POLICE MATTERS. —_+—_—_ Why the Finest Force in the World Has No Disciplin:. the Central Office “Ganz.” Fifty-five cases of delinquent poltcemen were wied yesterday afternoon, at tie Central Ofice, before President Matseil, Among these complaints Was acharge against Captain Kullelea for using unofficerlike Janguage to a sergeant. The ser- geant’s complaint was not supported, and the case jell to the ground, All the remaining causes were for simpie breaches of discipline, anc they will be dealt with by the Board in the usual man- ner, The number of complaints of this kind, which keep on increasing every week, shows the want of discipline in the department and the looseness with which the men conduct them- selves. At the trial ol Sergeant Christie, who was rocently «dismissed for going to bed when he should have been on post, he told the Board that Bil the sergeants did the same thing. That was the literal truth—a tung seldom brought out in the court room at the Central Office. The police- men, who are supposed to keep guard over the lives anu property of the people, are sent out from the station houses at midnight. Two roundsmen and a serveint are appointed to visit them regu- Jarly Curing that tour of duty and see that they are patrolling. In many cases the sergeant, in- stead of going out to LOOK AFTER THE OFFICER, goes up stairs Lo bed, a3 Christie did, the moment the men are of bis hands im the street; the rounusmen make & tour or two and then rush back to the station house or home and follow the sergeants’ example. AS @ Datural result the men get in where they can and pass the night too as comfortably a3 the clreumstances will permit, Patrolling, uniess im odd Instances, is the last thimg they think of. ‘There are four inspectors whose duty it ought to be to Keep the department under careful surveil- jance, but the Commissioners have s0 cut up this service that itis almost useless. But few com- plaints are ever heard from the inspectors, aud that 1s through mismanagement of the Buard. Imspecior Dilks is kept at headquarters on what is called day duty; but any clerk in the department could go the same work as well us the inspector ior one third tue price. The same is the case with Inspector Thorne, If such an ofMicer is wanted at the nead of the street Cleaning Department a captain or a sergeant should be put there, The police service cannot afford to s these officers, and they ought not to be taken aw Two of (hese tow? inspectors snould be constantiy on auty, apd they shoul send in daily reports to the Board of ail they see. Yoey were certainly not appointed to be provided With sinecures, and the looseness and want of proper atiention in the force ace entirely due to Lue laxity of the superior officers, Li a day inspe tor 1s absolutely necessary, Speight ought be put into tne oft Active UNBLEML 2 were not promoted to lmportant grades to lounge about offices and meadie in otuer people’s bu-l- ness. As the Mayor very justly said che other day, the captains of police in this city are a set of small sovercizus and they rule their principaities with the absulute sway of despots, The reason of this is there 1S nO one to Jook alter them. Superin- tendent Walling knows what should be doue, but he is ei'her Wanting in tne frmaess to carry out hus ideas or he is hampered by some ol the Com- mussiouers. If that is the case the Superintend- ent should make It KBown to the public. He must pursue a straight, unfincuing course, dealing right and leit with every one the same, and if ve des this, though Board after Boaid may be swept away, the people wil insist upon his being retained, lor he wiil be to them a retiable source of provection. Commissioner Voortis has p Geciared he means to lave the rules of the de ment obeyed, and the Superintendent should be a atrovg ally of his. The old position of gambiing protector im the Board is dead. No member of the present Board can step into that piace and continue in office. rolman Dusendury bas not been permitted 10 sneak of ino a hotel, where he an lounge with his accustomed indoience.
