Il is evident that the Canal Committees are
NOT suffering for want Of business, The proper
disposition Of the measures TO which we have
referred calls for the exercise of all the wisdom
and experience at their command The public
sentiment in regard to the canals is not Q
matter Of conjecture. The people demand that
they shall be thoroughly oyerhauled and inn
proved, and then maintained in condition OF
the highest efficiency. New-York State Is
abundantly able to support the best canal sys-
tenn which can be devised, and IL is to her adj
vantage not TO put up with any other system.
But this being so, 1t is equally true that the
people, especially those living of the line OF
the canals, are dead set against excessive APP
propriations. If the trainers Of the bill of last
year had insisted upon S1,0O0,0o0 or moth
ing, they would have stood good chance of
getting nothing.

rrr rERBrroRIA1 APpoIA rMENTS.

President Harrison's Territorial appointments
tbus far have been made in accordance with
sound policy, and the earliest selections indi-
cate that the list will be filed on the same
principle. The policy is sound in the first
place, because IL carries out the emphatic prom
Use of the Chicago platform, that residence IN
the Territories should be prime qualification
for office. President Cleveland broke many
nledpes of the platform on which he was elect
od but none earlier, more often and more de-
liberately than the party pledge covering this
point. Broken promises come home TO roost
as a general thing, and Mr.. Cleyeland's ex-
perience was as far as possible from beng an
exception to the rule. He made the Terri
tories a dumping ground for disreputable adj
herents whom It was important to placate or
convenient to reward. and to the last never
seemed TO be aware that he made political
blunder as often as he violated pledge. lie
had, to be sure, good reason for supposing that
the promise was not made to be kept, for the
course of the Democrats in Congress toward the
Territories was for many years studied AZ
front but that extraordinary superiority TO his
environment with which he was credited ought
to have come 10 his rescue.
He certainly did not lack abundant evidence
that his policy vas failure in practice as well
as in morals. Many of his appointments were
so unit rs to be simply grctesque. Ludicrous
the rest Of the country may have called them,
but 10 the people Of the Territories there was
nothing funny in the situation. and they even
accomplished the difficult task Of alternating
still further from the Democratic faith and
fold host Of loyal, prosperous, intelligent
men who are soon to be voters. Such men
were not deceived when enough honorable or
sseaciom members OF the House were fond
10 pass the admission bill. They had taken
the measure Of Democracy for twenty-five
years.
President Harrison's course toward the Terri
tories in respect TO Federal Offices Is sound. not
only because IL keeps the promise Of the con-
Yention that nominated him, but alSo because
1t is inherently right and proper that those inn
perial domains should be governed by men
who understand their people, are familiar with
their necessities and demands, and have q
stake In their prosperity. And finally, ID Is
good politics TO respect the honest and honor
able preferences Of Territories which are on
the verge Of Statehood. II is. the sort Of poll
tics that becomes the President OF the United
States and the leader OF party the sort that
no honest stickler for the prophecies can OBJ
feet to, and that even the most ofiicious hypo-
critic would find it hard TO sheer at. II is the
sort Of politics at which we hope that Presi-
dent Harrison viii prove himself an adept.

TIE PENDING CANAL LEGISLATION

The Canal Committees ut Albany have q
number OF important measures before them.
Two bills have been introduced appropriattnR
81 900, 900 TO continue the work OF improve
ment. The Cantor-Andrus bill provides that
lock-lengthening shall be done by CONTRACT, and
that as much of the other work shall be thus
let as the Superintendent Of Public Works and
State Engineer shall decide can be done with
advantage 20 the State. The other. the Lang
ben bill provides that all the work for which
the 81 100000 is appropriated shall be done
by contract The boatmen seem to be divided
on these measures. The "Union for the Pro-
lection Of the Canals" which met in Albany a
few weeks ago, Endorsed the bill last named,
whereas the Canal Boat Owners and Com
mercial Association" are now circulating pc
Htion urging the passage Of the ether one. 1t
is unfortunate that the Superintendent Of Pub
lie Works does not possess the confidence Of
all those that use the canals. At a meeting Of
boatmen, held In this city tho last Of Febru-
airy, resolutions were adopted severely criti-
cising his administration. II seems likely that
the appropriation will be reduced before 1t is
agreed to. That course was adopted in regard
to the one Of last year, and no attempt has been

canals would suffer in any particular unless 10
large sum as 81, 900, 900 is spent upon them
this season. They got S57 5000 in 1888.
These are the leading canal measures Of the
session, but others are pending which arc ex-
citing good deal of attention. One of them
calls for elevators to be owned and operated by
the State. II grew out Of the conviction which
many Of the b0atmen entertain that the charges
Of the elevators at present operated by private
individuals are extortiona6e, But here again
there ia want Of unity among those who are
most Interested. The canal Union" wants to

ers,r on the contrary, have como out against
it. On this point they say, In the circular re-
feTed to: 1--WE are opposed to any State
Elevator bin, II being entirely impracticablo

without duplicating the whole system
Of storage and floating elevators, which
would cost the State untold miIlions.v
But although there Is this disagreement the
two associations are at one in opposing another
bill which,is pending In the Canal Committee

McEyoy Elevator bill Of last year. This meas

charges is regarded as unconstitutional In
