The Perfidious Interference of Plattand Woodruff

GovernorChairman versionia published to the his cele-

brated organ the Newburg Dotty Newsand Acknowledged Leader of HudtonRiver Journalism

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-

self pledged himself re-

marking at the that did not caremuch whether the nomination or

happened This happened ac-cording to the Newburg organ of theGovernorChairman-

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

The further offences and infractionsof the Treaty of Highland Falls by PLATT

Science at St LouisOf late years it has become the fashion

at great worlds fair to provideby of tho material exhibits andnovel forms of amusement for

various kinds at which perin their several

The programme is the most ambitiousthat has yet been made The mass ofhuman knowledge has beenrather strangely and as togive every specialist a chance to speakSociology seems to have the lions sharoand to have annexed several older sci

but then sociologists are hard toWhat with departments di-

visions and sections provision is madefor over 300 announced speakers nearlyhalf of thorn from foreign parts but thisdoes not include remarks from chairmendirectors and EO on When the congressgets into full swing there will bo simul-taneous talking by sixteen atime in different course tillthe end of the

No arrangement of this kind prepared long beforehand can beout exactly as planned Weformed that the programme has notfilled up as well as expected Stillenough eminent men have already arrived in this country to make the

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

Six or seven months after my brother1disappearance I woke up one morning In abright alert excited state and cilied mrmother Instantly and told her John was com-ing home and that he had a new chip hat onwith a green ribbon on it I had seen hun Ina dream although I never could dittingutthwhero the dream ended and the wakIngbegan When I told my mother It was be-

tween 7 and 8 oclock In the morning At tooclock my brother John came to the doorwearing a bright new chip hat with a greenribbon It was the first of tho kind he hadworn
