Although the baseball season is S

Although the baseball season is still young, it
has already been settled that the way to pros
perty for the opposing organizations is to stop
fighting. The attendance at the games has
been much smaller than was expected and it is
clear that either the League or the Brotherhood
will have to rearrange its schedule, or else both
must face a financial loss. While the Brother
hood games have attracted more people than
the League contests, the attendance at neither
has been large enough to pay the running ex-
penses The baseball public might support
both upon non-contcting basis, but it plainly
will not do so with the present arrangement of
games.

Ten or eleven busy days are before the men,
bers of the Legislature, as a large amount OF
work remains to be done prior to the adjourn
ment on Friday of next week. The Assembly
in particular has many important measures to
dspose of. The Ballot-Reform bill, in the
form in which it unanimously passed the SEN
ate. is likely to meet with no opposition in the
Lower House. Closely connected with this
measure is Senator Linson's bill extending the
law requiring personal registration to all the
cities of the State. This was passed in the Sen
ate by an almost unanimous vote, and favorable
action on it by the Assembly will remove one
Gagrant cause of dishonest elections. In the
press of business which the last days of the
session at Albany are sure to bring there is
grave reason to fear that desperate attempt
will be made to pass the Aqueduct-Claims bill,
the iniquitous character of which has been so
thoroughly exposed 1t is now given out that
the bill has been abandoned, while, in point OF
fact, its supporters arc engaged in still hunt
for votes. The Assembly certainly cannot al

estimated that hundred thousand panes of

lowed, much damage was caused by the water
pouring in through demolished windows and

Shiloh was the great battle OF immature

II the real purpose of the investigation
conducted by the Senate Committee on
Cities is to devise useful legislation, some
profitable lessons to that end were furnished
by the examination OF Police Inspector
WILLIAMS on Tuesday.
1t is evident that the police are not chiefly
responsible for the failure to enforce the Ex-
else law vigorously and effectively. The Of
tenders are arrested, but the difficulty
seems TO be to get them tried by the magis-
tratcs who have jurisdiction. IF stern
measures we're taken by the courts" said
the witness. cor by the District Attorney to
| secure the conviction OF some of the
| violators OF law whom the police arrested,
| much good would be accomplished" Under
the existing practice, however, according
to the testimony Of the Inspector, the trials
are postponed too long, and even In cases OF
conviction only small fine is usually i'm
posed. The number Of arrests for violations
of the Excise law is SO large that the present
force of the District Attorneys Office is
probably not large enough to prosecute all
the cases promptly. Il ought TO be practical
ble however, to provide by statute for some
more speedy method Of prosecution in this
class of offences.
But the most important change In exist
ing laws recommended by Inspector VIII
L1AMs relates to the manner Of granting
licenses to sell liquor. He would license
only the owner Of the property, and not the
lessee or other occupant; and In case the
Excise law were violated in that place, he
would absolutely prohibit the further sale OF
liquor there.
There is much merit In this suggestion.
There can be no reasonable objection to thus
making tho owner Of land directly response |
BILE for the uses to which it is put. Let him
turn his building or portion OF 1t into a
liquor saloon il he likes, but prohibit its |
further use for that purpose the moment it
appears that the laws which regulate the
in which the business shall be trans
acted have been violated on the premises.
This imposes no burden on the owner which
be ought not TO be willing to assume. At
the same time such rule would tend to
prevent violations of the Excise law, mas
much as it would make landlords directly
In having the law obeyed.
The plan proposed by Inspector WILLIAMS
would turn every landlord Of property where
liquor is sold into q conservator Of the
)eace, SO far as the Excise law is con-
erned. This would be q notable addition to
he police force in every large city. The idea
good one. and ought to be practically
pplied in the excise legislation of the State.

A Short Campaign and Great Victory
for Frce Citizenship.

Tho Superintendent OF the Census has
Issued an order instructlng his subordinates
TO make or procure no arrests for refusal to
answer the obnoxious questions on the
schedule. "All legal proceedings" says
Mr.. PoRTER's circular, will be instituted
by the Washington office through the De-
partment of Justice"
This Is an abandonment Of the indefensi-
bic position assumed by the census officers
when public attention was first directed to
the outrageous character OF tho proposed
inquisitlon. There was much insolent and
defiant talk about the duty OF the enumcr-
ators to extract the desired information by
harsh means II necessary, about the obllga-
tlon OF the Bureau TO enforce the alleged
law. even II tho process OF enforcement
should be disagrecable and about the power
Of the enumerators, as sworn officers OF the
Government, either to arrest any
man or woman Utility OF the "misdemeanor"
OF refusing information, or to call in the
nearest policeman and have the guilty per-
con arrested, fined, and perhaps imprisoned.
These threats were probably pure humbug,
designed to intlmidate citizens, and TO pro-
euro, by the false pretence Of intended
severity, statistical information that was

elf-respecting citizen. Nevertheless, we
are bound to say that the foolish attitude Of
the census people has contributed not lit
tie stimulus to the public indignation that |
has at last forced the Bureau to surrender |
and withdraw. |
There need be no apprehension In any re-
fusers mind concerning the subsequent |
illegal proceedings through the Depart
ment OF Justice" darkly limited at in Mr..
PoRTER's circular. The Department of JUS
tice is not going to indict prosecute, and
attempt to punish anybody for declining to

her chronic diseases. bodily defects. and Pc

tration will not render itself both odious and

citizens for a bogus misdcmeanor defined by

great piece offolly should be attempted, the
citizen would be perfectly SAFE as some ofthe
most distinguished lawyers in the country
pointed out in the columns OF TIE Sun yes
erday morning; and, in the opinion Of the
'ame eminent authorities, his ground OF
lction for false Imprisonment would be clear.
Every American should be gratitied at the
'ictory which has Just been gained by
ound public sentiment. 1t means o vast 1
eal more than immunity on June from
