Avteg all the cry t y Whit ney had destroyed American shipbuild- ing by his rigorous treatment of *John Roueh, and thatno bids would be forth- coming for {he new cruwsers, it must be mortifying for Roach’s defenders to di cover that from three to four competitors handed in estimates for the con- struction of the new navy and that every bid but one falls within the amount ap- propriated. Mr. Roach’s martyrdom failed of its intended effect. Where the veteran lobbyist and subsidy secker dared not tread, other firms equally responsible are not afraid to compete. Tue portion of the poor farm which is to be sold should be platted so as to bring in the lurgest amount of money, both at present and in the future, when the re- mainder of the farm is thrown on the market. Lots of the size of three to the acre will be more desirable than those vlatted five to the aere. Large and hand some residence lots sold on terms of one third eash and the balance in two years’ time would go off at high prices to par- ties who would buy them to improve at once. It would be well for the commis- ioners to consider the matter from every standpoint before staling out the prop- erty: Thereis no hurry about the sale. Nothing can be done towards coustruct- ing the new hospital before spring. The plans are not even yet decided upon, It will be months before any pay- menis on the contracts, yet to be let, need be made, It the property is sold in the spring, 1t will be time enough. Better prices can be ob- tained then than can be possibly secured in midwinter. The county cannnt make ten or fifteon per cent easior than by postponing the appraisement and sale of lota for a few months, ] Turre are two faults with our police systom as at present admistered. First, we have too few men on the force, and socondly the men which we have are not ofthe proper kind, We cannot materi- ally increase tho number of oflicers be- cnuse we are restricted in the amount of our levy for police purposes. The force itself is inefliciont Lecause it is appointed on partisan grounds, quite independent of tho marshal and it feels its indepen dence. There is naturally no discipline and the whole community suffers The remedy and the only remody is the creation of la non partisan police com mission, who shall have charge of ail ap- poiniments to the force, including a superintendent of police of experience and ability. Such u commission will adopt rules for the admission of appli- cantsto the police fore They will hu the requirements usual in other large oities, Every appheant for a 1y on the force will be exammed physically Old men and striphngs willbe aliko re jected and there will be standard of size linary eaps Men will receive place the force because they are tilling them and they will hold them on an ascending scale of pay because they re competent aud fit for the wo 80 fur as the chief of | is con cerned, tho board would doubtless net Just ns the school bozrd does in selecting its superintendent of instruction. It would find a competent man wherever it could and pay him a good salary for the performance of his duties. With a re- organized force, conducted on & non- vartisan basis, under rigid civil-service rules, such a chief of police would be infinitely niore eflicient than any one could bo under our vresent lack of sys- tew.
