relieve newspaper correspondents from great
temptations and Senators themselves from
liability to Misrepresentation, and be upon the
whole public benefit.
New-York tribune., 1882-03-06

1t will be an excellent thing if the cOu ntry
members of the Legislature can rise above
the narrow opinions of some of the temper
ance refOrmers and pass proper excise
bill for this city, even if it does fal short of
absolute prohibition and wear the unpleasant
appearance of compromise with intemper-
ance. The sale of liquor cannot be prevented
in New York City, but it can be restricted.
The bill which has been agreed upon
by the committee of the State Legisla-
ture is not what we want, and its bad
features are glaring. 1t has few if any of the
good points of the Forster bill, which deserved
q better fate than it met last year. Any dis
reputable liquor seller can obtain the sigma
lures of ten men to vOuch for his respectable
ity. The standard of good reputation is low
and varying in the Excise Office; but this bill
would prevent the Commissioners from going
behind the certificate of character. 1t is bad
to have too much power in the hands of the
police but the clause delaying arrests for vio-
latons of the Excise law without warrant
founded upon an affidavit delays action that
often should be summary. Everybody would
be glad, however, to have the thrce-bed farce
finished

Unless public opinion is greatly at fault, the
Insurance Committee of the State Senate will
have an opportunity to do much needed work
in investigating the management of insolvent
corporations; and the results ought to lead to
useful legislation. This will be especially the
case In regard to the life insurance business
Holders of policies in ruined life insurance
companies have long been bitter sufferers from
swindling. Prominent and successful men in
the insurance business in this city can give the
committee valuable ideas. The best way to
save from failure companies the solvency of
which is only slightly involved is an important
point, and safeguards should be placed around
the reinsurance of outstanding risks i'll solvent
companies. Excessive costs cannot always
be prevented by the most honest receiver,
but in the opinion of many, a long step would
be taken toward economy and less litigation
if lawyers in the case had to depend on their
clients for their pay.

Some interesting statistics will be found in
| another column concerning the production OF
pig iron in this country during the last year.
The increase over 1880 was less than was ex-
pected by many, being only q little more than
per cent. The product in 1879 did not
greatly exceed three million net tons; In 1881
ii was increased over million and two hundred
thousand tons but last year the gain was rot
much over three hundred thousand tons. Ihe
reason of this is easily found in the fact that,
in 1870, the iron manufacturers, only then
aroused to their opportunities, were occupied
in preparing all idle furnaces for the next sea-
son. and when these were put in operation a
greatly increased production--or boom y
was the result. The increase for 1881, there
FORE could only be the fruit of new furnaces,
and the per cent is at no disadvantage
under these circumstances
The folly of borrowing trouble Is shown by
the report that the City of Berlin has not
gone down, but is being towcd into Boston.

and 700 miles east of New-York. The Vile
dAlger took the Inman steamship In tow
for nearly nine hours, when the line

Samaria came up, and being more powerful
than the Vile d'Alger, started with the City
of Berlin for Halifax, but apparently changed
her course and towed the disabled ship into

Day by day the terrible truth
that the life of no man is safe
who is connected with a bank or
is the possessor of any consider
able sum of money, is receiving
fresh confirmation. The horrible
tragedy at Waupacca, in this state,
is simply an additional chapter to
an almost interminable list of SIM
liar butcheries for booty. When
the Black Forrest of Germany and
the mountain passes of Italy were
swarming with land pirates and
professional robbers, murders for
money were scarcely more numer-
Gus than they are in America to-day.

Mercantile Economy,

in the interior Of the State who WAS
known To be cash down man, but who
was at the same time rather queer, as
they soon discovered In filling his first
order he claimed shortage Of six clothes
pins on shipment Of 100 dozen. and in
the next he found a barrel Of sugar
thrce-quarters Of pound less than stat
ed in the bill This gave the firm a cue
for future dealing with him, aud every
order was filled with the utmost care.
Everything was all right for few
months, but then a slip gave him a
chance 10 growl over a shortage Of six
ounces on the gross weight of chest Of
tea, and from that time he had a com
plant ready whenever an order has been
filed At length, the other day, he
walked into the store in person, his face
wearing look of stern determination,
and after the usual compliments he he
gan:
II called in to say that shall deal no
more with this house"
rs That SOY Haven we always used

"No, sir, you haven't! There's too
much shortage"
But we have always allowed it,"
