tables Of prices recorded al New York. For
the latter tables show since 1880 an average
decline of more than % per cent in all the
articles not produced on the farm. Meanwhile
the fall in prices Of farm products at this city
has been much greater than on the farms. be-
cause of cheaper transportation, but no record

THE VTNDUP or THE LEGTSLA7 URE.
Under the concurrent resolution adopted
several weeks ago the Legislature will adjourn
sine die to-day. When the week began THE
TRIBI-NE urged the majority to kill the Aquc-
duct lob and the too previous bill to abolish
captal punishment. The advice was taken
The Aoueduct lob died hard, but it has died.
The other measure was easier given its quietus
since il never got further in the Senate than
the Judiciary Committee. to which IT was re-
ferred, and which by an emphatic vote declined
10 report it. An enormous pressure was brought
10 bear on the members in behalf of both bills,
and our Republican friends are to be congrat-
Mated upon the successful issue of the fight
which they made against them. The lobby
has hsen taught lesson which it is not likely
soon to forget, while the friends of honest
legislation may well feel encouraged
Our latest dispatches leave little ground for
hoping that the Rapid Transit hill will get
through Several well-consdered propositions
have been made with the purpose OF ending
fhe deadlock but none of them have been ac-
ccpted. The Republican Senators on the Con
ference Committee have from the first cvinced
an earnest desire for agreement, but they have
lco, AssomhIvren on the committee The
latest of the propositions, and perfectly lair
one fails because of the indefensibe position
taken by Mayor Grant. II provided for a com
mission 10 consist of his five appointecs ana
two Republicans and one Democrat 10 be
chosen by him for the commissioners named
in the original Fassctt bill. II will be seen
that a commission thus made up would consist
of men of the highest character and OF proved
ahilitv-mon who would command the conf
dcnce Of this entire community. But Mayor
Grant chooses TO play the part of a stumbling
block in the path OF rapid transit, refusing 70
select the three additional commissioners from
the FasJett bill \ golden opportunity was
afforded him to bcstow the boon of rapid
transit on New-YOrk. but with characteristic
disregard for the public welfare he declines.
Tho Senate Committee has demonstrated that
he il entirely destitute of anything like public
spi,tt. and now that fact stands out clearer
than ever. He deliberately chooses to prevent
the passage Of the one measure Of the session
in whose support all our citizens were united,
since il would have relieved the SorcS' public
! need. Even Tammany Hall must be IN =
mood 70 rcpudiatc Hugh j. Grant.
II j, but proper 10 add that the record Of
the majority of the Senate on the bill was fair,
honorable and conciliatory at all stages of the
| discussion. The Republican Senators on the
| conference committees cvinced an earnest de
| sire for the passage Of compromise which
each house could accept without feeling that
il was surrcnderng Ovcrmuch They made
several perfectly reasonable overturcS 70 the
Assembly Committee, but none of them was
accepted. Hence the Republicans Of the As
sembly Committee who controlled It's action
must share with Mayor Grant the public odium
which the defeat of the bill inspires.

The Republicans in the Legislature have
kept another of the pledges which their party
has made to the people. Yesterday the AS
sembly took favorable action on the resolution
providng for popular vote on the question
of n Prohibition amendment TO the Consttu-
ton. The Democrats. with two exceptions,
ar,ayed themselves against the proposition, but
GO votes were recorded in its favor. The Sen
ate had already passed the resolution This
is the second Legislature that has ratified the
submission of the proposed amendment and
the question now goes before the people. 1t
is TO be acted on at a special election on the
second Tuesday in April, 1891. No other sub
iect will be voted on at that time, and the
fullest opportunity for fair expression OF
popular opinion on Prohibition will accord

work: There have been only four
new cases in all Texas reported in
the last fifteen days and two of
these were in error. Inow have the
disease under complete subsection,
but it required continuous and I'M
renting work of the hardest kind
to accomplish what 1 have. There
have been no new cases at Waco in
fifteen days. 1t was reported to me
that the disease was at Temple, but
upon investigation 1 found the re-
port entirely unfounded. The quar-
antine at Marlin had been raised
despite the bitter opposition of the
municipal officers of that place The
city marshal who attempted tointer-
fere with my orders raising the
quarantine, is under arrest, and his
little piece of work will cost him
$1,000 and probably six months in
jail. He says there is no danger of
an epidemic. He considers the state
appropriation of $4,000 inadequate
for the protection of the state
against yellow fever and smallpox
and other epidemic diseases and
will ask the next legislature for an
increased sum.
