4 COOP DAYS WoRK.

The Republicans Of the Assembly did good
days work yesterday in passing the Excise
Commission bill Mr.. Crosby, who led the ma
iority, deserves credit for the courageous frank
ness with which he laid the issue before the
Assembly. His Characterization of the social
forces that lay behind the opposition to the
bill, and behind the Governor, who has been
elected to veto all measures to restrict the
liquor traffic, went boldly to the verge of paflia-
mentary usage, but every man within the sound
of his voice must have known that 1t was lit
orally true. Anything less would have been
less than the truth, which does not get itself
spoken often enough in legislative assemblies.
1t is to be regretted that there should have
been five Republican votes against the bill.
They were those of Messrs. Charles Smith, Of
New-York; Leroy, of Albany; Andrus and
Baker, of Erie, and Little, Of Niagara. These
men were elected as Republicans by Repub-
lican votes, and in voting as they have upon
this bill have simply deserted to the saloon
Democracy. Fortunately, it is not in their
power to betray the party into the hands of its
enemies. All they can do is to demonstrate
their personal subserviency to the liquor-deal-
ers. But their action brings no reproach upon
the party. No army ever marched yet without
losing something by desertion from the ranks.
The Senate is TO take up to-day the Vedder
Tax bill. We hope to see it pass promptly, and
soon to see both these bills 20 to the Governor
putting upon him the responsibility Of deciding
whether he will refuse this legislation to the
people simply because it is not acceptable to
the saloonkeepers. Whatever may be the re-
sult, the record of the Republican party will be
clear,

was that the new roads thereby combined
against Che public to extort whatever they
pleased from shippers and consumers. buu
what was the Association Of railroad Presidents
intended to accomplish, Il not to raise and
maintain higher charges for transportation ?
In the estimation Of its supporters that is the
chief merit which justifes the organization.
Nevertheless, the organization is regarded by
the Interstate Commission as a lawful and help
full one, because it proposes to aid the enforce
mept Of the Interstate law against any Of the
railroads which fail to submit to it's regulations:
Il may as well be remembered that the old
railroad pools, which the Interstate law was in
tended to prohibit, were found Of most doubt
ful service to the railroads. They had but
little actual power OF control. Yet they were
enormously powerful in damaging the COM
NAMES by inducing new rivals TO start up and
breeding new competition. II was then de-
clared with much positiveness by railroad man
ayers Of distinction that the pooling system had
done more harm than good, and had brought
the railroads so near to bankruptcy that Fed
eral interference in some form was necessary
to save them. The interference comes, accord
ing to the opinion Of some, in the shape OF
more efficient pool, virtually legalized. But
Il the new arrangement proves more efficient,
and II through the Interstate act it has the
virtual support and countenance of the Federal
authorities may it not in the end prove efficient
in breeding new competition, even more than
the organizations which the law prohibits

served to develop the wonderful resources OF

Tanpanyilra nor his voyage down the Congo
from the Upper Lualaba, with its running fight
with treacherous Manyemas and fierce Man

couragements with this last terrible march

There are certain things which tenants about
to move or to renew their leases ought to bear
In mind at this time, but which 1t Is safe to say
most of them will forget or neglect. We refer
10 the conditions Of health and safety which
they have right to demand They may be
trusted 10 make as good bargain as possible
80 far as space, arrangement and decoration are
concerned and II they are imposed upon In
these respects they deserve no special sympathy.
Rents are enormously high in New York, OF
course and from the point Of view of the
residents Of most other cities nobody In the
metropolis really gets his moneys worth. But
this fundamental condition enters into the con-
tract, and in most cases our people are con-
tented to pay at high rate for the privilege
Of living here.
In choosing new homo the head OF tho
family bestows sufficient time and attention
upon details which relate exclusively to the
convenience and attractiveness Of the estab-
lshment. The size of the rooms, the height
OF the ceilings, the quality of the woodwork,
the patterns and colors Of the wall papers, the
condition of the kitchen range, and the APP
plances for heating and lighting are all scrutin-
lied, and repairs, alterations and embellish-
ments are refused or agreed TO according TO the
amount Of the rent and the disposition or bust
ness principles Of the landlord. And in these
particulars, when the transaction has been COM
pleted, desirable tenant usually finds himself
in the enjoyment OF about all that he had reason
10 expect, though not necessarily of all that he
had had the courage TO ask for. But how many
persons make more than casual inquiry into
matters which are intrinscally far more i'm
portant2 How many tenants ever learn except
by experience whether their homes ara healthy
or the reverse? A casual question about the
plumbing is answered by a prompt assurance of
It's superiority, and there the investigation COM
monty ends. People are willing to make Ia
borious search or an imperious demand for
decorations that suit their fancy, but very few
take advantage Of their right TO insist upon
efficient traps, sound pipes, tight joints and
sewer connections and dry cellars. They prac-
tically ignore tho only requirements in which
the law viii back them mp.
This Is the right season in which to enforce
snch demands. Landlords do not relish the
idea Of seeing their houses and apartments
vacant all summer, and are more likely to be
amenable 10 persuasion In the spring than in
the fall II. however, persuasion seems to be
wasted, tenants should know and remember
that reference to the Board Of Health is per-
fectly legitimate, and if made with proper firm
ness, very apt to accomplish the desired result.
Moreover, this is not matter Of purely individ-
ual concern. II involves an obligation to the
community. There is woful amount Of bad
plumbing and of unnecessary gloom and damp
ness in the habitations Of this city, and every
man or zht to feel that IL is his duty to do some
thing toward diminishing IL.

POOLING AND THE INTERSTATE LAW.

POOLING AND TIE INTERSTATE LAW
Hardly any other domestic topic can we'll
take precedence Of that which concerns the
working and the prosperity Of the entire rail-
way system. Day by day the hearings or de-
cisions of the Interstate Commission bring II to
mind afresh, and yet there is general i'm
preston that the Interstate law with all It's re7
cent amendments, has very uncertain and ques-
tjonabIe results. The publication Of an adj
dress before the Manufacturers Club Of Phia-
delphia, by Mr. Joseph Nimmo, on the other
hand, calls attention anew TO the belief by
many entertained that the pooling system was
of real and material benefit to the railroads
and to the country that the Interstate law is
seriously defective in prohibiting it, and that
the act will yet have 20 be so amended as to
encourage aud legalize division of traffic be-
tween the railroads.
Mr. Nimmo supports with earnestness and
ability this opinion, and 1t is still entertained
by many railroad managers. Perhaps il is not
too much to say that the desire to reach some
legalized regulation Of traffic lay at the bottom
Of Mr.. Charles Francis Adams's efforts to OR
gauize the Association Of Presidents, That
association was. in fact, recommended TO more
than one OF the participants by che hope that
IL would become in effect species OF legalized
pool, with power to accomplish part, II not all
the regulation and division OF traffic which
pooling was designed to effect. Yetit was che
ayowed object of the majority In the House, and
| Of Mr.. Reagan. the father Of the bill and its
chief supporter there, TO prevent pooling alto
gether, and when the Senate Committee urged
that such organizations rendered useful service
| In some respects, and Senator Plat and Others
| urged that the law should not prohibit them, the
Senate was finally obliged 10 yield to the House
and consent to the prohibition. It would be a
striking illustration Of Democratic incapacitJ
| in legislation IL it should prove that the vers
| measuss which was designed 70 prohibit pool.
ing arrangements and which, indeed, was sup
posed by Mr.. Reagan and some others to be Of
greater value for that provision than for almost
any other, should turn out to have established
and legalized stronger pool than the railroads
could otherwise have organised.
The popular objecdon to the poolins system
