the Crosby High License bill was postponed
until this afternoon. Considering the large
Republican majority in the Senate, hearing
ought not to be necessary TO assure the passage
of the bill. Nevertheless, the friends OF the
measure should be prepared to make vigorous
showing in its behalf. 1t is highly probable
that some of its enemies will seek to impcrh
its passage by amendments not intended 10
good faith, as, for instance. to restore the
So 900 maximum and $500 minimum for fuh
LIQUOR licenses. This should be earnestly re-
sisted. To send the bill back to the Assembly
would not only cause serious delay, but would
expose High License legislation to needless
danger. The bill as it stands should 60 through

President Bayles, of the Health Board, has

the rate at which MIR. Bayles is increasing the
red-tape and cast-iron rules which prevail In
his department the public Will soon be unable
to know anything about this important branch
of the citys business. 1t has just come out

should really like to know why it shouldn't be
required to do precisely that. What is the
Health Department for, prayP Mr.. Bayles
may succeed In making himself shor-lived
autocrat and dictator, but he will not succeed
in hoodwinking the public as to his character

CANAL Day 1T albany.

The bill appropnating 100000 for cana
improvements will be considered In botn
houses of the Legislature to-day. The Cana
Committee of the Senate has reported in favor
of the bill. The Canal Committee Of the AS
sembly is divided. The majority report re-
duces the appropriation to s530,OOO, the
minority report continues it at the original fig
ure, 100000 The majority report is
signed by the six Republican members OF the
committee; the minority by the four Demo
cratic members and by Gallagher, OF Erie, who
was elected as Republican but surrendered
the Republican position on High License.
In making I'D their minds what amount they
will vote to the canals this year level-headcd
Republican legislators will do well to remem-
her three things: First-The books in the
Controllers Office show that Of the S550'OOO
appropriated by the last Legislature to improve
the canals large sum still remains unex-
pended "The Albany Express" an advocate
of the milion-dollar bill. endeavors to break
the force of this showing by rcmarking that
"whatever balance still remains In the hands
of the Superintendent of Public Works will be
exhausted with the exception of $4,000 when
the work now in progress on the canals Is COM
DlcUCu." Dun WuO Cdn du"hoiie'N'SAJ o'N~S
when the work will be all completed2 Con-
tracts are not always finished on time. And
In any event, if the Superintendent finds HIM
self with S15 900 in his hands out OF an annual
appropriation of $4,000, why is it not rea-
sonable to conclude that $4,000 or there
abouts is all he can judiciously lay out in
single year? Second-The Superintendent OF
Public Works has in his hands in addition to
this unexpended appropriation nearly $4,000
also appropriated by the last Legislature for
canal bridges, dredging, repairs, etc. If the
Superintendent choose-and he is thorough
going partisan-he can delay the spending OF
this money until the last week of the Presi-
Dental campaign. Third-The bills pending
in the Legislature providing for additional
canal bridges, dredging, ETC., aggregate over
100000 with several localities, that are per-
haps partial to pork themselves. yet to be
heard from.
In view of these large figures is it not the
part of a wise conservatism TO cut down the
milion-dollar appropriation? Does any sd
gacious law-maher believe that if 81 100000
is struck out and S53O,OOO inserted the canals
are going to suffer?
Governor Hill has snubbed the canals in his
messages, treating them with the contempt OF
silence. He declined to sign the bill of last
year appropriating S55O,O00. But has his
party taken occasion TO disapprove of his canal
policy? Oh, no; nevertheless, this being
Presidential and Gubernatorial year, Demo-
Gratis are making strenuous efforts to squeeze
all the money that is possible out Of the pub
lie treasury for the canals. 1t is good time
for Republicans to 90 slow. The canals have
no better friends than those who ask to have
the big appropriation modified.

