Hon. KIMsEY HUsKEy comes UP to the

A month ago the name Of KIMsEr
HUsKEY was perhaps unknown outside
Of the beloved precincts of his own
county of Cherokee. To-day the world
rings with his fame, and millions Of boys

We don't know by what chicane, dis

Criticism OF Our New York Police.

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 the racial hetero-
geneity Of our population as compared
with the homogeneity of London, pointed
out radical distinction between the two
great communities.
London Is almost wholly British
community in the constitution Of Its
population, great majority Ct which is
English distinctively. i: New York the
inhabitants Of foreign birth or parent
age were about fonr-flfths of the whole
in 1900, and in Manhattan fve-sixths.
In the five years since, too, these per-
cottages have been increased. The
foreign born alone made up 81 per cent.
Of the whole population of the town in
1900, and in Manhattan APT per cent,
and during the last five years the immi-
grafton to the town from abroad has been
the greatest in it's history
Moreover, nearly two-thils 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 been alien in Ian
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
80 ,nl Go hA
police with a problem of extreme diff
Guilty. Very likely the diversity Of
languages creates something like con-
tempt among the police, so that they
may be tempted to treat the people as
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 q common sentiment among
these people of many races and Ian
guages. Undue severity, even out
RACES, by the police are not resented as
they would be if there was here 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, pretty rough crowd to handle.
That the police do as well as they do,
that New York is still one Of the most
orderly of the great communities Of the
world, might rather provoke applause
for the methods Of police regulation.

The Law Journals Discussing Judge
Rockers Case.

From Case and Comment for August.
The failure OF the attempt to remove the
Jud &c leaves him in an unenviable position.
A majority Of the Assembly have voted that
he ID guilty. and the minority who voted
against his removal quite failed to show that
oven all Of them believed him innocent.
Some Of the speeches made on his behalf in
the State Bar Association and In the Legis-
lature implicitly admitted that the charges
against him were true, when they argued
that others we're mo less guilty.
While some power to remove a Judge for
unitness is valu able one. to be held in reserve
In order to relieve the people from an intoler-
able situation that may arise. It is obvious
that legislative bodies are peculiarly unfit
to exercise 1t until they are less dominated
by the Illicit In Influences OF politics.

not only might fifty year bonds be
issued In the future but authority would
also be conferred on the Legislature to
recall all eighteen year bonds now OUT
standing and issue In their place the
longer term obligations. 10 tax To-
morrow for the payment of To-day's
debts is the scheme. urged on the ground
that Tomorrow will share equally with
To-day in the benefits arising from the
State expenditures for permanent i'm
provements.
The fourth amendment proposed Is
advocated by the labor organizations
Of the State and provides that the Leg
islature may regulate the wages and
salaries OF and the hours Of labor to
DO performed by the employees OF any
contractor or sub-contractor engaged
on public work. The demand for this
amendment arose after the Court Of
Appeals declared unconstitutional the
law which provided that no contractor
or sub-contractor employed by the State
or q municipal corporation should be
permitted to work his men more than
eight hours q day. The court held that
this restriction was In violation OF the
constitutional right Of contract, and thus
it was upset. Now the labor organiza-
tions are endeavoripg to amend the Con-
stitution to meet their wishes.
The other amendments, two in num-
Der. we're drawn for the purpose Of reliev-
ing the congestion in the Supreme Court
Of the State. One of them would add
a new section to the judiciary article Of
the Constitution, under which the Legis-
lature would have power to increase
the number of Justices in each district
until in the First and Second districts
there should be ono Justice for each
$4,000 inhabitants. and in the other dis
triots one for each $4,000 inhabitants.
Under the present arrangement the
First Judicial district has twenty-five
Justices. or, according to the census OF
1900, one to every $500 inhabitants II
it had one to every s0,0OO inhabitants
there would be twepty-six Justices In
the district The second amendment
to tho Judiciary article would allow
Supreme Court Justices assigned to the
Appellate Divisions to perform the func-
tious of Justices Of the Supreme Court
In departments other. than their own
when not engaged in their appellate
work. This is prohibited by the Consti-
tuition as it now reads.
These six propositions. with the $5O,-
OOO, 900 road improvement proposal, make
UP the seven amendments which have
passed two Legislatures. All are to
be adopted or rejected this fall. The
voter who would act intelligently on
them must take pretty serious course
in constitutional law.

Incomplete Fusion.

The invitations extended by the Odell
county committee to conference on
August 81 fail to include the most rep
resentative organizations committed to
municipal ownership.
The real originators OF the plan for
thwarting the great public utility corpo-
rations in their alleged effort ITO control
and misuse the government OF this city
against the interests OF all our people
are the Populists and the Socialists. 10
them no invitation to confer has been
addressed by ODELL
In this city last year there were 23,2N
votes cast by the Debs Socialists, 4,5s4 by
the Socialist Laborites, and 4,57G by the
Watson Populists. They polled together
81, 500 votes. The addition Of these votes
TO the column OF fusion would assur-
edly Offset q part Of the detection OF
Republican voters scared away by the
fusion" proposal.
The Debs Socialists at their Chicago
convention last year declared for pub
; lie ownership OF the means Of transpor-
/, tation, communication and exchange. I"
The Socialists Of the Labor branch de-
clared for an end to the existing bar
barous class conflict by placing the land
and all the means of production, trans
portation and distribution into the hands
6f the people as collective body.
The Populists at Springfield, H., re-
solved that ITO prevent discrimination
and monopoly the Government should
own and control the railways"

not include the Socialists and Populists

The second error works injustice to

some Liberals, out Of the "a members OF

Of claimants among their constituents.
We do believe that II Mr.. PALMA had

which he vetoed, which In our judgment
was n mora commendable and less dis
graceful measure than the rapacious
