It's significant fact that nearly all of the

GOVERNOR MIL And TIE WORkINGN1N
The bill which provided for continuing work
on the Capitol is dead. 1t was passed'b 'by Re-
publican Legislature II was killed by Demo-
cratic Governor. David B. Hill killed it with
his Veto The result is that operations on that
great building are brought to a standstil and
that hundreds of wOrllingmen who have been
drawn to Albany from all parts of the State are
thrown out of employment at n time when
New York, being practically free from debt. is in
IA position t. afford all the money which may be
required to finish the Capitol.
In the light of this veto the laboring men who
gave their votes to Mr.. Hill last November
under the impression that he was-what he pro-
fuse!y pretended to bc-thcir friend and cham
pion, can read their mistake. They see that
he has been fooing them; that his protessed
devotion to their welfare is an arrant sham.
They find that he vetoed the Capitol bill not
under the cOustraint of sDmc great wholesome
principle but for fear that if he approved it the
Democratic party would lose some patronage.
They find, in other words, that Hill sacrificed
the men employed on the Capitol, most OF whom
have families depending upon them for sup
port, at the beck of selfish partisanshp.
One of Mr.. HIlrs Democratic predecessors,
Governor Robin son, held that the New Capitol
was a public calamity and in his message to the
Legislature in 1879 he urged that all appro-
priations should be temporarily stopped to the
end that before voting any more millions it
"may be understood fOI hat end the are eX-
"pended and whether the completion of the
"brilding cannot be secured N some less ex-
"travagant and ostentatious style" Thousands
of Governor Roblusons citizens, without re-
gard to party. said "Amenn to him when he
thus expressed himself and are of the same
mind to-day. But David b. Hill Is not one of
them. If he had taken his stand with Gov
ernor Robinson he might succeed in explaining
his veto so as to retain the confidence of the
wOrkingmcn. But the fact is, he is on record
as favorng Il speedy completion Of the build
ing. In his message to the Legislature in 1880
he wrote: rhe policy which only provides for
81 the continuance Of so important public work
for a little over six months in the year is
maniiestly an rnwise one ard contrary TO all
business principles. 1t is IN the interest of
true economy that the Capitol should b. com
"pleted at tue earliest possible date"
According to present appearances no apprO-
priation for the Capitol is likely to be made at
this session. For the Governor not only vetoed
the bill sent to him by a Republican Legislature,
but did 50 IL language which could scarcely
have been more offensive If it had been en-
ployed with the desigu of preventing any COM
promise. The failure to continue work must
necessarily prove a sore hardship to the men
who are set adrft. They can charge their dis
tress to the account of Governor Hill

Sarcastic remarks about the instability OF ke-

points out that although our form OF govern

more like what it was hundred years ago than

LORD H1RTINI TON AND Mr.. BRICHT
Lord Harrington is less fortunate than Mr..
Chamberlain. In addressing his own cOnstitn-
ents in Lancashire he has failed to obtain their
undivided support. Birmingham through
represent atives of its seven electoral divisions
spoke with one voice in expressing confidence
in Mr.. Chamberlain, but Rossendae has re-
ceived the Whig leader with marked GOODNESS,
with Interruptions and hostile demonstrations.
This contrast in the attitude of the two con-
stituencies is to be attributed mainly to the fact
that there is no possibility of compromise be-
tween Lord Harrington and Nh. Gladstone,
whereas Mr.. Chamberlain processes to be
anxious to vote for the Irish measures, provided
certain notifications of principle and method
can be effected. Mr. Chamberlain has not
ceased to be a Liberal he has no intention of
taking Office in Coalition Ministry and there
is no probability OF lis identifying his political
fortunes with those of the Conservative party.
Lord Hartingtons constituents do not know
where they will be likely to find him in the
future lie disclaims any fixed pa pose of act
ing with the Tories, and protests that lie is only
aiming to create an independent party with the
assistance of Liberal opponents of Home Rule.
But nothing can be clearer than the necessity
for forming Coalition Ministry if the Govern
ment be defeated in its Irish policy. Lord
Harrington will have to form Wing Conserva-
tive alliance, if he succeeds in rallying about
him sulii cient number Of Liberal deserters To
compass the rel ction of Mr.. Gladstone's bills.
His constituents evidently consider that he has
ceased TO be a representative leader of Liberal
opinion.
