When Mr.. Randall warned his Democratic
friends that the dividing up of the appropr'a-
ton bills among different committees would
lead to extravaganza, they did not heed nm.
Yet Mr.. Randall was no false prophet. Beng
now in possession of the Administration, the
Democratic party is unwilling to practise econ
omy at the expense of its own officials ana
each Representative tries his best to put Dig
item in the appropriation bills; and under
the present House rules does it. The re-
suit is that the total of this years appro-
priations will be enormous. TO legitimate
expenses the Republican party has never
objected. The Republicans always favored
liberal votes of money when they ruled,
SO that the Government might be decent
ly carried on but the Democrats continually
charged them with extravaganza and declared
that when they came into power they would
shov the Nation what economy was. Well, they
are doing it-just about as much as we expected
they would, and as letter from The TRIB-
uNE's Wasbl gton correspondent shows.

OIL on TROTBLED UIIERH.

Lieutenant George l.. Dyer has compiled. and the
United States photographic Office has published,
a considerable number of Instances Of the bcne-
fetal use of oil IN qIiotlng heavy seas. The eX
periments with OIL at sea extend back many years
but though the only case of failure recorded SEEM
| to have been an attempt to deal with breakers
near the mouth of an English harbor, and
though the result of the experiments at seas
has been IN every ease decidedly sue
cessfal. scientific landlubbers continue to deny
the facts and to argue against the possibility of
that which five hundred captains know has
been done Since DE- Lardner wrote pamDhlet 10
prove that steam vessel could not possibly cross
the Atlantic. this kind of scientific fltuousness has
had plenty of less striking illustrations. In the
present case the attempt to rIdIcule the
statements make by those who speak from
actual knowlcdge is not moro reasonable
then usual. There is nothing inherently
improbable III the alleged facts. On the contrary.

people is such as TO give antecedent probability to

What it does il 20 duse over the surface coating

And since III gale at the dan ger IS never from
the height or size of the waves but from the break

follows that the of OIL increases the safety of
the ship by converting broken water into harm

doubt that these experiments will lead to the gen.

the effects of oil upon trouble waters it Is remark
able that 1t has not been tested before.

pPFSsJNG DUIIEs 1T 1LBANY.

PRESSING DUIIES dI ALBANY.
The Legislature in IFS last week can easily do
three pieces of work that will benefit this city
greatly. 1t can pass the bill providing for the
election OF the Board Of Aldermen on general
ticket with system of cumulative voting that
will secure proper minority representation.
As now amended, with the minority representa-
ton clause, this bill has everything to commend
it. The chaiacte of our Boards of Aldermen
would be completely changed by its workings.
and upright citizens would then esteem it an
honor to sit in the local legislative body. Re
ceivers of stolen goods and bribe-takcrs of the
Jachne type would no longer sell their votes
beneath the feet of the statue which crowns the
City Hall.
Another reform of urgent importance that
the Legislature should carry through without
delay is the settlement of our Excise complica-
tons. proper and sensible way out of the
present difficulties would be to put the appoint
ment of Excise Commissioners in the hands Of
the Board of Estimate and Apportionment. NO
one has yet suggested any objection TO this
plan. The members of the Board are neces-
salily familiar with the needs and interests of
every municipal department, and hold frequent
meetings to decide department questions. Some
people oppose the notion of giving these ap-
pointments to board composed of Judges, on
the ground that the judiciary would thus to a
certain extent be brought INTO rolitics. The
Board of Apport0nment may fairly be expected
to make satisfactory selections. The scheme to
give this power to President Mooney is now
known to be SO rotten in every part that no
honest legislator can afford TO touch it.
The bill limiting Imprisonment in civil actions
should be made law. 1t is not sufficiently
sweeping, for the whole pernicious system under
which prisoners languish in Ludlow Street Jail
for years because OF thci failure to pay claims
and judgments against them should be ab0l-
isbed. 1t has been used again and again for
purposes of oppression and outrage. Cruel and
unusual punshments are forbidden by the writ
ten law and the unwItten sentiment OF civil
lied communities but New-Yoik still retains
system under which men are imprisoned for an
indefinite number of years Tor offences so slight
that no one ventures to ask a Grand Jury To
base indictments upon them. Break up this
imprisonment for debt system. 1t may not be
wholly destroyed at this session, but by the bill
now before the Legislature its evils and abuses
will be greatly curtailed. Sheriff Grants bill
TO make the pay of deputies at Ludlow Street
Jail a charge the taxpayers should be
promptly Iodden under foot. Any Sheriff who
asks the Legislature to increase the already in
ordinate profits of his Office will make poor
run for Mayor if he ever goes before the voters
again for that Office.

would be about even. For although Bostons

Great credit for the speedy trial of Jaehne is due
to Judge Barrett. He would take excuses for
delay and held court for twelve hours day with
only short reccsses. 1t is to be hoped that he will
be on the bench when the other Aldermen are
brought 10 The bar.

The master-builders of st. Louis have organized
for mutual protection, and have resolved tn submit
to no dictation to whom they shall employ or
where they shall buy their material. Unions of
this kind are the inevitable result of frequent
strikes and boycotts, and perhaps they may
vince the ad, coates of violent measures that the
hostile aud coerciye policy only forces labor aud
capital further apart, and tends to prevent any
satisfactory adjustment between them

THE TRIBUNE recently directed attention TO
the significant fact that whereas the items which
Governor Hill struck out of a Republican supply
bill aggregated only about $1,000 his immediate
predecessor. Governor Cleveland had felt called
upon to veto items in Democratic supply bill ag-
gregating over a quarter of million dollars. Ii
remains to be noted that since acting the supply
bill Governor Hill has confessed that he vetoed one
of the largest items which went to mako up this
1000 through a misapprehenson. The item in
question called for s2O, 900 to build wall around
Clinton Prison and bull has been passed restoring
the appropriation. This leaves the items dsap-
proved of 20 aggregate about $4,000 1t is doub!-
