reaus that collect money which goes into the Guy
treasury are making surprising returns Inc
cause tor all this change for the better is simply
wholesome fear of the Assembly investigating
Committee.
That committee has already brought to light
many serious abuses, and it is far from cOnclud-
ing the work which it ought to do. We think
il might proAtably turn its attention to the cost
of city printing. If the taxpayers were in
formed of the total expenditure Of all the de-
partments for printing, in addition to the cost
of The City Record Office. and learned how much
of the outlay was eXtravagant and supcrfluous,
they might be somewhat surprised. The COM
mitteo might well devote some attention to the
ornamental counsel OF some Of the departments
and discover what returns they make in genuine
work for the handsome salaries paid theu 1t
might look into the recent reorganization OF the
Health Department. and find out if the changes
made were really prompted by desire for
greater economy and efficiency. And as the
Senate Committee on Cities seems to be making
rather slow progress in turning over the ground
in the Department of Public Works, the Assem-
bly, Committee might help it out by searching
for the reasons for the astounding increase in
cost and the apparently inexcusable delay in the
work on the Bronx River.

4 CRUEL BLOV.

Mr.. Morrison's friends have dealt hardly with
that statesman. They propose ms play of
Hamlet, with the part Of Hamlet omitted by
special request. Having proposed unto himself
reform tariff, Mr.. Morrison was cOaXed OF
frightened into making horizontal" changes
on pearly all articles, but he cOnsOled himself
by reporting a biz free list. This, he then rep
resented. was after all the vital part Of the bill
it did put abont eighty specified articles on
the free list. That was . beginning; it would
serve to convince free trade friends that MIR.
Morrison was not a mere trimmer and dOdscr
as these other men are, but a genuine "refOr-
mcr."
"Alas for the rarity Of Christian charity "
among reformcrs." Mr.. MOrrsOn's committee
has taken up his bill, and having discovered
what part OF it was most pleasing to his eyes
and most vital in his estimation, has carefully
left that out. The rest, with its botches and
blunders. its ridiculous tagging after the first
and crudost tariff ever framed by the Rcpubli-
cans, its absurd but most mlSchicvOus horizontal
feature, the committee is said TO be willing TO
report. One can conceive that all this part, II
Mr. Morrison has any clear notions about the
tariff, was an eycsore and offence to him, which
lac was persuaded 10 endure only because he
could make beginning" by lis long free list.
But now be is called upon to father and advo-
cate what he must consider The worst and most
discrcdiable parts Of the bill, with the only
part left out which altogether satisfied his theo-
lics and his lOngings.
If Mr.. Morrison could only look at his bill
through the eyes of other people, he would see
that it has mischief enough in it as it stands.

moval Of duties on many raw materials was
going 10 compensate for reduction Of duties on

TO hear Nlr. Morrison defend the reduction of
Just 3 cents per ton on iron ore, leaving it
90 cents, whereas the duty until 1869 was 10
Der cent, or about 20 cents per ton, and con-
trast it with his proposed reductions on manu-
featured iron.

mcnt of its penal institutions. BY tho terms OF
the bill appointing it tho Commission was to
report not later than March. But the members
found that they could not In justice to subject
of such vast Importance report within the pre-
scribed time. Accordingly second Dill was
introduced extending the time. This bill was
passed by the Assembly on Thursday-a Dill
having previously been passed abolishlng the
convict contract system. On Friday the Commls-
sion bill reached the Senate, and the Republic
cans being temporarily without majority ow-
ing to tho absence Of several Senators, 1T
occurred to tho Democratic Senators that it
would be q cunning thing to beat the bill and
thus render the labOrs of the Commission of no
account. A moro discreditable project it would
be difficult to imagine. The Commission was
non partisan, 1t was engaged in a work OF the
first public Importance to bring it to an
untimely end was to deprive the Legislature of
facts and conclusions without which they were
not in position to dispose of the prison ques-
ton. But such considerations were lost upon
the minority Senators. 1t evidently was enough
for them that there might be partisan gain In
abolishing the contract system without stopping
to provide any sort of substitute. The fill
clustering was accordingly perseyered in Friday
until the hour of adjournment. 1t was renewed
Saturday, but owing to the return of several
Republican Senators who had been absent the
day before it was bafied and the bill passed.
These facts may safely be submitted to the
people without comment. Democracy as repre-
sented in the Senate has simply disgraced itself.
1t has demonstrated that it is capable of strik-
ing serious blow at the public veal at the
suggestion of partisanshp as INSCRIPTIONS as

