The Guard for the Law.
The peaceful, law-abiding timeß Of Old England, when the mere sig-ht of a police uniform was sufficient to! awe the turbulent, and make th® unrighteous flee, appear to have departed. Foreign anarchists, socialists, and other scraps from the hui man refuse heaps of Europe have found their way to England, and bean made welcome, and they have evfc dently taught the native-horn illlivers some pernicious lessons. l& policeman now, whether he is called to capture burglars or regulate strike ers, may expect to he received with bullets o r brickbats, and in either case risks his life. Regard, for the law without force has beedme ft pidily declining characteristic of the classes wh» elect to act contrary to law, with the result that the uniform has lost its terrors, asid &» baton not feared .—W airarapa Daily Times.
