Senator Thomas's four years experience as a
member of the State Legislature has convinced
him of the need of legislative reform, ana lie
gives his views on the subject IN to-day nin-
UNE. His suggestion that it might be wei 70
take from the Governor his veto power, ana
lodge it in a small number of Senators to De
chosen with that end in view, will hardly strike
a popular chord. The Governor can now
easily be held responsible for his exercise
of the veto power, but if it were
lodced in the hands of twelve men 1t
would be difficult to fix responsibility. Be-
sides. If the members of the Legislature per-
form their duty, and send bills to the Governor
in time they can now review his acts and over
ride unjust vetoes. The great demand for ZEE,
islotive reform has arisen from the neglect OF
ths Legislature in this matter. One thing IN
which all agree, including Senator Thomas Is
a change in methods that will prevent the pas
sage without sufficient deliberation OF three or
four hundred bills in the closing days OF ses-
sion

We have not believed the recent rlnors that
Mr.. Tilden is dissatisfied with the present Adj
ministration but it begins to look as If there
might be some truth in the story. Heretofore
" nrominent New-York Democrats friends of
Mr.. Cleveland, have always spoken with the
highest respect of the Sage of Greystonej but
now some of them are denouncing HIM as
absolutely incapacitated mentally, for giving
any attention to the policy of the President"
This is, we are panied to say, just the way
"prominent New-York Democrats would
talk if Mr. Tilden actually had made the Ad-
ministration unhappy by his whispered criti-
cisms.

Attention is called to the fact that nothing is
doing to protect this State and city from the
introduction of smallpox from Montreal. Our
State Board of Health, unfortunately, is greatly
hampered in its work by Governor Hills re-
fusal last spring to sanction emergency
appropriations for its benefit; but II it
cannot of itself attend TO this matter, aid might
be asked of the Federal Government. Michi-
gan has already arranged assistance under the
direction of the Marine Hospital Service corps,
and there is no reason why New-York should
not get help from the same quarter. IL Is
humiliating that VIC should have to ask for
this but Governor Hill does not seem to have
left the State any other alternative.

l. is now more than fortnight since General
Grant was buried, and the policemen must be
nearly. if not quite, recovered from the fatigue
incident to their great labors in preserving
order on that occasion. We are good deal
disappointed, therefore, that nothing special
was done yesterday to enforce the Excise law.
Nobody had any trouble in getting liquor of
all kinds in any part of the city. excepting per-
haps one precinct. Soon after Mr.. Murray be-
came Superintendent 1t was announced that
Sunday liquor selling would be stopped-and it
was stopped for one day. We cannot under
stand the present police inactivity, unless it is
that the new Superintendent is waiting pa
tiently to see who of his subordinates are able
to do their duty without being forced to il by
constant threats Police captains might be
wise to reflect about this.

Mr.. Chamberlain, the wcll-known English
politician, trains with the Liberals; but he is
one of the most advanced Radicals now promi-
neDt in British affairs, If not the most adj
vanced. Owing to his influence his ideas are
the ones most likely to be presently pushed
upon the British public and Parliament. They
are equally hateful to most Liberals and Tories
alike. and the political future of England there
fore cannot be properly considered without a
full knowledge of Mr.. Chamberlain's ideas
These are carefully and fully expressed in Mr..
Smalley's letter TO THE TRIBUNE this morn :
ing. 1t will be seen that it would take hair
splitting thinker to define the difference be-
tween Mr.. Chamberlain and an average Com
munist; except that most Communists are poor,
while Mr. Chamberlain is very rich and devoted
to the cultivation Of orchids.

Exports of American staples are still
running far ahead of the figures of
twelve months ago. During the week
ended January 10 the value of bread
stuffs and cotton alone, exported from
the Atlantic and Gulf ports, was So.
300, 900 greater than for the same week
of 1884, a rate of increase equal to about
$12O, 900, 900 ayear. On the other hand
there is a considerable decrease in our
imports. The times are not favorable
for the expenditure of the usual amount
Of money for foreign silks, laces, wines
and gawgaws generally.

