MARSHAL AND POLICE-
Our city charter , section 95 , ' gives
the marshal absolute control of the
police forte of the cily , nnd in that
connection leaves him nly subject to
the orders of the mayor , who as chief
executive ia vested with the power of
appointing the marshal and policemen
by and with the consent of the coun
cil. Marshal Antcol has now been in
oflico moro than a year , and has
proved himself utterly incflloiont as
the head of our poh'ca forco. IIo is
by nature and habit unfitted for
police duly , which requires prompt
ness of decision , vigor and tact. He
ia deficient in all these qualities , be
ing slow , lazy and indulgent. Above
all things , ho lacks the ability which ,
in the police department as
in the army , is most essential.
His deputy ia oven less ofliciont and
moro shiftless. No wonder our police
force is sadly demoralized and fails in
every respect to fulfill the functions
for which it ia created.
It is the duty of the police to nr-
rest every person who violates the
city ordinances in their presence , but
it is notorious that policemen do not
only fail to do their duty in this re
spect , but some of them actually draw
extra pay as special policemen for
keeping order in resorts whore the
law is systematically violated.
Since July 1 , 1881 , our po-
llcemon draw $70 a month.
The deputy marshal is entitled to
$ GO per month as jailor , nnd $10 per
month as janitor of the city olliceH.
As a matter of fact most of his duties
aru performed by Policeman Orana-
clicr , who does all the janitor work
and most of the jail guarding , for
which the city paya another § GO per
month. Since July 1st the marshal
without authority of law , lion filed
vouchers for his deputy nt § 70 per
month in addition to the $10 ho draws
as janitor , simply because the council
passed an ordinance raising the pay of
policemen from § 00 to § 70 per month.
Mayor Boyd , in his late message ,
recommends an increase of police and
the doubling of jail guards. There is no
doubt wo want an increase of police ,
Imt wo certainly need no increase of
ailora.
Before the police is incroauod , however -
over , the council ohould put its foot
down and insist on certain qualifica
tions for policemen.
In the army , whore the duties nro
similar , no innnia , enlisted who is over
45 years of ago because the duties of
soldiers require young and active men.
Even army officers are retired after
they pans their period of active use
fulness.
Next to physical ability coma tem
per nnd habit. The police should bo
made up of men who can pass a en-
loon nithout getting so thirsty as to
lose control ever themselves. They
want men who have a nose for Hcruti-
nizing criminals and the grit to follow
and capture them.
Every man in the present police
force who is qualified should bo ro-
tamed and these who are disqualified
by bad habits or advanced ago should
bo retired. In choosing his force the
mayor should regard the wishes of the
marshal , but when the marshal him
self is incompetent the mayor should
act on his personal knowledge as to the
fitness of men for police duty since he
is responsible to the city for the pub
lic safety. If the mayor nominates
men who are notoriously'unfit for po
lice duty the council is in duty bound
to refuao its consent to such appoint-
moutu. . ,
RALPH WALDO EMERSON.
The death of Mr. Emerson , which
occurred on Friday in Concord , Mass. ,
removes from the field of American letters -
tors a priest of thought and a prophet
of self culture whoso stimulus will forever -
ever bo impressed upon our national
literature. Poet , philosopher , orator ,
cssayint , a preacher whoso creed re
fused to bo confined 'within the nar
row bounds of creed and whoso reli
gion found its mainspring in that in
ner light which is at once the basis
and the outgrowth of all true spiritual
discernment , no American author of
the present century has so powerfully
affected the current of thought
in this country or turned it into chan
nels of such fruitful and lite-giving ac
tivity.
Mr. Emerson was , by nature , a phil
osopher , and is properly ranked as
such. It has well been said that E.m-
orson concentrated and vitalized the
best aspirations of Amorio an transcon
dontalism. The voice of * tlioQorn7an
idealists first woke Jlow England from
her study of the Oalvinistio theology ,
and enlarging her mental vision , made
Boston a very pantheon of stranger
deities of philosophy and doini-gods
of ancient and modern thought. In
this temple , at whoso altars Ohanning
was a timid worshipper , and Theodore
Parker a late born convert , Emerson
long ministered as high priest. Thoreau -
eau , Margaret Fuller' and Bran
son Alcott were co-worshippers ,
teachers of a school which
for years was the greatest stimulus
of the literary , social and political
thought of Now England and through
New England of the United States.
But Ralph Waldo Emerson from that
day in July 1838 when ho delivered
bis remarkable oration ut Cambridge
was the acknowledged master mind
the "aago of Concord" whoso homo
was the Mecca to which the. present
generation of thinkers over turned
their eyes for Inspiration and strength.
