This city is becoming metropolitan in size and character, and ita police force should be correspondingly Imoroved. At present tho force Is made up of all eorts of materlal-—small men, blg men, lazy men, active men, and.men that are of no use whatever, There I8 no uniformity in size, character or abllity. All this is owing to the perniclons method of mak ing appolntments to the poliea feree a matter of politios. So long as political affairs are allowed to enter into the po- Ilce force ao long will the force be com- posed to a large extent of political favorites who ate in no way fitted to fill the position, The very first thing to do in reorganizing the force Is to abollsh polities from any consideration whatever in making ap- pointments. The force should be placed on & regular army footing with regard to dicipline, pbysleal rcquirements, and promotlon, Every member now on duty snd every applicant should be examined as to physlcal qualifications. No man over fifty years of sge should be allowed on the fotce. All applicants should be be- tween the ages of 21 and 35. The standard helght and weight should be not lets than five feet and ten Inches and 150 pounds, Every member or applicant should be examined as to his eye sight, as perfect vislon is very important to a poltcem No man who cannot raad and write is fit to be a policeman, and this should be an essentlal require- ment. Applicants poesessing all theso qualifications should ke put cn duty on probation for a certain perlod, after which thelr names should be sent into the council and confirmed, and after having once been thus made policamen they should not be removed wlithout cause. After the organization of the force upon such a basls as we have ontlined, rules should be adopted for discipline, promo- tlon and gradation of pay. A record of deportment should be kept and men whose deportment is good should kave the first chances of promotlonand in- create of pay. The salaries should be graded for at lcast three years, being slightly increased each year. This would ‘Virginia under the vagrant law of the state, which permits the auction sale of vagrant labor to the highest bidder, re- minds one of very much of slavery days. ‘While the law applles to white vagrants as well as to colored, the chances are that the authorities take speclal pains to prove vagrancy against negroes, and let the white vagrants go. whose death is an- nounced by cable, was always an earnest friend ¢f the laboring clase.

It was Victor Hugo whom Parnell moat eagerly sought for advice and com- fort at the time of his visit to Paris in 1882, 3 Vicror Huco, an office seeker from Wis- nor, fwho is in Washington pushing his claims for the Valentine land office, is oredited with the statement that Dr. Miller has taken a positlion of neutrality In regard to the distributlon of cflizes, and that the ‘‘mantle of the boss-ship of the Nebraska democracy has seemingly fallen upon Mayor Boyd of Omaha.” We 1magine however that while Mayor Boyd may have the mantle, it is blg enough to covar Dr. Millerals), and that,;like the Stamese twine, what one does the other knows and endors Tue olty councll at its last meeting adopted a resolution locatlng fire com- pany No. 3 on Jeffsrson Square and di- rocting the chlef engineer to have tempo- rara buildings located thereon. This is a mietake, as the location is not central enough, It brings No. 3 too nesr No. 1, and leaves the south and routhwest parts of the clty too much unprotected as the run from Jefferson Square will be alto- gether too long. No. 3 should be located nearer Farnam street.

