An ARCH OF PEACE.

The prospect Of getting 4 Centennial arch is
encouraging. committee has been composed
Of prominent citizens tn take the matter in hand,
and the RESPONSE already made by the public.
even before operations have been begun, indi-
Gates a genuine interest in the erection Of this
memorial. 1t ought to be possible to put up
such an arch as would be worthy Of the event
which it commentaries and Of the community
TO which it is to serve as a perpot ua reminder
OF the foundation Of constitutional government.
Men have been building arches for thousands
of years TO preserve the fame Of bloody VIC
tories, to keep alive the memories Of war. Now
let Us set good example to the world by build
ing an arch of peace, one that will not contin-
uaIly remind men Of butchcry and rapinc, but
will be landmark forever to show where one
of the greatest victories in the history Of tho
race was won-where the people instituted self
government.
The erection Of such an arch would have a

deep significance, but 1t would serve sun an
other useful purpose. It would introduce an
element Of picturesqueness that is much needed
in the prosaic streets Of this prosaic city. IL
will be but modest affair compared with the
greatest of arches, that at Paris, which was
begun by the first Napoleon to commemorate
b;s tIumphs and which looked down in grim
IRONY upon the complete destruction of his
dvrasty. but it is appropriately and tastcfully
designed. and will no doubt gain much in
beautv when transformed into marble especially
70 tho nublic will raise sufficient fund to give
tho architect larger scope. American streets
GRO like American life, too bare and common
place. They are sadly deficient in elements OF
tho ideal The building Of this arch would
nrobabIy he the first impulse in movement
coward tho decoration Of streets and parks
which could not fail to have important results
not only in this city, but elsewhere throughout
the Union. Our public places are provided with
q liberal allowance of statues, some good, most
Of them bad, and some very bad indeed In
Mr. Whites arch we should have really salts
factory work of art Of a more important kind
10 he a continual source Of pride to our citizens
and an object of interest to visitors IT IS q
favorite accusation against the people OF New
Work. that there is lack Of public spirit
among them. This project offers good OPP
portunity to better our reputation.

THE SITUATION At ALBANY.

The Republican majority went to work this
week with the evident intention of making the
most Of the time that remains. The Assembly
passed resolution yesterday which provides
that the morning sessions Of that body shall
hereafter be held at % oclock-a gain OF an
hour that afternoon sessions shall be held on
Wednesdays and Thursdays, and evening ses-
sions on Mondays, Tuesdays aud Thursdays.
With these engagements and with the duties
of the committee room to discharge, our AS
sembEmen from now on to final adjournment
will necessarily be among the busiest men of
the State. And the Senate, it is to be said to
its credit, is keeping pace with the Assembly.
The House is TO be heartily congratulated
upon disposing Of the Scnates amendments ~
the Excise bill SO promptly. Democrats were
hoping against hope that these amendments
would either cause the defeat Of the bill, or, at
all events, delay its reaching the hands of the
Governor until it became what is known as a
thirty days bill-one of the bills which, be-
cause Of the intervention Of final adjournment,
the Governor has thirty days to act upon. The
Assembly, by concurring in the Senate amepd-
ments yesterday, placed the measure in tho
Governors hand more than ten days before the
date of final adjournment. So that Mr.. Hill
will be compelled either TO sign it or veto it
while the Legislature Is still in session. The
Assembly did another good piece Of work in
correcting the defect in the SaXton BallOt-Re-
form bill and then Immediately repasSf1g it,
The Democrats Of the Assembly once again ar
rayed themselves against both of these great
re form measures. Not member of the minor
ity voted for either.
The great fiscal measure Of the session, the
Annual Supply bill, was considered and passed
by the Senate yesterday at its morning ses-
sion. The amendments made were not impOr
tant, SO that the Assembly will probably con-
cur without delay. If it does SO, final adjourn
mcnt may be reached next week, although there
is SOnlc talk al present in Albany Of extending
the session Until the . Sd of May. IN ordering
the Fassett Prison bill and the Compulsory Ed
ucation bill to third reading, and in sitting
down upon the indefenSible scheme TO allow
Virginia company to utilize Niagara Falls
for the generation Of electricity, the Seuato
simply respected public sentiment plainly de-
clared. The Republican majority has only to
conduct the rest Of the business Of the session
! thus wisely to earn the thanks Of the people
and disarm criticism.

The vacancies which have existed in the
Civil Service Commission since the appoint
ment of Mr.. Oberly as Commissioner OF indian
Affairs and the enforced resignation OF Mr.
Edgerton were filed yesterday by the appoint
ment of Theodore Roosevelt and Hugh s..
Thompson. The selection Of Mr.. Roosevelt for
one of these places needs no words of approval
from THE TRIBUNE to emphasize its fitness.
1t is admirable in every way. BY character,
experience in public life and his belief in the
principles that underlie real Civil Service re-
form, MIR. Roosevelt is we'll qualified TO dis
charge satisfactorily the duties of this office.
II the same cannot be said Of Mr.. Thompson,
who served an Assistant Secretary Of the
Treasury during the greater part of the Cleve-
land Administration, it must be remembered
that President Harrison was bound to appoint
one Democrat, and that his selection Of the
man picked out by his predecessor for Civil
Service COmmissi onerShip ought not to be Sc
verely criticised.
