There are dozens of people in every
community who lie awake nights planning
ways and means of getting into new kinds
OF trouble. One Of these, connected in some
way with the postofIice department lives
IN Washington. He has got the ear of
Henry c. Payne and secured an indorse-
ment for his scheme to put the f2ce Of
some American woman on some one of

odd million women who are proud of the
fact that they are Americans can throw
things at it, verbal and solid. What zeal
ousies are 10 be stirred up pending the
settlement of which womans face is to
adorn the stamp cannot be foretold even
by Il census taker
Not every one of them is entitled 10
consideration, but what scores of them
have done something which many of their
fellows think would render them eligible
for an honor so great. There are people
over in New England for instance. who
do -- know any good reason why Har-
riet Beecher Stowe should not be favored
They cannot be made to believe that her
Uncle Toms Cabin" did not 20 more TO

himself But such a stamp would strike
a fro Of awful universalitv. so TO sneak
Just over Mason & Dixon's line. South
Carolina, Tor one, would much rather Use
the express or a long distance telephone
than put one of the Stowe stamps on a
letter. So Mrs. Stowe may as well be
dropped at once
But there are others Mrs. Potter
Palmer, of Chicago, is eligible If for no
other reason because she has had her
picture in more American newspapers
and oftener than any other woman living
- or dead. Nobody worth mentioning would
ever have to ask whose face was on the
stamp Besides, Mrs. Palmer has been
doing things these dozen years or more
including valiant work at the Chicago and
Paris fairs. And, too, she has made a
lot Of money, which is not regarded with
disfavor by the fair sex when it comes
TO fixing ones social status.
Then there is Mol Pitcher, whose name
comes down through the pages of q. hun

The chief present interest in the situa-
ton centers in the question whether the
administration of Mayor Low will adopt
the Tammany remedy, and do what Tam
many was preparing to do when the wave
of moral and political purity swept over
the big city, which we now see receding
and leaving behind it many unsightly OBJ
jects exposed to view.
During three successive Republican re-
form administrations in this town we
have had practical demonstration of the
truth that in the police department Will
be found the source of all prevailing i'm
morality. If crime is rampant in any COM
mUnity, it is because the police wink at
or participate in it's fruits. They did wink
at it, and they did participate in it in
this city under Doran and Kiefer, and to
some extent under Wright; and we had
a condition Of things prevailing which
placed the persons, homes and property
of citizens at the mercy of criminal
marauders of all kinds. When Mayor
Smith came into power he reorganized the
police. That department is now run on
strictly business principles. It sUppresses
crime, protects life and property, detects
and Furnishes criminals. There is no crime
in the city, and the people are satisfied
that affairs outside of the police depart
ment are managed honestly and econom-
icaIly.
When the reformers down in New
York are really DESTROYS of suppressing
vice they will look to the police depart
ment to do it, not by turning out Dem
ocrats and putting in Republicans; but by
turning out corrupt and incapable mer
and putting in honest and skilled police
men, as the st. Paul police board has
done with such gratifying results during
