when they asked for charters and from time to
time have requested grants of additional privi-
leges Of value? These companies have been far
bolder than the great interstate railroad sys-
TENS in applying to legislatures and to local
bodies for extensions. changes and the approval
of encroachments upon both public and private
rights And when the city mOdestly and even
timidly asks that these corporations should pay
some pitiful sums in partial compensation for
the opportunities which have been afforded
them. too often the companies try TO shuttle
away without endeavoring to meet their just
obligations. 1t is n mean spirit which is exhlh-
tied by those streetcar lines which are always
seeking 10 stave off the day Of reckoning. which
refuse to pay the just claims against them. and
which decline to act considerably and equitably
toward the communities to whose munificence
they owe so much.
