TIE Rum POWER IN THE ASSEMBLY

TIE Rum POWER IN THE ASSEMBLY
Why do the people Of this State seldom
elect Democratic Senate or a Democratic As
sembly? Simply because experience has taught
them that they cannot afford to do 50. They
have found that the business of Ewmaking has
been transacted most faithfully and efficiently
when the Republicans have controlled the
Legislature. They nave seen that taxes were
highest and the level Of legislation was low
est, that reform went to the wall and the lobby
came to the front, when the Democrats were
in the majority But what about the fu.uie 4?
DO the Democrats who constitute the majority
of the present .i>sembly-there are Gs Of them
intend to make a record during the present
session which will tend to produce the i'm
preston that their party has turned over new
leaf? Apparently not. Their treatment Of
the pending bill amending the Excise laws
the first one Of the series which has come be-
fore thcm-proveS that the Democracy Of this
great Commonwealth Is ~ il has been, the
slave of the rum power j., as it has been, deaf
to public sentiment protesting against legiSla-
ton subyersive of public morality.
1t needs no argument TO demonstrate that
the bill ought not to pass in It's present shape.
AS it stands, it vastly increases the power for
evil of every low dive in this city, and
therefore ia a serious menace OF the public
veal. Reputable citizens differ widely rs 70

On the fifth page o! this issue will be found
a careful and elaborate review of the course OF
prices in 1890. with a comparison between re-
tail prices in September and at the present time
The most important fact disclosed is that the
new tariff has had no appreciable effect ON the
cost OF the neccSsaIies and comforts Oh lie.
The campaign lie so maliciously circulated dur
ing the autumn is thus eTectually nailed. IL
will be worse than idle, however, TO expect any
retractiOn or contIitiOn on the part OF Our
friends the enemy who kept the lie going Us
long as they thought it would help them.

Speaker Reed has the happy faculty of going
10 the root of IL thing and marshang his facts
i'm incontcstablc array. great deal has been
said about the suppression Of debate in the House
by the arbitrary rulings of the present Speaker.
I'm the February number Of The North American
Review" Mr.. Reed points out the somewhat sur
prising fact that the volume OF debate during
the first session of this Congress- which WAS shorter
by seventeen days than the first session of the
last Congress- exceeded the debate of that session
bv one thousand, three hundred and iitty-two
paces Even in the House the excess nearly
three hundred pages" The Speaker draws n
striking comparison with the XXXNllth Congress,
and wittily adds: q" To use the language applied
10 other industries, the output of the House i'll
ls6l-'6a was four million words. and has risen
in lssg-9O to nearly thirteen Millions which must
bc gratifying 10 the friends of debate What
reply can Speaker Reeds partisan critics, who have
exhausted the resources of the language in de-
nouncing his arbitrary rulings, make to this state
ment of facts, which shows that there was actu
ally more debatc-that Is, more speech making
during the present Congress than during its pre-
deccssor when Mr.. Carlisle occupied the chair !?
Did Mr. Carlisle suppress debate?

Tammanys numerous representatives in the
Assembly seem to be occupying most of their
time in devsing schemes 10 extract money from
the public treasury, or in bringing forward plans
Of other peoples deyislng having the same
object In view 4 large number of these prof.
ects are described as fully as they deserve in
an Albany letter elsewhere printed Probably
the other Democratic Assembiymen will no. take
much pains 10 obstuct the passage OF these
schemes. The only hope of the taxpayers is in
the Republican Senate, where a sharp lockout
for Tammany jobs must be unwearlly main
tanned.
The fact that Senator Roesch, of Tammany
Hall, has introduced the bill making the ap-
pointnent OF police matrons mandatory indi-
Gates that the measure is not to be opposed in
the quarter where its success in the Assembly
would be imperilled. Hence the prospects of
it's passage may be considered good. No one
who knows the need Of matrons in police sta
tons or who has tested public opinion on the
subject can have the slightest doubt of the
necessity of the proposed law. Let the Legis-
lature do its duty by passing it again. We do
not believe the Governor will interpcse his veto
this year. Police matrons will be novelty in
New-iork, but = in other cities, notably in

A Handy Remedy for Aleoholl.m.

A writer in the London Lancet directs
attention to the fact that the most recent
remedy for alcoholism is petroleum or
paraffine oil, to which the notice of the
st. Petersburg medical authorities was
called by an accident. 1t appears that
laboring man, who had been drinking
heavily for four days and nights, entered
tn complete state of intoxication a gro
GERS shop. Unnoticed by the shopkeeper
he staggered up to an open cask of petro-
leum and began drinking from it. With
difficulty he was dragged away from the
cask, aud, seeing the large quantity OF
petroleum he imbibed, it was expected
that he would fall down senseless and be-
seriously ill. Instead of this, however, il
is related that the petroleum had cured
him of all the i'll effects of overdrinking,
thenausea, unsteadiness of gait, and head
ache disappearing as if by magic. In
fact, it is stated he leftthe shop sober and
quite another man.

FIRST LANDING OF COLUMBUS IN THE NEW
WORLD

1t was on Friday maraing, the 12th OF
October, that Columbus first beheld the
New World. AS the day dawned he saw
before him level island, several leagues
in extent, and covered with trees like a
continual orchard Though apparently
uncultivated. it was pppuIoas, for the
inhabitants Were ssen issuing from all
parts Of the woods and running to the
shore. They were perfectly naked, and,
as they stood gazing at the ships, ap-
peared by their attitudes and gestures to
be lost in astonishment. Columbus made
signal for thu chips to cast anchor and
the boats to be manned and armed. He
entered his own boat, richly attired in
scarlet, and holding the royal standard,
while Martin Alonzo Pinson and Vim
cent lapey, his brother, put off in COM
pany in their boats. each with a banner
of the enterprise emblazoned with
green cross, having on either side the
letters f. and Y, the initials of the Cas-
tiliap monarchs Fernando and Ysabel.
surmounted by crowns.
As be approached the shore. Columbus.
