The Senate Committee did not probe the Pub
lie w orks Department in vain yesterday. IL
was pretty clearly established that Mr.. Thomp-
son WAS interested in Turkish bath house In
which no water meter was placed or charge
made for the extra amount of CrOton used, un-
til the fact was made public In the newspapers.
He bought large quantities of coal on $99s
orders. given to Patrick Collins, a member or
his Assembly District Committee but when the
Council of Reform complained to the Mayor
that an excessive price was PAID for t'iiS ru"l' m
Mr.. Thompson ceased to buy OF Col"h'' -"
same kind of coal is now obtained Dy con.i"''
at much lower price than was paiu CoH'n''
Under the samo system of evadlng the Id" ny
means of orders, Mr.. Thompson expended Ill
few weeks about $500 for painting the TO-
tunds and corridors of the Court House. Inc
excuses given for not letting out this )oD OF
work by contract are of the fmsiest kind. Inc
time allowed the Committee in which to make
report will expire next Saturday. 1t is clear
that it will be necessary to ask for an extension
of time, as many important matters anectihg
the Department have not yet been touched.
The members of the Legislature Will make
grave mistake (as is pointed out by MIR. Morris
K. Jesup in another part of this impression)
il they neglect at this session to pass some
effective bill looking toward the preserVa-
ton of the Adirondack forests. The matter Is one
of great Importance to the future welfare OF
this State. Unfortunately it has not been dis
cussed long enough to arouse the people to an
adequate realization of the extensive interests
involved, or of how they will be damaged II the
destruction of the woods goes on as at present.
The lumbermen and the other enemies ot these
forests, therefore, are able now to exert pow
erful influence against any measure when they
disapprove. But when public sentiment ls at
last fully stirred up there will certainly be dis
position manifested to look back, to see
how the commercial interests of the State were
guarded at Albany in the session of 1So l-o5.
twill be no recommendation then in the eyes OF
intelligent voters for any Assemb!yman or
Senator to have shown himself willing to leave
the forests in peril, thereby imperilling in turn
the hudson and the canals. The matter comes
up in the Legislature again on Monday night

II is certain that General Vicle did not raise
himself OF his Department in the eyes Of the
public yesterday, when he declared that recent
criticisms upon Park management were due to
o combination formed for working the PRESS
Such statement was undignifed and silly, and
General Viele knows perfectly well that he can
not produce shred of evidence to support his
assertion.

The Assembly has passed the bill apprOpriat-
ing million to carry on the work on the new
State Capitol Those who favored the eXpcn-
diture of a larger sum have argued that the
faster the work was done the cheaperit it would be
IN the end That il all true enough, perhaps
or it would be, if there was any certainty that
under the present management the money
would be wholly devoted to the object for
which it was set aside. But this is a Presldcn-
tial year. and it would not be right to place too
great temptation in the way Of any Democratic
official.

the insurance business and made specially OF boiler in
surance with every policy issued there was also
printed sheet Of instructions asto how boiler should 70
handled 1t was part Of the policy agreements that
tbasa ,nstrucons should be followed We'll. now, you
NAV think 1t funny but II the owners OF oOers followed
these instructions they didn't need any insurance
boiler couldn't burst II the engineer followed the rules
laid down. Did We have any exposionsi Or course "s
did And it was because the rules were not oDeyeL hs

How bitterly the German Reichstag rcSentS
Prince Bismarcli's course in interccptlng the
Lasker resolution was shown by the brief dis
cussion INDUCED in by some of the members
yesterday. Despite the Presidents repeated
assertion that the speakers were out OF order,
they persisted in praising the action of our
House of Representatives and said slgnli-
cantly that if they were out of order it was not
their fault. One member went so far as to de-
clare amid great uproar that Prince Bismarck's
sinterference was "unj njustiiiable." These
were strong words in such place, and they Will
doubtless have a soothing effect upon the lrrta-
ton that the German ChancellOr's aifrOnt has
caused in this country. They ought also TO con-
vince the House of Representatives of the pro
rriety of letting the Rechstag do all the talking.
The present state of business affairs seems to
have tie effect of bringing TO light Numerous
embezzlemcDts in Il small way In different parts
of the country. In many instances 1t has been
the old. old story of borrowing" the banks or
the city's money for speculation in stocks or
produce, with the A" certainty of replacing it in
a short time. The certainty, of course, has
proved to be the worst OF uncertainties, and
ruiD and disgrace have been the results. This
was the trouble at least in the case Of Treasurer
Van Fleet, of Newark, Ohio, and 1t is surmlsed
that it may be the same with Mr.. MCMAHON
Tax Collector of Hoboken. 1t Is only fair TO
point out that suspension Of judgment n

The haltiug, eyasive course that the Democrats OF
the Ohio Legislature are now pursuing on the liquor
question will help the Republicans carry the State

occasion for wisdom, Democracy is without a rival.
