the prisons since 1906

There is no question that under an honest
and efficient management of the prisons they
would be source of positive income to the
State. Under the present system they are the
tools by which the Treasury is annually robbed
in broad daylight of half million dollars.
In his great speech at Albany in 1871 Senator
Conkling thoroughly exposed the shortcom-
ings of Democratic administrations In thh
matter of the prisons. Things have now be-
come worse than they were then, and the new
Legislature has magnificent opportunity to
carry out retrenchment and reform.
And then as to the extravaganza in public
buildings We suppose the taxpayers must
shoulder the cost of the new Capitol, which.
though originally limited to four millions, has
already taken six million dollars from their
pockets and the work is not half done-we
mean That is will take at least another SIX
millions to complete and furnish the edIhce.
The Controller also tells us that nOtwlthstand-
ing an expenditure of $3,5000OO In the last
eight years, mainly for the building OF new
hospitals for the insane, there are still over
t.4OO epileptics and chronic insane in the
county poOrhouses. being almost as many as
the whole number of unfortunates under troat-
ment in the four asylums of the State IL Is
obviously required by the dictates OF human
ity that the Buffalo and POughkeepsie asylums
be completed as speedily as possible, and the
Inebriate Asylum at Binghamton converted
into refuge for the chronic insane, as Mr..
HOPKINS recommends, instead of beng main
tanned as a "boarding g house for not to exceed
eighty incorporate men," most of them hav-
ing ample means to avail themselves OF SINH
lar treatment at private institution.
After reviewing the financial experiences OF
the State of New-York for the period since
the war, we are of opinion that were 1t not
for the stringent anti-debt provisions Of the
Constitution, instead of reporting a rapidly
diminishing debt of only $17,5OOOOO, over and
above the cash and securities in the Sinking
Funds, the Controller would now be asking
for tax to pay the interest on at least sirty
millions Of bonds. The Bounty and Canal
debts would have remained at their maximum
amounts and twenty or thirty millions more
would have been added for the new Capitol.
new asylums, new work on the canals, quaran-
tine establishment sc. AS it is, there has been
extravaganza enough, as the Controller shows,
but we have the consolation that it does not
hang, like the still swelling debt Of the City
of New York, a milestone round the necks %
our children and chldren's children.

reform. It ended in disaster and sorrow, but
those who took part in it will feel every year
better satisfied with that Summers work.
Only two years have passed, and we see to-
day every charge then made against the Ad-
ministration Of Grant and his party sus-
tanned; many of Its leaders driven into
disgraceful retirement, and its organization
discredited and destroyed. But what is far
more encouraging than this is the contrast
presented by the news of this morning. Gen.
Grant and his followers are laboring to make
the war perpetual in the South. for the most
sordid uses of party, and the new Governor
of New York in behalf Of the liberal opposi-
ton which elected him. announces the bn@
and conclusive burial of the hateful and de-
structive quarrels of the past. The Admin
istration party may have what profit they can
rake out of the dying embers of the war. The
future of the country belongs to the men OF
good will.

greatly increased. The trouble is and always
has been in the incompetency and dishonesty
of those to whom the present vicious system
commits the duty of keeping the canals In
good order-the commissioners, superintend'
ents, contractors, politicians and thieves, to
speak plainly. And here we find ourselves In

THE SITUATION IN NEW-ORLEANS.

Louisiana under the bayOnet does not stir.
There is no outbreak, no disturbance. Her
people under usurpations without parallel,
and outrages that almost pass belief, are
quiet. The story of their wrongs has gone to
the country. They wait patiently some action
for their relief by Congress, OF failing that
the judgment Of the nation. Congress is too
busy with other matters to give it atten-
ton. Mr.. Cox in the House and Mr.. Thur
man in the Senate made vain efforts
yesterday to have the subject con-
sidered, but only succeeded in eliciting
some characteristic brag and buster from Mr.
Butler in the House, and purposeless wran-
Gle in the Senate. The statesmen have no
time for inquiring by what authority the army
of the United States Is used to break up the
Legislature of a sovereign State and eject its
members at the point of the bayOnet. The
President is in command. The President can
do no wrong. 1t was under his orders that
the army acted in setting up the fraudulent
Legislature, and they have neither the time nor
the disposition to question any of his acts.
So much for Congress. Now for the people.
This is such an act Of despotism, so subver-
sive of right and justice and of the COnstitu-
ton itself, and 30 fraught with peril to all
the States and all the people, that the voice
of every State in the Union should be heard,
and heard at once, in denunciation Of this
startling crime. The Legislatures of several
States are either in session or about to assem-
BILE. There should be no delay on
the part of any of them in entering
a solemn protest against this whole business.
This at present seems to be all that can be
done. But this should be done at once, not
only for the purpose of asserting the rights
and the dignity of the States themselves, and
denouncing so shameful violation of the Con-
stitution, but to give to the people of Louisi-
ana who challenge the admiration of the cOun-
try for their patient and heroic attitude, as
surances of sympathy and support.
Our latest dispatches are to the effect that
both parties have agreed TO submit tho whole

