Before the special elections OF Jan. 80 In

he, on resuming possession OF the hold
ing, shall pay arrears for not more than
two years, one-half the sum found due by
the nrbitrators being contributed as gift
by the State, and the other half being fur
nished by himself.
The bill gives a landlord the right, when
q conditional order Of reinstatement is is-
sued, to show cause why It should not be
made absolute. II the arbitrators decide
against him. the landlord may demand that
the restored tenant shall purchase the
holding outright. In which case the arbitra-
tors will fix the price. and the tenant must
pay this or forfeit HE rights under the bill.
In the event Of tenants agreeing to pur-
chase, the arbltrators are empowered to adj
vance to him any sum up to $3.50, pro-
vided that the house on the premises should
require repairs.
It is to be noted that this solution Of the
evicted tenants question will cost the Brit

expenses Of the Board Of Arbitration. All

occupants. for arrears to landlords. and
for the repair Of dilapidated buildings are
to be taken from the Irish (Angllcan) Church

the purpose.

Mr.. Anderson. It was alleged, entered into .

Company. by which he was to receive salary
as manager and one-fourth OF the eompany's

ON Jan I. 1889. Mr.. Stokes sold the stock to

An IInaonnd Measure.

The bill introduced Ia the Assembly on
Thursday, making IL virtually incumbent
upon the Governor to summarily remove
the superintendent Of any charitable or
reformatory institution upon the recon-
mendation Of the State Board Of Charities.
Is one Of the most foolish and harmful
measures brought forward In the Legisla-
ture this year. Justice aud common sense
would cordially approve an amendment OF
the present statutes, allowing the Gov
ernor to remove. after a proper in
vestigation, the heads OF such insti-
buttons az he cannot now remove
directly. But that law should be
passed. creating q standing jury. apart
from the Governor. whose members, hav-
ing no responsibility or experience them
selves In the establishment or conduct OF
reformatory institutions or in the appoint
ments to office therein, exist for the sole
purpose Of hearing complaints and impos-
ing their recommendations upon the Execu-
tive, would be to invite an incessant series
OF puerile and baseless accusations. absurd
and trumped-up charges by convicts. and
constant attacks by sensational and black
mailing newspapers willing to print what
ever shameful falsehood serves their own
interests.
Such law would cause the demoraliza-
ton Of the entire reformatory sys-
TEN Of the State. The power conferred
by it would be altogether too great to be
given to any standing board or society OF
men and women. even II their experience In
prison management and their acuteness In
discovering false evidence were conceded
to DO great: and the exercise Of the power
proposed In the present bill can BIO likened
only to tho similar delegation Of author
ity to the PARKHUBsT and CoMsTooK So
cieties in this city to remove at their pleas
ure the regularly constituted officials
whose administration they may profess to
find at fault.
The proposed bill would. also. most un-
wisely limit the power and responsibility Of
the Governor himself. The head Of q great
reformatory like that at Eimira should be
removed only by the power that appointed
him. and after an Investigation conducted by
the appointing power in person or by q
Commission named by the Governor. for
whose work. In each instance, the Gov
ernor himself must assume personal re-
sponsibility.
When 1t Is remembered that the State
Board OF Charities have made condemna-
tory reports before upon public institu-
tions which were speedily discovered to
be without foundation and to have been
prepared in q sleazy and hasty manner;
that q former distinguished Governor Of
this State advised that the Board be abol-
ished because OF its useless. meddling. and
wholly discredited character: and that the
members Of the Board confessedly have no
expert knowledge Of the subjects with
which they deal. 1t would be simply the
highest reach of Legislative madness to
raise that organization into the. one and
only jury In the State which. listening
with open and ever-ready ears to the ma
Icious tales OF convicts and the sordid as
saults Of newspapers. would have the
power to destroy the lifework Of prison ex-
perts like the Superintendent at Elmira.
