WHAT SHALL THE HARVEST Beg

II is gratifying to have Governor Black an
nounce. in time for Senators and Assembiymen
who are making their plans for the coming ses-
sion 10 profit by the warning, that 1t Will be
his policy TO discourage and as far as possible
prevent excessive legislation. The profuse
multiplication Of statutes is curse to every
civilized community. and it is probably no.
where more oppressive than in the Empire
State. The Governor Of NewYork would have
done well at the beginning Of his term TO imi-
tate the Governor Of New-Jersey with candld
and positive declaration that he would veto
every bill placed In his hands which ola not
annear 70 him 10 be responsive to some distinct
public necessity. Governor Black neglected. MS
first chance TO perform a valuable public SER
vice, but be subsequently did what he could 10
retrieve lost opportunity by killing or leaving
to die about five hundred bills, scarcely one or
which held out the remotest prospect OF Deneht
to the people He does well to declare thus
early that he has not changed his opinion on
this subject, and he will do still better II, IN MS
annual message, he gives the lawmakers 10
understand precisely what use he intends 10
make of the veto power.
A largo reduction In the legislative grlst
would be q blessing In Itself, and 1t might have
the additionally advantageous consequence OF
improving the quality of measures not wholly
unfit TO be enacted The uncertainty OF laws Is
perhaps as harmful and dscredltable as their
profuson. The output of Legislatures con-
stsntly suggests the thought that the lawyers
who TO great extent compose them and direct
their proceedings are not averse TO the passage
of acts SO vague or contradictory that they
have TO be taken into court forthwith for de-
termination Of their meaning. An assertion
that they do consciously pursue such policy
would certainly provoke an Indignant contra
dictlon. but the other alternative does not leave
them In q much better position. If the mis-
cradle manner in which legislation OF all sorts
including the most important, Is drafted Is not
due TO crafty forethought, 1t is melancholy
manifestation of ignorance or heedlessness, or
both, which is about as bad
1t is disgraceful to men trained in the study
and practice Of law that when they are In
trusted with the grave and honorable task of
making law they so generally perform 1t in n
sllpshod way, with results vexatious and costly
to the community. and proftable-if profitable in
the long run to anybody-to themselves alone
Let us hope that Governor Blacks admonition
will have the effect Of diminishing the usual
product at Albany, and Of improving the quality
Of that which gets past him TO the statute-book
The accomplishment Of such reform would
put the whole State under lasting obligations to
everybody who had been instrumental in bring
ing II about

SUSPENSION or SEALING.

A new factor IN the sealing problem is dis
closed. 1t is a hopeful one, making distinctly
toward a satisfactory solution. Formal an
nouncement is made that the United States
Government is prepared to stop land sealing
on the Pribyloff Islands during the year, for
which It asks Canada TO refrain from pelagic
sealing In Behrlng Sea. That this would be
done has been supposed by some thoughtful
observers, but no hint of it has hitherto been
publicly made, and In discussions Of the ques-
ton II has been generally taken for granted
that land sealing would be continued, and
would Immediately enjoy decided advantage
from the stoppage Of pelagic rivalry. That
l. meant that the profits :of this country would

THE MURDER OF HOOVER RECALLED.

Washington Nov. 25.-The killing Of hcrdsman

Cheyenne Reservation which caused much ex.
element at the time and led to hasty action b.
the Government to avert an Indian outbreak, was
recalled to-day by a request which Secretary Bliss
received from the Indian Rights Association. The
association desires to secure funds TO pay the tx-
penses OF an appeal TO the Montana Supreme Court

has been condemned. The association asks for some
action to stay proceedings and secure the APP
peal Secretary Bliss. however, had already taken
the necessary steps for securing the boys rights
on Information previously received. An Indian
named Stanley has confessed TO the murder ana
implicated Spotted Hawk, but II is asserted that
only one Indian was concerned In the crime.

Socialist are arrayed against Jew. Vienna

her objection to Germany's little foothold In
Shan-Tung seems a trihe ungenerous. Surely
she does not expect to have all of the empire
