How About the System?
From the New York World.

Regardless of the ultimate fate of
Becker. what Is to be done about the
police department? Is it to drift along
from mayor to mayor. from commissioner
to commissioner. the perpetual prey of
politics and the system? The murder of
Rosenthal was not sporadic case of
crime within the department. The condi-
lions that resulted in this murder have
existed for many years. They have been
known to mayors to police commissioners
and to the public, but nothing has ever
been done to reorganize the department
and make 1t the servant rather than the
master OF the city of New York. 1t was
no secret that police lieutenants and cap
tains and inspectors collected private for
tunes from the criminal classes. 1t was
no secret that the underworld paid its
tribute to the police for protection, and
that this protection was sold. 1t was nc
secret that every form and grade of pro-
lection had a market price that was more
stable than the prices of securities on the
stock exchange. All this was known. The
murder Of Rosenthal revealed only the
fact that the system traficked in human

The Panic Of. 1893.

In one Of his speeches delivered in New
Jersey last night Mr.. Wilson gave a new
explanation OF the panic Of 1893. He alb
solved the Cleveland administration from
all blame. and put the responsibility on
the previous administration, and the de-
lay OF the Senate in passing the House
bill repeating the purchasing clause of the
Sherman act In effect, he declared that
the panic was on the way, and would
have arrived If Gen. Harrison had been
reelected. Can he make that good?
Undoubtedly there would have been sill
yer legislation. and probably some revi-
sion of the Mckinley tariff law. under a
second Harrison administration, but the
business world would not have been much
disturbed either by the prospect, or by
the work when taken in hand The re-
publican party was strongly for gold. and
thoroughly committed to protection.
Moreover, Gen. Harrison was in full ac-
cord with all but the spoilsmen of HIS
party He had matters In general we'll in
hand, and panic was not on the hori-
Zon Not even the crystal gaZers were
predicting one.
The trouble-the panic-grew out of the
success at the polls. not Of a political
party opposed to the republican party.
but of loosely constructed, heteroge-
neous combination representing all sorts
of notions and opinions. Free traders
and protectionists, free silver men and
gold men. spoilsmen and civil service re-
formers. had Joined hands under cam
lidate nominated and financed by large
eastern money influences led by w. c..
Whitney. and now stood responsible for
the affairs of the government
What would the combination do? What
could it do under such a leader? How
could it do the fair thing by silver as
the silver men had understood that prom
Use. without rejecting the advice of the
gold men? And how could it revise the
tariff on the proposition Of the unconsff-
nationality of protection without alien
atfng the large number Of democrats led
by Mr.. German who believed in protec-
ton quite as sincerely as Gen. Harrison
himself?
The business world-and for that mat
ter the political world-keen-scented for
danger. looked around. and saw the in
evitable. The combination in office could
not be held together. and the timid and
the cautious ran to cover Immediately
after the announcement Of polling day.
The present combination expected by
Mr.. Wilson to elect him President. In In
some particulars like that Of twenty
years ago. 1t faces both ways on the
tariff question. and several ways on the
trust question. What will 1t do with the
tariff? What can it do with the trusts?
Can MIR. Wilson succeed where Mr.
Cleveland failed? The expected triumph
at the polls will not be that of homo
geneous party, agreed on all vital uues-
tons and moving toward the redemption
of a national platform. but Of ANOTHER
loosely constructed combination pledged
to opposite things.

The South and the House,

The Debate.

We argued from the break Of day
Until the noontide sun grew warm;
We argued when, the skies were gay.
We argued 'mongst the threats of storm
The tariff was a favorite theme;
The referendum would come next;
And personalities extreme
Seemed to arise from any text.
How soon our pleasures we forget
AS time moves by with pictures new;
How soon the various things that fret
Existence here must vanish, too.
When various booms are quite forgot,
And stilled is the election shout.
We'll go our ways and wonder what
The argument was all about! Is:
