"An Ynorease of Three Hundred Patrol- ‘men Absolutely Needed. Ancrease the Saloon Licenses So as to Lae Pay the Expense. Tne Trrsuxe bas again and again called the attention of the city authorities to the necessity for a liberal increase of the police force. It has shown repeatedly that the present force, which is smaller than the one employed elznt years ago, ia 4 totally Inadequate to mect the needs of the time f “and of the situation; that it is fmpossible for it ; to cover the xrountt, to cope with te largeiy~ increased amount of crime due to the swelling ‘tide of population: and that a great number of the outrages against fife, limb, and property would be stopped if there wero a larger police Zoree, the present one, though ably ollicered and >; Well managed, bemg unable, from the smallness of ts numbers, to cover the ground. Any person who {s familiar with the amount of duty which a Chicago patrolman has to per- form, any one who knows that his beat extends » from six to seven miles of streets, must under- Stand that an increase in the force is absolutely necessury. This fact is brousxbt out strikingty by acomparigon of the forve in thfs city with that inlarge Eastern places. These statistics . SNOW that,as regards the number of men to Population and to urea, this city stands at the footof thelist, oo. - é - It is the opinion of Tar Trimoxe that tho force, now about 500 men, should be increused to about 800. It isa fayorit idea withthe Mayor, + due perhaps to his Touduess for horse-back ex- ercise, and io'the much that he hus learned and . been by riding dround the streets, that there should be 2 ‘mounted police force of about “twenty-five men, THE SUGGESTION IS A GOOD ONE, . Dut bis belief that they will accomplish the ob- Ject sourbt to be obtained by adding 200 or 300 ordinary patrolmen to’the list is a mistaken one. These mounted policemen have their great use. Scuttered around fn the outskirtsof the city, they arcable tocover wuch ground in.a comparatively ehort time. They are able to report sidewalks Gut of condidon. lamps not lighted, etc, fur better than a footmun can, but they are not Aitted’ for making arrests, and cost tive as - Touch as the ordinary patroimen. The keep of /@ horse costs as much as the keep of a man, and You cannot get as much Work outof the quad- Fuped as you can out of the biped. They ure good for obtain information and for report * Sng news quickly, but ror little else... The cav- --alry of our army is, after all, its least -impor- tant part. Itis the infantry that docs the work. » Zwo bundred and fifty fooumen, with clubs and - Tevolvers, will do more than ten’ Umes as much = RS your mounted skirmishers. But people, ;piter- readins tho ‘statements made by *the Mayor and the Cyntroller regarding the financial condition of the city, aud its 1, Anabitity to raise any more money: by direct tax- ..¢ ution, ask, where sbull the means be secured ror s» Dying thése udditional men. ‘The auswer is 2 “ Very simple one. From the saluons. There are AL-present over 3,500 saloons in the city, each of which puys the ridiculously small license-fee of only $52, But it is to these sume saloons, which collect from the people nearly $12,00,00) a year, that the. necessity for the muintenance’ of & ““spolice force arises in grent part. An over< Wwheltmngly furze ‘proportion of the crimes against the person and property: aro due to the saloons. There it is that the bummers and va- grants, the thieves and the murdefers are made. Men who would otherwise be decent, respecta= ble, orderly members of society, earning ther “diving with the. sweat of their brow, get into tho habit of going to tnese places, abandon labor, and, unable to pick upa_ living in any uthor way, resort. to erie torit. Yet, yotwithstanding’ this enormous burden, which is thrown upon tho city yearly. by the existence Of these saloous as they are at preseat mannyed, Xhey are called on to contribute only $175,000 10 ‘the city treasury.” Complaint has ‘been inade Uhat a heavy license tax would not work. ‘The experiment hus been tried, bowover, in, Ne- brasku. There, there is a license tec or $1,000 1m cities and 500 in the country. THE LAW 1S WORKING To PERFECTION..

