The weather continued soft all last
Wednesday, and light rains occurred
at various times during the day.
Considerable of the snow disappeared,
the packed snow pavement softened,
and it looked as if sleighing was DOOM
ed. Towards night it got cold enough
to harden the pavement. Many of
the merchants took advantage of the
thaw to get their sidewalks free from
the icy covering that had collected.
Since Wednesday night the tempera-
ture has been cold, though not exces-
sive, and slight fall of snow made
sleighing again first class. If We'd
nesday had been followed by another
warm day, the sleighing in the city
would have been ruined.

pending does not 90 far enough. 1t lays the
foundation for better state of affairs In doing
away with the advance notes, provided tho law
is not evaded, but it makes necessary change
which Mt first must produce a good deal OK
trouble. One reason why seamen so often nave
next to nothing coming to them at the end OF
voyage is that the captain or owners are
allowed to charge what they please for all sup
plies made to the crew at sea out OF the sl0p
chest. How this privilege is often abused may
be conceived from statement made to a re-
porter of The San Francisco Alta recently, OF
case in which ship captain sold tobacco to tho
men at the rate of four dollars pOund-t0bacco
switch he could sell at profit for 80 cents
pound"
1t may easily be seen that under this system
the wages of the crew can be absorbed com
pletcly, and it is certain that the slOp chest as
an institution must " go " before the sailor can
be free to save his wages while at sea- In fact
regular slop-chest tariff will have to be en-
forced by law, and if THE TRIBUNE's advice
had been followed, Congress would have made
this feature of tho Dingley bill. Just now,
however, the opposition of the boarding house
men has to be reckoned with. They have
will not allow men to sign articles unless adj
vance notes are given so as to secure them pay
ment for arrears of board. In San Francisco,
where the great wheat feet gathers once year,
and there is a large demand for hands at GER
tain time, the difficulty threatens to be serious,
and it is to be feared that attempts will be
made to evade the law, rs for example by pay
ing the men nominal wage for the first month
or two, and in consideration of this giving them
a considerable sum, cash in hand, in advance.
But if the sailor is to be freed from the para
sites that prey upon him the law will have to be
enforced vigilantly and when the boarding
house masters find they cannot override or cir
cumvcnt it they will probably find some method
of living under and within it, or they will seek
some business which docs not involve so much
cncanery and fraud

we have had no end to the talk In 1he f0s
about "the rascally Dayton amendment"
Now. the fact is that the amendment did not
change in the least the scope and purpose of
tho hill and it offered absolutely no excuse for
the veto. This will appear evident to any falr
minded person who will read the facts in regard
TO the measure, which are given at considerable
length on the seventh page of to-day's lRIB-
rNE. If the original bill was n complete and
consistent measure, and had the warm ap-
proval of the Citizens Committee and OF AL
most the entire press of the city-then the
amended bill was equally good. The only change
made by the amendment was in providing
that the terms of any Commissioner or head OF
Department appointed under the provisions OF
the act should expire with the term of the IN
coming Mayor. Their successors would be ap-
pointed by the following Mayor under the pro-
visions of the consolidation act.
The principle of having the term of the head
of a department expire with that of the Mayor
who appoints such ofliceris one that has worked
well in Brooklyn. 1t has met with the COM
mendation of the newspapers which now, In
order to present even the shadow OF n excuse
for the Governors course, condemn it. lie

shield Commissioner Thompson, condemned
official whose support was necessary to 1urther
the Governors political ambition. There Is not
much room for doubt as to the reason Inc
bill passed the Legislature May 8. That body
did not adjourn until May II, and the Governor
did not veto the bill until a month later-or
when the Saratoga Convention was about to con-
yene, and it became necessary for him to act In
order to secure Commissioner Thompsons
support.
The Governors course in regard to the
Sherff-s case. whose support was secured by
pigeonholing grave charges which were fully
sustained by documentary evidence, Is ample
proof of his sham reform pretensions. onow
saws that he has not yet even looked ut the
charges against the Sheriff. But if at some
future time he should think it worth while to
examine the papers he will appoint referee TO
take testimony, who will doubtless make re-
port after the election. OF course the Cover
