THE CENSUS BILL ONCE MORE.

The Republican Legislature of 1885 passed
bill providing for an enumeration Of the in
habtants of this State. 1t was measure which
was at all points constitutional. 1t was
measure which complied with Section 4 of
Article ILL of the organic law, calling for an
enumeration once every ten years after 1855.
1t was measure-and this ought to have made
it satisfactory to Democrats-modelled after
the one which Samuel ]. Tiden signed when
he was Governor of New-York. Neverthe-
less, David b. Hill vetoed this measure of vital
public Importance, thus trampling upon the
Constitution which he had sworn to support and
disregarding the will of the people which he
pretended to respect. What was the occasion
of the veto? Was it based on considerations
growing out Of the general veal? Oh, no.
Governor Hill killed the bill for partisan
reason, pure and simple. He killed it because
he believed it gave the Republicans too much
patronage. In other words, this pitiful peanut
politician was not above defeating great con-
sttutional mandate involving the reapportion-
ment of the legislative districts, if by so doing
he could play into the hands of the Democratic
party and be of service to his own private
office-seeking boom.
We return to this subject just now in order
to call attention to the fact that a leading Hill
organ has just practically conceded that the
census veto was for revenue only-Democratic
revenue. The organ is " The Rochester Union"
Listen to it:
II Governor Hill had not vetoed the cut and dried
and corrupt Republican Job Of the Census bill of 1885,
there would be no Governor Hin to-day to have
Legislature OF his own faith or Of anybody ese's
faith There would be a Republican Governor and
Republican State officers, well as a Republican
Legislature, and a Republican gerrymander TO hold
Republican executive and legislative power for untold
wears TO come. . d. There are, doubt, Demo
Gratis of reputation In practical politics. any
one Of whom, had he been in Governor HIPS place,
would have committed suicide for himself and party by
APPROVING the Republican census job because Republ
can orators and newspapers hurled at him the fact and
the siren of Mugwump dettante whispered In his
ear that Governor Tilden signed Census bill In 1870
1t is clear from this that 1.-The Union" be-
ieves, as Hill himself evidently believes, that
he was placed in the Executive Chair, not to
be a Governor for the whole people, but mere
| ~ for Democrats. "There would be no Gov
| ernor Hill to-day" if the Census bill had been
| signed Granted, for the sake of argument
that the proposition is correct what then? Is
| Governor to use his Office to protect his own
interests? The assumption is an indecent one,
and yet Hill has steadily proceeded upon it
since he has held his present office and the
census veto is Ineligible upon no other as
sumption. 1t was veto for ID. b. Hill, veto
for d. b. Hills party, veto for ID. b. Hills
and his partys prospects.
Public officials have been impeached and re-
| moved from Office for offences of less signlh-
! canoe.

from them any form of compromise legislation
that NAV be recommended for general adop-
tion will meet with resistance from theorists,
social reformers and jurists of every shade OF
oninion. The whole subject is beset with prac-
teal difficulties which will inevitably obstruct
the progress of the movement whenever definite
action is recommended
Judge Thayer's scathing remarks on the di-
vorce system of Pennsylvania opened the way
for frank confession that he had made entries
and issued DEGREES from the bench against the
dictates of his conscience because he was COM
PEELED by his oath to administer preposterous
immoral and I'M Christian law as he found it.
ain many and many case,u he said, "have |
felt that this thing was being done by agree
ment, and that people who were bound by the
laws of God to remain united were sunderng
themselves by trick, and | did not have the
power or the capacity to stop it," That is in
accord with the testimony of all upright Judges
who are called upon to administer the divorce
laws. 1t points to the laws rather than to the
courts as the source of present social demoraliza
ton. Judge Thayer alarmed by the increase
Of the evil in Pennsylvania, where 10, 900 d.
vorces have been granted in twenty years, de-
spairs of any real reform in that State until the
New-York law abolishing divorce except for
a single cause shall be introduced there and in
other States. That is probably the closest ap:
proach that can be made to a definite policy for
the National Reform Association If public
opinion in Pennsylvania and few other great
Commonwealth can be concentrated in favor
of the essential principle of the New York law
and the Legislatures Of those States can be
prevailed upon to sanction it, form and direc-
ton will be given to the whole movement in
favor Of uniform system.
