Realizing that if the drilling continued | there would not be over a half-dozen men left to partol the classic precincts south of the slot, Sergeant Michael Joseph Con- | boy of the Southern Station is seriously thinking of appealing to the Humane So- ciety to call a halt. The men are forced to drill in a cold corridor in the lower floor of the Cit Hall, where the wind on a March d: sings_a requiem to the policemen have laid ¢ ance of their duties.

In several instan; however, the drill- ing of the men has resulted in reducing the corpulency of the heavy-weights of the department.

Formerly he wore a ‘“nine- + collar, but he can now easily wear one of eighteen, and three-quarter inches. His bills for shirts have amounted to about half his salary, as he is compelled to throw away his linen at the conclusion of each arill. “Scotty” Campbell declares that Knight is takihg anti-fat medicine | and trying to make it appear that the daily exercise through which he is put is responsible for his “great” loss of weight. To-day a committee of policemen will wait on Chief Sullivan and endeavor to induce him to set aside a certain amount of money to be used in purchasing porous plasters and_cough mixture for the “cop- pers” who have contracted colds while engaged In the drills. If their wishes are not granted they intend to appeal to the | Supervisors for relief. | CHANGES TO BE MADE IN THE POLICE FORCE The Police Pension Commissioners will hold their first regular quarterly meeting | this afternoon, when Captain Bohen of the detective department, as foreshad- | owed in, last Monday's Call, will be re- 1t was reported that Captain Dun- | for the statement that there is no trut | in_the report.

It is generally conceded that Cng’tmn Seymour, now in charge of the City Pris- on, will be promoted to the vacancy | caused by the retirement of Bohen, and that Lieutenant Esola will be made a | captain to succeed Seymour in the prison. | That will leave a lieutenancy for some sergeant, and a_number are already can- vassing for the job. As soon as the new head of the de- | tective department takes command there will be a shaking up in the “‘upper office,” but who will be retired to the ranks and | who promoted is a matter of conjecture.

The word caucus did not come into u: until about the year 1724, when, his torfans tell us, a group of some twenty men in the town of Boston, of whom the | father of the patriotic orator, Samu Adam: s one, were accustomed to meet to consider practical questions in l¢ politics and to “lay their plans for intro Qucing certain persons into places of trust and power.” Then, having agreed the person. each member of the | used his influence with others to plish ed.

Wherever despotic gov- ernment presses upon a people intelligent | enough to work together to accomplish an | end, such organizations always arise. people inevitably combine to resist oppr sion. To some extent the American so- cletfes were modeled after the Frex | Jacobin socteties but they acted also as nominating bodles. When one of these societies, or caucuses, appointed a com- mittee of conference to meet with other committees from other clubs to consider in respect to candidates for elective of- fice they instituted what was really, in ef- fect, a dele ion. When the Government had become f the caucus—which by that time was gen- | eral, at le throughout the Northern | States—g; Iy ceased to be held in s cret, and in those localities where th | town meeting prevailed differed litt from a town meeting Such it still remains in many place: chiefly in New England, outside of arge cities and in States settled by New England people.

Candi- dates for office—national, State or local— who were elected by districts were still self-announced or were selected by mass. meetings of the party voters in the elec- tion area. These mass-meetings, growing too large and unwieldly for their pur- pose, gradually became gatherings of det. egates, self-selected at first, to act for their party, but after a time regularly ap- pointed members of a nominating con- vention.