CITY SALARIES roo HIGH ALREADY
A remarkable feature Of this session Of the
Legislature has been the perSistcncy with
which schemes have been pushed to increase
the salaries of city officials judges and others
who are paid out of the public fund. In no
session for the last fifteen years have there
been such repeated and earnest attempts made
to swell the already lavish salaries paid in the
courts and in the municipal departments.
There is no excuse for this. House rents in
the desirable quarters of NewYork have not
advanced a cent from the rates prevailing
fifteen years ago. The prices of food are lower
now than they were then. Clothing is cheaper.
and every element that enters into the cost OF
comfortable living has decreased in price. This
has been natural result of the resumption of
specie payments, OF the immense number Of
buildings put up on Manhattan Island, of the
keen competition in every branch OF manu-
featuring, and of the remarkable reductions in
rates of transportation which have been made
in the last dozen years. 1t Is amazing that the
public servants Of New-YOrk already more
generously compensated than the members Of
any other public service IN the world, should
have the efTrontery to push schemes at Albany
heavy burden of the taxpayer.
Not one department in the city government
and not one of the courts held on Manhattan
Island is conducted with rigid economy. Ex-
travagancc runs through the whole fabric
The city treasury has been drawn upon not
only lavishly, but with the greatest prodgaity,
in the payment of salaries, and yet the Office
holders are continually trying to get more
The bill before the Legislature TO add to the
enormous expenses Of the Aqueduct Commits
sion by raising the salaries paid there is utterly
without excuse. The proposed act authorizing
the Board Of Estimate and ApportiOnment to
increase the salary Of any head Of municipal
department to $4,000 is also without any
reason or justification. The measure to raise
the salaries Of a number of our already we'll
paid judges ought never to have got fifty-eigbt
votes in the Assembly yesterday Do Assem-
blymen suppose there is no limit to the patience
of the taxpayers Of New-YOr The expense
of our courts is already tremendous burden
which should not be made more severe by a
dollar except on the clearcst demonstration Of
absolute necessity. Assemblymen Crosby and
Hamilton are entitled to credit for their
vigorous opposition to this indcfensiblc meas
IRE. It should not be heard Of again. and all
the bills which remain to be acted on by the
Senate and Assembly proposing in any way to
increase salaries in Ncw-YOrk or Brooklyn
should be defeated. There Is nothing to
justify them.

The season at Coney Island has not yet
opened; but the several thousand people who
went to Brighton Beach yesterday must have
felt well repaid for the trip. They witnessed
q novel sight, the like of which will not soon
be seen again. The big hotel nearly 500 feet
long, is being slowly moved back out of the
reach of the tIeacherOus sea. No such work
was ever taken in hand before. The progress
made yesterday makes the success of the lob
certain 1t was bold thing to undertake but
modern engineering is not daunted by seem
ingly insuperable obstacles.
The State Senate has acted promptly on the
bill appropriating half million dollars for the
CARRYING on of work in the prisons AS soon
as the Governor signs it the conylcts who nave
been passing the time in idleness can resume
their customary employment This appro-
priation was absolutely necessary to meet the
existing emergency. That having been pro-
gided for, the Legislature, If it so chooses, can
proceed to the evolution of a satisfactory sub
stitute for the State account system.
There is little likelihood that the Fisheries
Treaty will be considered in open session. MIR.
Riddlebergers resolution TO that effect was
Committee on Foreign Relations. Only eight
Senators opposed this method of smothering it;
and they were all Republicans. 1t is strange
that those Democrats who profess to believe
that Secretary Bayard won great diplomatic
victory in his negotiations with Mr. Chamber
lain did not jump at the chance TO defend that
"victory'' in public.
Formerly an election for State officers in
Rhode Island created the mildest excitement
within its own borders, but outside Of them
not even the tiniest ripple of interest was
stirred. To-day the eyes of the country are
flxed on this small State. The contest promises
TO be close one. but the chance that the Re-
publicans will regain the asccndancy lost last
year ~ considered good. Our special dispatch