The fact thatthe elty has greatly increased in population since then, of course is known to all, and if the neces- sity of an inerease to the force then existed (which fact was generally admitted), an increase is more urgently preded now. ‘The petition was then sigued. by the very best citizens and heaviest taxpayers. At the time when this etition was presented tho city was hard up,and the matter bud to be passed. ‘The City Council has now before it facts show- ing the imperative need of an increase of the police force. ‘The murders, the burgiurics, the bighway robberies which are of’ dally occur- rence ought to teach them that. There is no other way in which the money can be raised than by taking it from the saloons, which ure 60 instrumental In causing these erimes. Will they meet the situanon fairly and increase the Heense-tax? SPORTING. Fleld Trials of Hunting Dogs at Grand Junction, Fenn, Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. Grayp Juscrios, Tenn., Dec. 10—This was the most unsatisfactory duy of tho trials as 10 weather yet. With allit was beautifully fair, but quails don’t like a high, cold wind, and seem to huddle away in some sunny nook where tho Wind does not touch them and there enjoy the warmth without moving at all. For this: reason birds were very bard to find, and the mistakes of the dogs very numerous, false pointed on. Places where birds’ had been and then ilushed them continently when they came across them. This was especially the case with the first brace down in the Chuinpion Stake ~Peep-o'-Day and Nelly. They were put down Where birds were known to be close at bund, yet failed to locate them, though Peep would probv- ably bave done so, asshe wassteadily ronding on their line when the handlers walking {n from one side flusbed them. ‘Nelly, however, bad run right by within ten feet of them. Atter this Nelly got tour flushes, one of a covey and three single birds, betore she found anything. Peep, getting two points, then flusted a covey, and, moving on, Hushed a single bird, and, as. Nelly retused to back on a tizure up Peep wou a very unmeri- torious trial and tho championship of "1881. She isowned by D. Bryson, of Memphis, and is by L. Hi, Suiith’s Strathroy Ontario, by Gladstone of Chip, was broken by C. 18. Whiteford, bundled by bim in the Derby fast year, aud given third money. She wants experience and steidiuess to muke a very good bitch, as she is fast, and bas great stunchnessand agood nose. Nelly’s defeat was mainly owing to her failure to back, and had Peep met ber yesterday and biundered this falling might not have’ saved her from defeat, as Nelly was then sim- ply faultiess everywhere else. Dan and Max- well then were pit down, according «to rule. to ty for the chance of beating Nelly for second Hace. It was a long, desultory trial, and Dou Tose by the same. cause as Neliy—bad a failure to back, though £ thought be had enouch in hand to win Without backing. ‘This shortened things considerably, as Maxweil drew out, leaving.Nel- ly to lke first place,ana Breckenridge and Lad, as me best’ beaten by — Nelly, took third money and honors be- tween _ them. in” the =Brace". Stake Count Novie and Nelly, entered by Sanborn, Were put down. first for three-quarters of an hour, and they showed fine and exaet quarter- ing, Nelly betng very. marked iu her truencss. Jao speed Noble was slightly superior and in style equally. good, but the false pointing and dusbing wis as ageravated-as with Nelly and p, though ‘Noble's backing was good, and Nelly once backing Nobie fatrly, though once after she wns stopped, stepped slyly by Sanborn, and once refused to back at all. This lost San- born the stake. Grousedale end Dashing Mon- areb, handled: by Faltman, were next down, and were more an evenly-matehed team wan Count and Nelly as faras speed was con- cerned. Monarch bus ‘too much fumber and Inbors in his gait, whilst Grousedale is a tre- meudous-stited doz, almost as fast as Bose,-tho red Irish dog. Tey quartered unevenly, and did a lot of false pointing and grand backing he- tore Grouse got a covey of birds in beautiful style, and then Monarch a.single bird and two flushes down wind, and Grouse anoth- er single bird. But’ their previous potter- ine and poor. quartering heat them. King Dash and Belton Third, handled by Short, moved so evenly in quartering, speed, ana ninge that they only’ bad to even up with the others fn other work to beat them, and this they did, Sanborn winutng second and 'Fallman sav- ing his.entrance money. To the judges reat ereditis due. They sacriticed their patience, time, and money and paid their own expenses 1 believe without. a murmur, and filled their un- enviable positions without any outspoken comm. plaint from any one—a strong evidence of their impartial judyments.and reliable estimation of the dogs. The National American Kennel Club have decided to hold a ficid trial on prairie chickens for Western and prairie ranging aogs some time in tho early fall in Nebraska or Min- nesota, and also to hold their trials hero neat year.
