The permanent retention of Col. Partridge as Com- missioner of Police is obviously impossible. If there requirements of this most important office, that question bas been finally settled by the developments of the mast few days. The reform of the Police Department was one of the first pledges of the reform movement; {t is one of the first duties of the reform administration, and by in meant not a superficial or temporary reform « evils, but a thorough. unsparing, merciless and per- manent reform which shall sweep away the whole sys- tem of corruption from top to bottom and reconstruct and reorganise the force on @ basis of efficiency, honesty and inoorruptibility. To expect such a reformation of the force from the administration of Col. Partridge would be worse than foolish. He iacks the qualities needed to battle with the tutrenched forces of blackmail, terrorism and “pull,” backed up as they are by the whole organized and de- flant law-breaking interests of the city. If anything ‘s to be done it must be done by some other and stronger man at the head of the department. | A change must be made, and, since it is inevitable | the change cannot be made too soon. No further delay | should bo permitted in carrying out the pledge to which the reform administration te most solemnly committed ‘and which !t has most conspicuously failed to keep. & Livety Outlock—Last Sunday's salcon-closing exper!- ence in Greater New York attracts attention to the pros- pects of next Sunday.
