Last Friday little boat started out over Lake Michigan from Chicago quite unostentatously. When far out from shore. where 1t was unobserved load of revolvers, knives. billies dlrks, the plunder from the persons of hundreds of criminals. were dump ed overheard according to the provl- sion of the new Chicago ordinance which so provides. In no way can these particular implements of crime get into the eager hands of wrong doers again. The old and absurd policy of auctioneering off conhscat- ed weapons, and thus of rearming the criminal elements" said the Chi cago Record Herald, "ls happily a thing of the past" It Is wise policy. If more of our cities would strictly enforce their ordinances which for bid the carrying of weapons on the person and would do away with them in this way, instead of putting them into circulation again, 1t would be a long step toward the effectual mini mixing of crime,

questionable whether all New England does,
 It Is only a lucky chance that gives to any city unexcelled breathing-places, so near at hand, as New Haven can boast, New Haveners who do not get near to nature for at least few hours each day, while they are not employed, can have only themselves to blame. For those who cannot afford the car fare there are the parks of New Ha- ven, that circle the city almost In a continuous belt from Fort Hale to Westville, In them the weary city worker certainly should find rest and comfort and cooling breezes, If there are any to be had at all.
 But 1t is the watering places, so near to New Haven, which really gives lt exceptional opportunities in the sum. mer season. Many cities consider themselves lucky if they have good harbor and possibly one shore, but New Haven has the best of harbors and two shores. BCoua Fenwick to Morris Cove the east shore is availa- ble by easy and speedy access. From Stratford to City Point the west shore offers attractions that are no less com- polling Where is there city with such resorts as Woodmont, Milford, Morris Cove, Cosy Beach, Short Beach, or Double Beach so accessible, almost at it's very doorstep? with savin Rock and Momauguin well established as amusement resorts of different natures and with Lighthouse Point, with It's unexcelled situation, promising to be- come worthy third. the city seems well provided for in summer.

The Significance of Mack.
lsprlngtleld Republlcan.)


 One learns editorially from the New York Evening Post that the choice of Norman F. Mack as chairman of the democratic national committee "is a pretty plain notification that MT. Bry- an does not care for the support of the Independents and the remnant of the Cleveland democracy in New York state Mir. Macks character and ante cedents will repel rather than attract voters of this type" But from the news columns of the same paper we learn that although he (Mack) has always been Bryan democrat. he has been able to keep the friendship of the independent wing of the party, and particularly the gold democrats" II does not appear anyhow that Mfr Mack's selection repels Thomas NJ, os- borne of Auburn, leading gold demo- crat, for MT. Osborne addresses his let ter to the new democratic chairman In announcing his support of Bryan in the present campaign. Osborne's course is being regarded In New York state at of large significance in relation to the attitude likely 10 be taken by New York gold democrats as Q rule in tht campaign,

ARMS AND THE POLICEMAN.

It may be that an occasional hap pening may argue against the carry Ing of firearms even by the members of our police forces, Such an in- stance Is at hand in q Brooklyn shooting of contemporary interest, in which there is good reason to be- lleve member of the Brooklyn po- lice force wilfully shot young wom- an with whom he had an unfortunate affair of the heart. But, even when firearms are in the hands of the right sort of policemen, they frequently of- fer serious element of danger. In the recent miX-up at Jamaica Plains, Boston, this fact was shown to nice ty According to the careful esti- mates of the Boston papers, It Is said that no less than 500 to 1000 shots were fired by 300 policemen in at tempt to round up few despera- does of which only five took effect. Nearly every day in our large cities this time of the year an instance Is at hand where an officer has tried to kill stray animal but has taken q half dozen shots to accomplish his end, the while endangering everything and everybody within shooting distance quite as much as the unfortunate an- imal.
 Yet there are many times in the routine of a policeman's life when 1t is quite imperative that he should be able to bring down Il fugitive with well-aimed shot or defend himself against heavy odds in tlcklish sltua- ton. If there are instances where the privilege of carrying loaded arms has been abused by policemen, as in the case in Brooklyn, such instances simply point to the necessity there Is that the members of our police forces should be men who have been select ed with great care as to their fitness and reliability. And if their aim as marksmen, in cases where they were using their weapons advisably, has been quite generally poor, that fact need only be used as an argument | for them to improve their marksman- ship by practice. but not to take their revolvers from them.
 The Boston Herald makes reference to the many forms of target practice that the navy and army have been in- dulging in within the last year or two and to the great improvement that has been shown by the men. That paper urges similar awakening in the police boards of American cities It is a good point to be urged in New l Haven. No one knows when a gang | of desperadocs may be running Wild through the streets, just as they were In Boston the other day. The re- volver is weapon of great possibili- ties With 1t some very accurate shooting has been done by experts but to be an expert with the revol- yer, man must not only acquire skill but must continually practice to re- tain that skill. New York's is prac- tically the only police force in the country that has had extended revol' yer practice, but even there 1t has only been indulged in spasmodically.
