The Home Secretary has so meddle and muddled that two Chiefs of tho Police 11311.11 successively resigned rather than submit to 105 dictation, and the Metropolitan Police have been driven to revolt. In the first instance difficulty, it was not unreasonable to suppose thal't 'Mr. MATTHEWS might be in the right; but Oa theory is exploded in view of the inevitable coneliv sion that if he is still right everybody else is Wrotig. What the police want is redress of their ,grievances' but Mr. MATTRAWS treats their petitions as much waste paper. They think they are entitle to better pay and higher scale of pensions than thci Home Secretary provides in the Police Bill; as Mr. MONRO, as Chief of the Police, took t'a same view, he resigned rather than be party t° _ niggardly and unwise policy. It may bo that tbl. men have pitched their demands too high; but. what : galls them in the matter is that the How TAay—the accident of a particular Administration i —treats them as if any opinion they might have ° the subject was not entitled to a moment's sideration.
