THE LEGISLATURE AND THE FAIR.

THE LEGISLATURE AM fHH RAIN
The week opens with Worlds Fair prospects
somewhat couded so far as New DIRK Is con-
cerncd and the whole enterprise III more UNI
certain and therefore more unsatisfactory con-
dition than ever. 1t cannot be supposed that
the action of the Legislature on Friday was con-
elusive. The question is certain to be brought
ND again in some form this week, and Congress
will almost certainly wait for an answer. 1t IS
of great importance that the answer should
come at the earliest possible moment ana that
il should be rational and decisive. Speaker
Uusted took the ground that the rejection OF
the conference report was final, so far as that
particular negotiation was concerned, but we
do not imagine that any obstacle exists to pre-
vent the Senate from making fresh effort TO
accomplish a practical result. 1t can, Tor IN
stance. we suppose, take the original Assembly
bill not its own duplicate thereof, and either
pass it in the form in which it passed the Assem-
bly or amend it. The record of debate and OF
votes in the Senate makes it practically impossi-
ble TO suppose that the bill could pass that body
without amendment. The question therefore
arises whether such amendments as the Senate
is already committed to would stand reason
able chance of acceptance by the Assembly.
After two adverse votes on that proposition
if might be doubted whether such a result could
be boped for but on the other hand it must
be remembered that only a small minority or
the total Republican membership in the Legls-
lature is on record against the inclusion of addl-
tional incorporators. A great preponderance
of Republican sentiment in both Houses favors
the amended bill On the final vote last Friday
the Republican opposition was reduced about
one-quarter, and it is at least possible that
further reduction would reward another effort.
If. moreover. as we believe, an overwhelming
popular opinion supports the Worlds Fair pro-
iect, that fact is pretty sure to have been I'M
pressed upon members of the Legislature who
have come in contact with their constituents
since the adjournment, or who have anywhere
engaged in discussions Of the subject.
Though we regard prompt and favorable &C
ton upon the bill as of the utmost importance,
we do not urge any man to vote for 1t against
his conscience But those members who have
hitherto opposed the amendment which makes
the direction of this great undertaking perma-
nently non-partisan simply because they are
individually satisfied with the names originally
proposed. or personally ont of sympathy with
the men who suggested the addition OF new
ones can better afford to yield to the preference
of large majority of their Republican col
leagues than to block great public enterprise
in which they are equally interested with the
whole country.

4 cPEAT POLITICAL MOTFMENT.

One of the most important political move
mentS in this State at present is that OF the
New York Republican Business Mems Associa-
ton. Representing as it does, to a large extent,
that tremendous power of business interests
which, temporarily enlisted in political work.
carried the last Presidential campaign against
all the patronage of the Democratic Admins
tration. its re-entrance into the political field
as an active, permanent, aggressive force IS a
fact full of significance to the party and OF en-
couragemcnt to every member OF 1t.
This movement has been the subject of good
deal of discussion and Of a vast amount of
speculation on the part of the opposition papers.
At first they asserted that it had been started in
the interests of Warner Miller against Mr..
platt and the Republican County Committee.
This theoiy, however, was soon discovered to be
untenable. Mr.. Mller's relations with the
County Committee were found to be entirely
amicable The spectators thereupon sought
refuge in the directly opposite conclusion,
namely. that the Association which has in its
ranks some of Mr. Miilers warmeSt friends,
was working for Mr. Platt The absurdity of
this statement was too evident for its ac-
ccptance The theorists were puzzled. Specu-
lation on the subject was almost at an end
when an infalbIe Mugwump organ made the
alarming discovery that the whole undertaking
was insured by John +. Plummer; that he was
its chief promoter and that the sole object OF
il was the formation OF a "Republican Tam
many" with Mr. Plummer as its " Boss" 1t
is hardly necessary to say that Mr.. Plummer
resigned from the presidency OF the business
Mems Association more than six months ago.
No the movement was not started to
crafty the personal ambition OF any Republi-
can leader. 1t was begun and will be carried
on in the interests OF the whole party. There
is not particle of truth in the allegation that
if aims at the overthrow of the regular party
organization. On the contrary, it will CO
operate heartily with the County Committee
and supplement that body's work. Colonel
Strong, Mr.. Armour Mr.. Thurber, Mr.. Whit
new and the other gentlemen who are at the
head of the association have liberal, far-reach-
ing views and ideas, and the movement will
he conducted on broad gauge principles. 1t
will he far more concerned about getting men
to vote the Republican ticket than of getting
them out of any Republican organization. In
the urinary work of the Association-that of
forming a Republican club in every voting
district between the Battery and kingsbridge-
the leaders do not propose to stop on account
of any difference of opinion that has arisen or
NAV arise as to the details OF the undertaking
As Colonel Strong sensiby puts it: We ex-
pect there will be difference of opinion among
us on many points. That is inseparable from
all political activity But these are not of
sufficient importance 10 cause us TO cease for
moment our labors to bring every workingman
in the city to consider the practical importance