TIE MEETING or THE STATE COMMITTEE
The Republican State Committee meets in
this city to-day. 1t is charged with the perform
ancc of important duties. A time and place
arc to be selected for holding the State Convcn-
ton which is to chose delegates TO the
National Convention. This is the routine buSi-
ness. In addition, and of more moment IS the
business imposed upon the committee by the ac-
ton of the Chicago Convention of 1850 IN
abolishing the unit Yule and providing for dis
trict representation. 1t is obviously desirable
that uniform method of procedure may be
adopted by the district conventions, and very
properly the State Committee is requested to
recommend a wen -digcsted plan to the districts.
Who is to cal the conventions Z How is the
necessary machinery TO be set in notion How
many delegates shall convention be composed
off The great body of Republicans the State
over ere now asking these questions. Some
districts find them easy to answer. Others DO
not. We trust and believe the committee will
meet the best expectations on this vital point.
Another point. Are we to have two State
Conventions this year, There would seem to
he a widespread feeling in the party that one
is all that is really necessary. The Utica Herald
expresses the hope that the State Committee IN
calling the convention will do so under terms
that will provide for the nomination of Presi-
Dental electors and two candidates for Judges
Of tie Court of Appeals. It adds that the
"Presidential electors are likely to be named, in
"some instances, by the district conventions.
UIf such right is assumed, we do not presume
I" the power to dispute it will anywhere exist"
Other Republican newspapers in the interior
have expressed thcmseves to the same effect
The only Office to be filed this fall is that OF
Judge of the Court of Appeals. And it will be
for the committee to decide whether it is worth
while to incur the expense and trouble of two
conventions. As for the new State Committee,
it is not unlikely that if the districts claim the
right to select Presidential electors, they will
find equal warrant for naming their respective
committeeman. Why nOt'
In multitude of counselors there is wisdom.
The State Committee is a large body of capable
and experienced men. We confidently look to
them to do well by the party at this time.

THE LIBRARY or CONGRESS.

q 1t is to be hoped that tho Democrats VINO OPP
pose the passage of the bill for housing the
library Of Congress will change their attitude
There may be differences of opinion as to the
site selected, but there can be no rational dis
pute as to the necessity for the proposed build
ing, and men of public spirit will not jeOpardize
the whole enterprise because OF some difference
on a non-esscntal point. Congressman should
remember that at present tho library Is III con
slant danger. 4 fire is liable to occur at any
time, and should the library be destroyed or
seriously Injured while members Of tho House
are wransling over the question OF site Tor Il
proper library building, the country would GER
tainly hold the obstructionsts responsible for
the disaster, and they would be apt to find public
sentiment unfavOrablc to their continuance in
positions Cf trust.
There has been some wild talk of breaking up
the library and distributing the books to the
several States. Now the chief value of any
such collection of books must always consist in
its concentration. 1t should be the one central
point at which the student. the statesman, the
seeker after literary information of any sort,
could be sure OF finding it; and it Is of course
very much easier to build up one great central
collection than thirty-nine or more small ones.
IL fact 4 more unreasonable and mlschlcyous
proposition could not bc made than that which
aims at the dispersion of the library of Con-
grcss. and no Con gresham who has any regard
for his own reputation fol- common SENSE to say
nothing of culture. will be found advocating
such scheme Tho friends of the bill, on the
other hand, ought to make an energetic and
rcsoute effort to get it through the House. for
it is plain that if something is not done soon it
