A s. HORT MESSAGE TO THE LEGISLAIChh'
Z efore every Legislature, year after year, IS
pres ented mass of bills aimed at the tax
pave RS of this city. Most of them, it must be
ackn owledged, are offered by our own repre-
sent wives. In all legislative scrambles for
spoiL, they are invariably the worst offenders
New York is afflicted with an abominable po-
liticaI system, and one Of its natural results
among many others equally vicious IS an Al

the Ne w-York delegations stand out like wells

ever. n alst remember that the responsibility OF
all Legislation is upon them, no matter by what
indiyid, lal it is proposed. Every bill affecting
this CITY should be scrutinized with the utmost
care an 4 none should be passed unless 1t is
entirely evident that local public opinion sus-
tains it,
Most Of the bills to which we refer authorize
or make mandatory the appointment OF new
officials, clerks, stenographers, and all sorts oil

officials VIII do not work two hours day. IL
does not MED a single additional employe OF
anv kind or description for which existing law
does not amply provide It's salaries are al
ready nor, than liberal. Not one OF them
should be raised. We pay better salaries than
any other municipality in America
Does the Legislature understand in what

penditures {? Does it appreciate the fact that
two-thirds ,1f the enormous burden sustained

enactment eyond the control OF their own

well that the country legislators have not voiun-

under the Gil cumstances they are not lustheu

tribution to dheir body as a warrant for add

hone. not less for the credit of the Republican

nrr IIRANY CAUCUS.

n,o panubIican members of both branches
81 tho Legislature meet in caucus at Albany to-
u;oht ~ discuss excise legislation 1t is i'm
portant both to the future OF temperance ana
70 the well-being OF the Republican party
which is the only party that ever makes tenn
nerauce laws. that there shall be no mistakes.
The Republicans of the Legislature should
confer not only as temperance men, but as
Republicans. for any action which tends to
place the party in false position will retatd
and obStruct the temperance cause.
The statements of ex-senator Miller and
Judge Noah Davis in opposition to the Excise
Commission bill have evidently made deep
impression upon the people Of the State. There
can be no question that there are features of
the bill which are far from satisfactory to
large number of temperance men and the APP
parent willingness Of the liquor-dealers to sec
il become a law is not reasSuring. The bill
offered by General Curtis and the Vedder Tax
bill should have careful consideration. 1t may
be thought wise 10 frame an entirely new
measure. Why should not a committee, com
posed of the fairest and best Republicans Of
both houses, be appointed 70 frame careful
bill and present il to future caucus to be held
at the earliest possible day?
The Republican members should come to-
gether with every desire for harmonious and
courageous action Above all, they should re-
member thai the best service the Republican
party can render to temperance will be to take
no steps backward.

The financial difficulties to which Demo-
cratic manager nent has exposed the country
are brought to- mind again by some recehe
events. Seer staIy Fairchild's deposits win
certain banks, exclusive Of their ordinary
and usual deposits for the convenience OF col
lecting or disbUrsing officers, were about hity
millions when the Presidential election took
place. and are about forty-four millions now.
TO a revenue greater than it needs the Gov
eminent has added this return of several mill
ions by banks which do not want to hold pub
lie money after a new Administration comes
into power, or which prefer to sell bonds now
that Treasury purchases have advanced the
price, or which find in the present state OIL
business scanty employment for funds. what
ever the motive, the return of money operates
to increase the difficulties Of the Treasury be
cause it creates IA still larger surplus to be used
in further bond purchases, and these purchases
in turn tend to render it less profitable for
persons or insti tutionS to hold Government
bonds, when thel' can realize at high prices.
1t is not impos sible that the returns of Dor
rowed money may presently reach large pro-
portions, from a combination Of the causes al
ready mentioned Some banks holding money
are not such that a new Secretary Of the Treas
ury will be likely to judge them the safest and
best custodians Of public funds, and if they ex-
pect that he may withdraw the funds at an
early date, the banks are likely to anticipate
the event by closing their accounts. Other
banks have been in connection with operators
engaged in large schemes, and those schemes
are now ripening in the improved state Of the
stock market Others still have only borrowed
bonds for deposit, and the owners want to sell
because the price has advanced. Others still
want to put the money into undertakings or
paper which will not soon mature, and 80 pre-
fer not to be dependent on the unknown policy
Of future Secretary. But if more money goes
back to the Treasury, there will be so much
more to pay for bonds. Only one hundred and
sixty-nine millions Of 4 1-2 per cents remain
to be retired. and over seventy millions were
held February as security for Government
deposits and circulation.
Next comes the rapid surrender Of bank
circulation, which is also the fruit Of Demo-
cratic policy. Not only have the Democrats in
lCengress refused ts pass any act designed to

rur cIy1L INTERPRETATION.

Two bills are pending in the Legislature
both of which appropriate $l,OOO,OOO to pay
for projected improvements upon the canals.
The difference between the two measures lies
in the fact that one OF them provides that all
extraordinary repairs shall be done by con-
tract while the other directs that such repairs
shall be made under the direction Of the Super
intendent OF Public Works. "The Canal De
fender~ newspaper published in the interest
of the boatmen, states that IL is the general
remark that S5OO,O0O would get as much work
done by contract as million would expended
by any Superintendent Of Public Works" This
statement is important if true. The chances
are that it is altogether too sweeping. Before
passing either bill the Legislature would do
well TO inquire diligently in regard 70 the two
methods of doing work on the canals. Let
the State spend its money to the best possible
advantage.
Last years appropriation, as originally in
troduced was for 81, 100000. But many of
the best friends Of the canals in the Senate
and Assembly regarded that sum as unneces-
sarily large The result was the passage Of q
bill appropriating $4,000 That piece Of
history is likely to repeat itself at the present
session unless IL can be made to appear that
the canals would suffer If any less amount than
81 900, 900 was expended upon them this year
OF course those who look with disfavur unon
any and all canal appropriations still make
themselves heard. So, too, do those who are
perfectly willing TO see the canals enlarged and
otherwise improved. provided that the gen.