LAW AND ORDER

The more carefully one examines the pro-
ceedings of the President in New-Orleans, the
more shocking appears his outrage upon law
and decency. His employment OF the army
to overturn the Organization of the Lcgisla:
ture differs in many serious points from his
previous operations in Louisiana. Bad as
those were, this act OF violence is vastly
worse. When he sent troops to keep the
State House for Kellogg in December, 1872.
he could at least pretend that he was follow
ing the decisions of a court OF law. When
be dispersed the McEnery Governments
in September, 1874 he could feign that he was
performing his constitutional duty of deciding
between two claimants for Federal recognition.
But he can offer no such excuses for the pres
ent crime. Search the Constitution the stat
utes. the rulings of the courts, and nowhere
will you find even the color of justification
for the deed that was done on Monday. The
cases in which the President may use the
army aud navy of the United States in the
support of State Government are clearly de-
fined and the exercise of the grave re-
sponSibility intrusted to him Is guarded
with the most jealous care. The
Federal Constitution makes it the duty OF
=. the United States" to guarantee to every
State in the Union republican form of govt
eminent. and 80 OH application of the Legisla-i
{" ture or of the Executive (when the Legisa-i
"ture cannot be conveneD' to protect the
States against domestic violence. The precise
manner in which the United States shah
exercise the latter part of this duty is defined
by the Acts of Congress Of 1875 and 1907. BY
the fist of these statutes it is provided that
" in case of instruction in any State against
"the Government thereof, it shall be lawful
:" for the President of the United States, Oh ,
"application of the Legislature of such !
Estate, or of the Executive when
"the Legislature cannot be convened"
to call upon tho militia of other States TO sup
press the insurrection. The Act of 1907 further
more authorizes the President to employ tho
land or naval forces of tho United States under
the same limitations prescribed for the use
of the militia, "having first observed all tee
prerequisites of law" There are other pro-
visions of both statutes relating to the enforce
ment of the "laws of the United States,' bus
these have no pertinence to the present case.
The sentences we have quoted contain the only
AUTHORITY givea to the President to interfere

coutro,,'er Hopkins's third annual report bs
aides demon strati0g these facts, leaves nothing
10 be desfred on the score of clearness and
completeness In ether respects. II deals with
subjects of great completely in manner
which will excite most admiration in those
who are best acquainted with the difficulties
of the task. 1t places in the strongest light
the extravaganza and ineiiciency OF soma
branches of tho State Government. while it
gives the three Republican Legislatures Of
1872 ., and 4 tho credit which ia due to
them for not finching from the duty Of put
ting the taxes high enough to cover the ex-
penditures. That. indeed, is explicitly required
by the Constitution, but for years the Consti-
tuition was violated and the suicidal course Of
lodging taxes and shutting into debt was
pursued as far as circumstances would permit.
When we speak of the extravaganza and
ineficiency of some portions of the State Gov
eminent we refer to three things which arc
fully treated of in the Controllers report, viz:
% the monstrOus expenditures for public
buildings. (2) the shocking Encouragement Of
the prisons, and (3 the inequalities and inius-
tice Of the present system of assessment and
taxation. 1t is o palpsble fact that. so far
from having done anything to mitigate these
evils. the Legislatures and those officers OF
the State upon whom rests the responsibility
for their continued existence have permitted
these diseases to extend. Take the case OF
the prisons. Mr.. Hopkins shows that the ex-
cess of advances from the State Treasury over
the receipts from earnings has been greater
during the last two years than in any previ-
GUS two in the history of tho State. He gives

matter in controversy to the members OF the
| Congressional Subj Committee now In New
Orleans. appointed to investigate the con-
dtiOn of affairs in the State. These gentle
men will return to Washington for consuita-
ton with their colleagues before accepting 30
delicate and responsible trust. In an interview
with the correspondent of The TRIBUNE, Mr.
Phelps EXPRESSED his opinion very frankly
concerning the illegal interference of the mill
tary in the organization of the Legislature,
and while dividing the blame for the existing
condition between both parties, did not
hesitate to pronounce the charges Oh IN
timidation upon which the Returning
Board based their action, frivolous anu
grOundless What amount of sincerity there is
in the offer of the Kellogg Ring to leave all
! matters in dispute to the decision Oh the COM
mittee and to abide by the result remains 10
be seen. They have played some very scurvy
tricks in this way heretofore, and it hardly
seems probable that they will yield 80 readily
tho vantage ground which their command Oh
the army and their support by the Admins
tration have given them. If they do, it viii
be a very fortunate solution of the matter.
Attorney General Williams is reported to
have disclaimed all connection with the affair,
and to have announced his purpose to connne
his attention to the civil duties OF his posi-
ton, leaving the military functions which he
has exercised 80 vigorously to be discharged
by the President in person or by Lieut.-Gen.
Sheridan. The latter officer has added to his
laurels as civil administrator by dispatch
to the Secretary of War urging the pas
sage of bill by Congress declaring
the White Leagues "banditti,' and turning
them over for trial to a Military Commission.
Or, better than that, he thinks that If the
President would issue proclamation declaring
them bandtti, no further action would need
to be taken, except" he adds significantly,
"that which would devOlve upon me-" The
wild absurdity of this proposal Is apparent
enough to any one who reads the calm
and truthful statements of Congressman
Phelps, an Administration Republican, con-
earning the objects of the White League and
the character of its members. Gen. Sheridan
pronounced judgment upon the people oil
the South in his dispatch published yes
terday, in which he charged them in
the most sweeping manner with being
rebels and murderers Having pro-
nounced Judgment, he desires to be ap-
pointed executioner With such man IN
command. and such material as the Kellogg
Ring to work with, no one can predict what
scenes of violence may be precipitated. The
only reliance for peace is upon the patience
and discretion of sOrely tried people.