Mysticism was Emcwons creed , hu
manity his religion , and eclecticism
his philosophy. As the goal of his
ethical system ho hold up a
stern nnd practical rectitude
worthy of his clerical ancestry. Ko-
taining from lib study of Orienaliam.
a strong belief in the supremacy of
the emotions , that "Ovor Soul" which
makes all good men kin , hocombattod
strongly the idea of philosophic indif
ference and declared boldly that "feu-
dalism and orientalism had long enough
thought it majestic to do nothing , "
stoutly maintaining that "tho modern
majesty consists in work. "
Mr. Emerson has often boon com
pared to Carlylo. His literary work
shop forged no rapiers but turned out
migh'y weapons remarkable oliko for
the kconnosa of their edge and their
absence of finish. His style as a
writer of prosq was lacking in repose
but armed with points like tha
bristles of a hedge hog. Ho
was a vigorous roasouor but ono
who spurned system and refused
to bo bound by ordinary trammels.
Never hesitating to sacrifice unity to
richness of detail , his essays are like
bundles of loose ideas tacked together
by a common title , but pervaded by
the earnestness of a man conscious of
tiis mission and anxious to place it
with electric directness before the
world. If the test of eloquence is its
power to persuade , Emerson was truly
eloquent. His obscurity , of which
thcro was so much complaint , was the
obscurity of concentration , not of dif-
[ usoncss.
"In reviewing Mr. Emerson
03 a literary artist , " wrote
ono of his pupils , some
some years ago , "tho reader will com-
ilnin of this tantalizing fragmontari-
1083 , this disregard of all the unities ,
this structural defect. Even in his
looms his genius is like an aoaloan
larp that now gives , now wilfuljy
withholds its music , while some of his
essays seem merely accidental collec
tions of loose leaves from a note
souk. " Yet , as ono makes this criti
cism , ho is shamed into silence by re
membering many n passage of prose
and verse so majestic in thought and
rhythm of quality so rare , and utter
ance so delicious as to form a perma
nent addition to the highest literature
of the human raco.

Mr. Emerson cornea of n clerical
family. Seven of hU ancestors in suc
cessive generations , cither on tha pa
ternal or maternal side , were clergy
men. Ho was born in Boston , his
father buing pastor of the First church
in that city , und ho was educated at
the famous Latin school and Harvard
college , graduating at the latter in
1821 , undeserving as poet on class-
day. Ho was noted in college rather
for hia use of the library and for his
wide acquaintance with general
literature than for any special pro
ficiency in hin studies. Ho quahded
as a minister in 182C , having
taught school in the intervening five
years , but on account of his health ho
did not at once enter upon clerical du
ties. In March , 1620 , liu was ordain
ed as colleague of the Rev. Henry
Ware , paator of the Second Unitarian
church , but his ministry was brief. In
1832 ho retired from the pulpit on ac
count of differences of opinion be
tween himself and the church in rela
tion to the Lord's supper. After
spending a year in Europe ho return
ed to Boston , and in the winter of
1833 t began his long and illustrious
career as a losturor. In 1834 ho de
livered , in Boston , a course oi
biographical lectures on Michael An-
Kolo , Milton , Luther , George
Fox and Edmund Burke , the first two
afterward appearing in The North
American Boviow. In the same year
ho read a poem before the Phi Beta
Kappa society. In successive yaars
ho delivered courses of ton lecture ?
on English literature , twelve on the
philosophy of history , ten on human
culture , ten on human life , ton on the
present ago , and seven on the times ,
and in moro recent yean ho has deliv
ered several courses of lectures.
His philosophy , if the word doesn't
contain too much of the idea
of a logical system to bo ap
propriate , was promulgated in a smal |
volume entitled "Nature , " published
in 1836. "Iho American Scholar , "
an oration before the Phi Beta Kappa
society in 1837 , an address to the
senior claas of the Cambridge divinity
school in 1838 , and "Tho Method of
Nature , " 1841 Ho wrote foi The
Dial during the four years of is ex
istence , and was its editor during the
last two. His first volume of poems ap
peared in 1810 , In 1814 ho gave sev
eral lectures in England , in 1840 col
lected , under thu title of "Miscella
nies , " a number of his lectures and
addresses , and , in 1850 , published his
"Essays on Representative Men , "
followed two years later by some con
tributions to the "Memoirs of Mar
garet Fuller Ossoli. " "English Traits"
appeared in 1850 , "Tho ' Conduct of
Life" in 1800 , "May 'Day , and Other
Pieces , " a collection of poems , in 1807 ,
and "Society and Solitude" in 1870.
