reorganization bill has been defeated in
the senate by tie vote-yeas, 16; nays,
16. Bradley, Coggeshall, Reynolds and

known as the LeXow bills. and provided
for the reorganization of the police de-
partment of New York city by the BIZ
partisan police commission, which was
given power to report for dismissal of
any Offices or officers who might be
shown to the satisfaction of the COM
missioners to have been inefficient or
corrupt.
The bill also enlarged the duties and
powers OF the superintendent of police.
The fact that the commission was to be
bipartisan caused opposition by the
New York city committee of 70 by the
committee OF 10 and, 1t has also been
understood, by Mayor Strong, In the
assembly 1t was amended giving to &C.
cused policemen the right of appeal. In
the senate to-day this amendment was
defeated, the deciding vote being cast
by ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Sexton.
Upon the question of the final passage
OF measure, the ]ieutenant-governor
has no vote, and so the bill was killed.
1t Will be resintroduced in the Assem- bly
shorn OF the right OF repesl provision
AS the senate tied on the vote to pass
the bill to-day, after this feature had
been eliminated from 1t, it does not
appear that it will be likely to meet
with different fate should il be again
passed by the assembly.

Morning and Evening.

Nearly all important events oc-'
cur during the day, and generally
in time for essential details to APP
pear in the afternoon paper. III
you read the afternoon paper care
fully you get all the news that is
worth bothering about and get 1t
while it is fresh. People are real
izing this truth nowadays, and
that is why the evening paper is
becoming so popular and so in
fluential. 1t comes to the home,
too, when the head OF the family
and all the members OF the house
hold have time to persue its COL
umns and discuss the contents. In
the early morning there is hustle
and activity and no moments to
spare. The adult male members
of the family, and sometimes the
female memb ers likewise, must be
of to business as soon as ever
breakfast can he swallowed, the
children must be got off to school,
and there's not a moment to lose.
Then there is the house cleaning
and the marketing and the morn
ing paper must 60 unread, or, at
least, but lightly scanned until
pressing duties are performed.
In the evening the labors of the
day are over, there is restful peace
and quiet when the lamps are
lighted, the family circle, the study
the office, the resort are all con-
ducive to reading, and the evening
paper. coming fresh with the i'm
press Of the day, spreads out the
events of current interest in such
a way that they may be quickly
grasped. The morning paper is
ancient history then, for most all
that it contains has been told by
the evening paper II hours before.
The Tribune does not desire to dis
credit the morning paper entirely
it has its uses, but it regards it's
own field as the most attractive
and the most promising, for the
daily paper of the fu' ure, it is easy
to foresee, is the evening paper
