THE POW:RS or THE COVERNOR.

| The other day the Legislature in the exercise
of its discretion declined to make an immediate
| appropriation for the purpose OF continuing
work upon the Capitol. 1t seems, according to
| The Bafdl0 ErpresS that Governor Cleveland
was much annoyed at the course pursued by the
! Senate in this matter. The Albany correspond
| ent of that paper represents him as saying "
" shall tell Lansing just what ! think OF him
! - when he comes in here to see about some OF
| " his bills" Mr.. Lansing is chairman of the
Finance Committee of the Senate-tle COM
miticc To which the question OF apprOprlatinS
money is sent.
We submit that this won't do. The Consttu-
ton gives the Governor no right to call to
account amcmbcr of coordinate branch OF the
State Government. 1t is made his duty, by that
instrument of last resort, to communicate by
message to the Legislature, at every session, the
condition of the State; to expedite all measures
that NAV be resolved upon by the Legislature,
signing or vct0ing them according as he ap-
proves or disapproves; and to take care that
the laws are faithfully executed Nowhere does
the Constitution make him the censor of any
law-maker. But the Constitution does provide
that " for any speech or debate in either House
aof the Legislature the members shall not be
"oucstioned in any other place" The phrase,
u in any other place." is doubtless commodious
enough to include the Executive Chamber.
We are inclined to dwell upon this point
because this is not the first time the Governor
has assumed functions that are not conferred
upon his office by the Constitution. Last winter
he sent TO the Senate a certain nomination. 1t
was for the Senate, and the Senate alone, to
decide whether it would confirm or reject. By
changing up" the nomination the Senate
virtually rejected it. The result was that the
Governor addressed message to that body
which was proper on no other theory than that
the Constitution gave the Governor not only the
power to nominate but the power to assist the
Senate in its disposal of nominations. This
extraordinary message, it will be remembered,
eulOgized the nominee and characterized the
opposition to confirmation as "captious" and
as being inspired by an Overweening greed
for patronage"
1t is manifest that the best interests of the
people demand that our Senators and
Assemblymen should transact the important
duties devoving upon them without fear or
favor from any quarter Certainly Executive
interference is gravey to be deprecated. We
trllst that the Democratic press, which at inter
walls discourses so impressivey concerning the
evils of Capitalization, will join in requesting
the Governor to respect the freedom ana
independence of the Legislature.

FyPAYDTNG THE PInK ARE4.

The commission that was authorized by the
last Legislature to select and locate lands for
public parks in the annexed district of this city
has made long report, showing that it per
formed In a liberal manner the task ASST gned it.
A bill prepared by the commission, for the pur
pose of carrying out its recommendations, has
been introduced ntOthe Legislature. If passed
in its present shape, the city will be compelled
to purchase at once all the lands selected by the
commission for parks and parkways i'll the
annexed district. There ought to be no manda-
tory clause in the bill. Before the purchase of
the land is authorized its cost should be known
The commission has located six new parks
and three parkways in the annexed
district, containing a total Of nearly $3.50
acres. The present park area of the
city, including Central and all the minor
parks, is ,O94 acres. The increase prOposedby
the commission will amount to 343 per cent
Before the city undertakes the purchase and
maintenance of this additional park area it
should provide for more effective and econom-
ical control than that exercised over the exist
ing parks. If this is not done there will be IA
much greater increase than 343 per cent in the
cost of maintenance, exclusive of the original
cost of ilnprO cement.
There is, no doubt great deal Of force in the
statistics of the commission showing that New
York is much worse off than many other large
cities in regard to parks and public lands, and
that the increased tax income from the territory
surrounding Central Park has made that prof
liable investment. New parks in the annexed
district would increase the taxable value of the
land there and, probably, this is favorable
time to provide for them. But the need Is not

THE TRIBUNE ALMANAC.

Almanac-maklug as an art is about as old aS
printing. The first crude publications. of this kind
are believed have been issued at Buda and Vienna
about four hundred years ago. Calendars were
made by the Arabian astronomers and the AleXan-
drian Greeks at an earlier period and astronomical
and chronological charts were common III the Mid
die Ages; but these were not distinctive types OF
the modern annuals. The first almanacs com
piled by German astronomers and printed in Their
own language and IN Latin. In the sixteenth cen
tury there were very few publications of this sort,
but in the following century "A great demand for
them sprang up In Germany, France and England.
The most famous of these ANIMALS was Poor
Robins Almanack," published continuously from
1868 to 1775. The first American almanac is be-
lieved to have been ISSUED in Philadelphia in 1857.
" Poor Richards Almanac published by Franklin
during the quarter-century ending in 1857, OBJ
tained a wide circulation not only IN the Colonies
but also in France and England where its hOmcly

wit. literary pretensons and. crude superstition of
university and statiOncrs publications. In 1863

these THE TRIBUNE ALMANAC has occupied a com
manding position as political authority since the
day wien it was founded by Mr. Greeley. The
reputation of that manual is one of the honorable
traditions Of this office and no pains are spared
year after year to maintain its unriyaed position

The new issue of THE TRIBUNE ALMANAC may

Twenty pages are devoted to analysis of the

posed in the old Tariff, and the rate recommended
by the Tariff Commission. These tables are of the
highest Importance, since the changes that were
actually made together with those that were recon-
mended are disclosed at a single glance. In final
