All things considered. you blame the ma
tives for nursing a grievance apparently so well
founded
1t may be well. perhaps to record here the
fact that In Spanish days the total police force.
including the Guardia Civil, the Vigilantes OF
Secret Service men. carabineros and others, NUM-
bered 9S3. am unable to say what this force
cost the government. but. the total municipal
expenditures of Manila at that time did not ex-
ceed $4,000 in gold year. it is fair to assume
that the police department entailed the expendi-
ture of about one-fourth of that sum, or Si9.-
600. This is a liberal estimate.
Under Colonel Wilder. the former American
Chief of Police it was planned to keep a force Of
about 1000 men-50O Americans and 200 ma
tives This was a substantial decrease from
of the American occupation. What the cost Of
the force 1t is impossible to say. as IN
order to reach a correct estimate you would
have to include the salaries and the pay OF of1i-
GERS and men detailed temporarily to police duty
from the army. What the police department OF
Manila cost under the first five months Of the
present year is found in report of Paymaster
Downey, dated May 81. 1t S19I.259. or
more than 5000, 900 if we include the Secret Ser
vice. which cost $6,o23 more. and would indi-
cate yearly expenditure. therefore. Of moro
year contemplate slight reduction in the
strength of the force. but substantial cut in
cost.
In short. we have raised the expenditures OF
this single department in the administration OF
the city from $4,000 year. the sum which the
Spanards paid. to over S5OO,OOO. which we ex-
pend now And this. mind you not In abnormal
times, either but in times Of comparative peace.

France. There were many circumstances
attending this mission of very irritating
character While in Paris two letters, evi-
IDENTIFY written 10y Marshall. were sent by
the mission to Tallcyrand. These letters
were spoken of with great admiration and
when published in this country were re-
Ccivcd by congress and the people generally
as a perfect vindicatiOn of the course e
our government. when Marshall returned
to this country he was received at Phiia-
drlphia with great distinction, and from
that time he was considered as one of the
most implrtant men in the country. shortly
aft,rward he was appointed secretary or
war. and after IA few months service in that
Office was appointed secretary of state. Al
though he held this position for only a
brief period he had occasion TO instruct our
minister in London upon grave differences
between that country and ours, in which,
with dignity and great carnostncss, he re
scntcd the diCtation of the English govern
mont. Near the close of President Adams
administration he appointed Marshall chief
justice and he took his seat upon the bench
on February t. 1901
one singular fact may be noticed in con-
noction with his judicial character. Before
his appointment ii was the practice of the
court for each of the judges to deliver his
opinion in every case, but when Marshall
acted as chief justice this practice was
abandoned and he or some other Judge gen
orally delivered single opinion expressing
the judgment OF the court. Marshall, how
ever, during his whole term delivered most
of the opinions In the volume of reports
containing the decisions of the earliest
years of his service, that being the second
volume of Cranch reports, he delivered all
q he OpiniOnS lllt two Durinu his form
of service about 200 judgments were rem
dered by the court and Marshall delivered
the opinions in more than two-thirds of
them.
He died in Philadelphia on July &, 1895.
From the day of his death to this day, the
one hundrcdth anniversary of the day On
which he took his seat in the court as chief
justice, his memory has been held in great
reverence by all generations.
