GOVERNOR AND SENATOR.

1t is stated in Washington dispatches
that Senator-elect Hill of New York will
not be present at the opening of Congress.
His term as Governor of New York does
not expire until January, and there is work
which lie deems of Importance which can
not be entrusted to less resolute hands.
This work Is to convert Republican Legis-
lature into Democratic Legislature The
job is nearly completed, but the finishing
touches are still 70 be given. In many in
stances the Republican majority has been
narrow. In some of these cases little ir
Irregularities were discovered that would not
have been thought of II the complexion of
the Legislature had not been at stake. In
one case the vote of precinct was thrown
ont because liquors were sold, contrary to
law, in the building in which the ballots
were cast In another a member of the
Park Commission Of the city in which he
resided was declared ineligible. The new
ballot law was imperfectly understood, and
the plumbers of local boards of canvassers
caused technical errors. A firm hand was
needed in the Executive chair to corral all
these errors and seat Democrats in the Re-
publieans' places. Governor Hill is not
quite prepared to leave the job on his hands,
and is the less likely to do so with Lieu
tenant Governor Jones ready to step into

REFORM THE TARIFF.

a free-trade contemporary says that the
present Congress must reform the tariff
Coming down to details our free-trade con-
temporary does not advise a grand attack
along the line, but kind of guerrilla war
fare on exposed points. 1t thinks the du-
ties might be taken off grain-bags, binding
Irvine, cotton ties, coal and iron ore.
Separate bills making specific reductions
it thinks might pass the Senate and ieceive
the Presidents signature. This is the plan
OF attack that has been outlined by the
free-trade papers of the East. The New
York Times says the position of the Demo-
cratic party on the tariff question is suffi-
GENTLY we'll defined, and that for the pres
ent the party should content itself with
minor reforms which a considerable num-
Der of Republicans would not object 10.
While the party wisdom Of the policy
advised is not to be questioned, 1t is some
what Of an abandonment of the position
held by the party in the last campaign.
Then the issue was protective tariff or a
tariff for revenue, which is another term
for free trade. Now it is proposed to make
the issue the absolute perfection of the
present tariff. The principle upon which it
was framed is not to be considered. Moth
Ing is more clear than that the Democrats
are afraid to go before the country as the
advocates of tariff for revenue only.

AN APT QUOTATION.

The New York Herald recently read Ger
tain so-called American dramatists lecture
on the sin of appropriating other mems
work without credit, closing its reproof with
the familiar quotation. g He who steals my
purse steals trash" The consciences of
two Of the dramatists referred to prompted
a reply. David Belasco said that his name
was attached to Miss Helyet" by his
wicked partner without his knowledg e or
consent. Henry de Mile. another searcher
after hidden pearls, replied that he had
never read the play from which his play
was represented as close adaptation
Both Mr. Belasco and MIR. de Mile declare
their horror of plagiarists. Belasco is espe-
clally severe in his castgation of writers
VINO borrow anything but words from
writers who have gone before. 1t is much
to be hoped that the HerulPs lecture will
not have been read in vain. There might
be some sympathy with the discovere of A
hidden gem, but there can be none with n
person who steals trash.
