Our City Police. Our city police, what are thev ? A set of honest men, or a i'aug of rowdies ? This is i great question, that troubles mv mind. and the minds of a great many others. There is not a citizen of Columbus but what knows lt is the place of a policeman to set a good example before the youug men of our city. ijut wnat Kind oi, an exampie uo our present police set before young men ? The true example of a fourth-class rowdy. Last night, at the hour of nine, I went to the Concert Saloon. I found the place ouite crowded. with men of all classes, from members of the "White Legislature" down to the kina of the Columbus boot blacks, "Black Crook." Among the festive crowd ! noticed at least a dozen policemen, eniovlng themselves bv drinking lager beer and smoking ten-penny cigars. Butjwhat surprised me was, to see a certain policeman peddling tickets for the "Free and Easy." When a policeman descends so low as to peddle tickets for such a damnable institution as the Concert Saloon truly is, what vice under the blue heavens Is he not guilty of? I have entered the housu or God night after night for the last two weeks, but 1 never found a policeman there. If a policeman Is wanted he Is nowhere to be found, except you go into some low gambling hellhole, and there you will always find two or three, drinking and helling away the hours of duty. Init Mr. Humbug preach on humbugs ! I believe all he said, and more too.
