all night several times lately and find
ing the policemen on their beats. Com
missioner Shinn stated that he. with two
other commissioners, also visited the po-
lice at night and found them at work.
The chief was instructed to have the
men wear numbers on their caps to cor
respond with the numbers Of their badges
as far as possible.
Commissioner Shinn wanted to have II
done at once. Mayor Fisher. however.
told him II would have to go to city

Mr.. McAdoo announces the proposal

bonds to bolster the cotton crop is not
practicable, and generally objects to
all the features of the Henry pan. He
calls attention to the fact that those
who deal in tobacco. naval stores cop
per, silver and other commodities have
sought government aid.
IF we disregard every suffering in
tcrest except cotton" he said, "and
make it The sole beneficiary of govern
mental favor, what becomes of the
democratic principle, of equal rights
for all, special privileges to none?'
IF we enter upon the course you
suggest we must help every distressed
industry impartially. To do that wonld
neccssitate the issue Of many moro
than $500, 900. 600 In bonds and green
backs. and dangerously involve the

of every sound principle of finance and

end"
