medical friends arc wrong IN criticising
the Governor for declining TO approve the
Dispcnsary bill. Some reform is needed, to
prevent persons who can afford to pay for
treatment from rcsorting to these institu-
lions to the exclusion Of the poor; but we
seriously doubt the expedlency Of comforting
upon the State Board Of Charities such ex-
tensivc powers over dispensaries a. would
lave been bestowed by the rejected meas
ure. The proposed law went 30 far as to
authorize the board to annul the incorpora-
ton Of any dispensary which neglected to
comply with the rules and regulations
which the board might prescribe.
The last item on the death list to which
we would call attention is this:
senator coree's bill a%ppropnatlnE $4,000 for a
vessel for the Naval Militia"
Here was an enactment. in strict pursu-
ance Of a recommendation in the Governors
message. That recommendation, however,
was evidently made in forgetfulness OF the
provision of the Federal Constitution which
forbids any State to keep ships Of war in
time Of peace, without the consent Of Con-
gress. Governor BLACK recognizes the mis-
take In a manly way and refuses to let the
bill go on to the statute book.
The BLACK list of unsigned bills will do
the Governor good in the estimation Of
the people, who hardly feel that they know
him very we'll as yet.

The New President OF the Repub-
1ican County Committee.

The Hon. LEMUEL ELY QUIGG is young,
able, energetic, and full of fight. He was a
pretty lively sort of chap in the newspaper
line, and he is a competent and an indus
trious men4ber of Congress. He has a hard
job in succeeding the Hon. EDWARD LAU-
TERBACH, who, in spite of no early initia-
tion into politics, has developed a decided
genius for it, and whose activity, eloquence,
and courage are pretty thoroughly apprc-
ciated. even by his few adversaries in his
own party, critics most likely to indulge
in severity. A trained diplomatic tongue
was scarcely one of Mr.. LAUTERBAcH's
gifts. 1t is his nature to be downright. to
speak out, sometimes a little too far out,
perhaps, to please the milder brethren. Mr..
QUIGG, too, has not been averse to express
ing his opinions, and his v~ivacity of com.
pliment has beer such that there are said
to be a few Republicans who do not regard
him, as somebody says in Hector O'Hal.

Mr.. QUIGG has as few enemies as any man
with the requisite force to be an effective
head of the County Committee; and who.
ever holds the Office is sure to excite vast
.squawking and commotion on the Mug
wump roost.
1t is always a pleasure to the judicious
observer to see the game of politics played
skilfully and for every point there is in it.
In this town, for the next few months,
there will be openings and opportunities to

the Hon. LENUEL ELY QUIGG has a talent
for organization equal to his enthusiasm
and combativeness, he has a notable chance
of distinction; and there will be plenty of
fun for him, too.

Cash Help wanted for Cuba.

To the People orthe United States:
The Cuban League OF the United States appeals to
the American people for q national fund which will
assure the independence OF Cuba. One million of
dollars will do this.
Two hundred and twenty-five thousand victims Of
Spain, ~despoled Of their homes. naked. sick. and in
prison are starving almost within sight OF our shores.
Twenty thousand Cubans have already persisted
from hunger and 80. 900 from disease largely the re-
suit OF cruel and inhuman methods OF warfare. The
great. the pressfn0 need Of Cuba Is for money.
For two year we have given her sympathy. en-.
thusiesm, and resolutions. Hardly a hand has been
raised in actual help. Let us now give her the prac-
tical aid for which she is perishing. Any help from
our Government is problematical and may avail
little. With the material aid which We can give
Cuba will be free.
Humanity, the love OF liberty. and the self-interest
OF our people all unite In this appeal.
VIII not each do his share according to his ability ?
Let friends OF Cuba. whether they can give money
or time. send their address to me.

