"WEDNESDAY DECEMBER IB, 1891.
Thk Democrats of the United States are
etlll mtl-Clevelahd.
THE Democratic Administration can
float bond issues, but It can't stop the out
flow of gold.
T1II3 prlzollghters seem anxious to put a
a stop to their brutal business by killing
one nnothor off. Well, their plan has Its
merit?.
It is not entirely clear whether Secre
tary Carlisle's pet income-tax scheme Is
primarily a contrivance to discourage
thrift or an Invention to foster perjury.
SKCltUTAllv CAKLISI.K is determined to
Jaave his bill go through, nntl so he is go
Ing to rush it along under gng law. That
Is one way of showing the couutry what
it wants.
Tub report of the commission on the
Armenian atrocities is not expected be
fore next spring. Promptness would be
the death of all who live and move and
liave their being in red tape.
It is decided by a court of South Caro-
Una that a militiaman holds his arms by
authority of the United States, and no
Governor can compel him to surrender
them. What progress there has been
down thero since 1801.
The watchman on duty in the sentry.
box which has been set up facing tho
entrance to tho White House must be
having a lonesome time of it. So far
beard from, not a person has attempted
to pass the picket-line since Election
Day.
No citizen deserves more earnest com
mendation just now than the thoughtful,
forbearing man who, while honestly be
llevlug that he knows a sure cure for all
he Ills of the currency system, yet re
strains himself from thrusting his for
inula upon the attention of Congress and
the nubile. Thero are too many doctors
at work on the case already.
As soon as the Democratic statesmen
et accustomed to the chilliness of the at
mosphere in the hall of the House, Messrs
Wilson, Springer and Holmau should get
together and name one of their number to
make a formal report on the causes and
consequences of tho tidal wave of 1S91.
document of that character would be an
Important addition to the mortuary rec
ords of Amerijan politics.
With a bungler liko Voorhees to shape
Its currency measures, tinkurs like Wil
son to botch Its tariff undertakings, and
like Greiham to make its diplomatic
policy a world's laughlug stuck, the Ad
.ministration of Mr. Cleveland seems des
tlned to p.4ss into history as a memorial
to the broad and comprehensive Inconi
petemjy of its supporters. Its record will
probably prove valuable to posterity solely
us a frightful example.
BY Secretary Carlisle's plan it Is in
tended to put out notes of State Banks
no matter whether decently protected or
uot, as If they were substantially the
kind of currency In which the people have
foeeome accustomed during thirty years
of Republican safety. The Democratic
belief Is that the people are stupid enough
to accept such notes without question,
and thus to substitute this heterogeneous
style of paper lor the notaa which are
now protected by the United States. It Is
ueadleoa to speak of the Injury whtcli
would be done to workinginen, and to all
-others who may receive mch notes In
ordinary payment for wage or for pro
Quote. The people have n right to a
"etter currency than the various states,
acting each for itself, will ever provide, i
-ami the Republicans will not be true to
their duty If they do not resist to the tit-,
most every revolutionary step in thedirec-1
tlon of a Democratic currency. It pleases '
Mr. Cleveland to think that he has been
;able to reconstruct the tariff, and before
lie goes out of olllce will be able to recon
struct the national monetary system.
II .lmiiRO of t trill has thrown out of (
employment ninny thousand men, and '
suhji clod olher. to a Kirn'rat rHit..t,icm of
j wanes amounting nl present to ill least
1 10 per cent, for those employed. Nobody
j can tell what the effect of his monetary
J scheme Would bo If it could be pruned,
but It Is hoped tlmt Id the Senate, where
dobnte has not yet been suppressed, there
will be amplelopportuulty toshowoxactly
what Democratic wildcat banking means.
If tho people once get a fair Idea of the
difference between the currency they now
have and have enjoyed for thirty years,
and the currency which the Democrats
propose, tho majority In 1894 will be
eclipsed by the majority In 189(1.
Chairman Wilson thinks that if Con
gress at the present Bhort session does
nothing but pass the appropriation bills
and a few other routine measures it will
justify the charge that the "Democratic
party is Incapable of afllrmatlve and
coherent politics." The country Is pretty
well convinced on the point nlready, but
It is cheering to note that Mr. Wilson at
last recognizes that "an Impotent party
everybody dismisses with ridicule and
contempt." That is exactly thewayithey
dismissed his party In November.
During President Cleveland's first term
the robbery of the malls by petty thieves
in the employment of tho Postal Service
and the various post ofllces reached a mag
nitude previously unknown for over twen
ty years. Under President Harrison they
nenrly ceased. Within the last year they
have been resumed. Itisdifllcult to trace
the exact location of these thefts. Prob
ably the postal officials know more than
tho public are ever allowed to know. In
order to save their Adminlstrotlon from
the charge of inefficiency they take some
course which serves to attract public at
tention as little us possible. However, the
fact remains that It Is dangerous to send
nctual cash in n letter by mall.
DISCIPLINE IN THE KITCHEN.
flow n Guest's Order Is Disposed of lit a
Great lCrstaurnnt.
Tho waiter carries ills ordor to a man
who Is known as tho ' dummy man" and
quietly repents it to 1dm. Tho dummy
takes down on a slip tho number or tho
waiter, tho time tho order was given and
tho ltoms of H. All this is shortbnnd, but
not tho shorthand written by tho giddy
young thing who chows gum and can't
read her notos. Tho dummy man la the

