PORTO-RICORAILROAD 6

The Porto Rico Railroad Company beg
to inform the proprietors of factories and su-
gar estates that they are placing themselves
at their disposal to perform in their workshops
all the work of repairing and construction.
Their improved machinery allows them to do
this work with the greatest rapidity and pre-
cisi6n. A model foundry with the most mo-
dern and improved machinery allows them
tosmelt within 48 hours those parts that are
urgently needed. The railroad itself cantake
all the parts to the workshops, which saves
the cost of carriage.
Free transportation by the railroad lines
will be granted to our customers.
Greatly reduced prices.

THEIR LOT rs NOT UNHAPPY.

The annual receipts and expenditures for
police pensions in this city now amount TO
nearly S1,0O0,O00 a year on each side Of the
account In 1885 the totals were not far above
a quarter of what they are now. In that year
the outlay was only $25O9S5 The increase has
been rapid since then es to be somewhat
dsquieting. There are at present more than
two thousand names on the rolls. The number
of retired wearers of the uniform who are
drawing pensions exceeds one thousand while
there are about eight hundred pensiOned widows
of members of the force and nearly two hun
dred pensiOned children.
Colonel Murphy displayed generous spirit
with regard to police pensions while he was
the nominal head of the department ruled by
Devery. To their joint liberality were due the
retirements with handsome allowances for life
of more than threescore policemen while the
list Of widows pensions approved by them eX-
ceeded one hundred. If the warmhearted and
openhanded veteran had occupied his easy chair
in Mulberry-st. for long term, his lavishness
in the handing out of pension money might
have brought about troublesome complications
in the Controllers office. But fortunately for
| the taxpayers, the representative of the Demo-
cratic Club-Devery regime in the department
was not permitted TO crafty his prodigal pro-
pensties after the first day Of this year As
he passes his peaceful days Of leisure his
otium sine dignitate, possibly he regrets his
vanished opportunities. Had time enough been
given him he might have made himself as
famous as the youth who fired the Ephesian
dome.
No other community in ancient or modern
centuries ever surpassed, or even equalIed the
bountiful treatment which New York has given
10 its policemen, unless we look upon the
Pr9tor1an Guards of the Roman emperors as
a police force. When those guards sold the
empire at public Outcry TO Didius Julianus for
his brief reign of sixty-sx days they were in
the enjoyment of luxuries and riches which
even the Tammany wardmen in the Thirtieth-
st. precinct may not have attained. And then
there were the Janissaries of the Turkish
sultans. But with these possible executions
what policemen have ever been treated more
lavishy than those OF Manhattan? Their sal
aries are large and their duties are easv In
comparison with those required In other cities.
Their life Is so enviable that the pressure TO
get places on the force IS incessant Gilbert
and Sullivan may have thought that the lot Of
the London bobby" was not a happy one. but
the existence Of the New-York "cop" abounds
in felicitOus experiences
But there is an Assemblyman at Albany who
seems to think that the finest are not well
enough off already, and wants to make them
still happier. He has introduced bill that the
city shall pay for the uniforms of the patrol
men, including buttons and brads, and also for
their clubs and pistols II the legislature acts
Judlclously It Will defeat this unwise measure
Our policemen need no further gratuities or
bounties or privileges from either the State or
the city.