We have published everything that we have received In the press dlspatchee, which aro supposed to give the news in con- densed shape. Such papers as we have recolved from Denver have regarded the strike as lll-advlsed ani premature. As totho real merits of the case we know nothiog at this distance, and do not wish to express an opinion where we are not familiar with the detall Tuere are elght thousand applications In the state depsrtment for the three hundred consular places, The great de- mand for these positions Is explained by the faot that a post In the United States consular ser- vice In any of the esstern countrles car- ries with it very great benefits to the holders, In Tarkey and Egypt this is espoclally true, and men have been known to be willing to pay good round sums for appcintments, In spite of the fact that the fees attached are nsignificant. The e jrity of the places are so small that it is natura'ly out of the questlon to send a wan from the United States, and the congul general s therefore euthorized to appoint such sgents as are needed, On one occeslon, it is statad, that a consal In Turkey made £50,000 out of the ap pointment of coneu'ar sgenis, who per haps made less than $5 In fees each, prove an Inducement to the men to make a good record. Such a plan as we have suggested would prevent any peneioners, strikers, invallds, chronic bummers and THE DAILY BEE- that he should be compensafed by the vatious governments, to that bis **Inven- tion ” could be froe to all. It was generally suppored that the catate of Wendell Phillips was worth sev- oral hundrad thousand dollars, The an- nouncement, therefore, that his exccutors have found it to be worth only about £8,000 causes conslderable surprise. The shringage Is explained by the fact that his supposed fortune contisted mainly in wild eat stocks, the face valae of which repre- sented neatly a million dollars, Hls in- vestments proved very unfortunate, and tho result shows that he was not a careful, conservative man of business, OTHER LANDS THAN OURS. Roesla’s refusal to accept the British proposals has again ralsed serious appre- hensions concerning the peacs of Earope. If Russta peralsts upon terms which Eng- land cannot accept without surrendering all her pretensions as one of the great groat powers of Europe the Irrepressible conflict can not ba pat off mach longer. Even if a new settlement is [finally made or srrived at the Brltish public will con- tlnue to entertaln grave apprelensions for the future of the Indlan empire, If Russia does not go to Herat now a con- stant lookout will be kept for her golng at some later perlod. This apprehension is doubtless shared by Mr. Gladstone and his ministry, and their fears for the safety of India are doubtless responsible in a great measure for the abandonment of the Soudan, after such a costly war. The Britlsh troops have already evacu- ated the Mahdi’'s country, and the new line fs to be drawn at Wady Halfa, Suakim, the porton the Red Sea, Is not to ba abandoned until it can be taken by some elvillzed power to hold it against the Arabs, For several months it bas been besieged by Osman Digna, and not even the slaughter of his Arabs while at thelr prayers has put a stop to the persistency of tho eiege, This s the same Osman Digna whoee diecomfiturs and disappearance from the field has beeu announced g0 often in the last three monthe, He has a wonderful vitality after so many overthrows! The Turks would like to take posses- sesston of the Soudan as the euzerains of Egypt. But they want to use Egypt as the base of their operatluns, and to this neither the Engllsh nor the khedlve wlll agree. A Tarkish garrison In Cairo would be a form of ‘“multiple control” even less acceptable than that in which France loafers, and political favorites from be- comlng policomen, The police could thus be made an efficient body of men, metropolltan in sppearance, and an honor to the clty. A LEGAL FARCE. The Brighton rancho trespass case is again in the coarts, and the ludicrous speclacle is presented of the national government defending 1ts title to the public domain agalnst a band of forefgn cattle barors. A eurveyor has been ap- polnted to ‘‘view and locate” the fence, which stretches around forty thousand aores of land in Caster county, and wlit- nesses havo been summoned to give the color of justlce to a legal farce. The simple facts are, the ca'tle equatters have fenced In government land and prevented settlement thereon by brate forca. With a show of wealth and well-paid lawyers, theplea {8 made that the land fenced Is unfit for tilling, and should be left as a free grazing ground for cattle. The squatters by their own acts belie the words of thelr lawyers. Wo herds but thelr own are permitted within the en- closurs, and the stray cattle of settlers caught on the range are promptly branded and added to their herds. But the law's delay is exactly what the ranche people want, It glves them time to perfect the plans they have laid to se- cure tltle to the ranga. The small army of cowboys employed by the company have filed on tho land under the home- stead, pre-emption and timber culture acts, and a number of outslders have been induced tc file claims and soon after gell ont to the company. In this way the cattlo barons will secure fighting titls to the best of the land, and so becloud the title to the romalnder that few set- tlers wlll care to venture on the land. Theee are the methods and the plans