The Six Other Amendm ents.

Besides the proposition for the amend
ment OF the State Constitution designed
to empower the Legislature to pass a
law authorizing the contracting OF
debt OF $50, 900 900 for the Improvement OF
highways, which would become effective
without the approval OF the voters, to
which THE Sun directed attention yester-
day, six other proposed Constitutional
amendments are to be voted upon by the
people this fall, making seven questions
affecting the fundamental law to which
the electors will be asked to answer Yes"
or mo on the official ballot November 7.
Since the adoption Of the Constitution as
revised by the convention Of 1894 five
amendments thereto have been sub
mitted to the people, four in 1899 and
one in 1901. All of them were approved
at the polls.
The first amendment on which the
voters will pass this year is one advo-
Gated by the municipal government Of
New York city for the purpose of in
oreasing it's debt mourning capacity.
Under the Contribution the city is pro-
hibited from mourning debts in excess
of 10 per cent. Of the assessed valuation
OF the real estate therein, and in compu-
ting its indebtedness all long term bonds
are included, whatever the purpose for
which they have been issued. Tho Water
Department of the city is moro than
self-sustaining and returns q profit to
the municipal treasury each year. In
view of this, it is proposed to ALLOW the
city to exclude water bonds issued after
January 1, 1904, from the computation
OF its indebtedness when its borrowing
capacity is to be ascertained. In 1900
the debts OF the counties included within
the city after consolidation were ex-
cluded from this computation, >and il
the present proposition is approved by
the voters it unquestionably will be
followed by other proposals for the
exclusion of bonds issued for the benefit
OF other self-sustaining or profitable
municipal enterprises. 1t is proposed
to make an important change in the
financial policy Of the city the ultimate
consequences Of which 1t would be diff
ficult to foIetell.
As this amendment would affect vitality
the city's financial operations, so two
proposed changes In Article VII. would
have far reaching effects on the man.
agement Of the States money piatters.
BY the addition OF new section it is
proposed to modify the provision Of
the Constitution which now requires
that a direct tax shall be levied and
collected to pay the interest and prinoi-
pal Of each debt incurred by the State.
by granting power to the Lcgisla-
ture to pay such interest and principal
out of any money in the treasury, and
in any year when the general funds are
sufficient to meet these charges to re-
nit the taxes otherwise to be imposed
for these purposes. This is part Of

Criticism Of Our New York Police,

Criticism OF Our New YORK PONCE
Our correspondent Of yesterday who
explained the difference In the attitude
Of the London and New York police
toward the inhabitants Of the town
as consequence of tho racial hetero-
geneity Of our population as compared
with the homogeneity Of London, pointed
out radical distinction between the two
great communities.
London il almost wholly q British
community in the constitution Of it's
population, q great majority Of which is
English distinctively. In New York the
inhabitants OF foreign birth or parent
age were about fonr-ffths Of the whole
in 1900, and in Manhattan five-sixths.
In the Ave years since, too, these per-
centages have been increased. The
foreign born alone made up 81 per cent
Of tho whole population OF the town IN
1900, and in Manhattan Al per cent,
and during the last five years the immi-
grafton to the town from abroad has been
the greatest in its history.
Moreover, nearly two-thirds OF those
foreigners in 1900 came here ignorant
Of our English speech, and of the vast
crowd of immigrants since 1900 all ex-
cept very few have boon alien in Lam
guage. They represent about fifty dif-
ferent nationalities, and many Of them
are scarcely civilized in any high sense.
This race heterogeneity, unexampled
in any single community in the history
of mankind. confronts the New York
police with a problem Of extreme diff
Guilty. Very likely the diversity OF
languages creates something like con-
tempt among the police, 80 that they
may be tempted to treat the people az
cattle to be driven. 1t certainly could
not be expected to cultivate in them
suavity OF demeanor and respect for
those whom they are appointed to guard
and discipline.
Nor, as our correspondent said, can
there be a common sentiment among
these people OF many races and Ian
guages. Undue severity, even out
RACES, by the police are not resented az
they would be If there was hero the
kindred race sentiment which prevails
in London Terms Of reproach are used
by one race in speaking Of Others.
Rough police treatment Of Jew or an
italian does not provoke bitter protests
from native Americans or from Irish
men and Germans They may rather
find satisfaction in observing it.
These facts should be borne in mind
by people disposed to sharp criticism
OF the New York police. The problem
for the police here is far more difficult
than in any other great city of the world,
for here they are called on to deal with
the most heterogeneous population on
the face OF the earth, and something
like half Of it ignorant Of our Ian
guage and our customs; very much Of
it, too. q pretty rough crowd to handle.
That the police do as well as they do
that New York is still ono Of the most
orderly of the great communities Of the
world, might rather provoke applause
for the methods Of police regulation.

MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York. Dec. oS.-Tha organized spec
ulation in control Of the stock market
showed the courage Of its convictions to-
day by buying stocks and putting up
prices in face of rates for call inoncy ut
100 per cent. and above. Large amounts
were lent on the Stock Exchange at 10
per cent. and funds We're placed outside
the exchange at 125 per cent. So long
as money could be had at these terms the
rates were determined not to be prohibi-
tive Of the holding of stocks on margins,
and they We're paid rather than sell out
stock holdings. They We're pair also on
the assumption that the high rate may
hold or even he exceeded on the remain
ing days of the week. There was some
thing OF a scramble to unload stocks dur
Ing the early transactions in the market
owing to an apprehension that it would

any terms. Probably the liquidation thus
effected caused some relief in the money
tension. The extraordinary interest rates
also had their effect in bringing offer
pected sources. There was urgent de-
mand for time loans for TIE shorter pe-
RODS as well as for the small loans. ana
the commission demanded to secure 60 and
10 day funds made the interest rate equiv
alent to per cent. The late relapse in
the money rate to 6 per cent was of no
Significance. most demands having been
satisfied before that rate was touched,
but the speculative confidence was MAIN
tanned and the market closed active and
strong. Anaconda mining was n sensa-
tional feature and the other copper and

The Right to Privacy.

The persecution to which men are
subjected who are in any way in the
public eye has been carried to lengths
which are revolving. Photography has
a legitimate role in the preparation Of
the record of the worlds events. The
reading public takes pleasure in seeing
a representation of the scenes and the
actors of the many dramas which are
constantly being unfclded. The old
time pictures, drawn by artists far
from the action and relying chiefly
upon vivid imaginations, We're less ac-
curate and less interesting than those
produced by photography. When the
use of a picture is legitimate there can
be no valid objection to the use of
proper means to obtain a photograph
But there are scenes whose portraiture
is out of place in any publication en-
tering the home. There are moments
when only the morbid and mentally un-
sound would wish to fntrude. Only
the most callous could wish to break in
upon misery and gloat over the signs
