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 appolntees Gov.
Flower has greatly dissatisfied many OF
those who are engaged in the effort to
make n change in our municipal gov
eminent next November. Nevertheless,
his refusal to allow the bill to become n
law has probably increased the chances,
as It certainly has added to the induce
ments. of M opposition victory In the
State and Legislature this year without
seriously impairins the prospects OF
an anti-Tammnny result In the city.
The law would have made m anti
Tnmmany 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 signifed what policy they will
pursue next year II they win, and should
they gain the Mayor. the Governor and
the Legislature. II IL well known the
bill now vetoed would be rcpassed the
first or second week OF the next legisla-
tive session.
The Governor seeks n plausible justi-
icntion for his veto in the reports OF the
Fassett Investigating Committee OF 1880
and 1891 and the Tilden 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 Tildcn report declar-
Ing that 1t would be suicidal to put
into the hands Of IL single man the con-
troll of the large city appropriations.
now over forty million dollars. ito keep
himself in place" But the advocates Of
the vetoed bill have reached a different
conclusion from experience and believe,
In addition to the necessity Of driving
Tammany from Its intrenched power. hat
II is better to give the Mayor the fun
benefit OF a friendly government and to
enable each Mayor to select his own sub
ordir ates and thus concentrate and con-
Arm his full responsibility for good gov
eminent.
However. the law Is killed for this year,
and there Is a general belief that the
veto Is more the work of the Governors
advisers han his own voluntary act.
One fact is certain. The Mayors
Power-of-R Removal bill was tho measure
the most earnestly pressed and the most
anxiously hoped for by all the ci.y gov
eminent reformers. and the most dreaded
and the most vigorously opposed OF AL
the reform bills by the Tammany poll
ticians. 1t IL therefore clearly seen on
which side the veto Is cast.

To Written the Teeth.

A homely set of teeth will spoil the
prettiest mouth ever fashioned after
Cupid's bowstrlng. On the other hand,
a commonplace face becomes positively
attractive when the lips open and dis
close two rows Of clean, well-kept
ivorles. They need not be like denti-
frice advertisements, and the pearls"
of the ~old-fashioned heroine are In this
practical age but lightly esteemed. But
there must be about the well-groomed
mouth a wholesome, clearly look. Pre-
cipitated chalk will keep the teeth In
fine condition. Have a box of 1t always
