(adneoln: Speech - at New Haven, Conn., March 6, v 4 1860.) . 4 4444 4444444 - A WISE CHIEF. No doubt the chief of police of The Dalles swelled up with great pride V When he read Monday evening's paper of that illy, which patted him on the .''.back for his oratorical ability In the way he tongue-lushed a brute who was taking a young child from saloon to saloon anil other dens of Iniquity. The urtich; Is appended herewith, and ttie .statement made that the "Chief could not arrest the man on uny charge" Is simply because the chief was too blind to recognize his rights. There Is not only law against fn ticnt!ng "sporting houses," but the woman who took off the wraps from the baby was also amenable to the law for keeping such a resort. The citi zens ot The Dalles will wake up to 1helr duty some of these days, and will vote the saloon out of their elly (md will elect a chief of police w ho '. knows what hi rights niid duties are.

" Mel.stedt, wife and child are room ing at an Bast Second street lodging house, having come here last fall from Oklahoma. The cause of the Indignation on the part of the chief of police was n re port that came to him that a man car rying a baby was going from mi Ion to saloon, and wag later seen enterlnf H sporting house. The police officii,, followed Melstedt, and found the baby playing on the floor while Its father was In another room with one of the inmates of the place. The woman had removed the Infant's wraps and placed articles on the floor for it to play with. Chief of Police Harper .could not arrest the man on any charge but tie talked to him in such scathing terms that 'Melsfdt begged the chief to take him to the river and drown him.
