THE GOVERNOR WATTS.


II ia positively announced in dispatches from
Albany that Governor Black has decided not to
call an extra session Of the Legislature yet
awhile for any purpose and General Tracy Is
supposed to have returned from Albany last
evening with this explicit refusal of the Repub-
Hcan machines demand. 1t is highly sensible
decision and quite in accordance with the Gov
ernor's recent administration OF the Executive
Office. Indeed, 1t Is not only fair but important
to recall the fact that in this matter he appears
disposed to follow the notable precedent which
he himself set more than year ago.
II was In March, 1897, that Mr.. Edward
Lautcrbach cheerfully sat down one Sunday
evening to draft his celebrated Metropolitan
Police bill, I'm accordance with the lesson given
out at that days meeting of the political Sun
day-school. The plan was, 1t Will be renem-
bercd, to legislate out Of office not only the
Police Board of New York, as the city was then
constituted. but also the police authorities of
other cities since consolidated, who were IN
nowise responsible for the pickering and I'm
potcnce on this side OF the East River AS the
DAYS passed and no result OF Mr.. Lauterbachs
labors appeared, people fell to wondering what
had happened to delay the task on which be
had entered with so much enthusiasm. But
toward the end Of the week 1t became known
In spite Of Mr. Lauterbachs stout denials, that
he had struck a snag In the Executive Chamber
which. as events proved, the united strength OF
the local political machine could rot bulge.
Nor though the most conspicuous, was this the
first example Of the Governors successful re-
sistance to schemes for upsetting by arbitrary
legislation arrangements to which the people
had committed themselves at the polls. He had
prevented similar interference with the con-
sequences Of elections at Utica, Troy, CohOes
and elsewhere In the State, and thus shown
himself to be In fact what most politicians Of
both parties pretend to boa believer in the
doctrine of home rule.
Governor Black has increased the reputation
so gained last yssr by defeating all the plans
deyfs~H 20 carry out the deal which restored
Tammany to power and 1t would have been
amazing IL he had consented at this late day to
put the seal Of his approval upon that abhor-
rent bargain by helping the men who say they
have been cheated to revenge themselves. Those
who would like to make fool Of the Governor
have found on several occasions that he was
more than q match for them. They appear to
be repeating those melancholy experiences at
the present moment, and there is nothing In the
situation to indicate that they will be more
fortunate In the near future. While they are
debarred from any right to claim credit for n
high order Of sagacity, they can scarcely fall TO
be aware that the Governor holds most Of the
strong cards and knows pretty well how to play
them. We are willing to concede that at east
NV ars not % foolish as to suppose that they

THE PLAGUE or NOISES.

The English Court OF the Queens Bench re-
Gently had before II case Involving the right
OF a community TO protect Itself against noise,
which suggests inquiry as to what this city is
doing to enforce the laws on our statute books,
and even to keep the laws themselves from
peal The local authorities Of Kent passed a
bylaw that mo person shall sound or play upon
ANY musical or noisy instrument or sing In any
"publc place or highway within fifty yards OF
"any dwelling house after being required by any
constable or by any inmate Of such house per
"sonaIly or by his or her servant to deslst." The
right of the authorities to make such IA regula-
ton was affirmed by the Lord Chief Justice and
bis associates with only dissenting voice,
that Of Mr. Justice Mathew, who thought sing
Ing In q reasonable way" was m inherent right
Of man. Fortunately for Kent the other Justices
did not take that view, else every transformer
serene in the belief of his own genius, might
drive whole neighbour FOODS crazy and answer
all complaints with the assurance that he was
singing IN a REASONABLE. way
Here in New-York we apparently have laws
enough against noises, or did have until Mayor
Van Wyck signed an ordinance permitting the
newsboys to make day and night hldeous with
their attempts to sell In residence streets the
papers which discriminating public Will not
buy Of It's own motion by shouting ont false
announcements Of startling news which the
papers do not contain. IT il the common thing
for the boys to cry: Great battle. Terrible loss
of life" when there Is not even a rumor Of any
thing OF the kind printed in their papers. This,
OF course, Is a mere attempt to sell goods under
false pretences which might be punished as
such II anybody took the trouble to put down
the imposition, but ii Is also a serious wrong to
people who cannot be fooled or defrauded by IT,
There are hundreds OF invalids who must suffer
enough from the unavoidable strain on nerves
OF city life, and TO them an unnecessary noise
Is an unnecessary and cruel torture. There are
thousands of wives and mothers whose every
thought is turned toward the soldiers and
sailors. whose every minute Is filled with mp
prehension. The young loafers who go bawlng
about with lies of battle and death are so
abusing n privilege. 10 doubt honestly but
certainly mistakenly granted. that for the pro-
lection Of the community against imposition and
