THE EXCISE BILL At ALBANY.


The Democrats of the Assembly on Wcdncs'
day passed the infamous Liquor bill They
did so with the aid of four members OF tho
minority. The names of these Republicans
who betrayed their party and the public wei
fare were:
Charles 4. Conrady. of Kings,
Adam c. Listman. of Onondaga.
Obcd Wheeler, OF Duchess,
George L. Weeks, of Queens.
Their constituents will know how 10 deal with
these men. 1t is TO be taken for granted
that they will be permanently retired TO private
life as public servants who have made 1t clean
beyond a pcradventurc that they cannot be
trusted Each one of the four was elected by
Republican votes on the understanding that he
was a Republican and in his official action would
faithfully reflect the Republican policy This
scandalous bill, a. they well knew when
they voted for it, is in direct conflict with New
York RcpublcaniSm as it relates To the liquor
question. Whether or not any or all OF the
four were bribed to support the measure, on
whether the Democratic bosses won them over
bv less disreputablc means. is uniinportant
The significant fact is that they played the part
q
affordng much aid and comfort TO the most
INSCRIPTIONS and dcprayed majority which has
cursed the Legislature since the days Of Tweed.
The Liquor bil-an act 10 encourage intcm-
perance. poverty and vice and 10 increase taxa
TOMS now before the Senate. The Demo
Gratis Of that body cannot pass II unless every
one of them votes for il, since they have bare
majority and no more. Hence II al the Re
publican members oppose it and are joined III
so doing hy Mr. Edwards, the independent,
there is chance that il may be defeated. is
il too much TO assume that a high minded Dem
ocrat like General AmaSa j. Parker Will in
dipnantlv refuse T. support "A measure 50 abSo-
lutcly indcfcnslble aS this? If the Republicans
and the Independcnt stand firm in the interest

OF course the bosses will strain every nerve
70 secure its passage in the senate They are
bound 10 do 50, since they are pledged To re-
ward the rum power for services rendered 10
the Democratic party i'll many campaigns. Bu'
how is il possible for any legislator who Is bent
upon doing his duty 10 tolerate il? Every re-
form organization in the State has denounced
il. No reputable organization Of any sort has
favored IT, Who il back OF il? The saloon
and dive keepers and selfish politicians, caring

That is its support, and it has no other. y

One of the jobs by which the Democrats have
hoped to increase their power in the State was
effectualy knocked ont yesterday. That was
the bill to require personal registration Of
voters throughout the country districtS.>- Its
vicious and Objectionable character was so plain
that it received only fifty votes in the Assem-
bly,. There is no necessity of personal regis
tration year after year in the rural regions, and
the enactment of the measure would have
meant the virtual dsfranchisement Of many
voters.

terday before the Senate Committee on Cities
effective arguments against the measure from
a Democratic point of view were presented by
Mr. Ellery Anderson. That prominent Dem

out of town for a day or two, the week
before she was to hold a big official re-

(apparently) her aunt, her intrusion being
much resented by the young lady, who,
! am sorry to say, did not scruple to
utter audible expressions Of annoyance
at the invasion Of her privacy, and al
together tried to make things as awk-

of from 500 to 700 years; the silver fir
