TIE PROSPECT or LEGISLATIVE hEfOhM.
The necessity for a reform in the methods OIL
LEGISLATION at Albany has long been self-evi'
dent. Under present methods 1t is apparently
impossjble altogether to prevent vicious anu
careless legislation. The introduction and pas
sage of private bills in the closing hours OF the
session. often even without being printed, Is
only one of the many ways in which dishonest
schemes are covered up. This subject usually
attracts attention Just at the time OF the
adjournment of tho Legislature, but is almost
entirely neglected when the canvass opens. IL
is encouraging to see some prospect OF chahso
this year in that respect, as stated In a iee'er
from Albany printed elsewhere in to-days
TRIBUNE.
The recent interviews printed in The TRIBUNE
have awakened so much interest In the SUBJECT
that some of the more experienced legislators
promise to assist in devising plan OF reiiel
which NAV be submitted for the approval OF the
voters. 1t is useless to depend upon legislative
rules. as they are too easily suspended. Expert
ence has shown that they prove no barrier 10
Jobs In the hands of skilful Legislators. There
must be some limit fixed for the introduction OF
any except wholly public measures, and oil
bills ought to be printed, and read on at least
three separate days, as in Pennsylvania. Other
measures of reform will no doubt suggest them
selves to experienced legislators. Much lime Is
now wasted in the discussion and passage OF
local bills which ought to DO relegated TO
Boards of Supervisors.
But no restriction on legislative action will be
fully effective without the choice of honest ana
able legislators. Men who have been tried and
not found wanting should be returned to
Albany. 1t is encouraging, therefore, to learn
that there is a prospect for the reelection OF
men like General Curtis, who did signal service
for the right at Albany last winter. AS to those
members who have been conspicuous in Albany
in opposing Civil Service reform and almost
every other reform to which the Republican
party is pledged they should be left at home
Now is the time when the most effective work
can be done in killing of such would-be candi-
dates. Let every member of the party put aside
selfish aims. and look to the public good, and
there will not be shadow of doubt about carry
ing the State this year. So far the discussion
has been of a character in keeping with such a
purpose 1t will be fortunate if it continues so.

TIE CHOICE OF A MONUMENT SITE.

TIE CHOICE OF A MONUMENT SITE.
Now that the remains OF General Grant are
to rest in New York, the selection oil dell
mite situation for his tomb is matter which
should receive the most careful study. Ii Is
easy enough to name places which are lnappro-
pirate. Throughout the greater portion of Cen
trail Park, for example, the quiet meadow
stretches are especially valuable because of
their contrast with what is formal and arti-
fetal in the surrounding city. 1t is the restful
influence of such relief which justified
the great expense incurred in secur-
ing breadth, Openness and pastoral
repose in the landscape treatment OF the
pleasure ground. OF course the greatest eau
ton must be used in the introduction OF any
architectural elements in such park In its
quiet passages even unpretentiOns structures
may easily be fatal to the spirit of the work
When New-York rears monument to General
Grant we must assume that it will be charac
terized by sufficient strength and dignity to
arrest and hold attention. The simple land
scape would add no impressiveness TO the
monument and the monument would be
distracting and destructive to the
charm and purpose of the landscape. The
plaza at the Fifty -ninth-st. entrance has been
spoken of as a suitable site. This ground was
purchased after the original Park area had
been secured, in order to give some amplitude
and dignity to the principal approach. 1t cost
between 100000 and 100000 and is the
most conspicuous spot the city has to offer.
This vestiDule, too, is formal in its char
acter, and would readily admit of archi-
tectural treatment, and be an appropriate
setting for monumental work. III u
more secluded spot is asked for. there is
the eminence in the northwestern section OF the
Park, which offers many advantages. Here the
roadway sweeping around in circle and the
formal planting distinguish it from the more
purely natural landscapes and noble structure
at this point would not be homogeneous with Its
surroundings Mayor Grace's suggestion of
Riverside was worth considering, but since it
was made the members of General Grants family
have expressed their preference for the Park
This avenue is planned on the grandest scale
and is an appropriate place for memorial works
With its commanding views over the Hudson,
it will doubtless be one of the imposing features
of the future city.
The one thing to guard against now is hasty
action. No final decision should be made with
out consultation with the designers of the Park
and others who are able to judge intelligently
and to give convincing reasons for their conclu-
siOns

nCivil Service Commissioner Schoonmak or Is
correctly reported in The Graphic then he s out of
place in his present Office, and ought to resign. He
says that his conception of the scope and function
of Civil Service reform is that the fitness Of ap-
pointees should be sscertained and certified, but
that the initiative should rest with the chosen rep
resentatves of the people," Ii this means anything
it means that the appointing power should DO al
lowed to use its own discretion, making appoint
ments from those certified as having passed an ex-
animation or not, as 1t secs fit. That such his
meaning seems evident from what follows, as he is
quoted as saying that he doesn't believe In keeping
Republicans in Office under Democratic Admin
istration. IF party is to be held accountable"
he says, it must have power as well as response
bIlty" This certainly looks though the assaults
made by Democrats on this reform were having
such an effect as to turn the heads of those members
of that party who hope for future preferment at its
hands. If the ideas credited to Mr.. Schoonmaker
were carried out Civil Service reform would be
worse than farce. 1t is gradually becoming EVIL
dent that, as Republicans have often claimed, the
only true friends Of the reform are in the ranks Of
the Republican party.
