An Unexpected Letter.
Some of the letters I received on leav-
ing the department were from unex-
pected sources. Mr. E. l. Godkin. an edi-
tor who in international matters was not
a patriotic man, wrote protesting against
my taking the Assistant Secretaryship OF
the Navy. and adding: Il have a concern.
as the ouakers say, to put on record my
earnest belief that in New York you are
doing the greatest work of which any
American today is capable, and exhibit
ing to the young men of the country the
spectacle of a very important ONCE ad
ministered by a man of high character
in the most efficient way amid a thou
sand difficulties. As a lesson in politics
cannot think OF anything more instruc-
tive"
Progress.
About the same time had a letter
from Mr.. (afterward Ambassador
James Bryce. also expressing regret that
l was leaving the police department, but
naturally with much more appreciation Of
the work that was to be done in the
Navy Department. This letter I quote.
with his permission, because it conveys
a lesson to those who are inclined always
to think that the conditions Of the pres
ent time are very bad. It was written
July Z, 1897. Mr.. Bryce spoke of the pos
sibility Of coming TO America in a month
or so. and continued: Il hope 1 may
have a chance OF seeing you II I ever
get over, and Of drawing some comfort
from you as regards your political phe-
nomena, which. so far as can gather
from those of your countrymen have
lately seen, furnish some good oppor-
tunities for a persistent optimist like
myself 10 show that he is not to be light
ly discouraged. Don't suppose that
things are specially nice as a lady
would say, in Europe either. They are
not" Mr.. Bryce was a very friendly and
competent observer OF things American:
and there was this distinct note OF dis
couragement about our future in the in
innate letter he was thus sending. Yet
this was at the very time when the
United States was entering on a dozen
years during which our people accom-
pllshed more good. and came nearer real
izing the possibilities of a great free.
and conscientious democracy than during
any other dozen years in our history.

prevention OF the work OF social reform.

est Of those men, women, and children
on whose behalf we should be at liberty

The ToiIers.
Occasionally during the two years we
had TO put a stop to riotous violence.
and now and then on these occasions
some of the labor union leaders protested
against the actions OF the police. BY
this time was becoming a strong be-
Iieyer in labor unions, a strong believer
in the rights Of labor. For that very
reason I was all the more bound to see
that lawlessness and disorder were put
down, and that no rioter was permitted
to masquerade under the guise OF being
friend OF labor or a sympathizer with
labor. / was scrupulous TO see that the
labor men had fair play; that, for in
stance, they were allowed to picket Just
as far as under the law picketing could
be permitted, so that the strikers had
ample opportunity peacefully to persuade
other labor men not TO take their places.
But 1 made it clearly and definitely I'M
derstood that under no circumstances
would permit violence or fail to insist
upon the keeping of order. II there were
wrongs, would join with a full heart
IN striving to have them corrected. But
where there was violence all other ques-
tions had to drop until order was re-
stored. This is a democracy, and the
people have the power. II they choose
to exercise it, to make conditions as they
ought to be made, and TO do this strictly
within the law; and therefore the first
duty OF the true Democrat, Of the man
really loyal to the principles OF popular
is to see that law is enforced
and order upheld. II was a peculiar
qualification to me that so many OF the
labor leaders with whom l was thrown
in contact grew cordially to accept this
view. When I left the department sew
eral called upon me to say how sorry
they were that I was not to continue in
office. One. the secretary OF the Jour
neyman Bakers and Confectioners'
Union. Henry Weismann,
wrote me expressing his regret that l
was going, and his appreciation as a cit
izen OF what 1 had done as police COM
missioner; he added: II am particularly
grateful for your liberal attitude toward
organized labor, your cordial champion

Former President Declares that When They Go Wrong the
System Is to Blame-Alwsys Tried to Be Just
i,s In Dealings with Them.

Let me again say that when men tell
me that the police are irredeemsbly bad
remember scores and hundreds of cases
like this Of Bourke, like the case I have
already mentioned Of Raphael, like the
other cases I have given above 1t is
useless to tell me that these men are bad.
They are naturally first-rate men. There
are no better men anywhere than the
men of the New York police force; and
when they go had it is because the sys-
TEN is wrong, and because they are not
given the chance to do the good work
they can do and would rather do. I
never coddled these men. / punished
them severely whenever I thought their
conduct required it All I did was to try
to be just: to reward them when they
did well; in short, to act squarely by
them. believe that. as a whole, they
liked me. When, in 1872, l ran for Pres
ident on the Progressive ticket, I re-
Ceived a number of unsigned letters in
closing sums of money for the cam
paign. One of these inclosed twenty dol
lars. The writer, who did not give his
name, said that he was a policeman.
and that 1 once had him before me on
charges, and had fined him twenty dol
lars; that, as a matter of fact, he had
not committed the offense for which 1
fined him. but that the evidence was
such that he did not wonder that had
been misled. and never blamed me for
il, because l had acted squarely and had
given honest and decent men a chance
in the police department, and that now
he inclosed a twenty-doIlar bill, the
amount of the fine inflicted on him so
many years before. have always
wished I knew who the man was.
Discipline.
The disciplinary courts were very in
teresting. But it was extraordinarily diff
fcult to get at the facts in the more
complicated Cases-as must always be
true under similar circumstances; for
ordinarily it is necessary to back up the
superior officer who makes the charge,
and yet II is always possible that the
superior is consciously or unconsciously
biased against his subordinate.
In the courts the charges were some
times brought by police officers and
sometimes by private citizens. In the
latter case we would get queer insights
into twilight phases of New York life
1t was necessary 10 be always on our
guard. Often an accusation would be
brought against the policeman because
he had been guilty OF misconduct. Much
more often the accusation merely meant
that the officer had incurred animosity
by doing his duty. I remember one
amusing case where the officer was
wholly 10 blame, but had acted in entire
good faith
