State Legislatures.


Anyone who has access to the
leading newspapers from every part
of the Union cannot fail to be im-
pressed by the practical unanimity
with which they condemn the char
acter aud work of the Legislatures
of their respective States. No matter
what may be the political complexion
of the Legislature, whether Demo-
cratic, Republican or Populist, the
general judgment as expressed i'll the
newspapers seems to unite in ver-
dict of glaring incompetency or
wholesale corruption. It is one of
the most serious and distressing facts
of the time that State Legislatures
have sunk SO low i'll dignity, charac-
ter and efficiency. We believe the
late session of the Tennessee Legis-
lature was far above the average in
the country as a whole, as it certainly
was above the average in this State.
AS rule our State Legislature is
composed of men of mediocre, or less
than mediocre, talents-men without
experience in public affairs, and who
have never given any intelligent con-
sideration to the questions with re-
spect to which they are called upon
to legislate. Measures of great merit
are often defeated because of the
cautious ignorance of legislators who
will not vote for what they cannot
understand; measures utterly vicious
are passed because legislators have
not the penetration to see further
than the plausible exterior, stupid
prejudices are substituted for con-
sidered opinions, rampant demagogy
masquerades as patriotism, the crafty
lobbyist gets in his work, the reck-
less haste and hurry on the heels of
the session is the necessary sequel to
weary weeks of vapid oratory and
fruitless debate. Such is a brief his
tory of the average Legislative session
i'll every State of the Union. There
seems to be a lack of incentive to in-
tellectual men to seek political hon
ors in this direction. To men who
are making living at home it is a
sacrifice to so to the Legislature it
is profitable only to those who use
their opportunities for illegitimate
gain. AS a rule the calendar is crowd
ed with all manner of useless, frivo-
lous or preposterous measures which
must be solemnly considered and de-
bated, while the term is limited and
time is valuable. It is not possible
to give serious consideration to all
the measures that are dumped into
the General Assembly by the wheel
barrow load in the limited time it
has for action, and the time required
for sitting out the bad and the foolish
from the meritorious is much greater
than the time consumed in effectiv e
work.
Yet there are larger opportunities
for the practical statesman in the
State Legislatures than there are for
most men in the Federal Congress.
There is more chance for man to
win enduring reputation and to ac-
complish good for the people by lead
ing an effort to place the matter OF
State taxation, for instance, upon o
sound and scientific basis than in
spouting to the empty air in the halls
of Congress. He who can find a
remedy to arrest the decay of oul
State Legislatures, to elothe them
with dignity, to attract to them the
ambition and the services of the best
talent, can do timely, a great and a
much needed service.

Many Candidates for Admission tx
amIned Yesterday Term Begins
To.day-One Hundred Students.
Examinations for admission to the Yale
medical school were held yesterday, quite
a large number Of candidates presenting
themselves for examination. The regular
term of this department commences to
day. 1t is estimated that the total number
of students in the junior, middle and SEN
ior classes who will study medicine this
year will amount to about one hundred.
Sin 20 the numerous improvements in this
department during the past year the school
will rank favorsbly with any medical col
iege in the United Ststes. This new chem
ical laboratory has just been completed
and Is structure to bs proud of. There
Is every facility for the study of chemistry
in all it's different branches, with all the
modern improvements. This old bistolog-
ical recitation room and laboratory have
been combined into large laboratory for
the study of histology, which is thorough
ly equipped with oil the necessary para
phernalia. The dissecting room has been
thoroughly overhauled and renovated, and
good work is promised in this department,
for the coming term. The dispenssry on
York street, which ia an accessory to this
school. has undergone several changes fol
the better, and the medical student who
attends tho Yale medical school now will
have no opportunity to complain of lack Of
advantages.

LARGE LIST OF PENSIONERS.

Very Nearly a Million on the Rolls
on July L Bat on September L
There Was shown for the First
Time Since the War a Net Decrease.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 4-The high water
mark as to the number of pensioners on
the rolls and the amount of money to be
expended per year has evidently been
reached.
A statement prepared at the pension
bureau shows that on July 1, 1898. there
were $50, OLE pensioners of all kinds being
borne upon the rolls. On September 1,
1898, two months afterwards, there were
only 964 1893, showing a net decrease dur
ing that time of l GA pensioners. This is
an average net decrease of s07 per month,
and if extended through the year would
show a net decrease of 8 ,6S4.
This is the first time in thirty-thr
years, or since the war, that a net decrease
to the rolls has been shown. II Ia esti-
mated at the bureau that the loss TO the
rolls during the present fiscal year. by
death, remarrisge, minors reaching the
non-pensionsble sRe, etc, will reach 80,
600, as against 35, 900 last year. Aud 1t Is
not thought that the additions to the rolls
will reach much more than 40 1000
These figures mark an epoch in pension
matters long expected, but has required
about thirty years to reach.
