To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-


AS citizen feel it my duty to protest, in your
paper, against the recent rule Of the Police Com
missloners compelling the members OF the force to
wear their uniforms when OF duty. This is simply
tyrannical. 1t IS an outrage on the personal lib
erty OF policeman, which Is as dear to him as to
the most exalted private citizen, and assuredly 1t
can have none other than a demOrafizing effect
on the morale of the department generally The
men feel outraged by it; their dignity as men is
hurt; their manhood rebels against it. They can
not take their wives and chillren to churcn with
out being the subject OF insulting remarks more so
to the theatre for a similar reason; nor can they
well enjoy social afternoon with q friend. With
regard to what the Commissioners think, that this
regulation would benefit the public and check the
commission OF crime, 1t Is a positive TACT that the
most experienced captains on the force think very
much otherwise. Any one Of ordinary sense can
perceive that the rule can work no good, but the
contrary. Observe what this rule sometimes sub
jects citizens to as We'll as policemen. The other
day two officers brothers, IL being their day Off
duty called 10 see personal friend IN the lower
portion OF the city. OF course they had TO comply
with the recent rule to go in Uniform. They had
sooner entered the house tnan crowd OF men,
this respectable citizens house, thinking that
some was going 10 oc arrested. With regard
to President Matse's view of the subject, saying
that by Keeping the men IN uniform their days OF
1t would give one thousand more men TO the city,
as cItlZen OF New York | think differently. 1t
takes thousand more men away from
the protection OF lie and property. Be-
cause II the men were allowed to wear
their citizen clothes when OF duty officers
would be in every portion OF the city, TO the sur
prise OF the various gangs OF thieves who frequent
the business portion of our city. But as things
stand at present no policeman on duty is going to
stand any length OF time IN any portion or the city
III full Uniform, whereas If they were allowed 70
wear their citizen clothes they would hang around
the business portion OF city where the thieves
do most frequently operate. With regard to what
], as a citizen, know about the police orce, can
say that the finest arrests MADE have been made
by policemen their days OH. not since the wearing
or the uniforms was adopted. A CITIZEN.

Since the 2lst OF September, the Gay on which
the new regulation ordering policemen 10 wear
UNIFORM when OF duty was promulgated, the
police of the city have been sadly demoralized.
The public have not yet been informed OF the iull
meaning OF the order. which is said 10 have been
issued at the instance OF ex-Superintendent Mat
SELL Every one OF the $500 men who are en-
poyed on the police, including captains, sergeants
and patrolmen, is compelled to put on the uniform,
which includes hat, baton and belt, whether he Is
on duty or not The men are not allowed
to dvest themselves Of any part OF the
uniform under any circumstance upon pain
OF losing three days. pay. Thus " will
be seen that the rule works great hardship
to the men. Those who are single cannot go to
any place Of amusement with their lady friends,
for the inference that would be drawn would be
that this lady was under his protection as an
Ofiicer and not as beau, When those VINO are
married 60 to church they look as though they
were arrestng their wives, and when they attend
a funeral 1t looks as though they were accom-
panylng the cortege TO prevent row at the grave.
One man who has been on the police for years at one
OF the up town stations, was discharged last week
Tor disobeyng the order. 1t appears that he went
TO the wedding of his oldest daughter without his
uniform, which fact was communicated to the
Police Commissioners, and nat Oh dismissal was
the result.


A HERALD reporter interviewed all the police
captains IN the city recently, and they are unit
against the new regulation. They are not al
lowed the discretion OF detailing man IN citizens
clothes to make an arrest. In case OF murder a
policeman may know where to hnd the murderer,
but II is next 10 Impossible TO arrest man when
the insignia OF ofllce is displayed. The records
show tnat more actual service III arresing thieves
and pickpockets was done by men OIL duty than
by those in uniform. Now the men when on duty
stay In their respective houses and wear the uni
form according to order, only appearing wnen
they are on duty.


This order was issued before under superinten-
dent kelso, but, after trial OF one week, 1t was
revoked, as II tended 10 destroy the nofate OF the
men.

Young Moore, son of Henderson
Moore, living in the Sd civil district of
this county, lost his life under the fol-
lowing circumstances


Together with one or two other lads,
young Moore was engaged in cutting
timber in the woods. In telling large
tree one of its branches caught in an
adjoining tree, and thus suspended the
trunk short distance from the earth.
At the same time number of flying
squirrels made their appearance on
the tree, which he was endeavoring to
kill or capture, when the confined
limb suddenly became detached, which
the unfortunate youth, in his eager
ness to secure the squirrels, failed to
observe, and was thus caught under
the huge trunk and literally crushed
to death. The tree fell across his back
and pinioned him to the earth, where
he lay until sufficient force could be
obtained to remove the ponderous
weight from him, But 1t was too late.
The poor fellows bones were crushed
and his body so mangled, that he new
er more spoke, and lived but two OF
three hours afterwards.-EdSt Tennes-

ADIRONDACK MURRAY's LIBERAL IDRAs.-
The Rev. Mr.. Murray's first discourse in Park
street church after his return from his vacation
is likely to make something Of stir among the
more conservative Of the orthodox people to
whom he ministers. 1t was a sort of declaration
of the church, and a protest against some of
the restrictions upon free thought which have
been deemed essential. 1t shows that even in
the bosom of the church the workings of the
spirit of progress are feit and that old ideas are
undergoing mOdifc6tiOn.-Rnston GLnhs