fected. It distinctly declares that the
cruiser projecting It must lie beyond can
non shot from the vessel 70 be searched.
Is there an American ship Captain
such n BOBBY as to permit q search under
these conditional Could he not sail away
from the cruiser before her boats could
reach himi II It be answered to this that
the cruiser could catch up with him, the
reply Is that, even IL she had the speed, the
treaty expressly provides that no vessel
shall be chased. A violation Of the treaty
in any OF it's parts would be a just u Of
war. Would Spain run this risk for the
sake Of preventing even a cargo Of war sup
plies from getting into the hands OF tho
Cubansi In these suggestions we find jus
tincation for the assertion that the right Of
search Is only a bogy.
Leave these considerations aside. Let us
rise to a higher plane. Let US do our duty
to ourselves and to humanity. The Senate
resolutions were passed by a large majority.
1t is to be hoped that in the House there
will be no 1libustering over them; that
they will not be smothered in a committee;
that they will be considered by the House
as they were considered by the Senate, as
presenting a national, not a party, ques.
ton; in order that the people Of the DUN
try, through their properly constituted Rep
resentatives, may announce In clear and
clarion tones that as a nation we are not
afraid Of doing what is right.

Grand Rapids, the head centre of furniture
manufacturing In this country, is suffering
from serious business depression, which it's
merchants ascribe to bicycling. They say
that before the wheel. people stayed at
home evenings and on Sundays, and that
this domestic habit made the furnishing of
their houses a matter of great care and in
terest to them. But now men get inside of
unboiled shirts and pairs of abbreviated
trousers, mount their wheels, and are off
for u spin, taking their wives, sisters or
sweethearts along, and leaving the house de.
serted. The time that used to be spent at
home, and was productive of constant
thought and effort to improve it, is now
lived out of doors to a great extent, and the
mind dwells more naturally on the care of
the wheel. and develops longing for a newer
and better wheel instead of a better bed.

fewer than twelve Republicans. II IL
true that nineteen Republicans, or
more than two.thirds Of the Republican
Senators. voting, supported the measure,
and thus temporarily saved their party from
the reproach of betraying a cause to which
1t had pledged itself before the people.
Meanwhile, however, the Republican man.
ayers in the House of Representatives have
already suffered their Democratic colleagues
to usurp the function Of leadership as re-
CARDS the quick and proper satisfaction Of
the nations wishes with regard to Cuba.
Owing to the sympathetic and judicious
position taken by Mr.. BAILEY the Republic
cans cannot in any event hope for more than
half Of the honor accruing from n passage
of the joint belligercncy resolution. That
which they once might have monopolized,
they are already foredoomed to share. II
hour may come when even a share of the
credit due for a generous and righteous
course may be denied to them. II, through
the short. sighted tactics Of Speaker REED
and other leaders, the resolution should en-
defeat or even a prolonged delay,
the Republicans will risk the imputation
of being an obstruction to an act OF Justice,
and Of having made their ardent declare
lions on behalf of Cuba in the last Con-
gress and in their National. Convention
merely by way of buncombe and deception.

Governor BLACK deserves high praise
for letting so many bad bills die at mid.
night on Monday.
1t required strength to resist the entrca-
ties in favor of some of these measures.
This is illustrated by reference to a few
of the more notable titles in the long list of
the dead.
Among such bills we find:
"Senator Eilsworth's, empowering the State Super.
intendcnt Of Banks to exercise authority now con.
fered on the Supreme Court TO appoint receivers for
insolvent institutions. under the supervision Of tho
Banking Department.
This measure was designed to deprive the
Supreme Court of Il power which 1t has
always possessed, and which 1t may be
trusted to exercise with far greater con-
fdence than can be reposed In an admins
tratlve department at Albany. The bill
was also Of doubtful constitutionality:
"senator wIEMASs. providing for a new Admins.
traitor In Kings county after Jan. l next to DO ap
pointed by Republican onicials."
This bill was intended to effect the re-
moval from Office of the present Public Ad-
ministrator In Kings county, Mr.. WILLIAM
b. DAVENPORT, before the expiration of the
term for which he was appointed. Mr..
DAVENPORT Is a Democrat, WIN has made
a most faithful and efficient public servant,
and whose fitness and capacity have been
generally recognized not only by members
of his own party, but by almost all the
prominent Republican leaders in Brooklyn.
1t would have been a grave mistake in local
politics to remove him, and the Governor,
In refusing to sanction the bill, has shown
not only II sense Of justice and propriety,
but much more political wisdom than was
possessed by the advocates of the measure.
1.-THE item OF the supply bill appropriating SIC. 900
for the medical department of the University OF
Buffalo to investigate the causes, nature. and treat
ment OF cancer
This appropriation would have consti-
