TIE ASSEMBLY, CEILING REPORT

Tho report which the Appropriation Com
nittee submitted last evening contained hUue
that had not been anticipated. But II groupeu
together and emphasized the essential iacts
which have been elected by the ceiling IN
vestigation. The chief of these facts are, first
that Superintendent Andrews in his relations
10 the ceiling work demonstrated that he was
alike incompetent and Enthusiastically second
that the Assembly Committee to which was IN
trusted the general supervision OF the work
grossly neglected its duty the simple lrutn
being that it did not supervise it at ALL third,
that Controller Wemple is also deserving OF
grave ceusure for failing to scrutinizq the Dllls
of the contractor who performed the work. ana
especially for illegally paying out to him some
$4,000 more. than he was entitled to, the
ceiling not yet having been accepted by the
State.
The recommendations growing out OF these
facts are sensible ones. The contract not nav
ing been performed in accordance with the
plans and specifications, the State, under the
circumstances, would do well to refuse to ac-
oept the work. 1t is equally plain that the
Controller should make no further payments
until the work is accepted-he has already
dealt too generously with the contractor inc
third recommendation of the committee, look
ing to a transfer of the powers and duties OF
the Assembly Committee and Of Supenntend-
ent Andrews, touching the ceiling, to the Gap
itol Commissioner is calculated to meet with
the general approval. The resolution which
Mr.. Crosby offered after the report had been
preser Jed looks to continuing the investigation.
II is pretty clear that the probe has not yet
reached the bottom of this wretched scandal,
and the public will not rest satisfied until they
know all that is now covered up. The in
yestigation without being greatly prolonged
can be thorough.
It will be observed that the Appropriation
Committee declines to take up the bribery
charge brought against one Of its own MEM
bers. The decision, it strikes us, is wise
one. That branch Of the investigation can
! more properly be undertaken by another COM
mittee.
word to the trustees of the public build
| ings. The Assembly week ago, by unani-
| nous vote, demanded the suspension OF super
| ntendent Andrews. The report sub mitted last
evening enforces the demand Of the Assembly,
| showing. as it does, that the Superintendent
has wantonly betrayed the public interests
committed to his charge. Can ii be possible
that in face Of the evidence which has been
presented the trustees of the public buildings
propose to shield this official? The Board OF
Trustees is Democratic, consisting of the Gov
ernor. Lieutenant Governor and Speaker Cole
Has the Democracy reasons of its own growing
out of the last campaign for being tender to
MIR. Andrews? The fact that he is retained
| warrants the suspicion.

"The London Tines has announced It's

duce in American institutions. 1.-The centre

the centre Of English gravity still remains in

reminded or informed, that "realm after

The eventual notifications TO which the

the slightest degree revolutionary, nor even

hands, but intelligence, morality and patriot

the scales.

Progress of substantial sort is being made

in the box, two more having been selected
yesterday. One of them is the cashier in one
OF the largest dry-goods houses in the city, and
the other a business man apparently of good
standing. 1t is growing more evident day
after day that there was not the slightest rea-
son for changing the venue in the cases Of

There never was palmer case of incendi-

house yesterday. A large number of lives
were impenlled, and it was only by good luck
and the prompt action Of the fremen that the
Occupants of the house got out alive. A rigid
investigation is in order, and the miscreant who
saturated the stairways with oil and kindled
the fire should be brought to light without
delay.

The session tho House would settle down to
business in earnest, but the proceedings Of the
first day are calculated to show that such a
hope was bascless. Practically nothing was
done yesterday; and IL is not pleasant to say
that this result was in part due to the abb
ssntscism Of Republicans. Every one Of our
