THE VETOED BILL.

In vetoing the bill giving the Mayor OF
New York power of removing all the
heads of city departments and replacing
them with his own appointees Gov.
Flower has greatly dissatisfied many OF
those who are engaged in the effort to
make change in our municipal gov
ernment next November. Nevertheless.
his refusal to allow the bill to become a
law has probably increased the chances
as 1t certainly has added to the induce
mcnts, Of an opposition victory In the
State and Legislature this year without
seriously impairing the prospects OF
an anti-Tammnny result in the city.
The law would have made an anti
Tammany victory complete by sweeping
every Tammany city official out OF exist
ence. That was the reason OF the pas
sage of the bill. But the Republicans
have signined what policy they Will
pursue next year II they win, and should
they gain the Mayor. the Governor and
the Legislature, II is well known the
bill now vetoed would he repassed the
first or second week OF the next leglsla-
tive session.
The Governor seeks plausible justi-
ficntion for his veto in the reports OF the
Fassett Investigating Committee of 1880
and 1891 and the Tiden Municipal Com
mission of 1876. In both those documents
objections were made to the Investment
OF the Mayor with the powers given in
the vetoed bill. the Tilden report decllr-
ing thRt 1t woI,d be "suiclal' to put
into the hands of n single man the con
troll of the large city appropriations.
now over forty million dollars. "to keep
himself IN place" But the advocates OF
the We u bill have reached a different
conclus.u1 from experience and believe.
In addition to the necessity OF driving
Tammany from its intrenched power. that
II Is better to give the Mayor the fun
benefit OF friendly government and to
enable each Mayor to select his own sub
ordirates and thus concentrate and con-
firm his full responsibility for good gov
ernment
However. the law is killed for this year,
and there Is general belief that the
veto Is more the work OF the Governors
advisers than his own voluntary act.
One fact Is certain. The Mayors
Power-of Removal bill was the measure
the most earnestly pressed and the most
anxiously hoped for by all the city gov
ernment reformers. and the most dreaded
and the most vigorously opposed OF all
the reform bills by the Tammany poll
ticians. 1t is therefore clearly seen on
which side the veto IL cast.

To Whiten the Teeth.
