he made until the close of the session on behalf
of all of those which have not been already
passed or killed Therefore, we urge the Re
publicans at Albany to be on their guard con-
tinualy. so that no uncallcd-for appropriation
NAV be made The last Legislature increased
the tax rate and by so doing furnished the
Democratic party with a weapon which 1t used
effectively in the fall campaign against the
Repubcans That mistake must not be re-
peated this year. On the contrary, 1t ought 10
be atoned for, not by the adoption OF polcy
of penuriousneSs. but policy of strict econ
omv. leading to the rejection OF any and all
appropriations which are not Immediately
necessary The Democratic leaders keep their
ewes fixed on Albany. They are anxious to see
this Republican Legislature surrender to the
log-rollers. thus allowing every interest that
wants something to get its little bill through.
For if they can convict the Legislature Oh eA-
trayagance they feel certain of carrying tho
Assembly next fall by big enough majority
70 send Democrat to the United States Senate.
The Republican lawmakers have done eX-
celently thus far. They have met the best
expectations. But in view of the many b1lls
calling for hard cash which are now on the
calendar. we venture to sound this note OF
caution. To keep down the appropriations
this snrinc is 10 make the assurance OF Repub-
lican success next fall doubly sure.

KEEP DOWN THE AUTHORIZATIONS.

KEEP DOWN THE APPROPRIAIIONS.
The two great fiscal measures of the session,
tho Supply bill and the General Appropriation
hill have been shaped at Albany in n manner
which has proved very satisfactory to the gen
cral public. Both bills as they stand are clean
and economical. 1t is not too much to Affirm
that no item has been placed in either against
which valid objection lies One OF them the
Appropriation bill, has been finally disposed
Of having passed both houses. The Supply
bill has passed the Assembly, but is still pend
ing in the Senate. 1t is to be expected that the
Senate's action on the Supply bill will be
duplicate of its action on the Appropriation
bil-that is to say, that it will manfully resist
the pressure which will be brought to bear upon
it having for its object the insertion OF new
items or the increase Of some of those already
in the measure. Senator Sloan, the chairman
of the Finance Committee, having the bill III
charge, is one of the most experienced ana
trustworthy of our legislators. and, realizing as
he must, that from all parts of the State comes
an emphatic demand for frugal public expendi-
lures he can be counted upon to use his great
influence for the encouragement of the tax
payer and the Encouragement OF the taxeater.
And the course which they pursued on the APP
preparation bill proves that the other members
of the committee and of the majority will stand
by him.
During the last part of January THE TRIB-
rNE called attention to the fact that large
and varied assortment of bills had already
been introduced providing for taking money
out of the peoples pockets. Many bills OF that
sort have since been presented, while the gen.
oral understanding is that there are more to
follow. When We wrote in January these
appropriations made grand total OF nearly
"a. 500 OO0-what is the grand total to-day
1t might be well for the Finance and Ways and
Means committees to find out and lay the fig
ures before the Senate and Assembly. Some
Of these bills have already slipped through one

