Republicans of the Empire The Pluck of the British Army London Times has been printing loiters from correspondents on the ques- tion of deterioration in the fighting qual- ities of the British soldier

regarded as a cause for regret which the world bravery- is a national nor char- acteristic It is a quality which man shares many other and no one or racial claim a monopoly of It or even a marked su-

they ore not Yet such a conclusion can be reached only with hesitation when there is called- to mind the long dur- ing the present generation In which English soldiers have rivalled the valor in the wars of earlier days Ono of the letters published over the signature Old Soldier states clearly and concisely the underlying cause of this deterioration There is no tho writer says that of luxury

Washington I787W M8 4SS Recently there has been a considersbia addition to the New York department- and probably to the forces in the other cities in this list It is fair to assume that the population of communi- ties has increased in same time and the proportion of inhabitants to police is probably fairly represented in this table It will be seen that Philadelphia- has more policemen in proportion to its population than any of the other cities in the list while Chicago has the fewest Crimes of violence are particularly prev- alent in Chicago and it is probable one reason for their frequency is the of adequate police protection Comparing these figures with those for London whose police department is gen- erally regarded as a particularly excel- lent one a reason for its high standing is found at once According to Whitakers Almanack tho City Police district with an area of 671 acres and a night pop- ulation of 31148 is policed by 1001 officers and constables not including 57 constables on private service The pro- portion of police to population cannot bo estimated because it is impossible to determine tho number of who are in the city in business But the Metropolitan police district contains a population which may be stated at 6500000 rho force of constables and other officers employed to protect this population on Nov 8 1903 included 10503 men of all grades or one to 394 residents Thus each fifty fewer people to look after than the New York police officer Had this pro- portion of police to inhabitants prevailed- in this city four ago we should have had 8725 men the department instead of the actual 7414 and that number would have had to be increased annually One reason why the New York de- partment has not been increased is found in the great expense that would be in- volved Policemen receive pay higher than that of other peace officers in the world Tho addition of A considerable number of men to the pay roll would make an appreciable differ- ence in the city budget It is apparent however that the increase is necessary and Commissioner McAooo should be allowed to make It promptly A Beautiful Tribute The Hon WADES speech of nomination of the Hon

Depewism the motherinlaw a mans mothorinlaw has become what MARK TWAIN would call a root joke No irrepressible jocosity oozes out of it It doesnt appear that a majority of the married race lives at enmity with mothersinlaw A sort of customary- and consecrated waggery has grown up The press and the stage continue- to be faithful to It Perhaps the tried fleer is the safest and sanest any rate the ferocious allregulating motherinlaw and the meek or too frolicsome ooninlaw are stock figures- It is a well of many savage or barbarous etiquette or taboo that a man and his motherinlaw shall not speak at or look upon one another To some imperfectly understood sur and modification of this widely and ancient custom may be at tributed perhaps the comic irrecon- cilable war of mothorinlaw and son

Sept 15 Kxpcrlcnoei of a Dreamer Prophet of Wonderful filfl To IHE EnTon OP TUB Btrx Sfr When 1 was a boy of 11 years on my fathers form In Ireland my oldest brother John who was then 21 took a trip to England to do for himself without taking any one into his con fldonco He did not write during his stay In England and many distressing conjecture- were made aa to where ho had gone my good mother keeping the whole family in constant memory of him by her unceasing lamenta- tions over his absence Six or seven months after my brother1 disappearance I woke up one morning In a bright alert excited state and cilied mr mother Instantly and told her John was com- ing home and that he had a new chip hat on with a green ribbon on it I had seen hun In a dream although I never could dittingutth whero the dream ended and the wakIng began When I told my mother It was be- tween 7 and 8 oclock In the morning At to oclock my brother John came to the door wearing a bright new chip hat with a green ribbon It was the first of tho kind he had worn Four years after the foregoing another brother went with the full knowledge and consent of the family to fill a situation In Tresco one of the Scilly Islands off Land End England Our home was four miles away from the post oolcc and every time mj brother wrote I could tell absolutely when letter reached our post office and would tell my mother of Its arrival and she would me to saddle Prince a young horse and for the letter 1 never went In vain nor had the letters ever remained over a day in the post onice At that time I would be asked In the most matter of fact way at the breakfast table Is there a letter from Scilly today and my yes or no wits taken as positively as though the postmaster had examined the and given the ankwer waa very

