Crops. Conditions have been favorable
for ripening canes and for grinding which

indicate slight Improvement in the grad'

The new police bill passed BY the House
yesterday increases the powers Of the Police
Commissioners, and gives then the right to
employ discharge and court m artial men Of
the force. 1t is not believed that this bill
will pass the upper House ss it limits the
authority of the Governor, and makes him
virtually subservisnt to the Commission.
The bill with certain sections taken out
would certainly be an excellent measure.
The administrative work should be left to
the chief, but the highest responsibility
should rest on the Commissioners. The new
bill does not so provide, but leaves matters
Of mere detail to the regulation Of tho CON-
missioners.
