An ABSURD PRETENCE.

Casting about for materials with which to
construct character for David b. Hill, "The
Bnghamton Leader remarks that 1.-The ac-
complshment of ballot reform was great
victory for the Governor. Mr.. liilfs par
tisans must be hard pressed when they begin
to put forward pretenccs in his interests as
conspicuously false as this one is. The record
shows that Governor Hill is just as good a
ballot reformcr as he is a temperance refOrmer.
and every saloonkecpcr in the State would
laugh at the assertion that he was any sort of
temperance rcformer But did not the Gov
ernor sign a Ballot-Rcform bill last winter?
Yes, he did; but not because he wanted to
sign it, He placed his signature to the bill
for pocy's sake, not for principles. Nor was
this measure the one which was prepared by
those who have ballot reform really at heart.
Their bill was the original Saxton bill, and
that bill Governor Hill destroyed with his
veto. Bafied in their efforts to place an ade-
/ auate Ballot Reform law on the statute books
of New York, Mr.. Saxton and those acting
with him prepared a compromise bill, regard
! ing half a loaf as better than no bread and, as
we have said, the Governor signed the com
promise merely for poicy's sake.
| There is full warrant for saying this. But
| for him ballot reform would have been an ac-
complished fact in this State two years ago

THE NEW TARIFF.

The Senate Finance Committee has reported
the Tariff bill. and Democrats seek consolation
in observing that every schedule of the Nc
Kinley bill except one has been changed. This
is true; in every schedule there are from 10
10 1s2 separate provisions, and il happens that
some of these are altered in every schedule
except that relating to tobacco. But tho i'm
plication that the Senate and the House differ
radically and generally on the tariff is entirely
false For instance in the silk schedule there
are twenty provisions, of which only two are
changed in the paper schedule three are
changed out of fifteen in the sugar schedule
three out of eleven; in the wood schedule three
out of twenty eight; and in the wool and
woollcns schedule only four out of ffty-four.
Reckoning even the most insignificant altcr-
tons. which are but corrections Of clerical
errors, l49 changes are found in 1,16i pro-
visions of the House tariff, and the following
shows the whole number Of provisions in the
several schedules. the number of changes pro-
posed by the senate Committee in each,
whether upward or downward, or Of such a
nature that it is uncertain whether duties would
be raised or lowered if they should be adopted
