Whoteyor mey be the fate Of the Ellsworth
hill TO make newspapers subject to attack "on
general principles" 1t has not been introduced
in vain Its future may be shrouded IN mys-
terry. but the past at least is secure. Nothing
can ever blot out nothing can ever spoil the
picture presented yesterday in the State Senate
when the eloquent Grady brought tears TO the
eyes of the most stod spectators as he con-
fcssed his love and held out his hand in bless
ing over the Siamese twins Of his affections

three fiscal years the expenditures. less postal

CROKER'S OMISSION.

II cannot be denied that Richard Croker is
holding Tammany up 10 the performance OF
its campaign promises. or some of them in a
highly impressive manner His championship
Of the biennial sessions bill al the meeting Of
the Executive Committee on Saturday evening
may have attracted more attention than any
other part Of the proceedings owing to the sud
denness and completeness with which he re-
maintaining with great fervor in the Senate
and Assembly that only corporations and mo-
nopolists are pressing the amendment. and that
there Is no legitimate demand for it. 1t is an
celebrating spectacle, moreover. which Mr..
Croker furnishes In running a neck -and-neck
race with Governor Black for the popularity
stakes. But the biennial sessions scheme was
not the only. perhaps not the most important,
affair concerning which Mr.. Croker liberated his
feelings on Saturday night. Having disposed
OF that issue. which was never mentioned dur
ing the campaign, he said Before resumlng
my seat would like TO refer TO another mat

pressing upon the members of this organiza-
'tion who are representing the people in the
Legislature Of doing their bes, TO live up 10

nal victory" There Is a slight hiatus In this
sentence which a careful rhetorcian will de-
tect. due no doubt 10 the rush OF feeling with
which II was delivered. but the meaning is
perfectly clear The letter Of the platform is
