yr yo uITE + SB0RT SESSION,


The fact that February ends this week may
we'll serve TO impress upon the minds OF our
lawmakers at Albany the necessity of pushing
things few days ago Speaker liuSted took
occasion TO compliment the Assembly upon It's
dispatch of business, and he assured the mem
bcrS that if they continued to work with the
same industry and efficiency until the end oil
the session final adjournment could take place
at an unusually early date. The speaker
doubtless was correct this can be short Sos
sion-short but fruitful if the majority which
has the responsibility for legislation chooses
70 make il 50. The new Assembly rules are
working satisfactorily and much of the i'm
portant business of the wear Is well advanced
in both houses Nevertheless word OF eau
ton is by no means out of place Ii Is good TO
begin well. but good beginning IS sometimes
followed by a bad ending II the session oil
1890 is TO rebound TO the credit OF the E"puh-
leans who have the shaping of it, 1t Is incum-
bent upon them TO be unrcmitting IL their dill
gence and fidelity.
What have they to do before they can think
of adourning? The Senate has passed the
Ballot Reform bill, but it has still to be acted
upon in the Assembly. The llich-LiccnSe hHI
has not vet received any consideration in either
House. Considerable progress has been made
with the canal and the great fiscal measures oi
the session. but none of them have been dis
posed Of. The important series OF bills whose
massage has been recommended by the Rail
road Commission are all in the hands of the
railroad committees, no one OF them having
been reported. The great measures IN which
the metropolis is 50 profoundly Interested, those
providing for rapid transit. have been PARTIALLY
discussed. but as yet there has been no APP
proach to a decision. The popular demand for
a compulsory education law. to take the place
of the dead letter now encumbcring the statute
book. has still to be met and the same remark
APPLIES 20 State supervision Of the insane. All
this legislation is OF the first importance. The
propcr disposition OF each one OF the bills 10
which we have referred will necessarily consume
considerable time. None of them can be
rushed through, none OF them viii be rushed
through How then, is Justice TO be done to
all of them, not to speak Of the rest OF the cslS-
! lativc business which will properly claim At
tcntion, without unduly protracting the session
| Only Ly hard and continuous work especially
on the part Of Republican Senators and Re
! publican A>Scmblymcn.
! Naturally the Democratic minority would bc
resigned if this session should break the record
for duration. For Democrats realize that the
people do not take kindly to Legislatures which
drag their slow length along over many months
The majority at Albany understands this. and
we think il can be depended upon not TO play
into the hands of lis opponents. We have little
fear that it will make a record which will inurc
TO the disadvantage OF our party.

The interest in the voting at Washington on
the place for holding the Worlds fair' wnlch
will begin to-day may be compared TO tha1
aroused when a National Convention reaches
the ballotng point and there are several canui-
dates in the field, each with a body OF wel-or-
gained and loyal supporters. How many Dal-
lots will be needed in the House, and how long
i will take 10 arrive at a decision, are purely
matters of conjecture 1t is hoped that three
ballots may be taken to-day. There has been
GOOD deal of lively canvaSSing going on in be-
half Of each of the four competing cities. The
friends of New York are confident OF getting
ninety-one votes at the start, but it seems TO
be generally conceded that Chicago Will nave
the advantage of 105 votes on the first ballot.
The numerical strength of St. Louis and Wash
ineton is uncertain, and so is the question how
long their advocates will hang together. mat
New-York will get the lions share when the
break comes is hardly problematical.

That the High-Li bill introduced in the
Legislature last week by Senator Hendricks
will be opposed by Governor Hills friends, the
lquOr-dealerS, may be set down as sure thing
1t is intimated, however, that the Governor is
growing weary of their OstentatiOuS display OF
regard for him as their particular pet, and that
he has no ambition to figure in history as
"Whiskey's Governor" 1t would be possible
for him to eiface this stigma to large extent
by signing a IIigh-License bill, and he is such
an adept at quibbling that it would not be diff
cult for him to reconcile this with his previous
course in dealing with the liquor question.
Still it will be wise not to count too heavily
upon the Governors taking the back track in
this matter. If a High License law is ever Sc
cured, it will lie the result of diligent and I'M
renting efforts on the part OF believers in
practical temperance reform. That is what is
called for at the present time.

THOSE SIBERIAN HORRORS.

The regularity with which tales of Siberian
atrocities have been doled out every week by
THE London Times" ever since it became
known that the NihiliSt leader, " Stepniali, was
about to embark a lecturing tour in this
country, is gradually giving rise here to GER
tain amount of scepticsm. The aim of the cur
rent stories to pile Pelion on Ossa in the way
of horrors is too palpable not to awaken an
aversion on the part of cool-headed, common
sense Americans to give unqucstioning crcdence
TO the alleged outrageS. 1t is possible that
there may be certain amount of foundation
for the grueSomc statements of "The London
Times" But it must be admitted that they
reach that journal from a source not only in
terested but also tainted.
The Nihlist who writes under the name
of Stepnials," and whose acquaintance we
are shortly to make on the lecture platform in
this country, is, if not a permanent member Of
the editorial staff Of "The London Times" al
any rate one Of its regular contributors, and its
principal adviser on contemporary Russian af-
fairs. Although singulaily clever writer, his
hands are not unstaned with crime. His real
name is Kazcheffsky, and on August 16, 1878,
he approached General Mezenlzeff, the chief of
the Imperial Russian police, from behind while
the latter was walking with friend in a de-
serted street of st. Petersburg and plunged
twice in rapid succession long surgeons knife
into the Generals back, Just between the
shoulder blades. The assassin escaped, and the
Chief of the Police, who had been only short
time in Office, expired few minutes later in
the arms of his friend

No reader OF the large and varied assortment

the Monday edition of THE TRIBUNE. will fail
to notice in to-day's instalment the number of

The full extent Of the frauds in Jersey City
has not been disclosed, but the revelations yet
TO be made will probably be only cumulative in
character. There ought to be no difficulty in
bringing the minor officials who cOnnivcd at
the frauds to justice-and there will be none if
a Grand Jury can be secured in Hudson County
that viii do its duty fairly and fearleSsly.
Sheriff Davis, however, will, in the regular
course OF things, supervise the drawing of the
jury, and there is reason to fear that it may be
manipulated in the interest of these criminals,
as Davis is one of the Democratic bosses. In
well-ordercd community this would of course,
be impossible but Jersey City has been the
prey of unprincipled politicians so long that
such thing as justice when one of the gang"
is accused is hardly to be thought of. Still, a
way may be found even there to punish these
ballotboX suffers and the punishment should
include the principals in the conspiracy as well
as the tools who carried out their orders.

There is a Judge in Massachusetts, whose con-
sistencv compels our admiration. The laws OF
that State forbid public bar They also require
that a foreigner must be Of good moral char
actern to entitlc him to citizenship. Having
regard for these two laws, the court at New
Bedford has declined to issue naturalization papers
10 n bartender. The law, says Judge Borden
forbade a public bar because it was hurtiui 10
public morals and against public policy. Then q
bartender must be one who makes it matter OF
profit to exercise that sort of influence. Conse-
ouently he cannot be of good, moral character
in the eyes of the law, and, ergo, he is not el-
titled to enjoy the privileges of citizenship IN
Massachusetts This sounds well in logic, and
will work we'll in policy, or would If all courts
took the same view.
