Judge Brewster shook his head
obviously.
No, sir, we lawyers never rest.
We can't. No sooner is one case dis
posed of than another crops up to
claim our attention. The trouble with
this country is that we have too
much law. If were to be guilty of
an epigram l would say that the coun-
try has so much law that it is prac-
tically lawless"
SO you're preparing another case,
eh?' said Mr.. Jeffries, Interested.
What is it-a secret?"
"Oh. no." answered the lawyer,
the newspapers will be full OF it in
day or two. We are going to bring
suit against the city. It's really
test case that should interest every
citizen; protest against the high
handed actions of the police"
The banker elevated his eyebrows.
Indeed" he exclaimed. What
have the police been doing now?"
The lawyer looked at his client in
surprise
why, my dear sir, you must have
seen by the papers what's been going
on in our city of late. The papers
have been full of it. Police brutality,
illegal arrests. assaults in station
houses, star-chamber methods that
would disgrace the middle ages. A
state of affairs exists to-day in the
city of New York which is inconceiv-
able. Here we arc living in civil
lied country. every mans liberty is
guaranteed by the constitution, yet
citizens, as they walk our streets, are
in greater peril than the inhabitants
of terror-stricken Russia. Take po-
lice official of Capt. Clinton's type.
His only notion of the law is brute
force and the night stick. A bully by
nature, q man of the coarsest instincts
and enormous physical strength, he
loves to play the tyrant. In his pre-
cinct he poses as kind of czar and
fondly imagines he has the power to
administer the law ITSELF BY his
brow-beating tactics. intolerable un-
der Anglo-Saxon government, he is
turning our police force into a gang
of ruffians who have the city terror
stricken. In order to further his polit-
ical ambitions he stops at nothing.
He let's the guilty escape when influ-
once he can't resist is brought to
bear, but in order to keep up his rec
ord with the department he makes ar
rests without the slightest justifica-
ton. To secure convictions he manu-
factures, with the. aid of his detec-

fries. NO one can approve such
methods. OF course, in dealing with
the criminal population of a great
city, they cannot wear kid gloves, but
Capt. Clinton certainly goes too far.

Tax on Electric Signs.

The municipal government has found a
fresh source of revenue in the electric
light signs. decree has been issued
infiictng exemplary taxation on the
thirty-three classfications of electric
signs. The principle of difference in as
sessment is not the number of lights al
together but the amount of discomfort
they cause the eye. The winking terrors
and complicated daZZlers bruising and in
flaming the optic nerve must pay in pro-
portion to the annoyance they may cause
the public, while the soft and beautiful

Gliding what is TO be danced this season
Important decisions We're arrived at. The
professors were unanimously of the opin-
ion that the dance of the ballroom is
tending more and more toward simplicity,
and is now more rhythms stroll than a
dance. Formerly, they say. the dancers
of the drawing room We'd with those oil
the theater in ''gavottes" and sara
bandes" Afterward came the more diff
cult kind of contradance, but still steI
in the direction of simplicity. Then the
waltz, and, these later years, the Boston
and the double Boston. At the present
time the Argentine dances appear to be
most in favor, both with dancers and
teachers. AS NJ Leport. president of the
Academy of Dancing, says, these dances
are the most appropriate for the ball
room.
The three dances which are expected tc
be the most popular this winter are the
modern maZurka, Louis XIV waltz
minuet and the Argentine five-step.
