may be necessary at certain times of
public danger and disturbance. These
should not be exercised In ordinary
times. Considerations of public pol
icy, should have great weight in de-
termining police action.
In countries enjoying free consti-
tutional governments like Great
Britain and the United States, al
though the police have summary con-
troll over a large class OF matters,
involving both public and private in
terests, yet the exercise OF this au-
thority is absolutely regulated by
law, the police officer being at once
amenable to the correction and pun
ishment of the law, for any abuse of
authority. He Is also subjected to
the restraint and control of that most
beneficial and wholesome Of all cor

In Continental Europe, excepting
France, the exercise OF police author
ity goes beyond anything known in
Great Britain or the United States.
In Russia the police service has been
degraded by centuries of ignorance
and despotism. There, the secret po-

the insurgents, the stern watchwords
In their ranks were: Remember
Cawnpur, no quarter" They shot
and bayonetted every red demon they
came upon, until the very name OF
the 18th Highlanders struck terror to
the souls of these horrid miscreants.
There is no more thrilling incident
in history than the final relief of
Lucknow by the 42nd Highlanders,
under Sir Colin Campbell. This
town, with a large number OF Eng
disappearing women and children,
was garrisoned by a small British
force. Beseiged by the insurgents,
the most heroic resistance was made,
but the defenders we're reduced to
the last extremity. with the fate of
Cawnpur staring them in the face.
Col. Campbell arrived Just in time
with his glorious Highlanders, and
raised the seige, driving the beseiging
insurgents like chan before him. On
the afternoon of that fateful day, a
Scotch lassie, rousing from her swoon
occasioned by hunger and weakness,
said to her companion: Jennie, Use

bonnie old Scotland, that the lads and

the village green to dance, that l

suddenly ceasing to speak, she sprang
to her feet, with shrek, crying out,
'EHist, Jennie. 'dinna her the slo-

the sandy plain outside. there came
to their ears. pretenaturally sharpen
ed by hunger, and sickness, the
sound of the bagpipes of the advanc-

from childhood. Then rushing
through the streets of the town, Wild
ly flinglng her arms about, she
screamed, I'VE are saved, we are
saved. Dlnna hear the slogan? It's
my countrymen, the Highlanders,
they are coming; We are saved" The
faint music Of the bag-pipes falling
upon the ears of the poor distressed
girl. in her swoon-like sleep had oc-
casioned her dream! This beauti-
full and touching episode has been
embaImed in tradition, story and
song.
The horrible atrocities committed
by the Sepoy insurgents during the
Indian mutlny. so shocked the
mind OF the civilized world. that the
British Government adopted the
sternest policy Of retribution and re-
preston. At Delhi, number OF the
leaders OF the mutiny we're chained
to the mouths OF cannon, and blown
to pieces. This was most dreadful,
but its effect was immediate and last
ingly salutary As according to the
faith OF the Hindoo, no more dread

leave this world dismembered. The
course. however, was afterwards pur-
sued Of organizing a powerful body
of native Indian police. which at this
day. drilled and instructed, accord

