GOING OYER NTAeARA.

The telegraph brings the report that man is
rpttine a barrel ready in which he is going over
T,aoara Falls. 1t is somewhat carly for the trip,
hrt n is understood that he expects rush later IN
,ha seaaou. and wants to go when he can do so IN
oo,nfoyt We suppose nothing can be more dis
ogreaable than to 20 over Niagara Falls when they
orc crowded and have the barrels Of total strang-
srs humping against your own No person who
loves n travel quietly and unostentatiously Will
IN over Niagara during the busy season.
We are sorry TO see that this business of going
ovpr Niagara Falls in barrels 10 to be resumed.
We had hoped that we might get through the
summer with few Jumps from bridges, balloon
asoensions. and so FORTH but 1t seems 1t Is not to
he t. appears to us that going over Niagara
Fails in a barrel is too exciting ana wearing Tor
most constitutions. Complaint Is made that the
average American lives too much n whirl Of
excitement and II is certain that the complaint is
largely justiable, but to get into barrel and go
over the Falls of Niagara and on down through
the rapids and whirlpool is not the way to rest
After working and worrying for year the man
who spends his vacation In barrel, amid the rush
and roar Of our mighty falls, will come back but
little refreshed. and but poorly prepared for an
other twelvemonth Of business cares. With tho
exception Of the life of the man on the Chicago
Board of Trade, there are few positions more ex-
citing and trying than that Of man in barrel
about two-thirds of the way down the American
falls.
The people of the Old World charge us with
wearing ourselves out with ovcrwork and living
on excitement and as q whole we cannot deny
the arraignment with very good grace. Compare
for one moment the life led by, let US say an
English country gentleman in good circumstances,
surrounded by rural scenes Of innocence and ease
and without care, with the existence Of the man
amid tho rush and excitement of Niagara with his
barrel Which man will be apt to live the
longer2 Who would not prefer the English
country seat to the hurry and constant change
Of the whirlpool with the best barrel nader
1t seems as IL we Americans had enough to
answer for in the rushing, excited lives we lead,
without further populnrizing the barrel trip at
Niagara. As q way of committing suicide it. Of
course, has its advantages. II, also, you are de-
sirous OF showing the world that you have, up to
now, successfully avoided the fool-hiller, we can
also recommend the trip, though in this case there
are easier and less dangerous ways to accomplish
your object; for instance. there's the Mugwump
party standing idly by mutely appealing for re-
cruits. Join It.

THE FASsETT PRISON BILL.

II seems 10 be pretty generally admitted By
those most competent to speak on the subject
that the Yates Prison bill, which has been
ordered to o third reading in the Assembly,
ought not to be further considered. And since
the Slavery bill has encountered considerable
opposition, the Assembly having gone SO far
as to cast it aside for the Yates bill, the thoughts
Of many of the most intelligent members OF
the Legislature are now 5urning to the measure
which Senator Fassett has introduced, as the
best present solution Of the prison problem.
A full abstract of the Fassett bill was printed
in THE TRIBUNE Of Monday. The bill has
been carefully drawn under the supervision Of
an experienced prison official. II provides for
relieving the prisoners from the curse Of idle
ness which now rests upon so many Of them,
and although 1t sets them to work and would
keep them at work continuously, it is 50 framed
as TO prevent prison labor from doing any ma
teral damage to outside FREQ labor. While in
thesa and same ether particulars u resembles
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1889-04-16

in general way the Slavery bill, yet It has
admirable features which are distinctvely it's
own. The most notable Of these features pro-
vides for applying TO the State prisons what
is known as the ticket-of-leave scheme, and
for codifcation of the prison laws OF the
State. Two labor systems are embodied in it, the
piece plan and the public account. the Supern-
tendent of Prisons being at liberty to avail
himself of either or both at his discretion.
This is a judioiOus provision. 1t has been clear
" shown that 1t is impossible to adopt any one
system which is not seriously opposed in some
quarters BY excluding the contract system
against which the people pronounced at the
ballot-box few years ago, and by admitting
the other two systems, in both of which there
is good, but neither of which is all good, the
trainers Of this measure must be given the
credit of having done the best that could be
done in the circumstances.
The passage of the Yates bill would be a.
public misfortune from every point OF view
II might we'll be styled an act TO elevate the
taxes and demoralize the prisoners OF New
York. A hearing is to be given on the Fassett
bill this week, and since the choice seems to
lie between it and the Yates bill it ought 70 60
through without trouble.

TIE BAR ASSOCIATION MEETrvs.

The Bar Association will meet tonight to
consider one of the most important matters
every brought before 1.-THE question OF the
consolidation or other amalgamation Of the
Common Pleas and Superior courts with the
Supreme Court by constitutional amendment
II the matter is to be brought before the present
Legislature prompt action is necessary. At the
same time, the greatest care is essential that
no il-oonsidered measure, nor any that may be
worse in its results than the difficulty it is in
tended TO remedy, should be recommended. The
Legislature and the public generally must
naturally, to a great extent at least, be inhu-
enced and guided by the judgment Of body
like the Bar Association as to the wisdom Of such
important changes as are proposed. The mat
ter should not be passed upon by small num-
Der Of persons who may be members of that
organization, but the meeting tonight should
be 80 large and representative In character as
to cmbody the most influential and wisest
sentiment of the New-York Bar.
There are three distinct forms Of the pro-
posed amendments. There are some PROPOSE
tons made that seem to layman open to
grave objections, and unless tho lawyers Of the
city can give the best Of reasons for their adop-
ton they are certain to be rejected by tho
people. Whatever view is taken by the Bar
Association as a body tonight should be pre-
sented to the public and the Legislature, forth
lied by the views Of lawyers of such high char
acter and standing as to command difference
and be sustained by the vote Of q number suffi-
ciently large to csrr1 the conviction that the
