Realizing that the end of the session was
nigh at hand, the Senate and Assembly ruSneu
legislation through yesterday at hgntn'ns On
press speed. But in spite of their irehzleu III
dustrv several score of bills will never rcach
third readnc-a fact that need occasion the
nuh,ic M reoret since these bills, with but
fow ovcont;ons are of little or no I'M
rortorce The low comedy of yesterday at
tho Conitol was furnished by the Democrats OF
tbo Assembly. who, after being mastery IN
active and stupid on the AppOrtionment Dill
for over four weeks, suddenly experienced
change of heart and yearned to have 1t pass
An account of their antics over the Dill Is
given in our Albany dispatches.
State Senator Grady is an interesting figure
to contemplate. In Tammany Hall and on the
stump he is the implacable foe of corporations
and monopolies. At the Capitol he is their in
defatigable agent. In the early part OF the
session THE TRIBUNE ventured to question
the sincerity of Mr.. Gradys ant1-monopoly
professions, and the sensitive soul pretended
to be much hurt by the suspicion. But inc
liberation of his feelings has not prevented
his working with great energy for the success
of monopoly measures of an extremely obJec-
tionable kind Yesterday he worked for the
Baker bill, which covers a Broadway railroad
Job, with zeal and persistency that could not
have been surpassed if he had been sent to
Albany for no other purpose than to secure
the success of that scheme. Mr.. Grady knows
a lob when he sees it, and knows what there
is in it for him.
In response to the request from Congress
seut through Mr.. Hewitt, the Chamber OF Com
merce has considered the question of the re-
moval of the Navy Yard, and has decided
against it. The REPORT says that the yard
should not be removed unless 1t can be shown
that this harbOr can as swell be defended with
out it as with it. This cannot be shown at
present If New-York had proper defences
the fact that the Navy Yard is here might
be of less consequence. But as we now have
no adequate means of security III case Of at
ack from without, the yard would be of great
assistance in time of emergency. This was
proved during the riots of 1868. II an enemy
should approach, it would be necessary. prob
ably, to turn tugbOats and other craft into
torpedo boats, for which the Navy Yard would
be indispensable. The report of the Cham
Der is based on the opinions of experts and
will be duly needed. But many OF the tax
payers in Brooklyn viii continue to be IN
happy as long as $50 acres of land in that
city pay no taxes. The Chamber declares III
cdentally that the defence of New-York is a
National matter of first importance. That is a
fact. The trouble is the Nation will not
realize it,

GENERAL NOTES.

The London Times expresses some sur
prise at the American custom of fiOcking
to hear men who have attained prominence
of any sort in England. 1t also makes the
startling statement that "Mr. Oscar
Wilde, whose chief function in the Eng
lish) metropolis was to furnish amuse-
ment to the readers of Punch, has been
treated seriously in the United States as
the apostle ola great aesthetic movement
The hotel expenses of the humbug Tariff
Commission at Long Branch were $4,000;
two DAYS trip to New York cost 1914, of
which STA were for lunch on the tug.
One humbugger staid four days at a Wash
ingtOn hotel at the rate of $36 per day.
These are only the first items of an in
teresting bill of expenses now being
audited in Washington. 1t is said there
is no mention Of wines, liquors and cigars
in the bill These items, however, may
be included in the significant 'etc," which
frescOes the bill.
The death of the late J. W. SimOntOn
was quite as sudden as it was at first an
nOunced to have been. The day before he
died he took a horseback ride and seemed
in good health, That evening he became
decidedly unweI, and word was sent to
San Francisco for physician, who was
in attendance the next day, but Mr.: ST.
monitor seemed so much improved that
only the fact that the last train had gone
for the evening kept the doctor at Napa
during the night, That evening Mr.. ST.
monitor said he was tired of lying in bed
and wanted to get up. He had hardly adj
justed himself in the chair when he gave
a few quick gasps and was dead. His
death was due to heart disease. His re-
mains reached New York last Saturday,
and funeral services were held in Mr..
COllyer's church Sunday.
Notwithstanding the strict orders is
sued in August last about guarding the
Treasury Department building in Wash
ingtOn it has been ascertained that much
lOoseness in connection Herewith was
not corrected until during the past week.
Several nights since a prominent official
of the department scaled the fence at
the west side of the building, and got
into the building through one of the win
dows on the basement floor. Neither the
Waterman nor the officers of the watch
knew he was in the building until he pre-
scented himself in the office of the Captain
of the Watch. An examination next day
showed that but few of the basement win
dows were provided with bolts or fasten-
ings. Secretary FOlger, having been in
formed. has ordered that new gratings be
put on the outside of all the lower win
dows,
A New York paper holds out hope to
Eastern butchers that the live stock trade
may still exist among them. 1t says the
railroads have wide margin of feed and
ward charges and freight rates on which to
draw before reaching the minimum at
which cattle can be carried from the west
at a profit, and the hide and tallow dealers
NAV find way to offer inducements which
will exert a strong influence on the market.
Probably on the principle of fighting, the
devil with fire, it gives those interested the
very natural advice TO fight the refrigera-
tor by keeping cool, and prophesies that

