THE VETO POWER.

It is reported by leading Democratic news
paper, "The Troy Press" that Samuel J. Tilden
once remarked "As Governor | cannot veto
every measure for which would not vote as a
member of the LEGISLATURE Mr.. Tiden may
or may not have made this observation, but the
fact remains that it is founded upon a just and
statesmanlike conception of the veto power
O conception Of which the present Governor Of
New York steadily loses sight Mr.. Hill uses
the veto power as though it was a personal
perquiSte He would seem to imagine that it
Is perfectly legitimate for him to kill any bill
which runs counter TO one of his whims or
prejudices, or which seems calculated to have
an injurious effect upon the Democratic ma
chine.
Growing out of this grave and inexcusabe
misconception Of one of the functions Of the
Executive is the contention which has been a
good deal INDUCED in by leading Democratic
journals during the present session OF the Legis-
iature that our Senators and Assemblymen
should legislate with view 70 meeting the
G Governors wishes rather than with an eye
single to doing their duty as they understand
it, In other words, it is the Democratic posi-
ton, or, at all events, Democratic position
that in effect the Governor is to be given a
quas-initiative in legislation. Republicans
have been urged to shape the Excise bill and
the Ballot Reform bill in a certain way, the
argument being, If the bills are not thus
amended the Governor will veto them" II
ought not TO be necessary to say that an Execu-
tive who properly appreciated the duties aud
responsibilities Of his lofty Office would scorn
In emnloy the veto power except TO kill a
measure which was clearly unconstitutional OF
was hostile to the public good. But that is not
the way Governor Hill regards the veto. Why
did he kill the Census bill? The Constitution
requires that "an enumeration Of the inhab'
itants Of the State shall be taken under the di'
rection of the Legislature in the year 1856 anC
at the end OF every ten years thereafter" Re
specting this plain mandate Of the fundamental
law, the Legislature of 1885 passed measure
providing for taking this enumeration. The
Governor, however, did not hesitate to use hi,
veto power to override the Constitution. Sim
DIV because the Census bill was 6stasteful Il
him from the point of view of his party, he
remorselessly killed il, thus leaving the people
| Of New York without the enumeration to which
they were emitted which would have been OF
great service TO them III many ways, and which
the Consultation declares must be taken every
ten years. So, too, Mr.. Hill lately vetoed bill

FoRErELLIyG THUNDER GUSTS.

The great violence Of yesterdays wind squal
as we'll rs the suddcnncss with which it came,
raises afrrsh the old question how far It is prac-
ticabc TO forctel local disturbances Of the class
10 which this one the cloudburst and the tornado
all belong.
The general conditions which conduce 10 their
generation can be recognized hours, II not day or
two, in advance. These fnvoring, not 70 say be
getting influences are high temperature and great
humidity in the lower strata Of the atmosphere
with very cold air 40 no great height, and IT Is
well enough understood that, when once devel-
opcd these cphcmeral storms will traverse very
narrow track ,thundersqualls often present front
OF rarely more than twenty niles at the rate OF
fifteen or twenty miles an hour, and move east
wand n hundred or two miles, sometimes more
before dying out But at what point they VIII
originate, or what particular towns and counties
they are likely 10 traverse IL is practically impos-
sibIe 20 say. In general way two or three States
are mined by the Weather Bureaus, IN occasional
forecasts, MS liable TO be the scenes Of such vista
tions; but the most reckless prophet, proceeding
on accepted 5ciuntifc theories, would not venture
10 specify within a hundred miles where the gust
would appear Local signs count for little
Scarcely five minutes elapsed yesterday between
the first serious observation Of the sky and the
elimination OF the bhst And even sixty seconds
before the wind attained it's greatest fury no we'll
vcrsed meteorological could, from what he saw
here, have estimated with precision It's probable
violence The absence ofthe funncl.shaped cloud
or slything like a rotary motion was reassuring :;
hut a full-grown tornado coming over Orange
Mountain could hardly have caused greater sur
prise than the intensity Of the straisht-hne gale
for several minutes.
Some day, however, II not now, 1t will be pac-
ticabc 10 give big cities like New-iork warning
Of most local storms Gn hour or two In adVHhce-
sometimes more. Volunteer observers connected
with State weather services, such New-Iersey
has could be located thickly enough along the line
which these storms must travel before reaching
he metropolis 20 discover what WIS coming; and
by tclcgraphing promptly from points ftty or a
hundred miles " the westward. these men could
give great centres Of population nearly or all the
preparation needed.

THE GopERNOR AND THE EXCISE COM
MISSION

The Joint High-License Committee, repre-
senting the Church Temperance Society, the
Society for the Prevention of Crime, and the
Citizens Committee on High License, evidently
do not propose that Governor Hill shall make
the amendments to the Excise Commission bill
a pretext for vetoing it. In an address, signed
by Dorman-B. Eaton as chairman and John b.
Pine as secretary, they serve notice on him that
he cannot claim that the amendments have
spoiled the bill. After referring to his message
recommending revision Of the Excise laws
the letter says:
The general scope and character OF the bill have not
been altered by amendment its administrative pro
visions have not been rendered less efficient ana 10 no
particular has It become loss valuable as furnishing
complete and logical excise system While u would
be too much IS claim perfection for any legislative
measure the present bill, by comparison with existing
laws is so admirable as leave room for such tech
meal objections as may possibly be found to some OF It's
details ana when it IS considered that this offers In
place of chaotic mass Of statutes, neither fair Just
nor communicative a substitute complete and logical,
plaIn and reasonable md wthal fair and moderate It's
ready acceptance even by those who have heretofore
opposed any excise reform would seem almost IN
evttable.
In other words, II the Governor yetoes the
bill as we all believe he will do, he will he
forced to do it squarely from the liquor-dealer S
point Of view.
