In the city of New Orleans, where a large rob- bery is never known, the chief of police and de- tectives are appointed from private life, and in other cities the most suc ul detectives and chiefs are men who have never worn a uniform, notably: Kelso and J in New York, Hickie in Chicago, H an in St. Louls, Jas.

Why cannot men be selected trom the citizens of Washington as well as in other cities, compelled to Etre good reliable bonds, and be subject to dis- missal for Inability, or forfeiture of bonds for dis- honesty? Our business men could then feel as- sured that should they be robbed the police would, in nine cases fn ten, recover the articles or money stolen, and in most cases convict the thief, Should policemen be appointed trom the ranks there are “guns” in all parts of the country who will flock to this city and plunder it with impunity, and what is more, escape with their booty.