of this band of prairie plratos, whosa claims and pretenslons ac! as a stone wall to set- tlement In Custsr county and prevents homes being bullt and farms cultivated, And yet the natlonal government falls into the equatters’ trep and goes into court for authorlty to remove obstructing trespassers from the public domain, Tuk clvil-tervice system of New York is to be introduced in Milwaukee. It is to be hoped that it will be adopted In Omaha. We believe it will find its way into every lmportant city of the country. There Is no question, says the New York Zimes, that appolntments for merlt, tested by competition and probation, ara as great an advantage for the public busi- ness of a clty as for that of the state, if not even greater, tince almost the entire work of a munlclpal ‘“‘government” is purely adminlstrative, involving the ex- ercise of no dlscretion ay to which politi- cal partles could poesibly differ. The final application of the merit system to Amerlcan citles will be brought about when the tax-psyers real!zs 1ts value, I discunesing the recent Inocalatlon in- vention of Dr, Ferran, the New York Tribune saysthat it *‘ seems to have been a genuine Invention, sought from the firet ,with clear purposo and scientific knowledge,” bat that it may beregarded by eome people as a * grinding monop- oly,” and that there will be a general dle- position to growl kecause its benefits are not obtaleable without any coet what- ever. The Inference from the Zvibune's remarks is that the invention !s to be treated as & “‘patent.” If the inventor 12 to be rewardell In any way it neumulm England the Irish vote turning over | paper may go out to the public, had a share. Butthe Turks donot seem to eeo their way to conquering the Soudanese from the coast of the Red Sea. Neither their naval resources nor the resources of that coast as a base of operatious, invits the experiment. The approach of a general election in England has already stimulated the po- litlcal aesociatlons to renewed efforts to influence publlo opinion cne way or an- other. The junlor liberal aseoclation, which has already extended from London to somo of the previnclal cities, pro- poses to enlarge its membership still farther in the eame direc- tion. In the contervatlve stronghold, especially, these provinclal aszoclations are to be established and sirengthened. Politlcal enlightenment by sauch meane, though not always satlefactory, s still generally an advance in the right direc- tion; and the fear of defeat, which is doubtless now prominently before liberal eyes, will tend to make these missionary efforts strenuous. The British hcme polley has raised a disturbance of no ordinary dimensions by the determination of the goverament to renew the Irlsh crimes act, which was orlginally passed for aspecified 1ime only, It now threatens to bring on a crisis and provoke political combinations which may serlously endanger the gcvernment in the forthcoming electlons, The crimes act, as is well known, was originally directed egainst the nattonal party, which had Irish independence for its purpose. The perpetration of mur- ders, the formatlon of eecret so- cieties for violent purposes, the Intimidation of jurles, the collapee of the police administration, rlots, boy- cottinge, and dlsturbsnces of the peace, which tke ordlnary laws of the land were not abie to reach, led up to its paesage. It waa a very stringent law. It author- ized spscial commission courts of thrce judges, instead of jaries, to try cases of the above kind. It gave the attorney- general the right to obtain change of venue, and, if he did not wish a jury, to proceed witbout one. It made intim- fdation and boycotling punishable with severs penalties. It gave the lord lientenant the authority to prohibit any public meeting which he believed would be dangerous to the peaze. The odious Carfew claueo enacted that If a person were out of his place of res!dence one hour after sunset or before sunrise he should be liable to arrest and Imprison- ment unless he cou'd make satisfactory explanations or prove that he was out upon some lawfal occupation. It pro- vided for the suppression of newspapers contalnlog matter judged by the lord lleutenant to be of a seditious character. It also enabled the police to search for and selze arms and documents “suspected or intended to be used for the purpoee of orin connec- tlon with any secret society exlsting for criminal purpoges,”” and also authorized maglstrates to examine witnesses when an offense had been committed, though no persons charged with the foffense might be present, The last clause in the bill, known as “‘the blood tax,” author- ized the lord lieutenant to award com- pensatlon, to come out of the pcekets of the people, when any une was malmed or murdered, if the crime were agrartan or the outcome f unlawful assoclations, Coerclon pure and simple, untempersd by a single concerslon, supplies the rally- ing cry which will unite all classes and inspire them with the enthuslasm of hot and joest resentment which will bring evérybody to the polls In the general election, The Parpellites, after much dellbera- tion, have virlually decided upon their programme, The torles must be exter- minated In Ulster by a comblination with the whigs and a partitlon cf seats botween them and the Par- nellites, In Eongland Irlshmen will vote the tory ticket, excopt in such rara cases @8 thoee of Cowen, La- bouchere and Thompeon of Durham and Storey, of