NEW YORK PLoTs.-This useful class of men have
sent In petition to the Legislature praying for
raj alterations in the present pilot laws We see no
reason why they should not be granted-provided
the changes act prospectivey and not reros2ectvey
1t is the wish of the old pilots who number over
one hundred men. to have the old system brought
again into existence. They wish to have the CON-
mssioners, who are now chosen by the Governor
and Senate, selected from their own body and from
the Oldest shipmasters in port, by the Chamber of
Commerce. OF the five commissioners the pilots
ask to have only two sent into the board by Them
which places them in the minority. They also pc
ttion for extension OF the term of apprentice ship
from three to five years-to have branches instead
oflicences-whch theya are compelled to get renew
edevery year and to have many deputies pilots
This is certainly fair enough and indeed it would
be unjust not to grant the petition We like it, but
do not desire to have it act retrospectively. 1t
would notbe right to have any alteration made to az
feet those young men who havefathfuy served three
years apprenticeship with the expectation of becom
ing photo -~hen their torn expired We understand
that there are now several of these young pilots who
have within the last year, reached their maossy but
who have not yet been able to obtain an examna-
ten. This is not fair, and we hope that the older
pilots will compel the present commissioners to ex
anime them at once and give them their licences
What is for one should be for another.
Apart from this, however, we recommend the
members fthe legislature to take the petition into
consideration and grant all that it seeks Immediate
