RUSHING BAD MEASURES.

The advantage which a vicious bill Will some
times obtain over good measure has been
freshly illustrated at Albany this week. On
Monday night Senator Murphy introduced bill
to provide for the payment of the counsel fees
ard other expenses incurred by city officer in
defending his official conduct before court, in
yestigating committee or other body that may
have legal authority to inquire into the same.
The officer is to be reimbursed, providing no is
not removed from Office as the result of this In
ouiry into his official conduct.
The measure is a peculiarly bad one. 1t
would require the city to pay large sums for
counsel fees and expenses" of indicted officials
who may perhaps escape because Of jury's
disagreement or on some legal flaw or techni-
entity wholly disconnected with the question of
guilt or innocence. Other large sums would
have to be paid to city officials who employ
counsel TO impede an investigation into their
official conduct. That would be tho result OF
about every such investigation, the Legislature
having no direct power to remove city ofhciai.
There Is no good reason why commissioner
should require counsel before an investigating
committed Such body is not a court conduct
ing a trial. but merely a committee gathering
information for the purposes of Legislation. ii
