are Interested in Its bel?g made as nearly per

can I??? carried mi upon a plane entirely above
party ami faction. Appeal- in partisanship and
prejudii ??. to factional animosities and personal
feeling, ate Inevitable in siwh discussions, hut
they should n ol I?.? permitted tu Influence action
or control Ihe result.
It i- not unlikely that ihe occasion may 1"?
seised by scheming politicians and ambitions
leaders ss an opportunity for Initiating sosas
Ingenious and far-reaching plan for ultimata
partisan or factional advantage or personal Sg
grandlxement. it would hardly be reasonable,
Indeed, to expeci It to he otherwise. The police
machinery of this great city contains such enor
mous possibilities for political uses that ii would
l?e Idi?? |o eg].? ihe men who live by politics
and upon parties to k?>ep their hands away from
it so long as a chance Is open t<> them to gain
control of it by any device of subtlety or in?
trigue, liood citizens of all parties have a com
mon Interest in defeating th?? purposes of such
schemers, whatever may he Unir party nftllia
liolis. We b"li<ve we >;'ive expression to the
universal desire of this class the overwhelming
majority when we say that th?? objective point
of l?gislation OU this subject should he tu put
the police system, its administration ami all its
machinery <>ui <?f the reach <?f any party or fac?
tion and maki? It what it should hi? the impar?
tial and effective light arm of Insti????, the pro?
tector and Kiiardinn "f life ind property, the
energetic pursuer of criminals and the relentless
foe of crime.
That Is what the people Want, and they want
nothing short of that. They do not want a I.??
publican Legislature to consider at all the ne
reasitles or supposed necessities of the Repub?
lican party, or any faction of It, In this town
in reorganising the police, if the question tarera
put to the Republican voters of tin? city today
whether, If their choice were given them, they
would have a police system absolutely under
Republican control or a system absolutely di?
vorced from politics nine tenths of them would
say: '?\? want neither a Itepuhlican police nor
"a Tammany postee, bui a police free from the
"control or th?? Intermeddling of either party."
That Is the sp?rit In which we believe Hie cur?
rent discussion .should be conducted. Poli?
ticians are quick to suspect ulterior motives, and
attribute paitlaan pggpogga t<? tims?? who iiirTer
with them on questions of this character. It
WOUld not lie strange If in the present discussion
there should lie more or h-ss small poll ? Ics with
Chargea and counter-charges, crimination ami
recrimination. We may deprecali? lt. but i-aniiot
prevent it. The ihing for the Legislature to
ari before itself ami keep constantly in mind
Is that what the people of this city want Is an
honest, fllbiint pottos system, absolulcly Inde
liemlent of politic?, parties ?ml factions. Noth?
ing, less will content them Whether It Is single
headed or quadruple-headed docs not matter, mo
long as it is that The discussici should be
thorough and exhaustive, but always wiih ihat
as the end in view.
? OOOD ?tLUBTMATIOX.
The departure for Itarope of Mrs. Thurow,
? upon whose testimony eight members of th??
police force were inillcted. is g.dicrdll.v expected
to prevent their conviction. Thai is i?> say. (be
guilty connivance or gross neglect of official?

ness within reach will probably insure a defeat
of Justice in cases of great Importance. In be
j half of the ?iiith ?rules whose business II waa
j to guard her it la said that there was no reason
! to think she would disappear. This la 1 shabby
? and impudent excuse. Nobody now hesitates to
declare thai her den? rture is of the utmost value
to the Indicted men? which is precisely equiv?
alent to .1 confession that she ??tight to bare
been closely watched, inasmuch as ber ab?
?enee was presomsbly the* only advantage ibey
required, it is obvious thai her presence waa the
on?? tiling which the authorities should bate

but her past course of life gav ample warrant
for tiie assumption thai she might readily be
induciti to Recep? a sum proportionate to th??
servi???? which she li.iti it in her power t" ren?

