might not be able to resist. More
over, while the law remains as it is at
present those having the appointing
power will be constantly beset by the
temptation to use it for their political
advantage and advancement. Cases
where this has been done are by no
means rare, and it would be an easy
task to point out instances where
license boards, either with or without
sanction, have been notoriously unfair
and unjust in their treatment Of dealers
who refused political fealty to the APP
pointing power.
If the bill finally becomes law such
abuses and unwarranted exercise of
authority will be impossible in the
future, and the potency of the liquor
traffic in politics will be destroyed-a
result earnestly desired by those who
see in the dominance of the saloon a
constant menace to the welfare of the

The majority in the house has appar-
emily discovered how to get business at
tended to. 1t is not creditable to the
Democrats that the secret is simply the
ignoring OF the minority.
The Republicans had waited and
dawdled and submitted to endless delay
before they came to the conclusion that
nothing could be accomplished except
through the application of the cloture.
Now that it has been determined by
the majority to accept the logical re-
sponsibilty that rests upon them and
torce matters to some conclusion there
are important results.
The attitude Of the Democrats in the
house is perfectly consistent If it is to
be assumed that they mean to oppose
everything and render the session en-
tirely fruitless. 1t can be justified by
no other argument. They stand solidly
in the way of whatever Is brought mp
for consideration. They propose nothing
themselves, but labor to make the ses-
sion farce and useless expense to the
state.
Intelligent opposition is a healthy
element in legislation, but the mere ex-
ercise Of dead weight against all action
is not justiiable in any party or upon
any occasion.

WHY IT sCOLDs.

The criticism of the Civil Service Re-
form club made by the New York
Tribune, that most reformers have de-
generated into " "scolds," is scarcely just
TO reformers i'm general
True reformers do not become scolds,
because with unerring accuracy they
select as the representative exponents
OF their theories those whose qualities
and convictions fit them for the sue
cessful accomplishment of their re-
forms.
IL is only the sham reformer who
with erring judgment selects incompet-
ent assistants and fails because in his
own incapacity the true reform is
over-weighted with side issues, becomes
a scold.
1t is this sham element OF the Civil
Service Reform club of New York that
has caused its present pitiful condition.
II is because the clubs leaders made the
egregious error of selecting the Demo
cratic party aud Mr.. Cleveland as their
truest exponents that it has failed.
1t is in short because the Civil Service
Reform club of New York has been a
club for the dissemination of Demo
cratic doctrine rather than thoroughly
non-partisan reform that the club has
degenerated into a scold and become
practically a cipher in influence upon
this great movement.

The bill providing for the election of
license commissioners by city and town
councils, which passed the house of
representatives yesterday despite of
the undignified obstruction tactics of
the Democrats, will receive the endorse
ment OF all save those who believe the
present method of appointment bet
ter suited to serve their personal and
political aims and ambitions.
Representative Brown Of Woonsocket.
who was the spokesman Of the opposi-
tion, when he accused the Republicans
of introducing the measure to offset the
results of the April election, was as un-
just as he was wide of the truth, but
perhaps accuracy OF statement should
not be looked for from leader whose
colleagues are playing hide and seek in
the corridors of the state house while he
is engaged in the hopeless task of talk
ing bill to death.
SO far as the Republicans are con-
cerned the introduction Of the bill was
by no means the result of sudden i'm.
pulse, nor had the election last month
any influence on their action. II is a
matter of record that very soon after
the repeal of the prohibitory amend
ment they proposed to insert in the
liquor law provisions similar to those
contained in the bill acted on yester-
day, while year ago bill intended to
accomplish the same purpose was pre-
sented, but in both instances Demo-
cratic opposition was successful.
From the outset the Republicans
recognized the danger OF placing the
appointing power in the hands of one
man. II was not so much that they
doubted the honesty good -inten--
tions Of those who might be called
upon to perform the duties Of mayor

district are living NJ least 10 Caucasianx
who claim to be wives OF Mongolians.
Those white wives offer no apology for the
positions they occupy, and declare that
they are happy. The Celestials spend
money freely on their wives and treat them
kindly; hence those who have chosen Chi
nese husbands seem to have no regrets.

Every year about May there is a great

year and kind of balance struck. The
result Is that there are always few
mourners, while the lucky ones breathe
more freely. There are about 40 closed

the last IL months, and majority OF
them should be kept closed A city has
no right to license resort for thieves and
