papers that wears Senator Hanna's tag,

March and the Lion.
Something Better Thau Enc ola 81,

Something Better Than the Old Saw.
The saying about the lion and the lamb in
March often proves false, but there is another
and better one which is literally true. When
March comes in and q nds you taking Hoods
Sarsaparillla to purify, enrich and vitalize
your blood, you may expect, when it goes out,
that it will leave you free from that tired feef
ing and with none of the. boils, pimples and
eruptions which manifest themselves because
of impure blood in the spring. If you have.
not already begun taking Hoods 6arsaparilla
for your spring medicine, we advise you to be-
gin today. We assure you it will make you
feel better all through the coming summer.
Gov. Roosevelt has appointed . committee
to inquire if it is wise to spend any more
money on the New York canals.
Sweet, refreshing sleep is given by Hoods
Sarsaparilla, which feeds the nerves, tones the
stomach and cures all dyspeptic symptoms.

THE GOVERNORS OPPORTUNITY.


Governor Roosevelt has declared himself en-
franchises. Some time ago he sent message
to the Legislature In support of that principle
and urging the appointment of a commission
to revise the tax laws and incorporate a fran
chise-tax provision in them. That message
reached the Legislature just when the Ford
bill was under consideration. While II by no
means antagonized that measure. 1t was,
fortunately, made the excuse for delay In pass
Ing It. The idea Of franchise taxation at some
future time was enthusiastically advocated by
persons who were most Of all anxious that
there should be no such taxation at any but
some future time The Governor seems to have
discovered that the enemies Of the bill were
taking refuge behind him. and he may have
heard II limited most upjustly that the message
was intended 10 serve the franchse-holders
while advocating their taxation, but not by
the measure which had q chance Of immediate
adoption. At any rate. the Governor has since
taken occasion TO make known that he favored
the Ford bill, and believed il would be wise to
make trial of franchise taxation before en-
bodyng the system in such permanent code
as he hopes the commission he recommended
will perfect.
Nevertheless the Ford bin does not seem TO
get on rapidly toward the statute-book. 1t has
passed the Senate. 1t sticks In the Assembly All
the resources Of pettfoggng and procrastina-
ton are used TO defeat IL. and with the end Of
the session now close at hand the prospect
Of its passage Is not bright. II is one of those
measures which everybody Is for. but which
some mysterious power seems 10 hold back.
Nobody speaks against the taxing Of franchises.
In fact, some people are so devoted TO the idea
that they are crazy 10 pass a Rodenbeck bill,
or any old bill except the one which the Senate
has already passed. and which. therefore, might
possibly become a law. In this emergency we
think il would be entirely proper for the
Governor 10 call this matter once more TO
the attention Of the Legislature In form
which would give the opponents Of the tax
no excuse TO throw upon him responsible
fly for the escape Of corporations from
burdens which private citizens endure. He
can so present the case that the tricksters
will no longer dare to keep up their obstruction,
and compel them IL they are bound TO kin the
bill, to do so openly and take the responsibility
before the taxpayers. There would be nothing
out Of the common In such message Other
Governors have come to the rescue Of nlerito-
rlous measures. and Governor Roosevelt has
actively concerned himself TO secure the enact.
ment Of bills which promised no greater boon
TO the people Of this State. II he has the
deep interest In the relief of the taxpayers that

TIE RIFLE OF BLACkNESS.

The frequent complaint Of spring is rebuked'
II Is said that we have here little or no spring
weather. Gentle spring ethereal mlldness.
&c delusion and snare May parties are
imnossible EFT cetera All Of which Is some
limos true II Is likewise sometimes false. as
tho present time well proves. We have now
had at least ten days. without a break OF
wrat might fairly be deemed Ideal spring
weather. Earth and air and sky have unlted
tremendously to provide just such conditions
as those of which poets have sung and Oldest
inhabitants garrulously babbled. Nature has
done her best for mans comfort and pront
and pleasure. But man himself has done mis-
worst and is still doing it. For here IN THIS
CITY, for which nature has done more than FOR
most other great cities of the world, men are
deliberately defling earth and air and sky with
blackness. Day and night the smut-smoke
chimneys are belching forth their disgusting
foods Day by day their number is increasing
Day by day the air becomes blacker and fouler
and more suffocatng.
The last ten days have been exceptionally
bright and beautiful to most Of this part Of the
world To large part Of the Borough OF
Brooklyn they have been days Of gloom. No
matter how clear was the sky, nor how brightly
the sun was shining there was ever between
men and those splendors that veil or cloud of
smut-snoke which has now become character
istlc of the place. II is the literal truth as
tens of thousands will testify, that in consid-
cradle part Of the Borough of Brooklyn nova
days the sky constantly seems overcast and the
sun almost obscured though there be not a
cloud in the sky. 1t is all because of the black
smoke which is pouring in dense volumes from
dozens Of chimneys. and which persistently
pours forth, by the grace Of DR.. Black, the
Health Officer for that Borough. whose duty it
is 10 stop the nuisance forthwith.
The seasons matter little. 1t matters little
that New-York has hitherto enjoyed one Of the
purest atmospheres in all the world. We are
henceforth TO dwell at the bottom Of sea Of
floating founess and blackness and suffocating
fumes, created wantonly and in defiance Of
statute law and natural right. Or II we are
not thus cursed, the credit of our deliverance
will not be due to the man who is charged
with our protection. He is doing all he can do
or leaving undone all he can. to doom US to the
rule of blackness.