No elaborate argument ?s needed lo show thai
tin? fall in manufactured producta ?lining the
panic year was mainly due to the well founded
expectation of ihe great d?clin.? which Ihe
change of tariff would produce. Thla i- erldenl
because ih?? decline in breadstuffa, meats and
ilniry and garden product? was so In-lgniil, ;in;
Hut after expeidations ,,f a change <?f tariff li.ni
closed thouaanda of mlus and factories and
mines, and bud reduced the wages of mOJIoua
of workers, then ihe effect? as to prices of faun
producta wer? far more severe than during the
year of panic. At the same time ihe further
decline In prices <>f manufactured products,
which had been anticipated, actually came, an??
liiere has heel as vei no recovery of consequence
in any department.
Taking the farm products by themselves, the
fall from November. tflSS, to October l?o. LS?I4.
was a little over 0 per cent of their price In
18R2, of which only 1.1 was In the panic year
j and the rest in the year of tariff tinkering.
Next taking the other products, mainly manu
j facturad and materials, by themselves. It is
1 found that the total decline in two years was
J 12.12 per cent of their price In 1808, of which
' 4..? was in Ihe panic year and 8.1 per cent In
\ the year of tariff tinkering. Wheat on the one
hand declined lese than ? per cent In the year
of panic, but about 20 per cent since. Cotton
declined only V., per cent In the year of panic,
but .".?? per cent since. Wool on the other hand
declined 30 per ?eut in the year of panic, the
price anticipating free wool quite fully a year
ago, but has decline?! nearly i> per cent since.
In short, th?? panic was Itself largely tin? effect
of the threat and anticipation that the manu?
factures would be prostrated and wages re?
duced as they since have been, by Democratic
agitation ami change of tariff.

