II the present session Of the Legislature at
Albany is not to be protracted well into the
summer, the members have got to bestir them
selves. For although large number of bills
have been disposed Of, none Of the really inn
portant ones have reached the Governors
hands or have even been considered in Com
mittee of the Whole. OF course, the two houses
can agree to adjourn finally May 10, or at
some other comparatively early date, and can
adjourn then no matter how great or important
the volume OF unfinished business. But that
will not do The people have right to de-
mand that the Legislature shall remain in
session until all the measures on the calendar
which are of general interest have been per-
fected and put TO vote.
Our Albany correspondent telegraphs that
Mr.. Saxt0n will endeayor to secure immediate
consideration Of his two bills providing for
ballot reform. Certainly 1t is difficult to sec
on what legitimate ground either of these sal
utary measures can be delayed. They have
been carefully gone over, section by section, in
the standing committee to which they were
referred, while those who have desired to be
heard either for them or against them have
been given an ample hearing. In the circum-
stances nothing but purely factions opposition
can block their path to o third reading. The
Republicans will work together for their speedy
passage, and Il remains to be seen whether
the minority will make the mistake Of fighting
them. The Excise Committee when last heard
from seemed TO be In danger Of dividing
against itself. II behooyes its members 10 COM
pose their differences, and to report measure
which will reflect the Republican sentiment OF
the State by maintaining tho Republican posi-
ton on the liquor question.
Ballot Reform and Temperance Reform
these are the two subjects which should be
given the preference over all others at Albany
until something adequate is accomplished. And
the other leading measures, those relating to
prisons, canals, the treatment OF the insane
and the rest, ought not TO be compelled to wait
their turn while local bills Of small account,
which could 60 over until next year without
serious inconvenience to any one, are rushed
ahead. Having majority In both the Senate
and Assembly, the Republicans will be held
responsible for the legislation Of the year.
Let them bear that fact in mind, aud remem-
Der besides that the people are intolerant Of
immediately long sessions. An important
election is TO be held in this State next fall
Not only Senators and Assemblymen, but all
the elective State officers except the Governor
and Lieutenant-Governor, are to be chosen.
An unassailable legislative record makes an
excellent campaign document.

TEE SAMOAN RUMORS.

The sensational rumoFs of naval engage
ment at Samoa, which have been current for the
last eight days, continue to excite uneasiness
despite repeated denials. Ex-Consul-G General
Sewall is quoted by "The Baltimore American
as expressing his belief that the Nipsic has
been fred upon by the Olga. He states that
the Germans control the mails and all other
facilities Of communication between Apia and
Europe, and hence the first tidings of such an
occurrence would be likely to reach Berlin.
II the Npsic was really sunk" he continues,
"as firmly believe to be the case, it would
naturally be known first through German chan
nels, for the very good reason that the United
States has no way OF receiving the newsD
Fortunately, Mr.. Sewall's apprehensions are
not shared by the State and Navy Depart
Hients, where the reports OF the naval battle
are utterly discredited as idle fabrications. BY
the end OF this week o steamer will arrive at
San Francisco from Australia via Samoa, and
the truth will then be known. The rumors
were first circulated in Germany on March 8.

MUSTC--THE DRAMA.
"BoccAcoroo AT PALMERs THEATRE!


Tho merry measures Of Won suppe's well-known

should be broken or should burst, the pas
sengers would be killed by inhaling the steam
or, at any rate, seriously scalded thereby. The
Board takes little stock, If we may be allowed
the expression, in this objection. IL only
recommends the use of steam at allow pressure
but the report declares that, even with
pressure as high as eighty pounds, experiments
show that no person in a car would DC inlureu
in case of break or explosion unless some one
should be within few feet Of the break ana IN
the direct line OF the escaping steam.
On the whole, the report OF the MaSsacnu-
sets Commissioners, so far as it relates-s TO TINS
matter, is marked by good sense ana sagaciey.
Whether compulsory Legislation Will be needed
TO make this reform general is question that
no great length of time win be required to
determine. Our own opinion is that the strong
arm of the law will be required to bring some
companies to terms, especially since one inn
portant corporation has shown decided dis
position to resist the reform. That the i'm
provement must become universal seems TO be
a settled fact. In order that there may be that
general interchange Of cars which is SO essen
tial to the demands of travel in these days, it
is necessary that uniform coupler should be
provided, so that the cars Of one company may
readily take their places in the trains Of an
other This is an object to which the practical
railroad men Of the country should address
themselves without delay.
Unless the railway companies yield to the
inevitable, the chances are that the force of
public opinion will make itself felt in such q
way that they will be compelled to yield, and
those which are slowest to accept the situation
win DO certain to lose prestige by their unwiSe
course. The feeling ON this subject is not
temporary spasm, but permanency, and the
corporations should take notice and act &C
nordingly

PROGRESS IN CAPTIVATING By STEAM


PROGRESS IN CAPTIVATING By STEAM
The Railroad Commissioners of Massachu-
sets, in the report presented to the Legis-
lature recently, take o rather sanguine view
of the matter Of heating railway cars with
steam from the engine. 1t is doubtful, in our
judgment, whether the facts justify the con-
cluson which the Commissioners have arrived
at, which they express In these words a." Loco
motive steamheating has now acquired such o
foOthold that It will probably come into gen.
eral use without compulsory legislation" Their
general remarks in answer to the objections
raised against this method Of heating will,
however, meet with hearty approval. They
say, for instance, that little real difficulty is
to be encountered in keeping a uniform tenn
perature with steam heat, especially when the
employees become familiar with the appliances.
They wisely recommend that n good and good
sized thermometer be supplied for each car.
On question intimately connected with that
of heating the report has a sensible word TO
say: Proper ventilation is closely allied to
uniformity Of temperature. These two sub
jects should be dealt with together; and in
fitting out cars with heating apparatus the
importance Of supplying fresh, clean air and
Of taking off foul air without dangerous
drafts, should not be overlool1ed.n The Com
missioners are firmly convinced that locomo-
tive steam-heating win prove more economical
than individual heater systems, and they call
attention to a fact often lost sight Of in dis
cussions Of this matter, namely, that the re-
movaI Of the individual heaters will make
room for additional seats for passengers.
One Of the objections TO which particular
attention is directed in the report in question
Is that the system Of heating by steam from the
locomotive is more dangerous than some of the
other systems. This is said to have been
strongly urged by the representatives Of one
company. 1t is claimed that a reducing valve
on the engine is not sufficient protection
against an excess Of pressure on the pipes in
the cars, and that il, in case Of the valve fail
ing TO reduce the pressure, pipe in the cars

The discovery has been made in Washington
that the Secretary Of Agriculture is not in the
order Of Presidential succession. The law fixing
the order in which the Cabinet officers might
succeed to the Presidency was passed long before
the new Secretsryship was created, and the point
was not raised while the latter bin was under
discussion. The chief interest in the discovery
lies thus far In the claim Of experts on precedent
that he c., not have the same social rank as the
contingent Presidents This may worry some
