GIYE US 4 SHORT SESSION.

The people of this State are partial to short
sessions of the Legislature. Other things being
equal, Legislature that adjourns sine die the
middle of April holds higher place in their re-
gard than one which fingers month later.
We commend this general proposition to the
present Legislature. February has come, but
as yet neither House has any considerable prog
ress to report in any direction. large num-
Der of bills have been introduced, but very few
have been disposed of. The present outlook
does not encourage the expectation of a short
session. There are too many adjournments.
Too little time is afforded for committee work.
SO long as the rule Of weekly vacations from
Friday noon until Monday evening is main
tanned it is idle to expect to see business dis
patched. Why not abolish, or at least modify,
the rule
The Republicans are in the majority in both
the Senate and Assembly. Consequently they
" i'll be held responsible for the character and
significance of the session. And next fall an i'm
portant election takes place whose result will
depend in no small degree on the popular
verdict touching this Legislature.

90 TUCKER BURIES THE PAST.

Congressional eulogies, while ordinarily dull
and commonplace, seldom display downright
bad taste. The speeches following the official
announcement of Senator Anthony's death were
for the most part sincere, hearty and graceful
tributes to a conspicuous legislator, whose pub
lie and private virtues had been generally
recognized by the press of both political parties.
There was one exception. The Hon. j. Ran
dolph Tucker had the bad taste to make use of
the occasion for squaring accounts between
loyalty and treason. lie condescended to for
give Senator Anthony for promoting the elec-
ton Of Mr. Lincoln in 1860, for vigorously sup
porting every measure for the prosecution of
the War for the Union, and for sustaining the
Reconstruction acts and remaining until death
consistent and aggressive Republican. lie not
only fOrgave but forgot. For myself" he ex-

THE DYNA MITE SUSPECT

The London police have succeeded in collect
ing considerable evidence against Cunningham,
the alleged dynamiteur. He is stated to have
arrived in England last November after living
in the United States for several years, and the
detectives expect to connect him positively with
the recent attempts to destroy life and prop
erty in London. IL the evidence of guilt be
conclusive, he ill not deserve any mercy from
an English jury, and certainly will get none
But as the case is reported in the cable dis
patches the evidence lis incomplete, and even
the mysterious American frank Is not traced
to him, much less shown to have been tightly
packed with American or English or French ex-
plosives'
1t is quite unnecessary to add that if the de-
tectives follow up their disclosures with more
conclusive testimony right minded Americans
will not squander sympathy upon n convicted
dynamitcur. If he prove to be- naturalized
American citizen. this will not Affect bis re-
sponsibilty for his crimes before the English
courts, nor modify in any respect tho feeling
of abhoueEce with which outrages against the
common law of civilization are regarded in this
country. An American citizen charged with
committing penal offence in England is
entitled to the same rights and privileges which

The election of Ex-Governor Leland Stanford
to the United States Senate is received by the
California press generally with expressions Of
satisfaction so marked and apparently sincere
that tho event my perhaps be regarded as
ending the long ant-raroad war in that state
1t is certainly remarkable that many Journals
which have for years denounced the corporation
of which Governor Stanford is the head have
expressed approval Of tho recent choice OF the
State Legislature.
If so singular an unanmity of sentiment does
not really indicate the subsistence of the old
feeling of hostility toward the railroad COM
pany. it must betolen n confidence in the per-
sona integrity and capacity OF Governor
Stanford so universal and genuine rs to be very
complimentary to him. In either case the COM

was received with many demonstrations OF mp

patriots of his day; and they added that "what

MIR. Michael Kane, who has been convicted
several times for maintaining manure heap
at the foot of East Forty -sxth-st., should have
great regard for the law. 1t deals so tenderly
with him His sentence was postponed a month
ago to give him chance to remove the
nuisance but yesterday his time was up. and
the authorities not being able to decide whether
the nuisance had been removed, again gave Mr..
Kane the benefit of the doubt. No one can say
Justice in this case has not been tempered with
mercy.
A lot of Socialists headed by Justus Schwab,
the most worthless of them all, succeeded last
night in attracting the attention of the police
They captured meeting of more moderate
Socialists in Avenue-A, who HAD met to
protest against dynamite Outrages, and small
riot ensued Later Schwab was arrested.
Everybody will be glad if the mans mouth can
be closed He should get all the law can give
him for melting riot but care should be
taken to prevent his trial in the police court
from assuming the appearance of a political
persecution.
A resolution that deserves consideration was
introduced in the Assembly yesterday. 1t calls
upon the President of the United States to ne
eotiate another extraditiOn treaty with Canada,
TO cover the cases of fugitive fnanciers from
this side of the St. Lawrence which the present
convention does not include. Canada ought
not to be unwilling to agree to convention
which would save her from being an asylum
for a peculiarly disreputable lot of criminals,
and, of course, it would be an excellent thing
for the business morals of this country if dis
honest men could not count upon flight to the
Dominion.
The police ought to be on their metl C i'll
regard to the Grand-st. explosion. 1t has been
their opinion that the English detectives are a
lot of stupid fellows because they have not
captured more dynamite conspirators. Now
Inspector Byrnes's men are on trial. The proba-
bilities are that the explosion which harmed
Ridley's and Garry Brothers stores was the
work of one or two worthless rufians and that
1t was neither known nor sanctioned by any
trades union. For this reason the problem pre-
sented for the New-Yo detectives should be
much easier of solution than the dynamite mys-
teries of London. Yet all the arrests the police
have made thus far have amounted to nothing,
and their assertions as TO what they can do are
positive but indefinite
There seems to be a good chance now for the
authorities to get at the bottom of somewhat
common abuse. Whenever legislation is pro-
posed at Albany for the benefit of any class OF
New-York City employees, rumors always go
flying about in regard to assessments made on
persons to be benefited to push the bill
through. That was said in regard to the mea-
sure passed last winter to increase the pay OF

There ore several views which tits possible
to take of the shooting of O'Donoyan hossa.
Incredulous people will be apt to see In It an
effort on the agitators part TO advertise
himself and his paper. Others will suspectth IL
is the result of relations having nothing to 90
with dynamite, politics or the freedom of Ire
land; while Rosa and his friends assert posi-
lively that he is the victim of English hate.
The story the wounded man tells, of course
sustains this last view. The woman says quietly
that she shot him because he is UDonovan
Rossa." That might mean several things.
Moreover, she is as calm as an oyster; and II
she really wanted to kill him she ought
to have been able to do more than wound him
slightly in the course of five shots at close quar-
ters But in no case is there likely to be much
sympathy for the victim. He has been preach
ing doctrines of assassination for years, and IL
is certainly not surprising, however much the
friends of law aad order may regret 1t, that
some one should take him at his word.
