HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.

The election of John Y. Mckane as
President pro TEN. of the Kings County
Board OF Supervisors Is an insocnt def
ance Of public sentiment and an outrage
on public decency. 1t shows contempt
for the law and is good evidence that the
men who voted for It. II they got their
deserts, would be under indictment like
their chief.
After the Corruptions OF the old Tam
many ring had been expo and while
the indictments were peh ~ over It's
members Tweed was elected Senator In
his district by a large majority. The
fiimsy triumph did him no good. lie did
not venture to take his seat, and he sub
sequently went to jail where he died.
The defiance of law and Justice issued
by the Kings County Supervisors dis
Eraces only themselves and will intensity
the feeling of the people against the acts
for which McKane is under Indictment.

A MESSAGE OF GOOD TIpINGs.

Gov. Flower has no very Important or
exciting themes for his message gent
In to the Legislature yesterday. but 1t
has some points OF interest nevertheless.
New York is the Empire state. No
doubt about that. The Governor makes
II plain when he says VIC may button up
our pockets and say we owe no man a
dollar. when we learn that for the first
time in more than seventy-iivc years we
are entirely free from debt we may well
feel proud of our prosperity.
Better lhrn that the Governor shows
that through the successful operation OF
our financial policy the party that now
comes into power in the Legislature will
be enabled to dispense altogether with
direct taxation. provided It exercises or
dinary prudence In its appropriations and
expenditures
What contrast there Is between the
condition of the State financially In Jan
uary 1894, and the condition OF the ma.
tion in March, 1898.
The Governor recommends important
changes In the election laws and a "bl1n.
kct" ballot, through which the voter car
vote for the candidates of his choice
without a chance OF being misled. He
also tells the Republican majority that
while the political opinions Of the Execu
tive and the Legislature may differ. they
can unite in giving the people wise
economical and business-lke State gov'
ernment. and may Jointly and harmoni
ously endcavor to accomplish this object

the sort of laws he now desires whe,
both the Executive and the Legisla tur,

The message is a satisfactory one, an'
It shows that nothing but very reckless
legislation can disturb the unexamplet

Women Work for Less Money.

To the Editor:
In reference to letter In The Evening World
signed "A Homeless Workingwoman," beg leave
to state that the fair sex, in my opinion, have
as much right as men to work in any capacity
their ability will permit, but they should exact
for equal work equal pay. Now, II a male that
has been an entry clerk or held any other POST
ton In the clerical line, commanding $50 per
month should happen to lose said position. and
one Of the fair sex should apply for and secure
same. she would work for $50. Just one half OF
what the position pays and is worth. At that rate
eventually male help will be a thing OF the past.
with nobody to blame for II hut the fair sex.
which accounts for a number Of males at home
attending to household duties while their wives
are clerking out Clerical work was never no
poorly paid Why? Simply because the fair sex
have stepped in and offered their services to per.
form certain work and accept half or two-thirds
less than the position really worth or the
males commanded while hlling the said position.
