dustrial system, or can tell what restrictions on
them would do good and what harm. The Gov
ernor, however, adopts the view of some of the
best thinkers on the subject, which has already
been urged in these columns, that the first step
toward remedying the evils which spring from
corporations is full and honest publication of
their operations. Then the corporations which
give money to political parties for favor or pro-
lection well those which deceive investors
and Cypress wage earners customers would
be brought into the open and could be subjected
to specific correctives.
1t has been the common impression that the
National Guard was still suffering from the
effects of the Spanish war and that the reor-
ganization of the various commands was in
complete, but the Governor says, doubtless with
knowledge. that the National Guard has never
been more efficient than at present" Neverthe-
less the need of better training for actual SER
vice is recognized Any reorganization with
the idea of securing an auxiliary to the Regular
army must be undertaken in cooperation with
Federal authorities but the outdoor drill. in
stTuction in sanitation and field camping and
attention to rife practice recommended can be
and should be undertaken by the State itself
We are also glad to note that the Governor has
met the expectations of respectable citizens
alive to the States disgrace by urging the repeal
of the Horton law, under which NewYork has
become the home of prizefghting
AS was expected, the Governor recommends
that New-York charter revision be intrusted to
commission, and this will doubtless be done
1t will be interesting to see If his demand for
the repeal of all legislation which permits the
citys water supply to be in private hands will
meet with equal favor. 1t was under cover of
such laws that the Ramapo job was undertaken,
and compliance with the Governors demand
will mean the abandonment by Mr.. Plat of Mr..
Lauterbach and his fellow promoters. On minor
matters the Governor makes many recommends
tons which are in the main sensible and timely,
and ends with warnings against overlegsIation
and extravaganza, which are needed and to
which he can compel the Legislature to give
heed. He has veto power not merely over
measures in general but over appropriations
item by item, and he can enforce his views by
approving only those laws and expenditures for
which he is willing to be responsible.

last year has already been lost. A new rise in
prices has already lifted good and bad stocks
together several dollars a share and drawn into
the vortex of speculation new army of proba-
bic victims. The restriction withdrawal Of
public deposits cannot be begun without in
tense opposition from speculative quarters, and
especially from those interested in promoting
and placing the stocks of industrial concerns;
and yet it is necessary for the Secretary and
the President to decide whether the difficulty
shall be met soon or with vastly greater cost at
a later date, perhaps just when public conf
dence in the financial policy of the Administers

doubt whether the deposits should be increased

the prosperity of business or industry.

ORGANIZATION MEASURES"

Every member of the Legislature is a member
of a political party; it his prominence in
the local organization of party that led to his
nomination and probably to his election. Prob
ably, for personal character goes for something,
and candidates have been known to turn minor
tiles into maiorities by their own weight But
most of the members of the two houses are in
their seats because they were nominated and
elected by partisans. That is as it should be.
Parties represent principles of government-df-
ferent views of important public questions,
on which men of the highest character may
honestly differ. Holding certain opinions before
election, there will never be any doubt how the
honest member will vote any measure in
volving them.
Before he entered upon his duties he took an
oath of office, perfunctorily, perhaps; it was
necessary preliminary, nothing more; but he
never entered into more solemn compact. This
need not trouble him in facing the great ques-
tons to come before him. His opinions are al
ready formed, and he will talk as he talked on
the stump and vote as he believes. But how
small part of his legislative duties belongs to
this classification! An enormous proportion of
the bills to come before him involve no ques-
ton on which he has ever had a chance to form
an opinion. How will his actions conform to
the obligation of his oath?
Many bills, If they become laws, will enrich
schemers at the expense of their neighbors;
they will have no other purpose. Will the honest
member still be party man so far as to follow
blindly the nod of a party leader? Good men
have been known to do So They may have had
some way of acquitting themselves of the charge
of violating their oaths. Two or three men in a
town or city are the recognized local party
leaders. They concoct scheme solely in their
own interest and to the serious injury of others
They formulate 1t in bill and send it to a
friend in the Legislature. 1t is introduced, and
the word is passed around that it is an organ
ization measure" 1t represents no party prin-
ciple advances no party interest and benefits no
considerable number of party men; but how
many members of either party in the Legislat-
ure dare or care to look beyond the mystic
words, Organization measure? There are some,
there always have been some. Perhaps this
Legislature may contain many such.

THE GOVERNOR AND UYIFICAT1oy.
From The Evening Post.


The Governor touches somewhat cautiously upon
the proposed unincation OF the school system OF
the State, about which there Is a difference OF
opinion between the Board OF Regents and the
Republican managers. This difference applies
mainly 70 the question OF the appointment OF the
nrst head or the new system II Is proposed by a
bare majority OF the Commission which drew up
the system that the appointment OF the first head
70 II be placed IN the hands or the Governor, with
the approval OF the Senate. but that all subsequent
appointments 70 the place be made by the Board
OF Regents The latter object strongly 10 this
claiming that there is rational excuse for such
a departure from the general spirit of the system
which is designed TO take the schools completely
out OF politics 1t Is impossible 10 what defence
can be made OF the proposal Why should not the
Regents be trusted with the first as we'll with
all subsequent selections? Can they not be trusted
as well as the Governor and the Senate to select
man outside of politics? VIII not the first head
have II In his power to decide the whole character
or the new organizations Then, too, II the preee-
dent be established OF givlng to the Governor the
power 10 appoint the first head. Will IL not be
established sufficiently to permit future Legis-
lature TO amend the law and lodge the power
permanently in the Governors hands? The
proposal has very suspicious look, and II is
much to be regretted that the Governor did not
see his way clear TO take the right side in regard
to Il by ASKING to HAYS the Ds~~s tsas~a pss-
mxaantU with Tia hsSsn.A

Admiral Montojo finds fault by the most
courteous implication with Admiral Dewey for
taking advantage OF the superior range of his
guns at Manila, and keeping at distance at
which his own guns would be effective upon the
Spanish ships while the Spanish guns could do
him no harm. At the time he bames his
own Government for not giving him longer
range guns, so that he could have pounded the
Yankees without himself being annihiated We
are afraid the two complaints have some
thing the effect of double negative. Either
alone might be effective; though really we do
not see that honor or valor or courtesy or any
thing else requires commander to put his
ships and men in unnecessary peril. But to find
fault with Admiral Dewey for something. and
then complain because he himself not able
TO do the same thing, seems to the critical judg
ment-well. let US say trife superfuous
