THE LAST DAYS OF THE LEGISLATURE.

THE LAST DAYS OF THE LEGioLAi ehb'
Some weeks ago resolution was passed pro-
viding for sine die adjournment of the Legis-
lature on the 18th Of May. The New York
Republ;can State Conv cntion is to meet on the
18th of May, so that it is hardly possible the
resolution will be rcconsidered, as has some
times happened, and a later date than the 18th
be finally determined upon. number OF the
Republican Senators and Assemblymen have
already been elected delegates to the Buffalo
Convention, and doubtless many more Will be
chosen later on. These lawmakers would not
desert their posts at Albany to go to Buhalo'
so that it is entirely safe to assume that the
gavels will fall for the last time this session
one week from next Friday
The time that remains is short, but it is long
enough to dispose of all the really important
measures still on the calendar. The danger
is not so much that any bill Of general public
concern will suffer as that in the hurry and con-
fusion Of the last days some jobs may manage
TO slip through. From now until the end IS
reached the Republicans cannot attend too
closely to business. Up to date the responsible
majority has made a record upon which the
Republican party can confidently go to the
people this fall The fiscal bills have been
kept clean the tax rate has been kept down (;
the lobby has been kept out. In the face oil
all tho obstacles presented by solid Demo-
cratic minority banded together to serve the
liquor interest, the great reform measure OF
the session, the High-License act, has been
passed. II is only necessary that nothing
should occur during the next two weeks to
nullify this worthy record in order to render
the years work the subject Of popular approval
OF course during the next eleven days private
and local bills will be pressed as they have not
been pressed before. Realizing that the Legis-
lature is so soon to "cease and determine"
legislators who believe that if they are to have
a political future they must secure the passage
of some particular home bill will make
desperate eff ort to accomplish their object. 1t
is we'll to watch these local bills. 1t is bad
policy to allow a measure to advance to third
reading merely ON the assurance of member
that it is 81 all right"
If the presiding officers of the two houses
will rgidly enforce the rule keeping persons
who are not members from the floor, if the
leaders will set their faces against log-rolling
in all the Generalization which the term I'M
plies, If every Republican Senator and Assem-
blyman will do his whole duty until May IL,
all will be well-the session will run to its close
without a serious blunder.

nation relating to the Conference. We also
print to-day a contribution from the Rev. Dr.
Crooks on the question of admitting women
delegates to the body. This question will be
raised early in the sessions and promises to
occasion an animated debate. DIR. Crooks
takes the same ground as was taken by the
Rev. DR.. Strong in an interview printed yes
terday namely, that there is no pa vision in
the fundamental law of the Church for the ad-
mission of women. Both these clergymen are
high authorities and their conclusions seem
sound; yet as the women delegates will take
their seats at the opening of the Conference,
will it not be an ungallant act to turn them

GOyERNoR HILL AND HIGH LICENSE

GOVERNOR HILL AM NUN AAND-'"'
II has been thought that Governor Hill
might veto the High-License bill upon the
ground that what was needed was REVISION
and simpliication of the Excise laws, such as
he proposed in his message of March 10. and
not further addition to them. But this is not
possible, for the Governor said in that message:
Nor should tho consideration OF the measure hero
contemplated necessarily interfere with any bill upon
the general subject before the Legislature
have noticed that there numerous bills pertaining
to the excise questions already upon the files awaiting
action and should any of them become laws they VIII
como before the commission for incorporation in the
| revision
This was as positive q pledge that no bill
should be interfered with, simply because
revision was pending, as could be asked But
there are special, as well as general reasons to
he found in Governor Hills own utterances
why he cannot consistently veto the High
| License bill In his memorandum filed with
the Five-Galon bill June "a, 1887, he said:
It ts needless to suggest that such (excisc laws
should be fair and equitable In their provisions ana
uniform their operation They should provide that
licenses should be granted by the local authorities ana
not otherwise and all the revenues derived thererom
whether called fees or taxes, or by whatever name
| they NAV be callcd-shoud belong to tho localities
under whose authority the licenses are granted Tho
sums exaced should be reasonable In amount so long
es the granting Of licenses prevails as the general
policy of the State, and the minimum license feo liked
by statute should DO uniform, while tho maximum fee,
II not also definitely fixed land unless 1t be found I'm
and less satisfactory to have the same based
upon the amount business done and graded proper
tionatey which would always render IL iar ana eqni-
tablet might then DO left TO the discretion OF tho loo al
authorities everywhere, thereby excmpiyng The pin
ciplc OF home rule and enabling any locally desiring
| to impose higher license fec than inc Uniform
minimum oae 10 have the privilege OF doing So There
by the policy of local option is sustained the principle

moderate or high license is thrown upon each locality
which is to be benefited injured or affected by Tho
course which It Itself adopts. Such legislation IL care

trove reasonably satisfactory, and while violating no
lust policy or proper principle OF taxation, wouid en-
able public sentiment upon the liquor question 10 mani
fest itself in accordance with the desires OF majority

This comes very near to being an exact de-
scription Of the High-License bill which he
now has before him.

Gently resigned had not shown signs of mental

The new LIQUOR law in New-Jersey goes into
effect tomorrow The High-License feature
is moderate enough not to arouse much oppo-
sition, but the strict provisions OF the law,
especially in regard to selling liquor on Sun
day, are likely to be the subject of contests in
the courts. That the constftutionality OF the
law will be attacked has already been decided.
If Sunday selling is stopped in Jersey City and
iHoboken, and if the side-doors Of Newly ork
saloons are kept closed, thirsty people in this
city will have no recourse but to fec to Coney
Island or Staten Island Yes, there is one

One of the most amusing things in Maurice
B. Flynns testimony was his account OF MIR.
Graces method of getting up Citizens

"Citizens' Movement was fraud but it has
pleased few adherents Of the ex-Mayor to
insist on the genuineness of these bogus affairs.
Flynn now gives the whole thing away" and
any one who needs a a" Citizens Movement for
any purpose has an infallible recipe for starting
one. Flynn sent up "a lot of Citizens ,"
from his foundry; Grace got 200 Citizens
from his undergrad at Hunters Point; the
gas-hOuse in Flynn's district furnished 200
Citizens; the other County Democracy
leaders helped on the cause, and so a first-class
"Citizens" boom was got under way. Mr.
Grace will probably not have the effrontery TO
try this littls game on Newly orkers again
Few were deceived by it the last time it was
