THE JUST CRITICISM.

The chucklings OF the Republican Rep
resentatives over the adoption OF n
quorum counting iule by the Democratic
House as vindication OF Roisterer
Reeds arbitrary rulings In the Fifty
first Congress are not warranted by the
facts. There Is all the difference be-
tween the two that there Is between
statute law and lynch law.
Reeds action was the arbitrary count
ing OF a quorum at the will OF one man
without any law or rule to authorize IT.
without appeal and frequently In de.
fiance OF truth. 1t was a gross and au-
dacious usurpation.
The rule adopted by the present House
Is the legal action OF the majority to
whether ! quorum is present for legis-
lative purposes, even II the object OF
some OF the members Is to obstruct legis-
lation by nlibustering.
The legitimate criticism OF the Demo
cratic policy Is that VI Is not forced
upon the majority by the course of the
Republican minority. but Is the conse-
Quence OF the un2eemly and reprehcnsi-
BILE conduct OF Democratic Congressmen
who absent the .nselves from their seats
and thus prevent the presence OF a Dem.
ocratic quorum.
Independent OF the character of ths
new rule. 1t Is disgraceful to the major
ity that It should be necessitnted by th'
misconduct Of Its own party.

THE cHEEaFULNEss OF oUTLAwRY.

The outlaw leads a merry life and
meets n miscellaneous death. He Is the
black sheep OF tho Populist family. The
only difference between him and PETER
or Jerry Simpson Ia that he explains his
politics with pistol and the other
shoots of his mouth. Then. again, the
outlaw doesn't mince matters; he is
after what other people have. and
doesn't pass resolutions or walt to be
introduced before he proceeds to take
II away from them.
Outlawry isn't very popular in this
country. Populism Is permitted to faunt
itself a little from the hustings. because
talk is cheap and nobody In particular
has to pay for It, but outlawry isn't
given the slightest ghost OF show.
The melodramatic manner In which Bill
Dalton and his bandit gang were made
to bite the dust In Oklahoma by a
United States Marshars posse makes
that point as lucid as the most lawless
could desire to have II.
The outlaw seems to like his business
| though. The reckless raid on train Of
bank: the mad gallop away with tho
| Doodle: the whistle of following bullets
/ the escape; then the surprise and tn
! quick flash OF death from the ptiles
revolver or rifie-these are the exciting
delights OF his wild. peace-defying prop
erty-destroying existence. There's fu
In 1t. but It's bad for ones health. l
seems to us that the mistake most out
laws like Bill Dalton make Is not com
Ing u New York and leading pluto
genous political career.

From the report made by Capt. Philip
II appears that the New York was
cranky cruiser, instead of n crack
cruiser when she went into commission
She had revolving turrets that wouldn't
whirl ammunition carriers that
wouldn't carry, and her magazines were
placed where the ships fires would raise
the temperature TO 1870 or liO degrees-a
most uncomfortable heat for modern
powder. All this is peculiarly distress
ing, coming. as II does. hard upon the
revelations about the armor-plate
frauds at Homestead. New as our navy
Is. the stories OF fraud and misconstruc-
ton hanging about II already seem old.

Even II Republican State Senators
will sell out their party and their State.
as Mr.. Sulzer practically asserts that he
knows they will do. there ought to be
enough conscientious Democratic SEN
ators to prevent the success of the evil
transaction. The Sheffield Mayors bill
has been made Republican party
measure at Albany, 1t Is true. But 1t is
not such question, intrinsically. 1t Is
a bill calculated TO unfetter New York
City and to make possible a return to
clean municipal government. II de-
serves and should have the support OF
every upright legislator, regardless Of
political affiliations. The interests of
this grand old city are weightier than
the petty patronage affairs OF any
grand old party"

ALBANY, April 2o.-When the Shelf
field bill giving power to the coming
Mayor of New York to remove and ap-
point the heads of departments was
handed down from the Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor's desk to-day, Senator Saxton said
that every one had made up his mind
on the bill and knew how he would vote
on 1t. There was no need of having the
bill go to n committee and he therefore
moved that 1t go to the Committee Of
the Whole at once.
Senator Cantor objected. Said he: III
there Is any bill before the Legislature

,hc charge has been made and never
refutcd that the tickets for labor paid
out of this fund were mainly given to
political leaders for use among their
party heelers and not to the deserving
and suffering poor. And now THE
Evening World" brings to light the
revolving fact that the labor tickets
were absolutely sold for money TO those
who could afford to pay for them.
This is scarcely credible. 1t is almost
impossible to believe such a sickening
story OF gr' ID n Id inhumanity. Yet the
proof Is convincing as far as II goes,
and who can tell the extent to which It
reached?