The Perfidious Interference of Plattand Woodruff

GovernorChairman versionia published to the his cele-

From this eminent repository of po-

litical truth we learn that at a tripartiteconference on a recent Sunday at thehomo of PLAIT at Highland Hills theaged Senator the GovernorChairman-and the Honorable TIMit was agreed that the

should be open as regards the Guber-natorial nomination and each leaderpledged himself not to attempt to in-

fluence tho choice of the Republicanrepresentatives at Saratoga ODKLLpledged himself Put pledged him-

been planned br Messrs WOODRUFF and PLATTexpressly to bind Governor ODKLL and make ricersailing for the Woodruff candidacy The Gove-rnors understanding wss that all the candidatesshould have a fair show and he rave them a fairshow declining to express preference for any man

Police and PopulationPolice Commissioner MoAooos plea

for the Increase of the foroe under hiscommand without which he declaresthat it is impossible to cover the cityproperly makes it interesting to observethe proportion of policemen to inhabitants in New York and somo of the other

in this country thefigures of population and

the latest available police statistics asthe basis of calculation the number ofinhabitants in the cities named to eachpoliceman are as given in the third col-

umn of the subjoined tableFoptAatton

Recently there has been a considersbiaaddition to the New York department-and probably to the forces in the othercities in this list It is fair to assumethat the population of communi-ties has increased in same time andthe proportion of inhabitants to policeis probably fairly represented in thistable It will be seen that Philadelphia-has more policemen in proportion to itspopulation than any of the other citiesin the list while Chicago has the fewestCrimes of violence are particularly prev-alent in Chicago and it is probableone reason for their frequency is theof adequate police protection

Comparing these figures with those forLondon whose police department is gen-erally regarded as a particularly excel-lent one a reason for its high standing isfound at once According to WhitakersAlmanack tho City Police district withan area of 671 acres and a night pop-

ulation of 31148 is policed by 1001officers and constables not including 57

constables on private service The pro-

portion of police to population cannot boestimated because it is impossible todetermine tho number of whoare in the city in business Butthe Metropolitan police district containsa population which may be stated at6500000 rho force of constables andother officers employed to protect thispopulation on Nov 8 1903 included10503 men of all grades or one to394 residents Thus eachfifty fewer people to look after than theNew York police officer Had this pro-portion of police to inhabitants prevailed-in this city four ago we shouldhave had 8725 men the departmentinstead of the actual 7414 and thatnumber would have had to be increasedannually

One reason why the New York de-

partment has not been increased is foundin the great expense that would be in-

volved Policemen receive payhigher than that of other peaceofficers in the world Tho addition of A

considerable number of men to the payroll would make an appreciable differ-ence in the city budget It is apparenthowever that the increase is necessaryand Commissioner McAooo should beallowed to make It promptly

irrepressible jocosity oozes outof it It doesnt appear that a majorityof the married race lives at enmity withmothersinlaw A sort of customary-and consecrated waggery has grownup The press and the stage continue-to be faithful to It Perhaps thetried fleer is the safest and sanestany rate the ferocious allregulatingmotherinlaw and the meek or toofrolicsome ooninlaw are stock figures-

It is a well of many savageor barbarous etiquette or taboothat a man and his motherinlaw shallnot speak at or look upon one anotherTo some imperfectly understood sur

and modification of this widelyand ancient custom may be at

tributed perhaps the comic irrecon-cilable war of mothorinlaw and soninlaw

The effects of that old custom and ofthe preAdamlte lingering jocositiesabout it may still be traced in contem-porary manners and belong to thatwide realm of sociology whereof andnot for the first time we are proud tocall ourselves humble subjects To abrother sociologist in Newark we owea notice of this advertisement printed-as a personal in the Evening News of

TELEPATHY ONCE MORE

To EDITOR of THE Ithank William L Stone for bringingunder my notice all tho curious coincidencesenumerated In his letter But my simpleanswer that In the chapter ot accidentmany curious coincidences do occur andthat when we are struck by themapt to ho dressed up by the ourretroactive irnnnlnation Mr Stone willhavo to set against them tho InnumerableInstances In which thought U not

as It would he If there were a generalmedium of transmission In the case ofthe son who was nearly drowned It does notappear that there was any thought at allto b transmitted There was only tIn factthat ho was Under water which we are tosuppose was mysteriously Imparted-

Mr Stone thinks It presumptuous In mto oajume that there was no medium oftransmission between the pangs of a dogrun over by a railway train and tho distantmind of his owner suffering from night-mare Bold aa tho assumption U I amready In the absence of further evidence-to risk it

Tho reason for challenging strict proofof these marvels Is that unless they arereal they may lead us off on a false trackat a crisis of spiritual Inquiry when deluslou may lie fatal GOLDWIN SMITH