MONEY And BUSINESS.

II there had been any fear that monetary dis
turbance would grow out of the robbery In the
Sixth National Bank, it would have been
allayed by the arrangements made on Saturday
TO pay all depositors in full Yet, it Is hardly
correct to say that the disclosures ought to have
no more effect than bank-burglary upon money
or stock markets. Confidence needs to be OF ex-
traordinarily "bullish' persuasion not to be
at all shaken by sudden vanishing of values
under circumstances which reflect upon the fdel-
ity of persons in places of trust. Dragging ana
doubtful markets are apt TO follow such events
The nublic seems to have begun buying early
last week and there strong market but prices
closed shade lower than on the previous Sat-
urtlay, Notwithstanding surprisingly salts
factory report by the Lackawanna, enormous
traffic returns and earnings exceeding those OF
last year for three weeks in January on seventy
five to eighty roads by 12.7 per cent East
bonnd shipments from Chicago for four weeks
ending January % were 377,3O3 tons, against
q12.Os3 last year, really phenomenal in
crease That the market did not advance with
such reports, and with money in good supply. is
sufficient proof that it was not entirely In
different to bank disclosures.
IL should be added that the monetary future
looked little less satisfactory toward the close
of the week The Bank of England did not re-
duce it's rate and accounts OF probable demands
for gold from the British supply were less favor
able. The accounts of British commitments Of
capital, amounting to 1915, 600 last year, on
which $50. 900, 900 is said by " The London Econ
omist' TO be payable in cash in January, also
explain the present and prospective pressure there
The Treasury took in during the week $780,
900 more than it paid out and yet the banks
gained only $500 900, unless all the cash which
was in the Sixth National Bank week ago be
counted there yet, as some of it certainly Is
not II there are no errors in the statement,
more money seems TO have gone TO the interior
than has been returned during the week, and il
may be observed that dispatches from interior
points, while Indicating rather less pressure for
money by no means sustain the idea that large
amounts have come. or coming. hither from
the interior at present. With foreign exchanges
turning upward, the possibility of gold exports
before long is brought to mind.
No ground for that apprehension is given by
the merchandise movement thus far, for while en-
ports from Ncw-York were 81 1888, 900 less in jan
nary, 500, than in 1889, the decrease in cotton
alone at this port appears TO have been about
$4,000, leaving gain on other products
But the cotton exports from all ports were about
$500, 900 larger than in January last year. from

TIE SING SING PRISON CONTROVERSY

Sing Sing is n good deal torn up just now.
Not the prison but the pretty little place on the
banks of the Hudson which contains that we'll
known institution. The last Legislature passed
an act, which became a law, providing for the
erection of a new State prison and the abandon
ment of the one at Sing Sing. This law has
split Sing Sing village into two factions. One
of these is heartily in favor of getting rid Of
the prison at the earliest possible minute the
other is Just as strenuous in demanding that it
shall permanently stay where it is The former
looks upon the prison as an evil which does
much to interfere with the growth and progress
of Sing Sing no. says the other party it is not
a blight but a blessing.
The quarrel is pretty one as it stands, and
on another page will be found summary OF
the points made by those who are parties to it.
The anti -prisontes argue that it is in vain to
expect that new corners will buy and build at
Sing Sing so long as the village has for its chief
feature prison. Again they argue that the
prison is curse to Sing Sing manufactures.
TO stamp Sing Sing upon their goods is TO raise
the presumption that they are prison and
thus to endanger their sale with members of
the labor organizations. The anti-prisonites
also point out that if the prison was removed
its site would be considerable addition to the
taxable property of the village and would prob
