A HARD NUT TO CRACK.


Senator Sloan in his address on taking the
chair of the Saratoga Convention, framed a
crushing indictment of the policy which Gov
ernor Hill pursued in reference to the appro-
priations passed by the last Legislature. No
person was better qualified to expose the Gov
errors false pretences than Mr.. Sloan. lie is
known all over the State as one Of New-l orkS
most sagacious and successful business men.
In political circles he is rated as one Of the
most unseliiSh and trustworthy lawmakers ever
sent to Albany. As chairman Of the Finance
Committee of the Senate Of 1888-89 it became
his duty TO play a prominent part in shaping
fiscal measures and seeing them safely through
the two houses.
1t is this sagacious and faithful legislator,
whose vote and influence are always found on
the right sde who contends that the Gov
ernors economy in public affairs is of the bogus
order The facts which he marShalled to sub
stantiate this charge cannot be put aside. We
advise our Democratic friends in newspaper
offices or on the stump not to fool with them,
for they are loaded. The point which the SEN
ator made in reference to the Governors fail
ure to veto the entire Supply bill was partic
uIarIy forcibe. Every Democratic organ is
engaged these days in printing in big black
type the sum total of the items which the Gov
ernor killed Consequently, they are pointing
to these figures and remarking to their read
els: "You see, Hills vetOes amount in all to
S1,808, 55O-doesn't that prove that he is a
thorough going economist an ardent friend of
the taxpayers" Senator Sloan neatly pricks
this bubble. Mark how he does it, The tax
tate for the year was fixed before the Governor
passed upon the Supply bill, so that no matter
what he might do with the items of that bill
whether he vetoed them all or approved them
all, the rate could not be in the least altered
If the Governor was sincere and earnest in his
professions Of distinguished consideration for
the taxpayers, why did he not veto the Supply
bill in it's entirety and then reconvene the
Legislature so as to afford it an opportunity
of examining the measure in the light Of the
vetoes? If the items to which he objected or
any Of them had been erased the tax-rate
could have been proportionately reduced. Why
did the Governor prevent such revision
Simply because, regarded as an economist, he
is fraud. lie did not care a straw about
bringing down the tax-rate. All he desired
was to furnish his partisans with some figures
which they could juggle with.
Or course, this Democratic nd-economy
game would not be played so assiduously wele
it not that the party finds itself this fall dest-
tute of better campaign ammunition. amy
port in a storm is the cry of the Democratic
managers Realizing that they cannot go be-
fore the people on the party's record, they have
apparently resolved to ignore the record and
rely upon false pretences-and the rum power.

4 LARGER APPROPRIATIONS NEEDED

There are indications that an attempt will
be made at the coming session of Congress TO
cripple the work of the Civil Service Commits
sion by reducing the amount of the approplia-
ton, which is already painfully inadequate. 1t
may be remembered that such an attempt was
made last December but its success was not
sufficient to warrant the opponents of this wise
reform in renewing such tactics 4 motion
was made to strike from an appropriation bill
the item providing for the salaries of the Civil
Service Commissioners. No more direct attack
upon the Civil Service principle could have
been made; but when the question was put to
a vote only twenty-five members were willing
to go on record in favor of it, and every one
of the twenty-five was a Democrat Not n
single Republican lifted bis voice or cast his
vote in furtherance Of what would have been
long step backward in the path of reform. We
feel certain that il a similar effort is put forth
next winter to throw Obstacles in the way OF so
excellent a cause, no greater success will be
achieved.
But in addition to the plain duty Of keeping
the way clear for this reform, every Republican
member Of Congress ought to do all in his
power TO extend its sway. There is one simple
way in which this can be done. That is by
giving the Civil Service Commission larger
appropriation, and thus enabling it TO do its
work more effectively. The total appropria
ton for the present year is only $4,000.
Nearly one-third OF this $4,000, is required
for the salaries OF the Commissioners, and for
the travelling and other expenses Of themselves
and their examiners S5,250 is allowed. Hence
there is less than 50 5000 left for the working
expenses of the Commission, and the wonder Is
that il has been able to attain such high de
glee Of efficiency with such a limited amount
At IFS command The work is now behind
hand. and an increase Of force IN needed On
the question Of n more liberal policy toward the
Commission Mr. Henry Cabot Lodge, in re-
cent forecast Of the work of the coming Con-
gress. had wise word TO say
For the present We have law enough, Ehd all that

AIR nEPEW,S SPEECH.

The Republicans of New York Will douot-
Iess have the pleasure Of listening to many
stirring speeches between this and the Tues
dav after the first Monday in November.
O,r marty in this State, as elsewhere, is rich
in eloquent, persuasive orators, and there Is
much in the present political situation to In
sndre these silver tongued Republicans to do
their best.
II Is certain, however, that the address which
Mr.. Depew delivered at Saratoga on Wednes-
day will not readily be surpassed by any OF the
efforts which succeed it this fall 1t was
CONTACT and cogent exposition of the difference
between Republicanism and Democracy, as the
two stand revealed in the attitude OF the two
narties to-day upon cardinal American issues.
Az q result of the contrasts which Mr.. Depew
drew so sharply it was impossible that those
who listened 30 his words should not have had
the conviction freshly borne in upon them that
the Republican party, true to its history and
to the principles which brought 1t into peing
ia still devoted to those things which promote
the prosperity OF the country; while the De-
moc1acy. as ever. Is on the wrong side OF the
vital issues and is in league with the worst in
fiuences.
The speech produced great impression upon
all who heard it. and would make an admirable
campaign document. 1t is genial and mod
eyate. but is at all points trenchant and con-
vincing. The State Committee can be depend
ed upon to see that copies Of it are scattered
broadcast over the State. 1t will interest and
delight everybody with the possible exception
of dyed-in -the-wool Democrats. And where
the dye is not too deep hopeful conversions may
be looked for.
