THE GOVERNOR on THE POLITICAL SIT
UATION

"FFom what | can see" remarked Governor
Hill. in recent interview " the outlook for
Democratic success was never better. We
have the harmony for which our friends of
the other side are yearning at present, and |
think the Democrats will not only elect their
state ticket this fall, but a majority in the
Legislature as well.n "The Albany Argus
is so much impressed with the value of these
observations of the Governors that it gives
them prominent place in its editorial column.
All the same, they belong in the catalogue de-
voted to what has been styled "clotted non
sense" Are the Democrats of this State har-
monious lust now? They are not, and nobody
is better aware Of that fact than whiskey 5
Governor. Democlacy's chief stronghold in
this State is the metropolis, but the metro
politan Democrats do not pretend to be har-
monious. They are divided into Tammany and
the County Democracy and these two factions
stand ready to-day, a. usual, to cut each others
tbroats. Besides, there is every reason to he
lieye that a large number of influential Demo-
Gratis in this city and throughout the State re-
sent Hills leadership. This element Of the
party made itself felt not long ago on the occa-
sion Of the complimentary dinner to ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland. Are the intelligent and high
minded Democrats who then attested their con-
tempt for Hill BY frankly Kissing him when he

The ordinary and pensions payments were
only 81. 100000 smaller last year than in
1887. but have been nearly S14, 900, 600 larger
this wear than in 1887 II the various De
nartments have been catching up with arrears
If work 50 that claims have been adjusted for
a considerably larger amount than would usual
ly become payable within two months, that
fact might well have been made clear. The
Secretary indicates that large drafts have been
made by Departments in anticipation of official
reouirements. and the official reports show that
there was added S26,5OO,0 900 to disbursing
officers, balances between June 20 and August
81, these balances being treated as liabilities
Of the Treasury. But the deposits IN National
hank depostaries increased during the same
time only 100000. The Secretary says that
nearly all the Departments drew in July end
August and placed in the hands of their bond
ed discussing officers, sums for future use
largely in excess Of the expenses for those
monthsD so that one Of them will have bal
ances in hand Of So, 10000 900 after the Sep
tember payments have been made"
This renders it plain that the Treasury did
not actually pay out in July and August all the
money thus drawn and placed in the hands
of bonded discussing officers" and that there
is dishonest criticism Of the Administration in
the assertion frequently heard that eek
nenditures under President Harrison have been
running ahead of receipts" At the same
time. it is not entirely clear why the Depart
ments thus draw or are permitted to draw
largely in advance of their probable require
ments. If the public interest is in any way
served by this mode of transferring funds in
advance of any use for them, some explanation
would be of service. As the matter now stands
the money seems to remain in the Treasury in
every practical sense until it is actually need
ed, and the country is not informed why 1t
should be accounted liability, and deducted
from cash or added to debt month or two
before the Departments are ready to use it,

AN EXTRAORDINARY STORM.

Since the great blizzard Of March, 1888,
Newly orkers have regarded every ordinary
atmospheric disturbance with more or less con
tempt. But the storm which has been howl
ing about their chimneypotS for the last day
or two is attended with several remarkable
features 1t has already lasted longer than
the blizzafd has done more direct damage, and
is more general in its effects. In this immedl-
ate vicinity the winds velocity has at no time
exceeded forty miles an hour; but It's eaSterly
direction and the phenOmenaUy high tides
which have accompanied it have produced I'M
usually destructive results. The damage in
New-Yolk itself has been considerable. Along
the waterfront Easements have been flooded,
horse-cars have been subme, ged to the tops Of
their wheels. and travel has beer Distracted.
The water-side restaurants have been afioat
and large quantities of stock stored in cellais
have been destroyed.
The principal damage, however, is at Coney
Island and along the Bay. For several days
the heavy wind has been banking the water
on these exposed shores and yesterdays alb
normal tides completed the threatened rum.
The marine railway, which was recently moved
back 200 feet has been dismantled. The iron
piers seem to have withStood. serious injury
but the waves made clean breach over the
ConcOurse. The band-stands and bathing
pavihons are in ruins, and the Brighton Beach
race-track is under water. foundations are
general at the other beaches and along the
Jersey shore, and BlackwelPs Island in the
East River is partially submerged. The ferry
boats have made their landings with difficulty {;
one of the Long BIanch boats has had It's
guard-rails torn away by the waves, and tho
line has since stopped running.
The effect of such a chapter OF disasters Is
not lessened by the fact that we know all about
its cause. According to trustworthy obServa-
ton. New-Yo;ll is within the outer edge of
velitable cyclone, which originated in the West
Indies approached Cape Hatteras, then reced-
ed. and is now exhausting its fury thousand
miles at sea- At Block Island which is FUR
ther within the circle, the wind blew yesterday
at the rate of siXty-fOur miles an hour; ana
vessels which have been so unfortunate as to
get even nearer the centre than that have
probably suffered severely. The tides are eX-
planable from two causeS-frst, the near con-
junction of the full moon and the equinox and
second the immense force of the wind. Along
tbe Dutch coast. where the inhabitants are
accustomed to watching the elements, low
tide with an east wind is more dreaded than a
high tide with a wind from an opposite quar-
ter. The worst floods in that low-lying coun-
try have, in fact, occurred when the tide was
low. In the Seine whose estuary is partic-
ularly exposed strong wind frequently inter
fcres with the regular ebb and flow; and at
London Bridge a similar cause has been re-
sponsible for a tidal variation of as much as
five feet The exact height of yesterdays tide
has not been accurately recorded, but it was
from three to four feet above the usual marx.

rose to speak now prepared to follow where he
leads? If they are not, then they cannot be
working for party harmony. since Democratic
harmony, as Hill understands it, is harmony
conditioned upon allegiance to him.
Equally worthless is the Governors express
sion of opinion in regard to the Legislature.
The present Senate contains 20 Republicans
and II Democrats; the present Assembly 70
Republicans and 0 Democrats. And yet Hill,
notwithstanding the fact that the course of his
party's representatives in the last Legislature
was disg' aceful, talks about the Democracy
reversing these figures. He is not only false
prophet, but an exceedingly silly one. The
majority of the districts of this State do not
nropose to give the control OF legislation into
the hands of a party which has opposed all the
great reform bills of recent years. Ever since
he became Governor Hill has been going to
capture the Legislature-that is to say, he an
nuaIy whistles to that effect to keep his
courage up. In 1885 one of the greatest
eff orts of his life had for its object the capture
of the Assembly. A United States Senator
was to be chosen in 1887, and if he could Sc
cure a big enough Democratic majority in the
Assembly, why then he would either go to the
Senate himself or name the man who should
go. But his plans failed mserably. The
Assembly of 1887 was Republican-by large
majOrty-as was the Senate, which held over,
so that Republican, and not Democrat, was
elected to the United States Senate
The next time the Governor allows himself
to be interviewed in regard to the political
situation he would do well to refrain from ex-
pressing opinions which only the marines find
worthy of respect

II Judge McConnels example in refusing to

will be wonderful moving along Of the car OF
Justice In the Anarchist trials and the New

VIGOROUSLY hindered by the over-conscientious-

"1he Albany Times argues that Democratic
State Convention containing more than 3S4 mem
beers would be unwieldy." Yes, unwieldy from
the point of view of the bosses. Your typical
boss in politics aims to have caucuses and con-
ventions as small as possible, his argument being
the fewer the delegates the easier to fix things
to his liking The Republican State Convention
is more than twice as large the Democratic, and
vet it is not unwicldy However, as has been be-
fore remarked the Republican party IS more
truly democratic than its opponent.
