UORE FOE THE COMMITTEES.

The Legislature at Albany, all the standing
committees having been named is ready for the
bu.ncSs Of lawmakng There is much of gen
clal interest 10 be done. rs the members must
have realized, if they did not do so before. as
they listened 10 the Governors message. The
makeup Of the Assembly committees is not
Of a nature to warrant the people in INDUCING
in any great expectations. Still, il il to be
said that the Speaker from whose hands they
came was necessarily embarrassed by the lack
Of real good Democratic material for chair
manships and the leading places upon the com
mittccS. He could readily have made them
stronger by placing more Republicans upon
them. But if he had done that the bosses
would have adjudgcd him guilty Of political
treason in the first degree.
What is 10 be done with the tax laws :?
Are they 10 be radically amended in the in
terest Of more equitable distribution of the
public Burdens? How about the canals? Is
The policy Of cDlal cement and Improvement
which adopted several years ago To be
continued and Is any notice 10 be taken Of
the Governors suggestion looking 10 the sub
Sttution Of electricity for horse power aS "a
propeller Of boats? Is u wcll-considclod effort
vice of vagIancl by the passage Of Il Com
pusory Education law which will really com
pei? Are the Worlds Fair managers to get
an additional and much needed appropriation
and get it promptly? What do the Commit
tees on Agriculture think of the proposition
10 establish Bureau of Agriculture? is pub
lie sentiment to be respected, by the passage
of an amendment to the Election law which will
provide for blanket ballot? l. road reform
TO receive the consideration which is its due :?
Is anything to be done with the general Prison
law. with the aim of rendering the prisons less
of public charge? viii the AdirondackS find
in the Legislature an intelligent and efficient

burglars. The former, especially, conhheo III
coils not much larger than summer ho'ei oc"
rooms. and usually utterly unarmed ana wrappc'
in the deep sleep which comes from goou o'Re"-

Some morning the c0nvictS in one OF our P'iso"'

summer hotel proprietor recognizes TINS prhcip'c'

But after all we feel more particularly ior
the prison officials. They are not so helpless az

onous and their pay usually none too high
Standing about all day and holding hea'y

Young men along upper Broadway can testify;
but when q maddenng, day-long whlrl OF hori-

tbeir posts through il all, like the heroic Pom
NOLAN policeman, who found after the
centuries still at his post where he nal stooh
when the awful darkness came, calmly telling
. man from IIcrculanrum the way TO the post
Office.
We would not say 50 much about this matter,
sorios rs t is were not the remedy 80 easy. a. we
have already pointed out. Our prisons mn-e

penit.ntiary wall with a plain, or perhaps
cushioned top, simply invites them to climb

cau,ht and perhaps be found hanging there in
the morning, and the efficient warden couid take
them down and keep them.

NtyOD GILROI'S SCHEMES.

If Mayor GilrOy succeeds IN getting under
way the ambitious projects which he desire
the city 10 enter upon during his term of Office
the city debt i, likely 10 be increased 10y many
millions. He wants new City Hall. The
TAXPAYER who has studied the history Of the
state Capitol al Albany and Of the unfinished
Public Buildings in Philadelphia may well
,huddcr n the prospect The widening and
extension Of Elm->t. are 10 be pushed n an
expenditure Of several millions Of dollars. II
has never been clearly explained why the cN-
tension of Ccn,Ic-St. 10 Lafayette Place would
net benefit the city fully Is much aS the cN-
tension of Elm-st while the necessary ouila!
i'm the case of Ccnilc-Nt would be far Jess than
that for Elm->, broadway J. not >oriOu>ly
congc>tod in these days. and the widening OF
Elm, i, Of doubtful utility II Is proposed
to cut of part of the City Prison IN oldcr
To carry ont the Elm->t. plan. Bat the City
Prison j. already FAR too small and j. flight
fully oyercrOwdcd.
Mayor Gilroy, plans include the spending
Of a great deaf of money on the ThIrd-avc.
bridge over the Harlem River and the king>-
bridge structure over the same stream He
also has in mind a speedway Of hi, own. II"
does not approve the lIcIntz-GIant affair and
in his opposition 10 that fantastic vision of
Panama-likc extravaganza and CORFU ton he
has the support of the grca; body Of dcar-
minded citizens But the Gilroy speedway i
not likely t. be any cheap affair, and it i,
certain 10 afford extensive opportunities for
Tammany enrichment. The Mayors views Is
10 the acquiring Of sufficient land in the region
Of the Croton watershed 10 prevent the con
talnination Of the water supply seem 10 have
much t. commend them. while the rcplying Of
the streets ought certainly 10 be kept mp. and
the high-scryicc water works are probably
needed.
But the greatest gricyanc" which the tax
PAYERS are sure 10 have against all Of Mayor
GihoyS proposed undertakings i, that, in ac-
coldancc with the definitely announced and
clearly expressed policy of Ruler Croker and
Adlutant Groy. business men are 10 be care
fully excluded from the mana cement and d-
rccton of these enterprises Professional poll

PCBLIC OPINION AGAINST THEM

business can be conveniently done. Inc cN-
