THE Adirondack AUTHORIZATIONS

TIE ADlRUADICK APPROPRIATIONS.
The Assembly would do we'll to reflect a
little before ndorsing the Scnatc's action IN
giving the Adirondack Commission the extra
money it is reaching after. The sum originally
appropriated was fixed after careful computa-
ton. Fifteen thousand dollars is enough for
any commission to begin with; it is ali that
cautious men who realize the nature of their
trust would care to use until study, experience
aud the best of counsel had given them some
mastery Of the difficult and delicate problems
involved. The field is untrodden, and it is Of
prime importance that the first American eX-
pertinent in preserving a considerable tract OF
forest land should begin right, and that means
beyond question that it should begin dcliber-
ately and cautiously This would be true of an
ideal commission like the one which framed
the report more than year ago. 1t Is dOubly
tue Of nnuied men who have yet 10 demon
strate their capacity, and whose prepOStcrOus
schemes Of tree-panting ut this stage Of their
administration, not to speak of inflated notions
as to the need of lawyers and woOd-rangcrs, are
not calculated to inspire public confidence.
An establishment of this sort is not likely to
diminish It's expenses from year to year, and
nothing will more eilectually disgust the
people of the tate with the whole matter than
lavish annual appropriations with small visible
results And since ultimate success rests upon
a cordial popular approval, extravaganza at the
outset is to be deplored as menace TO the
Reservation. 1t would not be difficult to spend
the $4,000 asked for and a good many
thousand more Ii would be easy to organize
band of alleged fOresters who could make
- -,
field of legitimate forestry. The people, how
ever, have bat single interest in this matter
and no outside ambitions. That interest will
be best subserved by limiting the commission
to the amount actually needed for properly
beginning the conservative work On what is to
be the States possession forever.

The Senate Railroad Committee did not de-
velop many facts of Importance yesterday be-
yond showing that the business methods OF
ex-Alderman Duffy and his partner, Mcguire,
the ex-Park policeman, are much like Jacob
Sharp's. They kept no bank books, and no
checks. They handled bills mostly. There
is only one inference to be drawn from
Maguirc's statements by honest men. The dis
cOvery of ex-Aldermen Dempsey and Miller at
Palatka, Fla, by a correspondent of the Com
mcrcjdl Advertiser. however, made the dlScios-
ures of the day interesting. OF course ii has
been known that Miller and Dempsey were in
the South but it was not supposed their
general conduct was as suspicious as 1t Is re-
ported to be. Innocent men do not DENY Old
acquaintances nor get nervous at seeing them ;
nor deny having seen one another when they
have just parted; nor register under raise
names; nor in general act rs if they had COM
mittcd crimes and feared arrest Both
Miller and Dempsey declare that they are
not guilty of any wrong-doing in connection
with the Broadway franchise; but unfortn-
natcly they show no disposition to say so to
the Senate Committee

Silver is highly desirable coin, and tho nation

If it be true that the State would have no juris-

upon exclusively Federal soil within the limits of

granted it, The idea that knave can commit

Nh Powercan hardly have seriously expected
that his bill to give elevated railroads the right
to run their structures to the ferries would get
through the Legislature-when its meaning
was made clear. If it should become a law, the
lower part of tins city would be literally grid
ironed with elevated roads. The public is not
raising many objections to the elevated roads
at present, but we have not heard any loud
demand that more franchises and privileges
shall be given to them. What President Cole
man said to the Board of Estimate and Appor-
tionment yesterday on this point was entirely
correct.

In our foreign news this morning will be
found some interesting comments on English
politics sent by Mr. Henry Labouchere. He
takes decidedly radical view of the situation
and says among other things that the recent
large minority in the Commons in favor of his
resolution against the House of Lords did not
adequately measure the feeling in the Radical
party. We should suppose that the minority
certainly misrepresented English Radicals to
the extent of the eighty Irish votes. 1t will not
be denied, however, that the Radicals have a grip
on the politics of the British Nation likely to
make the House of Lords more uncomfortable
every year.

There is an elasticity about the Civil Service
law in Democratic hands compared with which
India rubber is as unbcnding as steel. \ strik-
ing illustration Of this curious fact is furnished
in the case of b. +. Doyle, just appointed to a
place in the Treasury Department by Mr., Man
ming. Under Civil Service rules Doyle should
have served SIX months on probation III the
grade he was appointed to +; but thanks to the
influence Of the Democratic Senators from
Tennessee. the Secretary within a few days
after DOyles appointment became convinced
of his superior merit and promoted him two
grades over the heads of old employees. That
was worth 5000 year to the lucky clerk. The
Civil Service Commissioners will doubtless look
into this matter if only for the sake of appear

There is much truth in what Mr.. Peck,
Commissioner of the Statistics of Labor, has to
say about the street railroads of this city and
Brooklyn. Their managers certainly have
shown little consideration toward their en-
plOyes in the past, and are only showing more
now because they have been forced to do 50.
No New Yorker, unless, perhaps, he is stock
holder In the road, will deny that these cOrpo-
ratiOns have been hard" "ayaricious and
that the discipline they have forced the men to
submit to has been too strict. But MIR. Peck's
style is so lurid and he 50 calmly INDUCES in
personal abuse of individuals that his cOmmu-
nicatOn will be less effective in the Legislature,
we fear, than he hoped it would be. Its force
is also much broken coming as 1t does just
after the employees of these corporations have

themselves satisfied with their pay and their

THE CRUEL AVE

A Number of the Passengers and Crew of
tho Steamer Idlewild Drowned in the Re
cent Storm on the Atlantic.
New York, March There is no longer
any doubt that the boat containing eleven
OF the passengers and crew OF the steamer
~ldlewild, which went onthe rocks off Siam
ford on Friday morning, has gone to the
bottom OF the sound. After the Idle
wild struck and the people on her
had been got into the life-boats
they were warm ed by Captain Clark that
they were not to leave the vessels side
until ordered to do SO. One OF the boats
needed this warning, but the other did not.
When Van Wart and the mate went tolook
after the second boat they found that it
was gone. The sound OF voices in thedark-
nees showed that the boat was not far off,
and Captain Van Wart called out
to the men in it to return to
the steamer. A confused answer came
back from the boat. The words
could not be distinguished above the roar
and shrieking Of the gale. The sounds be-
came more and more lndistinct, and pres
emily We're lost altogether. The reports
variously place the number OF passengers
in this bout at from seven to eleven, all
men. Nothing has been seen or heard OF
this boat or its load OF passengers since it
left the vessels side. The sound at this
point is ten miles wide. There is no doubt
that every one in the boat has persisted.
