The SCHOOL BILL.-On Tuesday the Su-
preme Court adjourned, after a session Of 81
days. Before adjourning, the Chief Justice
(wl.o will write the opinion to be filed at next
term) announced the unanimous decision of
the court in answer to the petition for man
damus to wit, that the attachment of the
Speakers signature to an Act of legislation
is vital formality, made mandatory by the
wording of the Constitution. Furthermore
that the signatures should be affixed during
the session of the Legislature, but if not SO
affixed, the Supreme Court possesses no au-
thority to require the Speaker to correct
their neglect, whether accidental or inten-
tiOnal.
The decision, we expect, will excite wide
spread comment, pro and con. The question
is difficult one. AS it now stands, all that
is necessary to vitiate law, however impor-
tant, is for one of the speakers to neglect, or
refuse to sign; or for one of the clerks to
abstract the bill in such manner that the
speakers never have it brought for sigma
ture. Per contra, it is important that every
possible formality shall be thrown around
the act of legislation since we are not with
out instances of wrong doing in consequence
of informality Doubtless the next LegIs-
lature will prescribe new regulations on the
subject.

The New Mayor.

Mr.. Edward Cooper takes possession OF
the Mayors Office to-day, and will be at the
head of the municipal government for two
years to come. He enters upon his duties
under favorable circumstances. He is not
subject to the influence or dictation of any
political organization, having been elected
by the votes of men Of all parties. He finds
the city debt decreasing, the public credit
good, the annual expenditures lessened,
business improving; real estate, under the
influence of rapid transit, looking conf
IDENTIFY to recovery from its long depres-
sion, and the promise of increased employ
ment for labor good. Before and after his
election Mr.. Cooper assured the people of
his entire freedom from pledges, di-
rect or implied, regarding his official
action, and OF his determination to
give the city government based upon
the sound and honest principles that
would control the management Of private
business. We have heard such promises
from executives who have preceded Mr..
Cooper, and have, unfortunately, seldom
known them to be fulfilled. But in the
present case the Mayor has every facility
for keeping faith with the people and every
inducement to do so. The new administra-
tion will receive tho hearty support of the
HERALD if it is found to be based on the
principles Mr.. Cooper has announced. II
he will truly and honestly conduct the city
government as he would his own business
he will establish precedent whose good
influence will be felt for many years to
come.

Three Sad Stories.

Seldom does the press intrude upon New
Year festivities trio Of narratives as sod
as those which we give this morning. The
testimony in the Furniss shooting case, the
investigation and verdict in the Harlem
Bridge accident and the story of the Schultz
mystery embody considerable reading
which is all the more dismal because most Of
the mishaps recorded might have been
avoided. It is very unlikely that
il he had been in uniform. fright
ened man is always reassured by the
presence of men whom he knows to be off,
GERS; but the crazy man, Palmer, naturally
imagined the policemen in civilian dress
to be the enemies that he thought were
dogging him. The verdict of tho Coro-
ner's jury in tho case Of Mr.. Ste
venson, who was drowned by stepping
off q bridge which should have been closed,
duplicates single man, but even II he be
proved innocent tho testimony already
given shows that the fatal draw was
opened and closed without the prccau-
ton which prudence would dictate in
even the case of drawbridee over q
country stream. No matter what individual
may be pronounced responsible, the moral
blame must attach to the authorities who
leave bridge on On important highway
without men enough to properly work
and guard it, and without any facilities for
life saving The Schultz affair, although
still unexplained, shows that the victim
was reckless to degree which seems
inexplicable, when his usual pru-
dence is considered. That q man who
always remained within doors after dark,
undoubtedly because the character OF his
property was known, could have not only
departed from his cautious habit on single
occasion. but gone into Secluded road,
which was also hidden nv the darkness of

Why Not the "L."

Life is short and the Americans are busy
people. Newspapers nre read quickly
dinners are swallowed hurriedly-letters
are written briefy-everybody is pushing
and crowding everybody else and there are
great many George Washington Phippses
among us 1t is the fnshion to talk rapidly
and sometimes by abbreviation. Every one
remembers the story Of the beau who was
startled to hear his lady-love talk about
taking ''prom" on "Broad"-meaning, of
course, promenade on Broadway. Now
.'the elevated railroad" is too long an ex-
preston for rapid transit days. Why not
call it the "L?' "Going to take the L ?"
would be question more rapidly asked
than "Are you going to take the elevated
railroad?" In the name of q hurried, busy
people. we suggest the adoption Of the alb
breviation. There can be no objection to
its use-unless, indeed, the speaker should
happen to come from dear Hold Hengland.