Uesides all these writings , ho often
contributed to the Atlantic Monthly
his articles , in which have been col
lected and delivered addresses oi\
slavery , the rights of women , and
other topics.

OTHER LANDS THAN OURS.
Mr. Gladstone again calls checkmate -
mate to the Tory ranks by announc
ing the coming introduction by the
liberal ministry of a bill regarding ar
rears of rent in Ireland. Ono of the
gravest obstacles to the efficient oper
ation of the land law has been the
proviso that all arrearages of rent
must bo paid by the tenant farmer before
fore making application for a reduc
tion of rent through the land commis
sion. This has debarred hundreds of
farmers and tenants of small holdings
from taking advantage of the law.
Mr. Gladstone n.iw proposes on behalf
of the government to relieve the ten
ants of all unpaid rents , and make the
sum of money a free gift nnd not a
loan as proposed by the conservative
party , To do this ho intends to re
imburse the landlords for their losses ,
drawing upon the Irish church fund
for the necessary monies. This is a
stop in the right direction toward se
curing absolute peasant proptictry ,
which must come sooner or later.
Ultimately parliamentary legislation
must bo forthcoming which will pro
vide for the purchase of all lauds by
the government from the landlords
and their distribution among the pee
ple. Then , vrith the granting of homo
rule , the opening of Ireland to those
manufactures of which slip has been
so cruelly deprived and the lifting
from her neck of a yoke which nn
country but Ireland could have borne
for so long , the country will enter
upon an era of prosperity for which
she so long waited.
In presenting the budget for 1882
in the house of commons Mr. Glad
stone was forced to admit that owing
to certain items of increased expen
ditures chiefly in Ireland , the re
port was not as satisfactory as ho had
anticipated. Had it not boon for
these unforsoon drains upon the treas
ury the budget estimate for the com
ing year would have boon the most
satisfactory since 1857. The heavy
charges growing out of the Taansvaal
and Afghan wars now disappear from
the estimates , relieving the chancel
lor of the Exchequer in the present
year of a burden of 2,250,000 of ex
penditure , but the reduction in the
estimated disbursements as compared
with the actual expenditure of
1881 is only 892,000 , while the esti
mated revenue is 887,000 loss than
the sum actually collected last year.
There is , however , an estimated sur
plus of 305,000 , which is 45,000
less than the surplus of 1881. Mr.
Gladstone is moved by the increasing
difficulty of keeping down the nationr.l
expenditure TO compare the financial
policy of Great Britain with that of
the Uuitod States in a manner ex
tremely flattering to us , but he has
evidently overlooked the fact that the
most pressing demand of the tax pay
ers of this country is not for a moro
rapid payment of the debt and a rigid
economy in expenditure , but for a re
mission of taxation , a stop which can
ba taken horo'much moro easily than
iu the United Kingdom.
The census of Canada , just laid be
fore parliament , gives the curioua in
formation that there are in the do
minion 109,435 widows and 50,896
widowers. Pathos and jesting alike
can borrow material from these fig
ures. In the total population of
about 4,250,000 , the men outnumber
the women by about 53,000. The sta
tistics of religion given by the census
are also somewhat interesting. The
Roman Catholics lead numerically
with 1,791,982 members. The Pres
byterians repot t 070,105 members , of
whom about 13,000 are classed as Bo-
formed Presbyterians and 33,000 as
Scottish Presbyterians. But the Pres
byterians , uro outnumbered by the
Methodists , who have 748,107 persons
in their pariihos. The Church of
England is fourth on the list , so far as
numbers are concerned , with 674,8H
members. The Romanists thus come
short of equaling the combined
strength f the three communions
just mentioned by only ] about one-
tenth. The Baptists report rather
moro than 300,000 in their com
munion , uid the Gongrogationalists
27,000. Nearly 3,000 are catalogued
as having no religion. The religious
preference was not given in 87,000
instances. The tables of nativity ahow
that the Chinese have overrun the do
minion by the presence of 4,000 or
more representatives of that race * . The
French nationality is most largely
represented , there being well-nigh
1,300,000 persons of that origin. * Thb
Irish are next , with an aggrotrato of
nearly 1,000,000 , while the English
bavo about 100,000 loss than the Irish
and the Scotch have nearly 700,000
credited to them A quarter of a mil
lion of Germanic origin are included
in the table. A little moro than 20 ,
000 Africans were found in the Do
minion. In moro than 40,000 coses ,
the census report states , the national
ity wa not given to the enumerators ,
and they also failed to ascertain the
birthplace of citizens in moro than
0,000 instances.
