II IT L09Tl

The Greater New York bill is for the
present dead. 1t was defeated in the
Senate yesterday. but "A motion to re-
consider the vote was laid on the table,
thus making 1t possible to take the bill
Up again before the adjournment and
pass 1t.
The bill was killed by the refusal to
put the referendum clause into 1t so
that the people might vote again on the
question when the fun charter is formed.
OF course. II Is well known that the sec
ond submission to the popular vote Is
proposed In the hope that the scheme
may be beaten altogether. But the politi-
clans, who are bitterly opposed to the
bill. fully counted on the defeat Of the
scheme OF consolidation on the first sub
mission and were disappointed.
They may be disappointed again. and
It is evidently the part of wisdom 10
amend the bill by the addition Of the
referendum clause and to pass 1t In that
form this session.

idea. 1t Is good one. - II will enable
citizens to know whether the Executive

other smaller flags could be run up on

Hanging Baskets.

Hanging baskets are always desirable
for q handsome Summer window garden,
and It IL Of special Importance to have
them deep enough to hold plenty OF soE.
so that the roots will not lay against the
sides Of the porous pot and become
ecorched in the hot suns. The Summer
blooming oxA.is Ia Always satisfactory
for this purpose. as the rich masses OF
foliage will soon droop down and cover
the sides OF the baskets, and the grace
full spikes and clusters Of bloom will con-
tinue to develop all Summer long. The
various tradescantias. with their hand
some variegations. should also find a
place In these hanging baskets. 1t is
easily rooted from slips. and small
plant purchased now will produce many
thrifty plants uefore warm weather. II
the branches are broken at all the Joints
and rooted in dishes Of sand; and when
planted In the baskets they will soon
form long ropes OF handsome glossy TO-

WHAT 4, THE LEGISLATORS OATH ,

We are having Just now some curious
specimens Of legislation at the State
Capitol. A Senator has just openly pro-
posed to sell his vote on the New York
Police Reorga nization bill. provided the
friends Of that measure will agree to
make an amendment to the Greater New
York bill, OF value to the Senator and
his constituents.
Now the Speaker OF the Assembly
comes down from his seat to the floor
and publicly exhorts the ma jorlty to sus-
tain Mayor Strong's veto of the ST.
Johns Park bill as reward for the
Mayors approval Of the Bi-Partisan Po-
lice bill.
The Assembly was in favor OF the st.
Johns Park bill. and IL known to have
been ready to pass 1t, despite the
Mayors objections. until the Speaker
urged the majority to pay the Mayor
for his abandonment OF his opposition
to a bipartisan Police Commission, and
besought them not to slap the Mayor
in the face" al such a moment by pass
ing the Park bill over his veto.
The belief has prevailed, probably
growing out of something people sup
pose they have found in the Constitu-
ton and the system of government, tina
q Legislatures duty is to pass laws in
the interest OF the State and Of the peo-
pie ct large, and that the official oath
meant solemn swearing to perform
that duty faithfully. But judging from
the prevailing custom. legislation seems
the property and perquisites of individ
uals. to be sold and traded for and bar
gained away as the interests of persons
and parties may dictate.
The evening world., 1895-05-10

The people are fooled as usual by the
men they send to Albany. A vast ma
jorty demands the Greater New York.
The legislators laugh at them and vote
down the Greater New York. Next
November most OF these same legis-
lators will he renominated by their
political machines and the people as
usual will elect them. which goes n
show that the people think they govern
themselves. but they don't: think they
kill political machines. but they don't
think they have learned the lesson that
all government begins In the primary
caucus. but they haven't.

From the Herald this mornlng)
Viscount Mutsu replied that a search
Ing Investigation had been ordered by
his government. to ascertain Just what
had occurred at Port Arthur: that until
the result Of that Investigation was made
known to him he could not make an
exact statement OF what occurred; but
he said to me frankly that the japanese
government and people recognized and
deplored the fact that a much greater
number OF Chinese soldiers had been
killed at Port Arthur than was neces-
sary: that the japanese officers and men
were maddened by the atrocities COM
mittsd upon their comrades who had
fallen into the hands OF Chinese, and
that when Port Arthur was entered by
the Japanese troops. but little mercy
was shown. But, he said. there were
but few n n-combatants in Port Arthur
when 1t was taken. the peaceful in
habitants OF the place having fed days
before. and II others than Chinese
soldiers were killed by the Japanese. It
was by accident. and owing to the i'm
possibility Of distinguishing peaceful citi-
zens from the soldiers. who had dis
carded their uniforms and donned the
garb of citizens after the fortincations

A Japanese Interior,

The interior of a Japanese house 10
quite unlike the interior Of an Americas
house. The 70 Jms are low studded, to
suit the small stature of the occupants;
so low, in fact, that It Is often hard for
foreigne, to move through them
without awkwardness. Both the outer
and inner envelopes Of the house are In
a large part removable. and the screens
Of which they are composed can be easily
adjusted to provide both door and win
dow space. Doors, therefore, in our
sense, there are usually none. and such
windows as may be built into the per-
manent walls are regarded more ~ .
decoration than = necessity. A japanese
house contains no furniture, as we un-
derstand furniture, and. except In Ger
tain special places. It Is bare Of pictures
