GRIEVANCES OF THE SHANGHAI
POLICE.
The Shanghai Police Force has been promin- ently before the public lately, and the daily pa Per have all had their say in the matter, and the editors have ventilated their ideas to their heart's content. They have, however, over looked several matters which concern the men- bers, or at least a portion of the members, of the Force. We think that the Police deserve well of the public and the Press, for it is the system that is defective, and not the men them. a good many griev selves who have ances to put up with, many of which the public know nothing about, for if the men have ever complained to the Municipal Council the latter have never enlightened the public on the subject through the meagre weekly reports of the Council meetings. Notwithstanding this
grievances, some of which are local and others general. The most important of these is of course the wages they receive.. A man joins the Force on Tis. 30 a month, this amount put into dollars does not mean more than $40,

An express decree has forbidden every species of gratuity, and a few more function aries have been consequently deprived of their earnings, such as the fire inspector, the ordnance and material officers, some members of the Board of Taxation, the Colonel in command of the Montefort and several other public officials on extra duty.
