THE DEMOCKACY AAD QtAEANIINE RE-
EORM

One of the leading reform bills now pending
in the Legislature at Albany relates to The
Quarantine establishment. 1t provides, as our
readers know, for reduction Of fees and 1t
limits the salary of the Health officer to
$4,000 This excellent measure passed the
Senate few weeks ago, and on Tuesday last
was ordered TO third reading in the Assem-
bly,. Hence, unless Governor Hill finds or
makes an excuse for vetOing IT, II Is pretty
Certain to become law and that, too, ut an
early date.
Mr.. Shcchan, the Democratic leader OF the
Assembly tells THE TRIBUNE correspondent
that he and his follow Democrats of that body
will vote for the bill when it comes up for It's
final reading. Very likely. Finding that
quarantine reform is certain to be brought
about-the Republics in both branches of tho
Legislature having the disposition and The
power TO bring it about-it naturally occurs
TO the minority members that they might as
well support the measure. since they arc not
able to defeat it. The manufacture OF GER
tam low brand Of virtue from stern necessity
is not uncommon. Unfortunately, however,
for Mr. Sheehan and his compatriots OF the
minority, during the progress OF the Dill
through the two Houses they made record
which warrants the suspicion that they would
not be found favoring quarantine reform II
they were strong enough to kill it. Let us
see. Such organs of the Democracy as The
Albany Argus and "The Ncw-York Timcs'
greeted the Introduction Of the measure with
sncers and cold water. When a motion was
made in the Senate Committee. TO which it
was referred to report it, the Democratic mem
bers Of the committee objected. When it
reached the Assembly motion to consider ii
vas resisted by Democrat. When it came
IN in the committee Of the whole OF the AS
semby on Tuesday. Mr.. Shechan was ready
with an unimpoItant amendment which. had
il prevailed. would have materially delayed
the progress Of the bill by making necessary
its return to the Senate That Is the Demo
cratic record on this measure, and if Demo
cratic Asscmblymcn now turn around and vote
to pass it, they can properly be regarded mere
Il as more or less gracefully accepting the in
cvitable. They cannot be regarded rs q,Iaran-
tine reformcrs. although their party has been
for quarantine reform, in tho innocuous alb
stract. these many years Governor Hill has
also made the same sort Of a record on this
bill Il is known that after it was introduced
he cndeavorcd to arrange deal which looked
to the continuance Of the existing slate OF
things at quarantine.
Vote for the bill by all means, Mr.. Shcchan,
and get your Democratic associates to join
you. But do not imagine that the public is
deceived touching the attitude Of your side Of
the Legislature on quarantine reform.

The only way to make materials permanently
cheap. in "A country whose demands exceed q
quarter and in some products third OF INC
worlds entire production, is to defend, encour-
age and promote home production of materials.
This bill has economic or patriotic object;
il is simply and merely political trick to catch
free trade votes and the contributions OF Free
Traders to 4 campaign fund.
This becomes the more plain when it is CON
sidcred that the measure has been cOntriyed IN
a way which men would never have adopted
who wanted to pass beneficial measure for
the country, measure helpful TO its industries,
measure free from mistakes, measure salts
factory to the majority of the people. The
Democrats of the committee have taken pains
to insult the minority by dcprving it of all

rules of the House, the whole committee was
assigned The towering indignation OF the
veteran Judge Kelley shows how little such
treatment is calculated to promote the passage
of any measure The Democratic Dark Lantern
bill was not "riggcd in the dark" with anN
expectation that it would escape defeat, and
it's friends may be sure that the opposition it
will meet in the House and the country will be
such as an unpatriotic and purely partisan
measure, on question vitality affecting the
industries Of the people and The prosperity OF
the Nation. richly deserves.