This high standard Of excellence to
which the American policeman is ex-

to him, as 1t pre-supposes in the in

and effectiveness OF this police, that
the abhorrent crimes OF the fanatical
wretches called Thugs and Dacoits,
once so prevalent in India, were sup
pressed, and are now unknown. In
Sicily the "carabiniers," as the semi
military police there are styled, are
very severe in their dealing with the
hill bandits, the assassins, and Grim
inals, that have so often infested that
country, and this with the most bene-
fetal results. In Spain and Mexico,
the national police. termed "rurales, .
are ever present, very alert, possess
great power and are thoroughly
efficacious.
1t Is only in free countries, such
as Great Britain and the United
States, countries enjoying free con-
stitutional government, governments
responsible to the people who are
freemen, that the true, high standard
OF police service is found, that the
ideal police officer is evolved, that
We find courage. efficiency, sagacity,
devotion to duty, unmixed with bru-
tally or tyranny. 1t is here that we
find the police officer In his most
splendid development, presenting in
his mind and character the very gen.
ius of rational liberty, and free insti-
buttons. The constitutional rights OF
the citizen are perfectly understood,
and defended by law His home is
sacred. He is shielded from arbi-
trary arrest. AS finely expressed by
the law-writer: Though his domicile
be never so rude. though 1t be thatch-
ed with stray, the wind and the rain
might enter it at will, but the King
cannot. The duties and responsible
ties, the obligations, resting upon the
really conscientious officer, are ex-
acting and onerous to the last degree.
Indeed the requirements and expecta-
tions of the public are often extreme
" unreasonable. The police officer
is supposed to be endowed with
ubiquity. 1t is generally demanded
OF him, that he should be every where,
at one and the same time, He is
charged with the preservation OF the
peace and the enforcement OF the law.
He stands as the bulwark OF society,
against lawlessness and disorder. In
his mind and person. are represented,
the dignity end majesty OF the law.
The American policeman's duties are
so varied, and complex. that It Is diff
ficult to satisfactorily enumerate and
define them. 1t Is his duty to ar
rest criminals, and those who dfsre-
gard the law, and defy It's officers. He
Is especially charged with the protec-
ton OF the weak and helpless. He
is the guardian OF the peace, the pro-
tector OF the persons, lives and prop
erty OF the citizens. The sword and
shield welded by the strong arm OF
the law. The mainstay and defend
er Of modern civilized society. In
addition to the functions growing out
OF his plain and foremost duty, as a
peace and law officer, he must act as
public guide to strangers, visiting his
city, on business or pleasure, as pro-
tector OF ladies and children. He
must be a defender ana helped OF
the weak and unfortunate generally. |

factories, its countless hives of in

busy workers. Its vast population
drawn from all parts of the British
Isles, and many other lands; a city
OF churches, seminaries OF learning,
benevolent institutions, and human
izing and elevating influences OF all
kinds, yet city where drunkenness
and crime Is often prevalent, requires
powerful police force. This It
possesses, in large body of police,
composed principally of Irishmen and
Highland men, mainly recruited from
young men who have served in the
Irish and Highland regiments OF the
British army. Their military habits
and experience, their knowledge of
discipline. renders them peculiarly
acceptable, and fitted for police duty.
The force is finely organized, very
effective. and regarded as a model
for police corps. The entire police
system of Great Britain is made sym
metrical by promotions for merit, re-
tirements upon pensions, and special
rewards for cases OF exceptional
bravery and merit. During the In
dian mutiny in Hindoostan, which
dreadful outbreak occurred in 1857,
the recollection OF the horrors Of
which can never be effaced from the
human mind, the town OF Cawnpur,
defended by a small British garrison,
was beseiged by the Sepoy insurgents.
Relying upon the promise of immun-
ity and protection given by the in
famous Mana Sahib, native chief,
the garrison capitulated. Where
upon they were set upon. by over
whelming masses of the. Insurgents,
and despite most heroic resistance,
were massacred. together with a
large number Of hapless women and
children. Col. Havelock. who with
the 18th Highlanders OF the British
army, was marching to the relief of
Cawnpur, arrived too late. The
tiends had finished their diaboucal
work, and retreated. Whilst bury.
ing the dead. the Highlanders came
upon the body of beautiful, golden
haired English girl. who had been
murdered. ana her body mutIlated by
these unspeakable wretches. Filled
with grief and horror. and the Celtic
instinct for revenge, asserting itself
with over-powering force, the men OF
the regiment. gathered around the
body of the murdered lady, and
solemnly swore, that for every strand
OF her golden hair. a red demon
should die, that from that time on
they would raise the black nag
against the Sepoy rebels, take no
prisoners, give no quarter. Terrible
was the vengeance they wreaked.

In the German Empire. in Austria,
and in Italy. the authority Of the po-
lice Is very sweeping, often exercised
in the most severe and arbitrary
manner, with only responsibility to

In France under Louis w., and in
succeeding times, the most unjustIf-
able and despotic Sc was made of

through his minister. Fouche. avail

the most oppressive purposes. The
police system OF France today, how
ever, is very similar to that OF Great
Britain and the United States, Its
