PAY OF CHIEF. HOWARD.

Police Commissioners Denies Tint
Council VIII Be Asked to Incrense It.
1.-THE report that the Board of Police
Commissioners is contemplating asking
the City Council for an increase OF pay
for Major Howard is not true. It is out
Of the question. If it was ever mentioned
in a meeting of the board. never heard
Of it," is the statement made last night
by a member Of the Police Board to a re-
porter of the Dispatch.
This finally disposes Of the report If it
does not the Council Committee on Ordi-
nances, Charter and Reform would do so
if it ever came before it, and under the
rules of the Council it would have to go
there before it could be acted upon fin
ally. Major Howard will continue to
draw his $1,000 per year. and there is no
doubt that he will be perfectly satisfied
to do SO.
The announcement that the board con-
templates thorough investigation of the
entire police department seems to have
given general satisfaction yesterday. It
is not expected that anything mora will
be accomplished.

The next meeting Of the board will be

The New Orleans street-car strike was
brought to an end Sunday night, chiefly,
it is said, through the efforts of w. S.
Patterson, who led in the assault on the
Parish Prison twelve years ago, when the
eleven Italians accused Of the assassina-
ton of Superintendent Of Police Hennes-
sey. were lynched.
The Mayor, the Governor, and the
Attorney-General had vainly tried to pro-
pose some agreement that would be salts
factory to both sides; but Mr.. Parkerson
apparently had no trouble in offering a
proposition that went through.
The agreement reached, it seems, was
that the men were to return to work at
a scale of 20 cents an hour, with the as
surance that they would get ten hours
work a day, the company to make no
exception whatever as regards any of the
strikers. Traffic was resumed at II o'clock
Sunday night and yesterday almost every
line in the city was again in operation.
It was a victory for the strikers.

MIR. OLNEY.S SPEECH.

Mr.. Richard Olney's speech IN Bos-
ton Saturday night, at the dinner given
by the Democratic Club of Massachu-
sets. in honor of Colonel William A.
CASTOR, the party's candidate for Gov
ernor had the true ring. From first to
last it was pregnant with food for
thought for the American masses.
for the Democratic speaker And in his
very opening sentence, from which all the
est was logically elaborated. Mr. Olney
uggested what should be the policy and
he inspiration CT the Democratic party
from now on. He said that the party
was heading in the right direction, and
~as tolerably sure of ultimately recover
ing its o!d-tme ascendency. If the Dem
ocratic party will keep headed in the
right direction 1t is certain to recover it's
ld-time ascendency. The right direc-
hon leads to placing above men and
nXpediency the time-honored and funda-
mental principles OF the party, the tri-
nmph OF which is. to use Mr.. Olney's
words. essential to the welfare of the
American people," and involves a swing
ing back to respect for the law. It means
the spurning of such vote-catching dem
agogy as the declaration in the New
York platform in favor OF Federal govern
ment ownership OF the Pennsylvania
coal mines. 1t means the discarding of
clap-trap. the RELOCATION OF self-seekers to
the rear, and refusal to compromise on
issues that are undemocratic.
AS Mr.. Olney pointed out. the Republi-
san party stands in an attitude of con-
tempt towards the law. Almost from the
day 1t first came into power It has been
Dragging the country away from consti-
tutional moorings And from evasion and
2crpersion OF. and taking liberties with
the Constitution. in order to carry ont
'hs'r political policies and retain political
4onination. those who controlled the
party found it an easy step to defiance

TELEPHONES.
/. TwoFoLD PURPOSE.

Some of our friends are apprehenslVe
that the Dispatch does not understand
that there are other than city" license
taxes imposed upon bar-keepers mere.
They need not be afraid; we are not
irnorant of that fact We are not unln-
formed as to the United States
tax and the State tax. Nor have
we ever said that the amount of
tax proposed by Mr.. Crenshaw Gl,ooo)
IS just what 1t ought to be. We DOUBT
If it is; but that is a matter for inVesu-
cation by the City Councils Finance
Committee.
We do hold however, that there
are TOO many saloons here, and that they
ought to be thinned out, and that our
city needs much more revenue than II Is
now receiving and that the retail liquor
dealers should be required to pay more for
their licenses than they are now paying
That both Of these purposes can be &C
complished by one movement we truly be-
leve, and that. too, without exacung
from the liquor trade greater sum OF
money than is exacted in other cities Of
our rank
Another good which we should hope to
accomplish would be stricter scrutiny of
applicants than has obtained heretofore.
There are some placee-disorderly neigh
borhoods-where liquor is now sold, but
should not be. 1t is almost certain, too,
that some men hold licenses whose repu
tation would not entitle them to have
their licenses renewed. In short, upon
reissue of licenses it is likely that good
men doing business at suitable places in
the city would have the preference over
persons who could present no such adj
vantageous claims.
The time seems opportune for the city
10 increase it's income from this source.
It is for the Finance Committee to inves-
tigate the subject canvass the statistics
obtained and make a report stating
what would be a reasonable and proper
increase to accomplish the twofold pur-
pose in view.

lateral interest. They have been en-
,o.dened to this by the indifference the
people have shown TO infraction OF the
fundamental law. They have poisoneo
the atmosphere with such iawlesshess'
as Mr. Olncy described. until It's In
lection is not confined to their own party.
The heresy that combinations and money
power and policies that serve the ends
OF greed, are above the law, is wide
spread.
Mr.. Oiney's speech was call 10 an
awakening TO this condition OF aIiairs
and reassertion Of the laws supremacy.
With that and with that alone will come
the regnancy of the doctrine OF the
greatest good to the greatest number,
which is the cornerstone OF our 1nsu-
tutions and depends for its vitality upon
law supreme and equal for all men.
Not until the Democratic party RECEIVERS
its old-time ascendency will the consum-
nation be attained Nor until the party
RECEIVERS its old-time ascendency need
there be expected the carrying out OF the
economic policies in harmony with the
doctrine which will ensure practical re-
suits in the way Of diffusion of pros
perity.
Yes, the Democratic party IS heading
in the right direction. Mr.. Olney has
blazed the path for it to follow to the
end. Let it not be allured by expediency
or the Wanted influence of this or that
candidate for nomination. to turn to the
right or the left. Let it press forward to
the goal Of vindicating its immutable prin-
ciples. which are interviewer with the web
and the wool of the law, and party VIC
tory, the welfare of the American peo-
pie and the displacement of Repuoh-
canism, which Mr. Olney we'll declared
cannot come too soon" are assured.

The Last Fly of Summer.
(By Katherine l.. Daniher.)

IT'S the last fly of summer
Left buzzing alone,
All its ravenous companions
Have fattened and flown;
Each one of it's species,
Unmourned and forgot,
Has fitted away to
Some pestilent spot.
Through summers gla sunshine
Twas with us for aye,
It has swum in the cream jug
And sampled the pie;
Then when stated at last
It has chosen to skate
With fiendish delight on
Some bald, shiny pate.
In palace or howell
Twas never at rest,
At banquet and picnic
An unwelcome guest,
How gleeful its buzzing,
How joyous it rang,
When bearing disease on
Its germ-laden fang!
I'll not leave thee. thou last one,
To winters chill gloom,
AS thy comrades have vanished.
Go thou to thy doom;
No mercy I'll show thee,
To me it's but fun
To end thy existence.
So bang-but it's gone!
