A SNORT SESSION AT .1LB1NT.

Who wants a long session OF our present
Legislature? Certainly not the Governor. The
sooner he can dispose of all the bills sent him
the sooner be can resign himself to Ic>ign,nG
his present Office and checking his trunk for
misunderstanding, Of course. that he has
not already made up his mind, Ike IA sensible
and not-t0o- greedy q statesman. that he will
depart from the Executive chair On or before
the 4th day Of March, when his term a. United
States Senator will begin. If he goes then
he will necessarily leave the bulk of the legis
atiOn Of the session to be signed vetoed by
his successor. Governor Jones. But it is un-
derst0od that with Characteristic contempt for
official plopIiety, ne will lag SuperfuouS. How
long he will thus lag may largely depend upon
the length of the session.
The Democrats Of the Legislature and their
brethren throughout the State also have reason
to desire a Sholt session. Experience has taught
them that the people take kindly TO legislative
bodies Which gct through thcir business and
finally adjourn without unnecessary delay; and
since both senate and an Assembly aIc 10 be
chosen this fall. it stands them in hard this
winter to do all chat they can 20 please the
voters. They managed to capture the Assembly
at the last election but the unusual victory
will be for year OniY unless they make a Ie-
markably creditabie record. The Republicans,
too, 10 the Legislature and out Of it may well
feel that a short session is desirable also on

The cordial approval given by business men
and Others interested to the selection of eX-GOv-
ernor Foster for Secretary of the Treasury shows
that, in the judgment OF the competent, the

this Important Office. Mr.. Foster is no unknown
quantity. On the contrary, he is well known for
sturdy honesty, wise conservatism and indie
pendent judgment. lie is sound on the great
financial questions of the day and will carry out

In an interesting letter published in this is
sue, our Albany correspondent considers the
Democratic nomination for Governor next fall.
This is a question in which our present Governor
Senator takes profound interest, and it is alto
gether likely that he will succeed in debating
the nomination. In order to further his own
ambitions, Mr.. Hill needs to have a man in the
Governors chair in whom he has implicit con-
fidence and on whom he can absolutely rely.
The two men most prominently considered from
this point OF view are Judge Alton b. Parker,
of the Court of Appeals and Frank Rice, the
Secretary of State. With their great majority
in the State Convention, the rural Democrats
will make the nomination, and from present in
dctions Mr. Hills whips will have them well in
hand before the convention meets