lias its advantages, oven If It docs make
an order look liko n Chinese, laundry

For instance two short horizontal lines
stand for a sirloin stoak. If thero Is n
little clrclo just nbovo tho lines, it means
thnt tho man who gavo tho order Is not
going to call on his llancco and will tako
onions on his steak. If tho clrclo stnmls
at tho end of tho lines, It means ho wants
mushrooms.
When tho waiter has given tho order to
tho dummy man, his work Is toiupornrily
over. It Is tho dummy man who really
starts tho machinery. Itight bohind him
stretch tho groat ranges manned by 20
cooks. Turning to thom, tho dummy man
quietly calls olT tho order In its different
portions. Thero is a cook for each depart
ment or seotlon or tho commissary, so tho
vcgotablo part of tho order is turned over
to tho vegetable cook, tho fish to tho llsli
cook, tho steaks go to tho broiler, wliilo
the game, fowl and roast meats nro dealt
with by tho carver.
When tho orders have boon soparntoly
prepared, they aro turned over to tho chef,
who Inspects them carefully. If thoy pass
muster, tho order goes on to tho dummy
man, who checks it up by his record, gar
nlshos it, puts it on tho steam tablo to keep
hot nnd presses a button. This causes a
drop bearing the waiter's number to fall
in tho dining room nnd Is tho waiter's no-
tlco that his order Is ready.
Pcoplo generally supposo the chef to bo
n busy cool; working at tho rango with
his crew of men. Huch is not tho case. In
tho modern restaurant tho chef's entlro
duties nro tboso of an overseer and disci
plinarlan. Strangonslt may seem, behind
tho scenes It would bo considered n loss
offenso for subordinate cook to send out
n tough lobster or an underdono steak
than to talk. Beyond tho doors tho chef
Is absolute master and holds each man to
Ills work. Tho rosult speaks for itfclf.

Laugh and Llvo Long,
It lias been aptly bald that thero Is uot
tho remotest corner of the inlet of tho
mlnutu blood vessels of tho human body
that doos not feel some wavelet from thu

tho surface, thus umteilally tending to In
sure good health to tho persons who in

Tho blood moves more rapidly and con
veys a different impression to all tho or
gaus of tho body as It visits them on that
particular mystio journey when thu man

1'ollro HcndqunrtnrK, Whtcli Wero Ho
celtod hv tho liiHjirctor.
New YoltK, Dec. 10. Polloo Sergeant
John J. Taylor, of tho steamboat squad,
testified before tho Loxow committee yes
torday that ox-Inspector Honry V. Steers
had systematically exacted moneys from
policemen who were paid for extra work
by steamship and railroad companies,
pthor witnesses sworo that Captains Max
F. fcjchmlttberger, Anthony Allaire and
Georgo Castlln had been guilty of similar
offenses. A futile offort was mado by
counsel lion to elicit from John w. iicp-
penhngen additional facts of Importance.

was paid to Commissioner (now police Jus

Tho day's developments before tho in
vestigation commltteo entangled police
hcadnuarters In the'ne.t of official corrun-
'tlon. Despite tills fact, howuvor, publlo
sentiment Is far from ns turbulent today
os It was on Friday, when Captain Creo-
den's confession sot tho city ngog with ex
citement.
Still, in official circles, tho news of tho
day's exposures lias brought amazement
unbounded. Superintendent Byrnes, when
told of Sergeant Taylor's testimony against
ox-Inpector Steers, manifested great as
tonishment.
'lain amazed, astounded," was his only
comment, nnd no argument could induce
him to pronounce an opinion, inspectors
Williams en 1 Conlln ovlncod similar feel
ings. Serguaut John Harloy, who was
formerly detailed to duty in Inspector
Steers' ollleo, said: "I havo always, and
do now eouslder Inspector Steers a man of
unblemished diameter, nnd I cannot be
llovo that lie over accepted any bribe
moneys."
And so many other olllelals of tho police
department expressed tbomselvos.
Steers was for many years captain or
tho city hall squad. Ho was mado in
spector when Superintendent Murray took
charge of tho department, and retired two
years ago. At that time ho was chief in
spector, in command of tho detective oillco.
His pension of 2,5oD per annum goes with
tho now defunct olllce of inspector. Ho is
n conspicuous and popular member of tho
Washington Heights Methodist church.
Tho sensational evidence against steers
was not brought forward until lato In tho
afternoon, Counsel Goft having paved tho
way with a number of witnesses, who
swore that steamship and railroad com
panies had paid tribute to the police for
guarding their property. Ono after an
other a stream of policemen swore to this
faot, nnd then tho big sensation of tho ses
sion was sprung as n fitting climax to tho
day's proceedings.
Inspector McAvoy, who succeeded htcers
ns iuspoctor, was also Implicated by Tay
lor's testimony that tho money was sent
to headquarters after Steers retirement.
Inspector McLaughlin was not inculpated,
becnuso lie succeeded Steers only as chief
of tho detective bureau, and consequently
did not handle tho collections from tho
bteamboat squad.
Many rumors concerning alleged indict
ments against pollco olllccrs accused be
fore tho Iaixow commltteo aro current
throughout tho olty, but beyond Sergeant
Taylor's testimony tho doveloyments in
connection with police cases yesterday
havo been of no palpahlo Import.
licforo any business was transacted by
tho commltteo tho senators and their coun
sel indulged In a public discussion, tho
upshot of which was a decision that any
action, original or civil, against Captain
Crooden wore barred und Illegal; that tho
testimony and proceedings of tho Loxow
commltteo are privileged, and that Captain
Croeden's reinstatement by tho pollco
board was a cotnmemlalilo proceeding.
At the request of Harry Hill, who some
mouths ago testified that ho had soen Gov
ernor Shepard In a disorderly house In
this city, this testimony was oxpunged
from tho record.
Police Justice Voorhls appeared In tho
chamber anil announced his desire for vin
dication in connection with tho Creeden
