TIE POLICE BILL.

About the only suggestion of Mr.. Platt's police
programme which survives in the bill submitted
10 both branches Of the Legislature on Wednes-
day is the provision empowering the Governor
10 remove the Police Commissioner Of this city
whenever in his judgment 1.-THE public interests
so require" The bestowal Of this authority on
the Governor is sure TO be opposed, sincerely and
not without reason, both by those who think that
no serious violation of the doctrine of home rule
is tolerable and by those who are less tenacious
on that point but who hold as a general prin-
ciple that hearing on specific charges ought to
precede the dismissal of an important public
functionary. With respect TO the first Of these
objections we are disposed to believe that the
application OF the home rule doctrine can be
carried too far. and that in this instance mas
much as the purpose is 10 cure a deep seated
disease By means of an heroic remedy, it is just
as well 10 be frankly and extremely radical. AS
for the second objection il would be more for
midable, al least more likely TO win assent. if
IT had not just been seen how difficult it is for
an executive 10 justify a removal strictly on the
evidence presented, and consequently 10 avoid
the appearance of an arbitrary exercise of
power. Thus. Governor Roosevelt was censured
for removing District Attorney Gardiner by not
a few scrupulous critics who considered him
utterly unfit for his place, who probably were
u.
and whose satisfaction would have been unal-
loyed If the Governor had not been nominally
required to base his action on the disclosures of
a semi-judicial proceeding
The other distinctive provisions of the bill. by
which separate Bureau of Elections is made
necessary. the Office of Chief of Police is abol-
ished. single Commissioner, TO be appointed
by the Mayor and removable at his pleasure is

ecutive authority OF the Department and its
financial management is transferred TO the Con-
frolier. are ready, under the circumstances,
10 approve. For the present, at least, the posi-
biIijes for good of the so called bipartisan sys-
TEN have been utterly discredited. while its
possibilities for evil have been abomnably EN-.
ployed. The resulting situation is insupport
able. and there is no assurance that under the
rule of Tammany any half way measure would
Improve il. There is sufficient reason TO believe
that this community Is not merely reconciled to
the passage of a drastic bill like that now before
the Legislature, but actually demands its pas
sage The apparent temper both of the major
fly and minority at Albany makes unnecessary
delay improbable. and may fairly hope that

GREAT ATHLETIC CLUBS.

The marvellous development of high class
athletics in this country is shown by the fact
that at least three American cities contain ath-
letic clubs in which the membership runs far up
into the thousands. And in every one the an
nual reports indicate conditions of admirable
management and sound prosperity. Moreover,
most of our larger cities possess similar organi-
cations
Clubs of the foremost rank do much valuable
work in promoting sport and keeping it Clean
May they steadily gain in numbers and re-
sources. The new century opens we'll for anna
teur sport in America, and even professional
sports are likely to excel the achievements of
last year in certain lines.
New-York tribune., 1901-01-11

sounded, the requisite conditions Of escape and
recovery are about TO be established.
One detail of the scheme seems to us TO be of
doubtful wisdom. The salary which it provides
for the Commissioner of Police is only $780,
and the question arises whether the services of
man fit for the place are likely to be procur
able for that sum. He is to WELD the entire
power of the Department commanding a force
Of some eight thousand men charged with the
duty Of protecting the lives and property of
nearly half the people of the State. That is an
enormous responsibility, and the man who ac-
cepts 1t is entitled to liberal recompense if he
is competent and determined to discharge it
well. Many persons of inferior character and
ability would be glad 10 take it at that salary
or at no salary at ALL and there may be others
eminently qualified with whom the rate of pay
ment would not be controlling or important
consideration. But it may not be safe to reckon
on such good fortune, even if 1t is becoming to
attach so moderate a salary to so great an
office. Economy is wise and proper. but parsi-
mony is neither creditable nor, in the long run
economical.

was then a lieutenant. shot while carrying
wounded private to place OF safety under the
enemys fire. The private died beside Butler when
they were brought to a place of safety. Though
his wound had not yet healed, Butler went to
Peking taking part in all the fighting. He
again wounded at the taking of Peking, but refused
to go to the rear, and was chosen to carry
sage to Minister Conger. When he reached the
Minister the latter asked him what his name was.
On hearing 1t Mr., Conger exclaimed. My boy.
friend and had the next desk TO mine" After the
battle Butler gave in and went to the hospital,
where he had siege of typhoid fever. He
was again sent the hospital in the Philippines,
and was on the sick list of the transport Grant
when she sailed for San Francisco. He recovered
on the way and is now in fair health.

THE LARGEST B4TTLESHIP.

What Is to Be the Battleship of the Future?"
was the title of paper read by one of the dele
gates at the Congress of Naval Architects in
Paris last summer. And the question would
seem 10 be a potent one, whether asked then,
to-day or in the next decade The Powers of
the world have taken more active part in max
ing naval history in the last five years than ever
before in the same given time. and when the
new 15OO0ton battleships We're projected by
the American naval administration few
months ago, following so soon the Formidable
and her class of the British navy, of about the
same displacement, it thought that the
limit had been reached. But Italy concluded to
do better and build two battleships of 10000
tons displacement EACH And now, within the
last few days, the British Admiralty has 0p-
proved of plans for two battleships which are
intended to be the largest in the world. But
these projected warships 10 be of only 1S,OOO
tons each, little more than one-half the size OF
one suggested a few months ago by naval
architect that is TO displace $1,000 tons.
1t is, of course not impossible that in gener-
alton or two from now such monster may be-
come a typical ship; but, on the whole, 1t is
scarcely probable 1t has taken forty years to
advance from batteship of $500 tons to the
16000ton ship; and it was twenty-fOur years
ago that the present type of battleship-the
was laid down. And these are of 11,0O0 tons
each. or only 1000 tons less displacement than
Englands projected monsters.

to make joyous optimists out of people who can

And the glum and taciturn persons who cross