Sunderland, The extermina- tlon ¢f Irish orangemen will remove the great obstacle to the English secticn of the tory party examiving Irlsh demands in a spirit of possible compromise, whils forty or fifty seats will prevent the liberal from obtalning that sweeplng majorlty which the Parnellites now conslder one of the gravest dangers of their fature causs, The manner in which the war with France was brought to an end has strengthened greatly the =ar party In Cbine. It {s Russia that they proposs to turn upon next, and_they demand a do- limitation ¢f the Russian empire on their side. For years past the Russian line has come lower down the eastern const of Asla, until it is not very distant from Pekin. This makes the Chineso more sensible than did French aggression In Tonquin, Pekin la the vilal gangllon in the huge polyp called China. A olow at it is the only means of affecting the policy ot the ruling caste. And to Pekin the Russlans are now much too near for Chinese comfort. 1t is doubtfol whether the rumors of an impending war between Russia and En, land suggested this new move on Chi part. Concelt and cunning are so nearly balanced In the character of the Chines that It 1s hard to say which of the two in uppermost at any one time. Their cun- ning would anggest & use of the troubles between the two Huropean powers, Their conceft would lead them to think themselves a match for Russia without England’s ald. The nows that Russia has demanded and sccured the release of Ayoub Khan, and Intends to use him asa claimant to the ameership of Afghanistan, wears an alr of probabllity, She has all along protested to the shah of Persla agalnst his enforced detention; and if she has at last issued a déemand for his release, it will be not at all surprising, Nor is it at all unlikely thatthe shah has conceded her demand. Russia is the power that can most eatily aesail him; and to refuse to comply with her demand would epeedily loso him his throne. And should 1t prove that Russia has demanded the release of Ayoub Khan, it is evident that affairs with England are far from being settled. Russia, in such a case, proposes to establish a status in Afghan- istan, And this will practically amount to the control ¢f that country. If the presont ameer {8 not sufficiently concil- iatory, she makes it evident than she has another ready, who will place him on the throne of Cabul. Ruesla bas gained, point by point, all she has been striving for; ana England’s weaknees has been akill- fully avalled of in making the most rapid progress toward the Indian border she has ever succieded in doing. And {f at one stroke she can plant herself in the seat of authorlty at Cabul, ehe will have accomplished her object in that direction and will be pre- pared to move cn Persia. The chances are that she will a% least make an en- trance into Afghanistan, Whether she will gain open and uncorcaaled control of that country at once is doubtful. It ls hy threatening everything that she will galo most; and eshe has started, it is Iikely, on ‘this last rtage of diplomatic ad- ventura. And thls step will at lesst lead to some resnlts, whether ali she atms at rematns to be seen. She fs wily and audacious, The sturdy opposition of the Austral- ians has prevented France from setiing up a penal colory in the South Sea. So the Brisson-Freycinet ministry announce their purpose to make French Guisna into such a colony. Heretofore, politi- cal prisoners have been sent to Cayenne, but never criminals,. The rapidity with whica the former escaped from the set— tlement, forewarns us as to what will happen when the criminal scum of French soclety is carted over to the Amerlcan continent. Even from Australia conviets made their way tous. We have escaped convicts frcm Botany Bay living in this very city. Are we to put up with a system which the pecple of Australia would not? Shall we not rather tell France to keep her crimin: t home as we do, and a3 England now does? If we had an American state system, such as Mr. Blalne proposed, there would have been no difficulty, and the whole conti. nent would have given France netice to stop. But in its absence something should be done, and the United States 1s best able to do t. The latest news from Central America indicates that President Zaldivar, of San Salvador, has become, by the death of Barrios, the most prominent political figure in that region. All accounts of the recent disturbance agree in asserticg that Zaldivar had promised to aeslst Barrios in carrying out his plan, and thst Bar- rios relied mpon his ald until it was discovered, almost at the last moment, that the raler of San Salvador had gone over to the enemy. Zaldlvar's defectlon would of itself have been cuffi- clent, probably, to defeat Barrios if the dictator had cscaped the sharpshooter’s bullet and lived to lead his army. The president of San Salvador has caussd a decree of goncral amnesty to ba lssued, and will exast, with the assistance or consent of Honduras, Cesta Rica, and Nicaragua, a war indemnity of $10,000,000. In his oplnion it wlll also be necessary to weaken Guatemala by slicing off some of her ter- ritory. 1f other republics assist him in the proposed dlsmemberment of Barrlos’ country they may find that they have greatly Increased the power of San Salva- dorand glven to Zaldivar the preponder- ating strength and Influence that made Barrios dangeroue, Conads must breathe easier now that Louis Rlel 18 a prisoner in the hands of her troops.
