The practice of gambling publicly Is ns abhorrent to the for- cign-born a3 to the natlye cltlzeus. ‘Tho fso- thermal ltne for Chicago along which nearly all the linmigration (travels’ doesn't strike any gambling territory, Mr. ITarrison must have been thinking of Loulsville or New Orleans when ho anuonnced that ho had authorized foyrteen publle gambling-touses A the City of Chicago. g point nbout the gambling-houses s «4his:; The more they are watched, pulted, “nnd policed the better It will be for tho pub- e, ‘Their business should be mede extra- : hazardous and unprofitable. The more they arg fined, tho less anxlous nre they to con- tinue busineys, Moreover, the public should be made to understand that It Is dangerous to vislt o ghmbling-room; that evéry person who does so ruvs tho risk of arrest and dls- graca; that it Is difleutt to get'in and often 1ore difticult to ot out, except under the wing of a pollee-officer. What it Mayer Hurrison mean by saying that he had broken open tho doors and kept them open, execept that he had made them easy of access to the young, tho foolish, the Jgnoraut, and the vicous? What is thoobject of having the doors open with theconsent of the potice oxcept to advertlso to all eowers that thoy will not bo Interfered with? ‘The knowledge thed this Is the stxed policy of Mayor Harrison has added innensely to the patronage of the gambling- houses; ‘They have ten patrons where for- merly thoy had one, A constuut strenm of visitors coming and going may be seen any it ut thelr entrances. To nll intents and purposes they are publle gambling-louses, established and Heonsed without authority of law by the Mayor of Chleago. As has been truly observed, the Mayor has intro- +dueed *the Southern Iden” of gambling into this great Northern community, .

They have been elosed out thue and again by previous Administeations, and might be ngnin, But Mr. Iarrlson Is consclous that If ho per- seeutod thom he would be interfering with tho most faithful politleal altles o has, THE OHICAGD POLIOE BODARD PROJEOT, Senator George White, of Cook, hns intro- dueed into the Stato Senata a billto substituto n Bhard of Police mnl Fire Commlssloners, 1o he appolnted by the Governor, tn placo of the present munteipal polico and fire system in Chiengo, ‘I'he moraing Democratic organ has Jumped at the conelugion thatthls propo- sition is a partisan schemo to nssure the pas tronage of these two Departments to. tho Republican party, ns tho Governor of Hfinols I3 ulmost sure to be n Republjean for the twenty years, while the Mayor.of the cily may aceasionally be o Democrat, This theory of the proposition has been nssumed without any wartant whatever, There 1s o speeifte purpose behind the bill which Senne tor Whila has propose 1t I3 designed to resort, If possible, to the expedient of a sepa- rate Board of Five antd Pollce hir this ety n case Non-enforcement Harrlson be retlected Mayor. 'The reasons for such a provedure are obvions. The Police Department (under Nou-enforcement Ilarrison) has tolerated the growth of the most vicious Institutions of clty life, and Non-enforcement Larrison himself has proclalmed that he does not Intend to enforce tho Iaws directed against the bincklegs and pimps who gathor nbout them thugs and thieves, ‘I'he experienco of the past two years nnd Non-enforecment Harrison's avowal that le will porsist In tho samo polley If redlected nre suflicient provo- catlon for seeking some desperato remedy agajust the epldemie of vies which flourishes under the protection of the present City Uov- ernment. J Tt is not to ba denled that the creation of o State Board for the government of the Polico and ¥ire Dopartutents In the city is objection- able from many polnts of view. It has been trled and foumd incflicient. ‘The appolnting power Tn such cnso fs too far removed from the commmnity eoncerned, ‘The independence of o State Board in a City Government of the Mayor and the officers elected by tho people relapses Into Irresponsibility, A claghing ot Interests frequently follows, and tho system usually prevents o prompt cor- rection of abuses, that arise. While all this Is true In o genoral way, It Is equally true that, in the event of Non-en- forcement Ifarrlson’s vedlection, theve witl be & certainty that no improvement in the administration of polies affalrs and the en- forcement of the laws cnn be expected dur- ing his term, and the substitution of tho Board system will then be contemplated ns n change which eannot malke matters worse, but may lead to some efliclency. It i3 possi- ble that an effort will be made to Hmit the operation of the Iaw to two years, or theterm during which Harrison will serve If he shall again hechosen Mayor. 1L Is-certaln that its passage will be urged If Harrison suceeed, Lut will be dropped I he fall, In his present efMort to sceure redlection, It may be that the Chieago pollce foree, ng now orgunized, Is competent to enforce the Inws, but it i3 certaln that such an enforee- ment cannot be expected so long ns 1t I8 gen- erally understood by the police, bogh oflicers and wen, that tho Mayor wants the gambling- dens and the houses of prostitution let alone. Dut It Is not only In n con- tinuous . negleet of duty, but also In an oxcess of aetivity at certain times, that the police areused.axninst the Interests of the city. At tho election of st fall Iar- rison was not meroly Mayor of the clty, but neted as the Chalrman of the Democratie Campalgn Committee, and In the lattor ca- paelty he employed the regular poliectien and swore In severnl hundred “speeial” lonfers ns Demoeratle strikors. e ls mun- nging Nis own campalgn this spring, and thora 1s renson to suspeet that tho police witl ngnin bo used as party henchmen,—though it wilt bo nt thelr pert! this time, for another Mayor may cama in to puunish tha men who shall thus violats thelr onths, ‘Cho function of the police Is merely to keep order at elees tions.

Why should there ho nuy rise In tho prico of stocks atthlsthue ?

Substantinlly, the debt represents the cost of the property of most reads, and the stock really reprosents water, Why should the capltal stock of a corporation thus situated finuncially bosold for 100 or 125, and why should the prico of sueh stocks ut any thne, under any kind of oxeitomont, bo yun up to 100 or 10Y ‘The angwormay be given that the affairs of the Company are i such houds and aro managed by such persons that it 13 possible for them by niorely I3sulng an order fram the oftice In New York to so advaneo tho rafes of transportation that the dividends and ostra dividends muy be Inereased to whatever sum tho Direetory may require, and that it is tho prospeetive dividends that give vulue to stock, and not the actual value of the prope orty which that stock ropresents.
