THE POLICE LNnnLRT

The men who. as an unofficial committee of
cltlzens are now considering the police situa-
don perhaps with more hope than reasonable
expectation of solving problem which has long
baff1ed everybody else, will make a mistake if
they permit the impression to be created that
lhey regard themselves as pre-eminently quail
ned for their task or peculiarly devoted to the
public welfare, and that they are disdainfuI of
the press. They should reflect that. if it had
not been for the newspapers, their services
would never have been invoked, and that. if
they should be so fortunate as to devise a
Feasible plan for the improvement of present
conditions, they would be eager to obtain news
paper support and helpless without it.
OF course publicity is sometimes harmful tn
good undertaking because premature and seri-
Gus journals like The Tribune are DESTROYS not
TO embarra IS the committee in that way. They
will be entirely satisfied if Mr. Fox and his col
leagues. when they have nothing of value to
communicate to their representatives, frankly
and courteously say so, thus suitably recogniz.

our water system. The other is that such ex-
tension should be sought through some more
energetic. efficient and altogether acceptable
agency than the present maladroit Aqueduct
Commission.
There is a proposal at Albany for solution
of the water problem which, we are Informed,
may enable this city to begin work year or
two hence. That it may as well be said frank
~, is not satisfactory. Any further extension
of our water system worthy of the name and
of the need viii take a number of years to COM
plete, even if it be pressed theoretically as
public works are pressed elsewhere. There
should not, therefore, be a years or a months
delay in beginning work. The plans are now
ready for the best possible extension. All that
is needed is the legal authorization. That ought
to be secured within few weeks at most, and
before the coming summer is fairly begun the
great works which are so necessary to this cap
ital of the Western world should be under way.
If the Cross River dam and other works in the
Croton region will really do any good-of which
we confess we have our doubts-by all means
let us get at them right away. Most urgent of
all is the need Of such legislation at Albany as
will give practical effect to the plans there pre-
scented by the city government in its pending
bill and will enable this municipality to get to
work on its new water supply without a days
unnecessary delay.

The conviction of Coroner Jackson on an in
dictment charging him with an effort to eXtOrt
bride is extremely significant In the past there
have been several instances of attempted black
mail and eXtOrtiOn by cOroners, although the
present occupants OF the of1ce-Jackson except
ed-may be wholly free from suspicion. The
office Of coroner in this city has usually fallen
into the hands of cheap politicians, and the work
has been carried on at unreasonable expense
and in ways wholly unsatisfactory to the best
interests of the county.
New-York has had for long time sufficient
reason for following the example of progressive
towns in other States which have relieved them
selves of the expensive burden of the cOroners'
offices, and various attempts have been made
here to accomplish this reform. The legislature
last year passed bill to free us of the system
but the measure encountered the veto of the
Mayor and failed to become law. The whole
question has been gone over thoroughly again
and again in the columns of the press and the
discussions of legislative bodies and the popu-
lar verdict has long been rendered in favor of
abolishing the whole coroners' system.

4 RESSLAN LETTEP

A significant light is cast upon the state of
unrest pervading all classes in Russia bv the
personal message of q prominent Russian tn q
friend in this country which we are permitted
TO publish For obvious reasons it would not
do TO give the writer's name or furnish any hint
of his identity. He belongs, however. to
wealthy family which is on terms of intimacy
with the imperial household. He is related to
members of the Ministry and is himself high
Official. His message written in French
on one OF the Red Cross picture postal cards
winch have been sold in large numbers to swell
the fund to care for the victims of Japanese
bullets. His words literally translated are:
l had wished to write thee letter. above all.
unpopular, and all desire our own defeat
We hope that it viii open the eyes of the com
mon people TO the fraud of our government
which is universally hated. One hears on ali
SIDES tnat the japanese are fighting for free
dom-there is nowhere the slightest feeling
against the japanese.
How this remarkable sentiment ever came TO
be let out of Russia is subject for speculation,
but certainly it came out by mail and was duly
delivered In this country by the postal authori.
ties Perhaps the fact that it was written ON
Red Cross postal card disarmed suspicion
and it passed the censor unread as the surely
harmless phrases OF some patriot who was
helping the national cause by sending these
cards broadcast. Perhaps the daring of putting
such words on any card their passport
and, while any letter would have been scru-
tiniZed it was assumed that what was Openly
submitted to review would not need it. Per-
hapS ii fell into the hands of some official who
sympathiZed with its sentiments and so let it
through. Perhaps the government finds disaf-
lection so universal and is confronted with such
grave problems in preventing overt revolution
that it cannot afford to notice mere words
Whatever the explanation, the situation is ex-
traOrdinary and unprecedented. Assuming that
one of the first three suggestions accounts for
the transmission of the message still the habit
of free speech must have developed wonder
fully to induce the writer to take the chances
Of sending such card Suppose the card had
been read! Suppose reactiOnary instead of Il
liberal official had come upon il. In ordinary
times no man who was not seeking exile would
have taken such risk. And this man is no
revOlutioniSt He reflects feeling in court cir
ces, and certainly would never put such words
TO paper if they were dangerously peculiar.
If on 'alI Sides among the Russian upper
classes it is said that the Japanese are fighting
for Russian freedom and intelligent Rus
sian can report 1--WE all desire own defeat"
on what precarious foundation must the whole
bureaucracy, with its domestic and foreign
troubles, stand? However we may consider
this letter, it is prophetic of important changes
in Russian society.

The eruption of Momotombo, in Nicaragua.
will doubtless set many people to saying ii is a
good thing went to Panama to cut the canal
instead of Nicaragua, since the latter place is
menaced by volcanoes and earthquakes. That
may be. But must remember that Panama
too, is subject TO such disturbances The chief
lesson seems to be that we should cut a sea level
canal TO which earthquakes could do little
harm instead of a high level canal which a
shock Of half a minute might put out OF com
mission fer years. Suppose, for example that
we built that monstrous dam at Bohio, and
that 1t were cracked by earthquake. We
should have one of the most appalling disasters
on record.
