The Scene in the House.

ALBANY, March 26-The defeat of Roosevelt
in the Assembly, this morning, in the refusal of
wo-thirds of the members to go into committee
of the whole on the nine reform measures re
ported unanimously by the special committee
investigating the various departments of the
New York city governm ent, caused quite a SEN
sation around the Capitol. Roosevelt was much
chagrined as the defeat was parliamentary, and
due to his being Slower than the most corpulent
member of the Assembly who outgeneraled
him. There was quite an excitement in the
chamber, and the Democrats, at one time broke
the quorum by retiring.
The troubles of the forenoon session were re-
newed in the evening session The Democrats
submitted a protest against the action of the
Speaker and chairman of the committee of the
whole in the forenoon.
Mr.. Rice member, began to read the pro
test.
Mr. Hasbroucl called Mr. Rice to order, on
the ground that the language used in referring
to the action and ruling of the Speaker was un-
parliamentary.
Mr. Ackroyd addressing Mr. Hasbrouck. the
youngest member of the House, said Hush my
babe be still and slumber." Laughter.
Speaker Sheard trapping loudly for orderl-
The gentleman from Ontario (Mr. Rice) will re-
sumo his seat
Mr. Rice-I shall proceed in order, omitting
those portions which are regarded as unpar-
liamentary and out of order.
Speaker Sheard-The gentleman will resume
his seat.
Mr.. Rice continued to read the protest amid
cries from the minority 1.-THE Demoerats) of "Go
on go on"
Mr. Westfall considered that Mr. Rice had
placed himself in contempt of the House, in re-
fusing to take his seat when ordered to do so by
the Speaker He moved that Mr. Rice be brought
before the bar Of the House and declared in con
tempt.
The Speaker-The Sergeant at arms will take
the member from Ontario Mr.. Rieel into Gus
tody.
Mr. Littleiohn (Republican). ex-Speaker, said
he thought the Speaker had not the power to de-
clare a member in contempt. That was the
province of the House.
Mr. Westfall withdrew the motion, and the
House then proceeded to the third reading of bills.
The bill providing for the election of a Presi-
was passed--yeas, 81 nays 10.
The New York Evening Posts Albany CORE,
spondent says the blame for the delay of the pass
age, if not defeat, of the reform" measures
rests upon Speaker Sheard, and adds that Mr..
Roosevelt and his friends consulted and de-
nounced the action of the Speaker, and declared
unreservedly that Sheard had shown such hos
tity to the measures to render their success
extremely doubtful during this session. The
feeling of dissatisfaction rose so high that a
change of policy was deemed wise by the Speaker
bv arrangement with Mr.. Husted, whom he
chose to lead the retreat. The retreat was be-
gun by Mr.. Husteds moving to lay on the table
the bill that was then being read, and announc-
ing that he would make similar motion in con
nection with each bill as it should be announced.

THE CURSE OF THE DAY.
A Judge Who Believes the Remedy in the
Hands of Society.

Hands OF Society.
Judge o 'Bren, in New York Mail and Express.
Direct legislation can do but little. Laws are
seldom successful in the effort to repress social
vices. AS far as / can learn what are called pro
hibitory laws, generally speaking, fail to pro
hibit. As long as the insane appetite in man for
liquor continues the supply will in some form be
found equal to the demand
If people Will demand intoxication, they will
get drunk on chloral opium, some other
such kind of poison, if whisky is put beyond
their reach. A radical change must be effected
in social morals on this subject. Society must
learn to regard drunkard as a man so degraded
as to be unworthy the company tolerance of
decent people. Men must be educated out of the
error of believing that hospitality conviviality
require excess in drinking for their proper en-
joyment. In relation to another side of the
question, I believe that in dealing with the
rights and duties of those who sell and manu-
facture liquors some mistakes have been made.
do not abandon the hope that this large class,
if the question were laid before them fairly and
in good temper as to the extent which society at
large is injured by the traffic as it now is would
freely accede to some regulation of the trade
which would give great help to the reform which
all sensible men desire Probably the churches
of the various denominations, Hebrew as well as
Christian, may have greater means of affecting
the general feeling of society on this subject
than can be found elsewhere, and they can do
the work more gently than any ether agency,
but all men may fairly differ as to the means to
be employed The best means have probably
not yet been found, but all good men, / think,
will agree that the evil of drunkenness has gone
to such an extent that it must be checked So
ciety is diseased, and the kindliest treatment,
which may also be the firmest in my opinion, is
the best to cure the malady"
