have appropriated the Republican coll

uncomfortable for the Roosevelt and

were not disclosed TO the public, as 1t
had been expected they would be as n

not be made known until Ulster Day.
Ii is. however, quite possible TO fore
cast the publication with sufficient ac-
curacy. At each Of the meetings which
have been held Of the populace OF
Ulster n resolution has been adopted in
these words: 1--WE hereby reaffirm the
"resolve OF the great Ulster Convention
"of 1S92-'We will not have Home
Rule We may therefore assume
that the Forthcoming covenant will
closely resemble in spirit and purport,

ONE OF THE REFORMS"

The city is now able to appraise one
of the Mayors police reforms tile
one which. as he declares, has stopped
the payment by the police Of graft for
appointments 10 the force or promo
tions within ii. 1t has resulted III the
appointment of many officers so scan
dalOusly unfit that one Police Conn
missioner resigned from Office rather
than consent 10 their appointment
Mr. Cropsey's resignation as an al
tentative to making policemen of per-
iurers and men with criminal rec
ords is the one honorable incident in
this reform" The discredit OF these
unfit appointments Is 50 great that no
one will take the responsibility for
what was done, the Mayor showing it
upon Mr.. Waldo, Mr.. Waldo passing IT
on TO Mr.. Creelman and Mr.. Creelman
thrusting It back TO Mr.. Waldo.
And has the reform" really put an
end to the paying Of sums for influence
IN behalf Of those who seek places on
the police force or who are In line for
promotion! Most of the graft that has
been paid for this purpose has been the
result Of the credulity of those desiring
promotions or appointments. Men pre-
tend 10 lie able to secure the favor OF
the appointing power for money, and
they have no difficulty in persuadins
candidates for appointment or promo
tion to part with large sums in ex-
change for their alleged influence. But If
q place on the eligible list is equivalent
to an appointment the opportunity Of
the fake" go-between is only removed
one stage further back. Candidates
will be likely 10 pay men who pretend
to sell the favor Of physical or mental
examiners. Official dishonesty Is not
necessary to keep this mean graft
going. So it may be doubted If the
Mayors reform has had any real effect
upon this confidence game, while it has
opened the way 10 the appointment OF
totally unfit men 10 the force.