London. November lg.
"His one most striking characteristic." writs?
a friend who knew Mr. John Walter Intimately
"was his absolut* rectitude. It was no rule of
life with him. but something that was aa aa.
grained In his nature as the necesaity of breath?
in?."
When you consider that this was true of a ?m,
who all his life long had the absolute control
of a great paper. It becomes stli: more atriklng
He was, of course, beset by the usual temp tai
tions of journalism. The possession of absolut?
power, whether in Journalism or otherwise, b?
gets in most men the temptation to use it. ft ?.
one thing to use It for Its own sake or for th?
pleasure of using It: ano.her to use it for th?
gratification of ambitious desires, or In any km
ish way. That was not Mr. Walter's way.
"I do not think." continues his friend, "that ha
ever asked himseli what is right an.l what I?
wrong, any more than we ask ourselves ?hlca
foot we MhalI put forward first when we ?UrttSr
a walk." That 1? an estimate or character w&Jej
; would hive delighted Emerson It was ??*
? Emerson's view that b< auty of nature i.? a tat*.
| adusinole thing than that virtue which conn
, from effort. It is better for a man to be hlg>
?elf than to conquer himself; provided that thi
! love of virtue, or of truth, or of the spirito?!
| life, or of charity toward others, be natural to
, him. Effort Implies a struggle with the natural
. man. and Is necessary only when he goes nits.
j rally wrong, and not right.
"Some people." he goes on, "?how a contempt
j for meanness. He never did. for he seemed never
I to ?ee It. That ^ man should act from ? ?^
j motive seemed never to occur to him. and when
j h? came across such a man. he called him a
l 'victim of Immeasurable folly,' or described him4?
insane." The eulogy Is so sweeping that again
! one has to remember that it is bestowed
I on a man who had to faca the facts of dally lift
? all his life long; v.hose Intercoorae w.th others
? was constant and active; and who was concerned
j with the practical realities of a profession which
; more than any other perhaps is th night to fnjter
' cynical views of men ami things. Me must have
| hep?! brought oft?n In contact with people vho
| war.ted to use him and nls pap?r. He had to re?
; pel such attempts. So fre?juent are they on every
, great Journal, and I suppose on "The Times"
| most of all. that he who is exposH to them may
; be excused if euch experiences lower hi* estim?t?
I of human nature. If, en thn other hand, they do
not lower It, how high must be his ideal and how
? firm his faith!
Th.? fot tune? of the Walter family were, of
course, bound up with "The Times," yet hi? atti?
? lude t" the paper was never that of a man who
regarded It merely as a s.mr e of income He
never even thought of it as a money?making
machine, primarily. His main interest In the
paper was ?? a different kind. In the world of
business, and especially in Annerii a, erbate busi?
ness Mila a larger par; of life than anywhere el??
'< in the worlc' sich statements may provoke seep
; tldsm. I have nothing to say to the s'eptlc?.
They must take their own Viens. All I can ?ay
i?? that I know what I am telling you to be true.
It was said of him in the office that he was never
known to make ai Inquiry as to financial restila.
Ill? dividends wre paid Into his bankers. Be
knew, of course, what they were and whether
they were above <>r b?Mo.v the average. But he
was never known to express the least sat.sfectlOB
over a good year, or the least disappointment
when the yield wax less than usual. II h? ?howed
an Interest in details, it would be as a recognition
of the energy of those about him, th? ugh. a? yoa
will s?e presently. It was not his way to praise
freely, or hardly to praise at all. He might tee
signs of prosperity?for instance a great number
of columns of advertising; or a whole page ad?
vertisement. If he commented on It he did It
out of kindliness. The price he never asked.
Everybody who knows anything about London
Journalism knows that of recent years there hav?
been very sweeping changes and reforms In th?
administration of the paper. At the eni of the
first year of this new administration, an elaborate
c Imperativs table was drawn up, showing laif?
economies and other agreeable results which he
might have been expected to study clo.-ely. He
ginn? ed at lt. aald. "Yes, very creditable." handed
It buk and began talking of something e!*?e.
The staff might be suppose.l to th'.nk they got
?.?ant recognition, but they knew the contrary.
If they missed the direct commendation which
men who have done their best sometimes like
and occasionally get, they were perfectly aware
what he thought. The men who earn?? I his con?
fidence knew they had earned It. To him preise
was unnei'essary. He eras ready ? believe that
every man did his liest. He gave others credit
for the ajtottyej which actuated himself. H??
expected BO praise; he hardly felt that other?
might aspect It. or like it. The doing one'?
whole duty was. In Ms mini, a mattet of sb?
solate "I'llgati.'ti, and of general eustorn. Why
should It be nientloneu'.' IVrhaps there are
reasons for mentioning I* hut they are fewer
when, with a man like Mr. \Y;?ltcr. the thing M
understood without words III? attitude wa?, at
any rate, sufficient to win him the absolu:? devo?
tion of those who worked with him on the paper.
The devotion extended ta all departments, me?
chanical as well as editorial. The compositor?
were devoted to him. and the pressmen; the very
lasses of workingmon whom the trade union?
represent as victims of .? huge tyranny, nut th?
the whole printing trade knew that printers wer?
better off In this than in any other office In t"?
country?
Of Mr. Walter's extreme simp'lclty of chsr?'1
ter. I believe I said something in a former letter.
It did not prevent him from living wi'h rsasUBBr
cence. Hearwooil, which he built, used to b*
called the second place in point of splendor in
Ilerkshire; Windsor Castle being the tlrst. That,
of itself, would ha\e given him important*, ????
In England, to be the possessor of a (real heue?
and estate In the country, is to be a ? insiderable
piTsonagc. A great fortune In the City, SC is
business of any kind cot fers no similar distinc?
tion. Vet Mr. Walter never could understand
why. either as owner ?if Hearwood. or as owner
of "The Times," or as both, he should SS an
object of Interest to the public, of arhy a"?*'"
body should want t,. know more ,,f his uplShSJS
than they COttld collect from the ? "lunms at hi*
paper. He was amused by the fu??* p. op''* n,a
about his influence. That any on?' should try
to Interview him struck him as comical, though
he never let It appear In that light t<> the would
be Interviewer, who probably went away with
the feeling that he had been dismissed un?a?1?*
fled by a very dignified old gentleman. The very
dignified old gentleman waa meantime, dle
? ourslng to hla friends <<t> the absurdity of inter?
viewing "every Tom. Dick, or Hairy." ITobably
he did tot like interviewing as a practice. It
belongs to the New Journalism; to which he
steadfastly preferred the old. There are others
still of his mind.
Americans who have a great regard It* th*
Queen?all Americans, that is?may be surprised
to hear that one of .Mr. Walter's unsatisfled am
