A JiKilfloiia Metropolitan Pollen Bill Aht great reform, sot to be abortive, should be ooasidered with great circumspection, anil ! li . . the effeoU or any onange it may nuo ue well weighed. It mast be remembered that ire oat loose from the old anchorage, and hare to see where we will drift, before taking that Step. We believe, and have believed for years, that the existing system of police appoint ment In Philadelphia was radically defective. The polioeman held office on a tenure so light that the best qualified class of men were loth to aooept an appointment. If they didi they lost their present means of jlivelihood, and adopted another which might at aay t binge of party politics be withdrawn from them. This is the great error in the present system, whioh all reforms should tend to remedy. Any bill which would succeed the present one should, above all 'else, make the offioe of policeman stable and dependent on merit. The numerous advantages whioh grow oat of suoh a change are at once apparent. Better ffioers are secured, personal merit and not polltloal service have more to do with the ohoioe, the men take a pride in their places and perform faithfully their labors, they avoid all oollasion with the ruffians whom it is their duty to repress, for they know that, as they hold only during good behavior, no j partisan favoritism can proteot them j from removal for eause. Other ad vantages would also tlow from the change whioh need not be repeated by us. Hat to do this the change must be a change of tenure of offioe, not a change of the power of appoint ment. We must look higher than the pre sent, and seek to raise the morals of the olli oera, not to alter their politics. The reason why we support a Metropolitan Police Com mission bill is not because Mayor Pox will be deprived of his appointments, but because the present is a good tiaie to effect a reform whioh is needed whether ' Mayor Fox or Mayor Tyndale should reign at Fifth and Cuesuut streets. In this light let ns look at the bill a? Intro duced into the Senate, and see if it is such a One as will cure the present defects. It pro rides that five Republican gentlemen all men of good stan ling and unquestioned worth Shall constitute a commission from now until next October, and that at that time the people of five distriots, named in the bill, shall elect five commissioners to sucoeed the gentle men named. Does this make the office more stable f Does it do away with any of its poHtioal aspects f . We answer with out hesitation, no. It would, if any thing, make the policemen more of politicians than ever before, after next October. We do not doubt that the five gentlemen named would make good appointments, but their officers are but for nine months; after that the lowest olass of politicians would come into play, and cause a degeneracy Instead of an elevation in the policemen. Men through a little personal favoritism would be nominated in each district, and the friends of reform would be compelled either to suppott the nominations or else put Democrats into power, and run the risk of having the Fourth ward gang for guardians of the publio peaoe; for bo it remembered that it would not be tae most respectable of the Democracy that would court the ofice of Commissioner. Such men as Mr. Fox or Colonel Page would give way to Aldermen Riddle or MoMullln. The result would be that seven devils would re turn to the house which ho had attempted to sweep and garnish. We therefore think that the proposed bill is worse than the present state of affairs, and is in no respect such a one as we need in Philadelphia. In a jndioious law the eschewing of politics in the Beleotion of the Commissioners, or, more correotly, the exolusion of politicians, should be tha aim. It should be a combination of looted and appointed officers, which would both represent and restrain popular senti ment. This would be accomplished by making the Board consist of the Mayor of the city for President this id a compliment dae the Executive, and a right due the people who elected him the Jadges of eur Court of Com mon Pleas, and either the Presidents of Coun cils or two gentlemen elected by Councils for this special purpose. By this means we would, to a great extent, get free from many toils of politics, and tend to cure the vils under whioh we here labor. We hope a substitute for the present bill will be offered by some Senator, and by so doing he will de serve the shanks of our people. We feel sure that Senator Ilenazey, who moved the present bill, wHl join as heartily as any one else in tha oorreotion of the enors it contains, lie is the father of the idea, but it needs certain modifications whioh he will not oppose. A Pension for Mm. Lincoln. A pttor-OMTioN to give Mrs. Llnooln a pension has been introduced in Congress, and $3000 per annum has been named as a proper mount. Mrs. Llnooln has never been popu lar, but whether she deserves her unpopu larity or not, the fact that she is the widow of Abraham Llnooln should always be borne lu mind by the Amerioan people, and ehe should reoeive tha consideration to which that fact entitles her. No more fitting recognition of the tutba'a olKgaUocs U iir. Lincoln aoutl le made than by allowing hts wife suoh a pen sion as would oertainly plaoe her and her family not only beyond the reach of want, bat in oomfortable olronmstances. Tha proposi tion to give Mrs. Llnooln a suitable pension ought to pass both faonsea of Congress withoat opposition. ! The Age this morning asks, "Why not extend like relief to the widow of President Polk f" If Mrs. Polk is in want she should reoeive relief, but there is no necessity of giving her a pension merely as a compliment. James K. Polk never rendered the Mat ser vices to the country that Abraham Llnooln did, and the widow of the martyred President has peculiar claims on the generosity of the the Amerioan people. It is ahtoni8iii.no how many bills can be trumped up against any man or government generous or careless enough to squander money with a lavish hand. We hazard llttte in the statement tbat plausible reasons could readily be advanced at Washington by inte rested parties, in and out of Congress, for the expenditnre in this country of the resources of all the nations of the earth. Every day de velops new claimants and new classes of claimants, to Government bounty. If the in evitable necessity did not exist that somebody somewhere must finally work hard and fare poorly to secure the payment of the debts whioh wot Id be contracted by these proposed expenditures, it would be a glorious thiog for Congress to dispose of the whole matter at or.ce by making a donation of a million of dollars to every Amerioan citizen, ''without distinction of color or previous condition." As "equal and exact justice" of this description, however, would obviously defeat its avowed ob ject, the next best thing to a perfectly eqnita" He division of Government bounty is the re solute enforcement of a policy of retrenchment and the Btern refusal to donate a single mill without the sure return of equal value in in dispensable services. Sinoe we cannot all be enriched by legislation, let us be careful that none are impoverished or unnecessarily taxed by it. A hill has been introduced in the State Legislature providing for the appraisement of plank roads in Philadelphia and their relin quishment to the city. We are not familiar with the details of this injure, and, for aught we know, it may coutain some objec tionable clauses, but tbe principle on whioh it is founded is undoubtedly correct. It is a reproach to Philadelphia that travel on nearly all the passable roads leading to the suburbs and to adjacent counties is subject to continual taxation. Toll-gates innumerable loom up to levy tribute upon travellers, aud while eaoh exaotion may iu itself be trivial, their con stant recurrence is vexations as well as bur densome. Boston long ago perfected a system by which toll-gates were abolished at all points within ten miles of tbat city; and the residents of the surrouudiug regions always approach her limits with a feuliugof thankful ness for her liberality. Ilere we impose clogs npon intercourse in a spirit of unwise parsi mony and neglect. It is the duty of the city to maintain good roads wherever they are needed within her eonlinefl, and it is a small business to suffer chartered companies to assume this duty, aud to tax the public iu their own way.