The Railroad Building Mania.

Over-railrOading and Over-capitalizatiOn
are at the bottom of all these troubles.
The country has been building of late at
the rate of 1000 miles per month. Taking
the cost of every mile at S5O,OOO-and this
is low estimate. as there are roads capt.
talized at nearly twice that amOunt-sOme
5000. 900 have thus been expended for
no better purpose than enriching the pro-
motors of the companies, for most of the
newly built roads run through wild regions
which do not as yet warrant the existence
of any railroad at all. That sum makes
per capita contribution of over $11 for
every man. woman and child living in this
country. The British Crown costs the
United Kingdom about four cents per
capita year. Now, what is cheaper for
the people-to support a Queen Victoria
or to support a blind pool of railroad
schemers like Gould, Vanderbilt, Willard,
Sidney Dillon, Palmer and one or two
other patriotic and benevolent gentlemen.

Too Much One Man Power in America.

The Americans, to begin with, prefer
the Presidential system toi the parliament
tary in all things, and leave to individuals
whom we should call chairmen, far more
power than Englishmen usually do. They
do not use, moreover, the checks by which
we habitually prevent single men from
mOnOpolizing stock in any concern, and
then governing it at their own discretion,
The notion of one man owning all the
shares in the Bank of England, and APP
pointing all the directors, would horrify
Englishmen. An American with great
fortune can buy joint stock bank, rail
way line, or a great telegraph system, and
govern it as he pleases; and he has many
temptations to do it. He wants Occupa-
ton, he wants power, and he wants status;
and the control, say, of a railway, with its
stocks, its contracts, its patronage, and its
importance to State governments, gives
him all he wishes for, besides a prospect,
if he manages well, of indefinitely increas-
ing his pile"

shortage of Orders the Cause.

The tariff would have to be reduced be-
low $14 per ton before English rails could
compete with the present prices of West
ern rails, calling them $47 per ton. And
if they can be made here at $42, the Scran-
ton price, English competition would not
be felt if the duty were reduced to $40 per
ton. 1t is no apprehension, then, of re-
ductiOn of the tariff that is causing steel
mills to reduce production, but simply a
shortage Of orders. Railroad building for
the season is nearly over, and not many
new roads are projected for next year, and
hence the dizziness in the rail making

1t is not enough for Il man to get a nOmi-

JAY Hubbell. by his forced contributions,
is able to furnish. Something more than
money is needed to carry elections.
If the recent defeat teaches anything, it
teaches this truth. We hope that the
American people will take it to heart. We
hope especially that political managers of
the jay Hubbell stripe will masticate it,
digest it, assimilate it, and make it a part
of their moral, mental and physical con-
stitution. We hope, too, that foreigners
and pessimists will perceive the fool
ishness of the charge that money is the
great and only motor in American politics.

much reliance upon patronage as the main

weak support in the end. As the elections

well, but, unless there is a decided change

Why wages Are High.

Wages are high in this country because
land is abundant and cheap. The value
that a man can get by working the ground
is what governs commodity wages with
us, and protection makes them lower
rather than higher by taxing the farmer
for the benefit Of the manufacturer, thus
diminishing the earnings Of agriculture,
which control the labor market.

A total abolition of internal revenue
taxation is not desirable. Duties should
be abolished on all articles except whisky
and tobacco, and ON them moderate tax
should be placed, which would increase
the revenue they would bring to the gov
eminent. Then customs tariff for revenue
strictly, should be, adopted. That is the
peoples programme, and is the simple,
plain mission of the FOrty-eighth Congress.
