GASOLINE EXPLOSION
IN HUNGARIAN TENEMENT.

Cincinnati, June 17.-An explo-
sion of gasoline today set fire to a
five-story river front tenement crowd
ed with Hungarians and only the gall
liant work of firemen prevented
great loss of life. The fire spread
rapidly. People in the building were
crazed with fear. A mother threw
her baby from the third-story win
dow to the street. II was caught by
a drayman. Then she jumped and
landed In group of policemen,
hurt. Men rushed to the lad
ders raised by the firemen and had TO
be dubbed inscnsible to keep from
throwing their fescuers to the street.
Fifteen were overcome by smoke and
many ran into the street in their
night clothes.

NEED OF REFORM IN POLICE
DEPARTMENTS.

After trying without success the
plan of leaving the enforcement of
the humane regulations to the regu-
lar patrolmen, Chief of Police Collins
acceded to the demands for a humane
officer. and detailed a patrolman to
devote his time exclusively to that de-
partment. .fsayfUIIK
1t is an unfortunate fact that the
American police do not anywhere.
that we know Of, appreciate their full
duty in this respect. There Is con-
siderable human nature in their lax
ity, too. The policeman will careful
ly maintain order on his beat, and
arrest all offenders OF the criminal
law; but he is not looking for trouble,
and that is what he would get II he
enforced all the police regulations. So
such matters as stray dogs. crippled
animals, dumping OF. ashes into pub
lie highways, obviously improper san
itation, and a multitude Of other Of
lenses against good order, decency.
health and comfort IN a city are al
lowed to go unnotieed until complaint
Is made. AS natural outgrowth of
this attitude Of indifference, the av-
erage policeman does not attempt
the suppression OF disorderly resorts
ana gambling on his beat, satisfying
himself With keeping tab on such
violations, so that he can "pinch"
the place handily when complaint is
made. ~1rWTVKFVK
This is not a criticism of the Pa
dueah police department; and there
is reason in the larger cities why the
patrolman should not bother himself
about these smaller offenses; pull
and influence might be exertec
against the too active policeman.
However. we think that the pa
trolman should be made responsible,
for conditions on his beat. He shoult
know the ordinances and sanitary, a
well as police. regulations. and 4
should be his duty TO inspect prem
ises. But good results can come from
such reform only by convincing tn,
patrolman that he will be backed nj
both by the department and the cour

TIMELY TOPICS.
sleeping Car Screens.

Sleeping Car Screens.
In q short time every sleeping car
operated over the Illinois Central sys-
tenn will be provided with screens
that will fill the entire window. These
will take the place of the narrow wire
that was formerly used for air vents.
The new screen is of metal frame and
fits i'm between the two glass sashes.
The mesh used is fine enough to catch
every particle of dust, in fact, II is
so nicely adjusted in this way that
the defiectors heretofore used TO
catch cinders are entirely dispensed
with, which insures more air as the
defiectors in stopping cinders and dust
also stopped air. Another feature Of
the improvement is that the screen,
being the full size OF the window.
allows an unobstructed view. With
1.-THE old style narrow screen the sash
was raised just high enough to be in
convenient to look under or over IL,
making IL practically out OF the ques-
ton for a passenger to see out of the
window with comfort.

THIS RULE
OBNOXIOUS


ccived his idea of discriminating against
workingmen, it received but little at
tention until it was formulated in this
letter to the commissioner, soon after
he became President. He, however,
speaks of similar letter issued by
President Cleveland in 1856. The com
mission also has said, president Cleve-
land in 1886 issued an order warning
office holders against active participa
ton in political movements" I'm
doubtedly this is a purely inadvertent
mistake on the part of the commission,
but we are going to show them where
they are wrong, so that they will not
make that mistake any more.
What President Cleveland did say was
this: individual interest and activity
in political affairs are by no means con
demned' Does that sound like warn
ing against active participation in po-
litcal movements?"
This whole letter of Mr.. Cleveand's
is so fair and reasonable it is such a
clear exposition of the restrictions that
good citizenship demands, without the
sacrifice of any civic rights; it 50 ac-
curately represents our own view of the
proper scope of civil service regulations,
that we commend to the attention of all
GOOD citizens both i'm and ont of the
service:
