u A Friend to Good Guardianship" writes
us that the pay of Watchmen ougs, to be KEEP, at
the highest rate in order tha, burgares and other
crimes shall be edectually preyented--at the same
time virtually admitting that they arc quite
abundant under the higher under the lower com
pensation. The fact thvs upsets the argument.


The argument that better class of men wosd
be obtained al. sl,25 than : is also at variance
with facts. Since Loco-f ocoism began the game
of removing and appointing Wstchmen for their
Politics, 1t is pretty certain TO be played out
to the end and the inevitable result must gen
orally be that not the most worthy but the most
needy, or the best eleciioueercrs, will generally
be preferred. This Is truth but there seems no
help for it now. Of course, nV authorities will
ever appoint any Wa;chmen but such as they
believe to te honest and capable, Vet we believe
the introduction of party polite. into thi. part
ment circumstance to be greatly deplored On
their heads be il who originated the mischief


As 10 Watchmen supporting themselves iIom
the proceeds of three or four nights service per
week, that is not to be expected.