Contrary to the tory predictions ,
the liberal policy has not yet occa
sioned the loss to Great Britain of her
African colonies , There now seonm
to bo good ground to suppose that it
will have the effect of increasing the
respect of the colonists and of the na
tives for British riilo. The Capo gov
ernment decided to change its tactics
towards the B&sutos. The disarm
mont bill , with which the name of Sir
Bartlo Froro is to disagrcably associa
ted , is to be repealed , loyal Basutos
are to bo compensated , and other
efforts of a conciliatory nature are io
bo made. The secretary for native
affairs , in an address before the colonial
nial legislature in introducing th
measure , was so hopeful vrith respect
to the future that it is diflicult to believe -
lievo that such an agreeable state of
things could bo so soon broughtabout.
The aim of the Gladstone ministry
from the start has been to prove , in
South Africa at least , that there is
truth in the oft-repeated aphorism that
"forco is no remedy. " It begun by
according justice to the Boers , now it
is dealing with the Banutos , and there
is reason to expect that it will pres
ently bo marked by the restoration of
Cotuwayo to his kingdom and people.
An important shipping case was re
cently brought before the chief justice
of Singapore , by the master andngonts
of Ilolt's ocean line of steamers.
Some thirty-three cases of goods wore
shipped in Hong Kong , on board the
steamer Achilles , on the 10th ult. , for
Singapore , represented by the shipper ,
A. M. Essabhoy , as twenty packages
of tea and thirteen packages of china-
ware. On opening the hatches to dis
charge cargo , one of those packages
was found to bo smoking , and the con
tents proved to bo mutches. On ex
amination of the whole of the pack
ages , fifteen of them were found to
contain matches. The representative of
the shipper thcro claimed the goods un
der a bill of lading , but finding how
matters stood , ho afterwards repu
diated the goods and reclaimed his
bill of lading. The court directed
the conOscAtion and sale of the cases
to pay tho'cost of the application , the
balance to bo held by the agents pend
ing further order of the court. The
matches were , it appears , a clover
Japanese imitation of the Danish and
Swedish matches usually sold in the
market , but proved very combustible.
Bcilieving these packages to bo cor
rectly described as harmless tea and
chinawarc , they were stowed in the
hold with Chinese matting and other
easily infltmmablo matter ; and as the
Achilies , besides her officers and crew
and European passengers , had some
six hundred Chinese on board during
the voyage from Hong Kong , the
danger incurred of loss of life and
properly by this false declaration of
contents was very great , and cannot
be too severely condemned.
Austria hos resolved that there shall
bo no persecution of the Jews within
her domain. The barbarities which
have been dignified in Germany and
Russia by the name of an anti-Semitic
movement , seemed about to break
out in Austria , but Count Taafo , the
imperial prime minister , has issued
stringent orders against the Jew bait
ers , and warning them at the punish
ments thty will lay themselves sub-
to if they make any riotous demon
strations. Russia could restrain her
fanatics by equally determined action
on the part of the government , but it
seems to prefer to drive the Hebrews
into expatriation.
During the second empire the mu
nicipality of Marseilles presented an
imperial chateau to the emperor , Na
poleon III. Now that 'the second
empire is overthrown and the em
press in exile , the mayor of Mar
seilles has begun suit against her in
the name of the city to recover the
chateau , which , as ho claims , belongs
to the town.
The emigration from Ireland was
loss by 17,138 in 1881 than in 1880.
The total number of emigrants , na
tives of Ireland , who loft the Irish
ports from May 1 , 1851 , to December
31 , 1881 , was 2,715,604 ; 1,446,582
being malys and 1,269,022 females.
From 1853 to 1855 the number aver-
Bg54-l48$85 annually ; from 1856 to
1866 the arerage number was 88,272 ,
and between 1866 to 1876 the avoraga
was 84,007. The highest total was
reached in 1852 , with 190,322 , , and
the lowest number 37,587 in 1876.
The nnmbers of the last few years
IIOTO been 38,503 in 1877 , 41,124 in
1878 , 47,005 in 1879 , 95,577 in 1880
and 78,719 in 1881. Of those who
emigrated last year , 78,4 per cent
went to the United States and 10,623
to Great BriUin. About 64 per cent
of the total were classed as laborers ,
and only 0 per cent as farmers.
The undertakers in Europe do not
exhibit their wares , as is the custom
In the United States. Coffins are
made by them to order , when wanted.
It is only in largo cities that any stock
is kept , and is placed out of sight. A
few years ago an enterprising under
taker iu Basle , Switzerland , started
business in the American style , and
put a couple of small coffins in his
window. Crowds gathered to stare at
the unwonted sight , and before the
end of the week the police notified
the owner that "tho unseemly exhibi
tion" must cease.
