TILE NiIAL RECIEW.

The approaching naval review in the North
River will be an unprecedented spectacle IN
AmC rican waters. With seventeen vessels IN
the United states squadron and with ccrtlInl!
twenty-thrce foreign war>hp> il Will he Il
naval event Of great importance. lnaSnuch a
water paradeS during recent years have been
dull and disappointing affairs when viewed
from the roofs Of buildings on Broadway AT
long distance, there is well founded apprchcn-
sion lest ,ghtsccIS may be unable to make the
best Use of an opportunity fer witnessing these
naval manoeuvres. According T. pre'cn; az
rangements the column in review VIII extend
from Thirty fourth - Eighty ninth =. IL has
been suggested that the comfort and safety OF
spectators will be greatly promoted il the ncI'h-
ern limit be extended 10 Onc-hundrcd-a and
twenty -fifth-st - a 10 convert the slopes Of
Riverside Park and the river bluffs and avenues

not too late 10 altO the arrangements 50 rs 10
relieve the pressure Of the crowds at the piers
and bukhcadS overlooking the cont mplaicd
scene Of :hc manocuyrcS.
1t will be an mrivalicd Opportunity for com
pairing the lines and characteristics Of European
and American cruisers. With the Jean Bart

Australia the Rena Rcgcnte. the Kaiserin Au-
guSta. the Van Speyk. the General Admiral the
Aqudaban and the Neuvc de Julio, foreign
navies will be exceptionally well represented
The United States feet while not strong III

nest formidable one ever maSSed i'll American
waters. 4 few years hence IA more complete
exhibit OF the naval resources Of the Nation
will be possible but in view Of the compare
lively short period during which the Building
of modern feet has been undertaken Amcri-
cans will have no cause for humiliation Oh the
occasion Of the international review.

no voice in the selection OF candidates. mat
is left to the leaders so called. This Legs
lature was so chosen. 1t was the creature OF
political machine: the most powerful political
machine Oh the continent y machine that has
not been suddenly brought to perfection, but
that has been growing in power and increasing
in influence year by year until now ITS sway
seems absolute. lis purposes have not been
concealed; its progress has not been s'caithy.
1t pretcnds neither 10 virtue nor morality !;
neither to love of order nor obedience TO law
Its ends are power and plumber; its methods
crook edneSs, corruption and violence.
These are facts of public notoIicy. Why.
then. if the majority Of voters are honest, well
meaning and sincere. have they contributed to
the concentration of such enormous power IN
its control? They elected Governor Flower 4
year and u half ago. They saw Immediately
a series of the most shameless political rascal
tiles perpetrated with the sole purpose of faStcn-
ing the rule OF the machine permanently upon
the state. Did they protest? Certainly "Thc

they were working harder than ever, side by
side with machine leaders, in their interest and
for the pcrpotuation of their power. Every
enc of them dumb as an oyster over tho shame
full and criminal processes by which the ma
chine had laid hold of power. Why? Simply
because they thought the election of Cleveland
was essential to the salvation of the country
and believed the aid of the machine was essen
tial to Clcveands election. They made their
bargain. Openly or cOvertly, by express con-
tract or tact understanding, they made it.
And thereby they brought in the Cleveland Ad-
ministIation with the malodOrous Legislature
that has just adjourned as enc of it's conditions
and its incumbrancc.
Was it worth it? The Legislature had hard
" started on its shameless career when all
these journals opened on it, and their denunGa-
tonS Of it have never Slackcncd since. The
question who is responsible for the late Legs
lature is answered. First Of course, the ma
chino that made the selections Next the men
and the newspapers who. with fall knowledge
of machine men and methods, traded with ];
for the Presidency. Was il good bargain?

Washington for two months and ~ Albany for

HAS 1T FORTH ITp

Our Legislature at Albany has adjourned
1t has left behind it an OdOr not altogether
of sanctity. Its trail is not of living light its
results not wholly benefcent. 1t may be said
of it indeed that it attained pre-eminencc; and
that its pre-eminence was SO clean-cut. so abso-
lutte, so unaoyed, that no one who knows any
thing of its history need be told the direction
in which it led all its predecessors and broke
all records. 1t was not one Of the worst. but
undoubtedly without exception the very worst
that ever was 1t has not the poor mitigation
of the humorous evil-dOcr who, upon being told
that he was the worst scOundrel that ever
went unhung" replied, with smile: "Oh,
guess you don't know my brother JIM" Never
in all its history has the State been SO humi-
ated and disgraced us in the session Just closed
by the bullying manners, the arrogant assump-
ton, the clustering blackguardi,m and the
bunc0-stecring trickery Of the two scheming
and plotting politicians who held the gavel in
of public opinion, so reckless of every consd-
Grafton of public morals, personal honor and
common decency. The highest tribute that the
most bitter and INSCRIPTIONS partisan will pre-
tend 10 pay it is that it did not after all carry
out one or two Of the most heinous Outrages
that it calmly contemplated and seriously dis
cussed. Its omitted crimes are its only eulogy.
That it might have done worse is the only
praise it can claim for itself or cxtcr from lis
most devoted friends.
Who elected this Legislature? Somebody is
responsible for it, Who? 1t would be libel
upon the honesty and intelligence Of the voting
population Of this great State to say that they
with their eyes open, and with full knowledge
of tho character and purposes Of these men, de-
liberatey chose them ont and sent them to Al
bany to make laws. Strictly speaking, the
voting masses are directly responsible But in
the constitution of parties and by the operation
of party machinery the masses have practically

A halt was called last evening in the pro-
ceedings of the Brooklyn Aldermen consequent
upon their recent giving away of important
street railway franchises. 1t was caused by an
Injunction restraining them from doing any
thing further in the matter although in the
mean time it had been agreed between the
Mayor and the railroad companies that payment
should be made for the franchises at the rate
of 50. 900 per mile. The injunction, although
net based directly upon the Aldermen's reck-
lessness in granting valuable franchises without
compensation, was a startling reminder to them
that the courts stand between unfathfu OIL

1t is not likely that the Democratic press will
have much to say regarding the State tax rate,
which was made public yesterday. 1t furnishes
proof positive OF Democratic extravaganza.
The rate is 2.5S mills, almost twice as large
as two years ago, when there was Republican
Senate to Heep curb upon the Democratic
Assembly. The rate then was 3-s mills-the
lowest in thirty-six years. That the Democrats
appreciate the situation is proved by their at
tempt TO create the impression that the tax
rate was only 2.24 their trick was promptly
exposed by Senator Saxton, who made it clear
that the tax for the support of the State asy-
tums had not been counted in. But the rate
