The Investigation before the police
communion of the alleged misconduct o
Policeman McBrldo fully sustains the
position I'HE linn hns taken in opposl
tlon lo the demoralizing practice of per
milling our policemen lo rtimmnpo about
private houses as moral scavengers
According lo his own testimony Police
man McBrlde , while off duty , entered i
prlvnlo house under the pretense of mak
ing Inquiry nboutgarbtige , but In realltj
lo ascertain whether the women who
occupied tlio liotiB9 were bad. How waa
ho lo flild out that they were bad ? By
Improper proposals , of course !
Js a policeman justified In making such
proposals either oft duty or on duty'
Even If the women upon whom McBridq
Intruded without warrant of law wcro
bad , what business had ho there Uttder
any pretext when not on duty ? Suppobo
a policemanwa on Iho wrong scent and
entered n private house and instilled ro-
speclablo ladies ?
In Hits .Inslnnce complaint Was made
against McBride before Iho commission.
Ono of Iho women upon whom McBrldo
had Inlruded was eilctl as n witness , sub
jected to a coarse and brulal examina
tion by McBrldo'snltornoysand brought
into ridicule by Iho roportd published In
Iho papers. "Wholhor Ibis ) womtin is good
or bad is imnnUorlal. Her treatment
was an outrage.
Why should the police , commission
conduct such inquiries with open doors ?
Why should they allow any altornoy lo
appear for policemen lo browbeat wit
nesses ? The commissioners nro compe
tent enough lo make an inquiry into lllo
conduct of Bubordiiialcs without assist'
unco from nnbotly.
Suppose that any man's wife , sister or1
daughter was insulted by a policeman
who entered a house unbidden and while
off duly when ho had no authority , are
they lo bo subjected lo in-
sulls before a commission with imper
tinent questions into their private
affairs and their responses to bo pro
claimed from Iho house-lops ? But tlio
commission dismissed the complaint , ex
onerated Policeman McBride and had
him reinstated. That sets a very nice
example for other policemen who may
when off or on duty prowl about people's
promises , into private dwellings under
all sorts of pretexts , or runnnugo through
apartment houses to fltul out whether
borne of the hunates are open to insult
ing proposals.
If this Is what our commission consid
ers to bo the function of policemen , re
spectable people and others aa well will
have to arm themselves and protect their
domiciles from unwarranted and lawless
intrusion by the pretended guardians of
Iho public peace.
FOttI MEKC1IAKT 3UIIIXE.
If dolermined and persistent oltort on
the part of the advocates of vessel sub
sidies can avail anything , there will bo
legislation by the present congress for
building up a merchant marine by dona
tions from the public treasury. Bills for
this purpose havo. been introduced into
both houses , two having been reported
to the senate last week from the commit
tee on commerce. The modt important
of these , in the demand wl\ich it
would mnko on the treasury ,
is known as the shipping league
tonnage bill , and was framed
by representatives of the various ship
ping leagues , whoso aggregate member
ship Senator Pryo slaled lo bo one or two
hundred * thousand "important men. "
This bill received favorable consideration
from-tho house committee on merchant
marine4 , and has been only slightly
amended by the senate committee.
The measure proposes that the govern-
motit fchtill pay thirty cents a ton for
every ono thousand miles bailed , and in
cludes all yesbols from live hundred tons
upward , whether constructed of iron ,
steel or wood , or propelled by
slcam or sail. Such vebheLs , however ,
must bo of modern construction , must
carry a certain proportion of American
eilr/.cjna as bailers , shall bo olllcored by
American citizens , and may bo taken by
Lho government for borvico in time of
war. In presenting Ibis measure Sena
tor Pryo slated that according to the
commissioner of navigation it would
[ irobably cost the government for the
ilrst year between three and three and a
lialf million dollars , and would increase
within six years to live or six million
dollars. Whether or not the maxi
mum subsidy outlay would then ho
reached the sennlor did not say. It
would hardly have been expedient to ex
tend the estimates. There is reason to
joliovo , however , if the opinion of the
[ iromotors of Iho measure that it would
enormously stimulate shipbuilding is
ontllled to any weight , that the figures
of llio commissioner of navigation very
much undorslato Iho probable cost at
Lho end of six years. If the merchant
narluo should in that time attain the
; > roportlons necessary to moot the
demands of the country's for
eign commerce the subsidy charge
oil the treasury would bo at least live
.lines the amount estimated by Iho com
missioner. It is of courbO impossible to
say to what oxtunt capital would embark
n this class of enterprise , but certainly
.ho inducement would bo sufficient if
, here could bo any assurance that the
subsidy policy would bo maintained. A
very simple compulation will demon-
slnilo Ihls. A steamship of five thou
sand tons sailing between Now York and
Liverpool would receive from the treas
ury nlno thousand dollars for the
round trip. If she should make
ton trips a year her sub
sidy claim would bo nlnotv
thousand dollars , which is five per cent
on ono million eight hundred thousand
lollnrs. Surely capital could not ask
my bolter inducement toinvest , hi ship
building limn Mich a guaranloo , the only
reason for hesitation being Iho question
) f Its continuance. The advocates of
Ihls policy claim that it would save the
woplo of thoJTJnlled Stales many mil-
ions for every million It would cost , but
t Is quito impossible lo fcallsfaolorlly
demonstrate this. Nobody questions that
the roa'toratlonof thocounlry's merchant
nartno Is desirable , but neither our own
experience nor that of other countries
with vessel subsidies justifies the belief
tlmt it can bo accomplished in this way.
The other bill introduced , providing
for mall contracts with American stoam-
shl'ps between ports of the United States
md ports of foreign nations , while prac
tically a subsidy measure , is far loss ob-
jectionnblo thnrt tlio tonhngobill , thougli
it proposes ft imleh larger compensation
for the scrvicolhnn IH necessary , Undoi
this measure first class ships cari'vlnj
Iho malls would bo paid six dollar :

