We hope II Is true! A dispatch from

of the Republican disaffcctlon in the

more disappointing in the character

1t has piddled with this measure Per-
sonal ill-will has been shown to the

The people OF the United States have
taken the measure of La Toilette, and

this reciprocity matter has confirmed

AN oFF1oEHoLpErps PARADISE.

Warwick. Rhode Island, a heretofore
insignificant village, now leaps into
tho limelight with unique distinction
It Is q town which pays three men to
boss two. In the closing hours of the
Rhode Island Legislature bill was
passed directing the Governor to- name
three police commissioners for War
wick. notwithstanding the fact that
the place has only two policemen on
Its force, The explanation given for
this anomalous condition of affairs Is
that the Town Council was in con :
slant fight over the grant of liquor
licenses. 1t did not, and would not.
give its attention to tho maintenance
of law and order, and so the people
felt that 1t would be cheaper to pay
three men to boss the two cops" and
make them take care OF the liquor sit
uation
Such an arbitrary proceeding as put
ting police commissioners over the
police" would be regarded as uncon-
to all law and order in some OF the
villages in the South we know of. In
a sittIe college town there was once
a town marshal who was great friend
of the students. About in tile morn
ing n band of jewellers decided that
they wanted something to eat. They
stood outside the window Of the pro-
prietor> of the nearest grocery and
turned lose pandemoniurl. No answer
was to be had from MILFORD, the propri- :
etor. The town marshal came on the
scene and to the rescue. He climbed
a ladder TO the proprietor's window
and persuaded him to open the store.
In another village an arrival on. the
midnight train wished to see the night
policeman, who was his cousin. This
policeman was the sole custodian, of the
peace and law and order of the village
in the night-time;-.b but he, was not to
he found. The next morning he ad-
mitted cheerfully-he was a devoted
hunter-that he had been possum hunt
ing all night some distance from the
village.
If there were some more WarwicKs
in the Old Dominion. some of the ONCE
loving and ofticeholdins gentry would
be delighted. For rotten officehold-
