because they were members Of that organ

have not only expected 1t, but in most Instances
have obtained 1t. with or without merit. and no
body has thought Of rcsignng from the city

Commissioners Of Accounts have completed an In

bottom Of everything in dock affairs the Grand
Jury will have plenty Of work to do.
When some worthy gentlemen waited on Mayor
Strong the other day ard endeavored to discuss
in confidential tones a matter OF general inter-
est, the Mayor raised his voice so as to be heard
all over the room, and remarked that he didn't
care to have any secrecy about 1t. 1t Is plain
that there is going to be no government under

In some things the Legislature last year fell

verify upon the poor 1t has been reported for
years that the pawnbrokers Of New-York used q
corruption fund at Albany to prevent the passage
OF law to cut down their rates to reasonable
figures The Legislature OF 1895 ought to get to
work promptly on the pawnbrokers charges and
reduce them to figures which will afford a fair
margin Of profit to pawnbrokers and more.
The business Of the pawnbrokers is perfectly safe.
They are so cautious in making loans, and the
property on which they advance money Is always
worth so much more than the amount loaned
upon it. that bankruptcies among pawnbroken
are practically unknown. The operations OF these
greedy plunderers Of the poor ought to be
checked.
People who use the telephone freely and IRE

seem to be needless delays and blunders and the
opinion is general that telephone charges are iar
too high here for the value Of the service actually
rendered. The Legislature ought 10 reduce teie-
phone rates to reasonable limits. Corporations
have been far too powerful in past years with
legislators at Albany. The Legislature this year
ought to keep itself entirely free even from sus-
nicion Of improper corporate influences.

The Assembly has not improved the Oppor-
tunity presented to il Of insuring short session
bv sitting part of the time on six days instead
Of five days each week 1t has long been the
custom 70 take a recess from Friday afternoon
until Monday evening. thus practically reducing
the weekly session to four days. The change
proposed by the Committee on Rules was mod
crate one-that after February IS there should
be sessions on six days In alternate weeks.
But even this was rejected by the decisive vote
Of "A to %. II is curious TO note that some OF
the members seem to have a haunting fear lest
their action be regarded in the popular mind
as Influenced by the constitutional prohibition
Of free passes.
The incrcdulity Of all who felt ii impossible
that Mayor Strong could have given the advice
to the liquordealers which he was reported to
have given on Tuesday Is justified. He was
represented as telling these men TO go ahead
and keep their saloons open on Sunday after
noon and evening. II would be most amazing
thing for a Mayor sworn TO execute the laws
deliberately TO advise citizens to disregard them.
No one knowing Colonel Strong could believe
that he had done this and he declared yestcr-
day that such an idea had never entered his
mind His only purpose to secure an ex-
preston Of public opinion on the subject Of open
Ing the saloons during part OF Sunday The
Mayors friends cannot but regret that on ques.
ton OF this Importance he did not speak with
such clearness that he could not have been mis-
understood.
There was little change in the strike situation
In Brooklyn yesterday. The stormy weather had

and thus tended TO prevent acts Of violence, II
any were contemplated. To the credit Of the
men. il must be said that on the whole they
have behaved well. and their moderation just-
fies the public sympathy which has been aroused
In their behalf. The companies were able yes