sailing Iwtwecrt Now York and Liverpool
would receive for the round I rip thirty
six Ihousnml dollars , or thrco huudrci ;
mid sixty thousand dollars for len Irlp :

over seven million dollars. Members o

Tlio movements on the railroad chock'
crbd'ird point unerringly lo lines leading
from oceini to ocean. When C. P. Hunt
Ington obtained control of n sulllclclil
number of railroads' to connect the
Southern Pacific with tidewater at New >
port NOWH , his daring enterprise demon
strated the practicability of profitablj
operating a transcontinental line. 1'lic
Santa Fo made a spurt in the same di
rection by extending from Iho Missouri
river lo Chicago. This move
fot-ccd Iho Union Pacific In
solf-defense lo ally itself wllli
the Northwestern lo secure an outlet -
lot to the lakes. And now the Northern
Pacific ha acquired control of the Wis
consin Central , which gives it an en
trance to the gi'cut mld-cohllnent ter
minal. But will these great Hues bo
content to stop there ? Judging the
future by the pasl it is reasonably col-
tain that the final terminals will bo on
the Atlltnllti and Pacific boaboimK The
Union Pncillc-Norlhweslorli alliance
practically forms a combination extend
ing from Now York to Portland , Oregon.
Circumstances point to a close alliance
between the Northern Pacific and Balti
more & Ohio , thus realizing Henry Vil-
lard's dream of a great transcontinonlal
route. In like manner the Burlington
must ovonlunlly cross Iho mounlaiiis
lo Iho Pacific coast. ' It is inevita
ble. It cannot stop at Denver ,
Salt Lake or Ogden and subsist
on such crumbs of commerce as the
through lines will dispense , but must
reach tidewater to successfully compete
for all classes of Irafllc. In twenty years
the present vast systems have been de
veloped. oAnothcr twenty years will
wipe out what are now considered inland
terminals and make the principal trunk
lines distinctively transcontinental.
MEASVItKS OF HE
The position of llio senate committee
which investigated the diversion of
commerce from Ihe railroads 'of Ihe
United States to these of Canada , and
the alleged discrimination against Amer
ican vebsols on Canadian canals , regard
ing remedial legislation , is not so ex
treme as was at first represented. The
country will unhesitatingly approve the
rccomjnendalion that &o long as Canada
continues to discriminate against Amer
ican vessels iu her canals and ports
Canadian vessels should be 'sub
jected to the bumo rule as lo
charges. This mailer is not a now ono ,
but has been a source of complaint on the
part of American vessel owners for a
number of years , audit is certainly time
our government took borne action to bc-
cure just Ircalmonl for our citizens in this
particular , or else applied Iho Mime rule
to Canadian vessel owners tlmt the Do
minion government applies lo our vessel
owners. There is obvious jiihlice ,
also , in providing a discriminat
ing loll on the tonnage of Ca
nadian vessels passing through the
Sault Sto Marie canal so long as the
Canadian government allows n discrimi
nation on products of the United Stales
in favor of Monlrcal and ports below
that city on the St. Lawrence river.
The committee asserts , that this dis
crimination Is an open violation both of
the spirit and letter of Iho treaty of
Washington , and of this there is no
doubt.
With regard to llio more impor
tant and dlfllcult matter of regu
lating Canadian railroads engaged
as common carriers in competition
with American railroads in the
Iransportution business of the United
Slates , the suggestions of Iho committee
are conservative. It thinks it Iho duly
of congress lo take such net ion as will
glvo American railroads an oven chance
In competition with tlio railroads of
Canada doing business in thu United
States , and this the committee regards
as especially warranted by the fact that
the Canadian statutes in terms justify
the railroad * * of Canada as to all
traffic secured from Iho United States ,
in disregarding Ihu long and short haul
rule of the interstate commerce act. In
view of the fuel that the question of
modifying or repealing thai rule is being
much discussed In Ihls country , the com
mittee does not propose any aetlon t,0 ,
make it applicable to the Canadian
roads , but recommends that n license
system bo established applicable lo Iho
Canadian railroads doing business in Iho
United States , or borne other
[ ) lan not Injurious to the trade
md commerce of the country bo
idoptcd thitt will glvo American
railroads an equal chance In compoll-
Lion with tlio alien corporations. This
, n the judgment of the committee is de
manded In the interest , both of the rail
roads and the commerce of the country.
So far as the recommendations of Iho
jommllteo are retaliatory they beom
alenrly to bo warranted by the fnols and
jlrcumstancos , while the suggestion of
501110 action that will protect American
railroads against a destructive compcti-
.ion . encouraged by Canadian laws will not
all to receive general public approval.
