Crime and Police Failure

By Editor

The frequency of burglaries, murders, and other crimes in this city and Brooklyn, and the inability or unwillingness of the police to cope with the evil, begin to excite very grave apprehensions in the minds of the calmest and most prudent men. It is even hinted that a reign of terror may be instituted under the banner of self-defense, and a bloody war waged against the well-known roughs who infest the city. We deprecate such suggestions, but a remedy must soon be found for the fearful evils.