Debates in executive sessions of the
Senate are held with closed doors, and
eve appear in the Congressional Rec
cord. But it has leaked out hat SEN
ator Edmunds of Vermont in executive
session made a ringing speech in favor
of building the proposed Nicaragua
canal without asking England's con-
sent. The policy of conducting further
negotiations respecting the Clayton
Bulwer treaty-of crawling on the
ground at her feet, to avoid inviting the
hostility of her High Mightiuess-he
justly characterized as "the diplomacy
Of fear" and declared that although
complications abroad appear to be al.
most inevitable, we should take a firm
and decided stand at once.

The people Of Northern Georgia are
greatly excited over the discovery of
riches in the Cohuttan Mountains al
most as fabulous as those found by
Aladdin, whose story is told in the
arabian Nights" As the tale runs a
party Of Boston scientists have found a
vein, yielding gold and silver, which is
more than 1900 feet wide, and runs
clear through the mountain, a distance
of eight or nine miles. A test of the
metals have been made and the assay
is said to show so per cent. and over.
Ia making their report on the dlscoy-
cry the scientists declare that the mines
will be worth more to Georgia than all
Of her manufacturing industries. It is
possible that the story is all true, but
such stories Of wealth must be taken
with many grains Of allowance. "AlI
is not gold that g~litters."

English Judges, as we'll as statesmen
are proverbially long-lived, especially
Judges. No less than four English
Judges are still actively pursuing their
judicial labors after attaining the age
of fourscore years. They are Vice
Chancellor Bacon, who is in his 87th
Judge Petersdorff, in his S5th; Judge
Hutton, in his SD; and Judge Bayley,
of the Westminster County Court, also
in his SD year. There are many other
judges who are verging towards the
ages Of those named.

SUMMARY OF NEWS OF THE WEEK.
tt. Most Brilliant Surgical Operation.

New York Special; The most brilliant sur
gical case yet recorded is all operation recent
" performed 1.-THE Chambers Street hospital
In this case precedent was openly detied and
the attending surgeons saved q human life and
performed an operation of a kind that never
before had been attended with success. One
McElroy was shot, the ball stopping at some
point within the abdominal cavity. A consul
tation was held, and it was determined that
death would speedily ensue unless relief Was
afforded in some manner and heroic treat
ment was decided upon. Within twenty hours
after being shot McElroy was transferred
to the operating table. Elaborate precau-
lions were taken to prevent the introduction
OF disease germs into the wound. An inclslon
was made into the abdominal cavity and the
entire lntestiHes gradually taken ont. The
bullet was found in the last section and re-
moved. 1t was found to have penetrated the
intestines in several places. The operation
lasted two hours. AS soon as food could be
given properly, McElroy gained strength and
went out of the hospital for the first time on
Christmas day, less than two months from the
time he was injured, and about a week after
which he was discharged cured. The success
OF the operation is considered q great triumph
in surgical science,

Aside from recognition that in tiie
past our national policy of avoidance O
ertangling alliances with foreign powers
has been wise, there are in sight to-day
many facts which tend to strengthen the
belief hat the people Of the United
States viii be happier and richer, botn
in the near future and in all time 20
come, If no departure from our trad.
tional policy OF national independence
is now co~untenanced, either by the pee.
pie or their representatives. There =
undoubtedly a strong desire in the MINDS
of many to have this nation take 2
prominent part in the councils o.
nations, but this desire should be check
ed rather than encouraged. The doc
trine OF Washington's farewell address
TO his countrymen is just as sound now
and just rs applicable to the present
situation Of affairs as il was nearly =
hundred years age.

vicious dog. The dog in question is n
large, line-looking New Foundland, and
plays with the children Of the neighbor-
hood where MIR. Vernon lives, on Garden
street, near Nueva street. Yesterday
morning, u Mrs. Koenig was passing the
house, however, with n market basket.
and the dog jumped upol her and bit her
in the arm ard shoulder and greatly
frightened her. Mrs. Rubino testified
that the same dog had once jumped upon
her and attempted to bite her, and
greatly frightened her. Colonel j. IL.
McLeary represented the defendant, and
Introduced evidence to prove the char
acter of the dog, which, however, was
not of such character as to prevent the
imposing OF fine Of 50 on Mr.. Vernon
for keeping the vicious dog, and the
admontion to keep the dog restrained
