TIE LEGISLATURE AND THE GOTERNOR.

THE LEGISLATURE AND THE GOFERNOR.
1t is proper to remind The Journal of Com
merce'' Of fact of which it would appear to
have lost sight. And that is that members of
the Legislature before entering upon the duties
Of their office take all oath to perform those
duties to the best Of their own ability. The
Journal Of Commerce" seems 10 be laboring
under the impression that the lawmakers swear
to perform their duties to the best of the ability
Of the Executive. I'm writing of the State cen
sus it says: "The Governor in returning it
(the Census bill Of 1850 without his approval
reminded the members that the Constitution
calls for simple enumeration Of the people. and
that he would sign any measure which contained
such provision if it was unncumbered by the
Objectionable features he had described" In
other words, the Governor suggested to the
Senators and Assemblymen that they should
pass Census bill which commended itself not
TO their own judgment, but TO his. Evidently
there is nothing mean about the Governor.
Only give him the initiative in legislation and
let the details just suit him. and he will re-
frain from employing his veto
When the Governor reminded the lawmaking
power that the Constitution called for :" a sim
ple,' enumeration Of the people he merely
proved that his own view of what Census
bill could properly contain was not the view
of those whose sworn duty it was to frame the
measure. Ten years earlier Census bill

INCREASING USE or IRON AND STEEL.

INCREASING USE or IRON AND STEEL.
The official statement of BesSemer ingOt
and rail production for the half year casts still
more light upon the remarkable consumption
of iron, which has continued so large that, in
spite Of the decline in demand for rails, it near
Iy absorbs a greatly increasing production il
was shown few days ago that the production
Of Bessemer iron had slightly decreased, while
the production of other kinds of iron had in
creased 298, 900 gross tons for the first half
Of 1889 over the last half Of 1888. As the In
crease in unsold stocks Of all kinds was only
202,790 gross tons It followed that the actual
consumption Of other than Bessenler iron must
have increased. Now there comes the state
ment Of BeSsemer ingots, showing what dis
position has been made Of most Of the BesSemer
pig produced. In the following table the amount
Of ingots produced by half years is given, a
loss Of one eighth ia allowed for oxidation and
crop ends, and the remaining quantities of
Bessemer steel are compared with the quantity
Of rails produced:
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1889-08-01

From this statement it appears, unless stocks
Of Bessemer ingots unsod and unused have
largely increased, of which there is no evidence
that the consumption of BeSsemer steel in
other forms than the production of rails was
%, 600 tons larger during the first half of SO 8
than during the last half Of 1888, and 70. 600
tons larger than during the first half OF 1888
This Is not easily accounted for in detail, but
some of the more important items are appreci-
able; thus there is known to have been an in
crease in the use of BeSsemer steel as well az Of
iron for structural purposes, for shipb uilding
and probably it will also appear for nailmaking
But gain Of ) 2 per cent in this branch Of
consumption for the half year, following a gain
of more than / 3 per cent for the first over the
second half of last year, illustrates wonderful
development Of the iron industry in this coun-

The question of increasing the citys water
supply takes on an added interest in view OF
The strong presumption that Worlds Fair
will be held here three years hence. An essen
tial condition for the success of that project
will be enough water for all possible uses.
There is every reason TO believe that this Will
be provided despite the fact that Chief En-
gneer Fteley has just informed the Public
Works Department that the new Aqueduct
will not be ready for use before June /, 1890.
The capacity of this conduit will be far in ex-
cess of the storage supply at that date, but by
1892 sufficient additional reservoirs should be
ready to furnish all the water needed for any
emergency. The Importance of Fastening this
work, however, is apparent. Delays are al
most inevitable, and in this case they will be
particularly dangerous.

IL is now settled beyond doubt that Mar
tin Buke will be extradited from the Do
minion and taken to Chicago to be tried for
completely in the murder of Dr. CrOnin. The
appellate Judges on Tuesday rendered their de-
cison holding that no grounds existed for re-
vclsing the decision Of Judge Bain who com
mitted Burke for extradition. The warrant of
extradition was signed yesterday by the Min
lister of Justice, and Bwke's removal from
Winnipeg will probably not be delayed
much longer. The Dominion is the asy-
lum for so many criminals from the United
States that it is gratifying to find that man
accused Of murder under such circumstances as
exist in Burke's case is not safe in taking
,efuge there.

WITHOUT DOUBT FROM THE VICTORIA.
VINEYARD HAVEN, MASS, June 25. 11:3O
P. Mt IS now generally conceded by old
sea captains Of Martha's Vineyard and
Nantucket that the wreckage washed
ashore during the past week without doubt
comes from the British steamer Victoria.
now due at Baltimore from Pernambnco.
but the wreckage supposed to be from
the Haytien Republic still remains q
mystery. Some think that the Haytien
Republic, after being reported off Pernam-
buco, may have returned for repairs, and
afterward collided with the Victoria.
Others think that the report Of her being
off Pernambuco may be an error, Several
carcasses of large, white horned steers have
been washed ashore on the ocean side of
Nantucket, and three incandescent electric
lights OF an English pattern, belonging
TO steamer were found to-day. No other
wrecKage has been washed ashore except
what has been reported. A thorough search
along the south shore of Martha's vineyard
to-day revealed nothing new. The shores
OF both islands are constantly watched for
new developfnants