WHAT WILL He DO WITH ITf

The Senate yesterday concurred in the AS
scmbly's amendments to the SaXton Ballot hll'
and that great reform measure is now III tho
hands of the Governor. What will he do with
il? VIII he respond to the plainly expressed
wishes of the public spirited elements in both
nolitical parties and in the leading labor organ
izations by signing it, or will he once moro
attest his subserviency to the Democratic
bosses. who see in the bill the destruction OF
their corrupt political schemes, by vetoing it'
II is commonly believed that he will pursue the
latter course There is full warrant Tor TINS
assumption. The Governor has already vetoed
two excellent Ballot Reform bills; he Is known
TO be hostile TO an exclusive official ballot; MS
general record shows that he has no sympathy
with any great reform movement.
Still il is possible that he may conclude on
mature reflection, and on purely selfish grounds
either TO sign the SaXton bill or allow 1t to be-
come law by the lapse of time without ms
SIGNATURE. Let him once become convinced
that his political prospects might be injured II
no failed TO approve the bill and there would
be no danger of a veto. 1t is pretty well under
stood at Albany that the Governor is weary of
tbe appellation Whiskcy's Governor" by
which he mas come W ~ ~ Ni'' - "''''''
II would not be strange if. aS Il shrcWd man. he
reasoned that one who is seeking nomination
for the Presidency cannot afford to have 50 BAD
= name fastened upon him. since 1t suggests
70 the voters of the United Statc>-thc ma
iority of whom. whatever their politics, have {"
prciudicc in favor Of trustworthy public ser
yants-that he is worthless politician who has
made his way by means Of the worst sort OF
forces. But if the Governor does thus reason
then let him beware how he yctOcS the >aNion
Ballot bill. Such a betrayal Of the cause OF
practical reform would deepen the popular
conviction that he has earned the title OF
"Whiskcy's Governor" and it would tempt
many indignant people TO bcStow upon HIM
another name indicative of his contempt Tor a
pure ballot-box.
Hence if Mr.. Hill wishes TO do his own iu'ure
= GOOD turn he will sign the SaXton l1ll. II
he cares ANYTHING for the advancement OF the
public veal he cannot veto it, The measure a.
il stands is doubtless the best one of the sort
that eyer passed a legislative body. II IT be
came a law a number Of additional safeguards

iority in the Legislature have done Their whole

have no fear of the result. But they are mind

such tools as have been selected by Dem

Senator McCarren's bill for the erection OF
bridge across the East River in the vicinity OF
Grand-st. was reported adversely yesterday
and killed by vote of the Senate. The bill
was mistake in that it provided that the cost
Of the proposed bridge should be equally di-
vided between Newly and Brooklyn. The
unfairness of such an arrangement when one
city would receive far greater degree of
benefit than the other was evident to all men
of clear vision, and the words spoken in favor
of the scheme have been few and feeble. We
do not believe that yesterdays vote indicates
that the Senate is opposed to measures intended
70 unto the metropolis and its environs more
closely. A reasonable and proper measure

Mr. Blair's bill received decided setback
in the Senate yesterday. After being amend
ed in Committee of the Whole the question of
its third reading was reached. TO the surprise
of everybody, SO votes were cast in the mega
tive and only 80 in the affirmative. Perceiv-
ing the crisis which had Unexpectedly arisen,
MIR. Blair hastily changed his vote to the mega
tive, thus reserving for himself the right to
move reconsideration hereafter. 1t was a
narrow escape, and indicates that if the bill
is passed again by the Senate it will be by an
exceedingly narrow majority.

Mr. McCarren should have put his bill III the
right shape before introducing it.
A piece of work that is sure OF the approval
of all humane and right-thnking citizens was
performed by the Assembly yesterday III the
passage of the bill providing for the removal
to the State insane asylums OF 'he
insane patients now confined III inc
county poorhouses The measure has the IN
dorsement of the State Charities Aid Assocla-
ton and of alienists generally, and is opposed
only in the interest of the superintendent or
the Poor. These officials are concerned lest
small portion of their income be cut OIL ana
they were able to rally the votes of 90 Assem-
blymen on their side In favor OF the Dill,
however. 60 votes were cast. IL Is reasonable
TO expect that the opposition Will be no moro
successful in the Senate than in the Assembly,
and that this stain upon the fair fame OF the
Empire State will soon be removed.
The CITY Convention of the Republicans OF
Jersey City yesterday nominated MIR. George
F. Perkins as candidate for Mayor. Mr. Per-
l,ins is n business man of excellent standing in
this city, and so far as we are aware there Is
every reason for believing that he will make a
first class candidate and just the sort OF Mayor
that Jersey City needs. He is in no sense "a
politician and has never held any office except
as member of the Jersey City Board of Ed
ucation. If elected, he will give the city
clean, Straightforward, business admnstra-
ton. 1t is not only the duty of all Republicans
to support him heartily, but citizens OF all par
ties who are opposed to the rule of corrupt
and scOundrely Democratic ring should unite
with them in putting Mr.. Perkins in the Mayors
chair. The resolutions adopted by the Repub-
Gcan Convention have the right ring, and fur
nish a good platform on which to win a sub
stantial victory.
