THE POLICE

IT seems to be accepted as a tolerably settled arrangement that the sum which had accumulated in the Colonial Treasury from the proceeds of the first year's gambling licenses is to be applied to the renovation, or reorganization, of our police force. Unfortunately for the public, measures of this nature are conducted. with such secrecy that until all arrange ments are completed, none except the inmates of the Colonial public offices are likely to hear anything of the matter. The entire Colony may be startled some fine morning by truding Sikhs clothed in peagreen unmentionables and yellow Eurbans, or by the appointment of ene petent officers, or by any other freak of the executive power, without knowing beforehand what is to occur. Sharing

with the public the ignorance which

prevails as to the maimer in which the proceeds of fan-tan are to be applied to putting jantan down (excepting the eres - tion of a few new police stations), we may legitimately consider what the Colony Wally wants in the way of police reforma tion. The public are by

no menus bick ward in expressing their opinions in the most stnightforward terms; and if the au thorities are in any doubt as to the preciso direction of those opinions, we are happy to be the medium of stating then in the 1oost explicit laagunge at our command.

What the public of the Colony do not want is, a police force which combines a

28 pkgs and 187 pela, Sapan Wood. large proportion of misdirented Europeau energy with Asiatic stupidity. The British portion of the force, though natu rally superior to their dark skinned com- panions, consist in large part of a class of men who would not obtain admittance into a police force at home. Time after time have offences been proved against individuals which have necessitated their dismissal, and clearly demonstrated the excessive need of getting a higher class of men to deal with a race so given to bribery and corruption as the Chinese. Tu manner they are, as a rule, insolent to the unknown stranger, and even in the presence of Magistrates and Judges com port themselves with a swaggering a samption of position which reflects extare discredit on their discipline. More than that, there exist at this ment nuisances of varions kinds at which the general public openly assert they wink i consideration of bribes received At the recent fires their conduct 88.6 body was disgraceful, while by no chance is one ever to be found when wanted, They possess (except hi a few rat
