OUR POLICE FORCE.

Recent developments in the Pine Bluff police department have given the general public only slight idea of the workings of that part of the local government. Mayor Toney has de- cIared in the past that he wants to give Pine Bluff the best police force possible. There is nothing too good for this really magnificent little city, the best police force in the country not excepted It would be an almost impossibility at this time to give Pine Bluff first class police service in view of the poor salaries paid patrol men and they are not sure of these, with no banks or individuals willing to purchase the scrip, endorsed only by an apparently empty city treasury. Pine Bluff is not Chicago or New York or Philadelphia or Boston in point of numbers or in point of opportunities for both good and evil in it's police government. It is scarcely big enough to be Tammanyized-the long suffer- ing people of this city would not tol crate that.
 Pine Bluff is too large. however. to be satisfied with anything else than a strong, fearless clean police depart ment. coping vigorously and without fear or favor with the pressing mu- nicipal problems, which will become moro pressing as Pine Bluff grows up to the stature of the other larger cities of the south.
 It would be splendid thing t Mayor Toney would emancipate this young metropolis from the domination of a partisan political police machine. Mayor Toney could do no bigger thing tuau tu AlNt Ilu1 iiuH d pOIttS iOlCc that )from chief to desk sergeant, knew that merit and manliness and unswerving devotion to the public good were the sole basis of tenuie c of position; that no allegiance %as owed save to the people and theW highest interests. If Pine Bluff had that kind of a police force, oflicet2d by men who are capable and efficient, it would have the best police force in the south.
 It remains for the city council 10 practice economy in other directions and build up the police deparement. The niggardly salaries now paid po- Hcemen, men of families and men