ANOTHER POLITICAL TARIFF

The Dark Lantern tariff bill, which was
secretly concocted in sublcnancan cavcrns
somewhere underneath the House Of Repre-
scntatiycs, is said to be "a conservative onc,r
because it "paccs on the free list raw ma
tcrials Of every kind and nature" In the same
breath il is stated that " the duties on coal and
iron ore are not to be changed because tho
Southern States rich III iron ore, protested
against any reduction. But the Nolthern
States. rich in wool, also protested against re-
moval of wool duties, and their protest was
treated with contempt. The Northern States.
,ich in lumber salt, flax and stone, protested,
lnt i'm vain The production on pig iron is
very slight,r from So 72 to So per ton, because
New-Jcrscy and some Southern States pro-
tested against reduction. But "theFe will be
a cut of not less than So or more than 81 on
steel rails" with 80 per cent reduction on win
dow glass; II l-2 per cent on carthenware,
and large reduction on textile products.
Clearly. there is no occasion at the outset 10
consider the details Of the bill any further.
This is a political tariff. 1t is not framed
with any desire whatever to benefit the ooun-
try, for the only principles upon which a re-
ducton of duty on wool can be justified are
fatty disrcgarded when a Democratic Southern
State objects that it would cost votes to apply
those principles to iron ore or coal. 1t is not
bill to help the consumers. for the friends Ct
this measure have inccssantly declared that
wool has been and must be cheaper with high
duties than with nc. duties. Neither is it

profound observation that "nO American IN
dustry is I'M danger from the action OF this
House, is probably true. That is to say, hrs
party's dark lantern conspiracy to ruin all
American industries will be ANONYMOUSLY de-
fcated. Mr.. Mills says he will consent to let

Means Committee take look at his Dill To-

Mr. Elkins is firm believer in the industrial
future of the South. In his striking speech
at Wheeling be asserts that the tides of immi-
grafton and population, which for eighty years
have been moving westward, sweeping past
one frontier after another and breaking against
the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific, are now
setting in toward West Virginia and the South

with the development OF mines ana sgn0u'-

banding this theme that we suspect that his
West Virginia auditors are already convinced

lation will lie in their own mountains and val

the H.CH LICEASE FOIE.

Tho vote on the motion to make the High
License bill a special order in the Assembly
leaves no room for further doubts as 10 the
actual situation of affairs. The Democrats
unanimously opposed the motion. The only
votes cast for it were those of Republicans.
The bill becomes party measure, not by
caucus decree, but by the force of circum-
stances by the opposition it excitcs as much
as by the support it receives
But unfortunately it did not command ycstcr-
day the undivided party vote. We say moth
ing of the fourteen Republicans who did not
vote 1t is usually difficult to distinguish be-
tween those who are properly absent and those
who dodge. But there is no room for doubt
concerning the attitude Of the five Republicans
who voted with the Democrats yesterday
against the motion. They were:
George Beatty, jr., of Oneida.
H.. Donaldson. Of Saratoga.
Edward Gallagher, Of Erie.
Il. T.. Morgan, Of NeW-fOrk.
John ReiiZ, Of Kings.
II these men stand with the Democratic
party in defence of the saloons against the
efforts of the Republican party to restrict them.
we want their constituents to know ii. They
were elected as Republicans. IL they arc
really Democrats, and saloon representatives,
we want that thoroughly understood before the
next election. We hope the constituents of
these men will let them know, by mail and by
wire, what sort of an impression they arc max
ing on the voters who sent them TO Albany.
IL is said that eleven Of the fourteen missing
Republicans can be depended on for the bill,

Yesterday Clone vote short Of the number
requisite to pass the bill. If the Republican
electors who want to see the party plant itself
on the only sure ground on this question will
let the Republican members know how thcf
feel and how much they feel it, Chat vote will
be ready promptly.

II would seem that the existing legislation
which aims at the determination of the English
house sparrow docs not accomplish that OBJ
iect Last year the Legislature of this State
passed law making the giving of food or
shelter TO the sparrOws a misdemeanor Yes
tcrday bill was introduced in Tie Assembly
which went step further in the same direction.
II places price upon the head of every spar
row, providing that boards Of supervisors shall
arrange for paying the bounty, the State to foot
the bills. 1t is doubtful if the law of last year
served appreciably to decrease the sparrow
population. This new bill is better calculated
to discourage the birds. But what chance
there will be for small frauds.

thrown food of light on the origin COM

more might have been done. if the committee
