any other legislature to do IT unless
the people want it done. This legisla-
ture instead of doing those things
which by Beckley's resolution it says
it ought to have done has wasted its
time on lady dog acts points of order
and trivial discussions of its own rules.
The provision for revenue, which is
put forward as the climax of the argu-
ment for an extension of the session,
has been ostentatiously avoided by both
houses. The Star and other newspa-
pers have from the beginning of the
session, been calling the attention of
the legislature to this subject. The
Governor called attention to it in the
very beginning. But this all fell on
deaf ears, until now it is suddenly
brought forward as a reason for more
time.
The whole resolution points out that
the legislature from the beginning has
left undone those things which it ought
to have done; while the newspaper re-
ports of the session, and more clearly
than these, the stenographic report
the House is preparing, will show that
it has done those things which it ought
not to have done.
The Home Rule party has a good
working majority in each house. II
there is one thing more than another
in which as a party it was interested
it was in taking advantage of its pres
ent strength to fortify itself for the flu
ture by making sure of Home Rulers
for the long term i'm the Senate. But
in this as in every other matter, it
has shown itself vaccilating, dilatory
incapable of doing anything.
Is there any probability that a party
which has neglected such manifest
party advantage will utilize for the
public good any extension of the ses-
sion, when it's whole record as written
by itself, is one of neglect and waste.
fulness of time and money
Governor Dole in his refusal to grant
an extension is justified by the whole
record of the session, by Beckley's re-
solution and by the sentiment of the
people of the territory.

CONSISTENCY.

Some of the Home Rule leaders have
come to the conclusion that in view of
the governors refusal to extend the
session of the Legislature, the best
policy they can pursue is that of leav-
ing as much business as possible un-
done. Instead of resolving to make the
best use of the three days left to them,
on the date of their receipt of the exc
cutive's decision, they decided that the
most effective course would be to do
nothing more. This would leave all the
more important legislation" for which
the lawmakers could say they were not
given time.
When the message from Governor
Dole reached the House on Saturday,
reafTirming his decision not to extend
the session, there We're many bills on
third reading in both houses which
could have been sent to the governor by
Tuesday evening. The number of mea-
sures of great Importance that must
necessarily have been left unattended
to was far less than Home Rule reso-
buttons of the subject indicate, for many
of those named in such resolution
could have been disposed of before
Tuesday night
Without attempting to act upon any
of the measures which they inform the
public and the governor the territory is
suffering for the Home Rulers adjourn
ed both houses early on Saturday. They
seemed willing to let the territory suf-
fer for lack of the important legisla-
ton, in order to make it appear that
the lists of unfinished business, for
which the governor would not give
them time, was larger than it really
was.

SELF-INDICTED.

1t is to be supposed that when the
House of Representatives adopted a
resolution asking the Governor for an
extension of the session, it would make
as strong a case in favor of extension
as it was possible to do. No doubt Rep
resentative Beckley who introduced the
resolution believes he has made as
strong a case as is capable of being
made.
But an examination of his resolution
will show that every reason advanced
for an extension of the session is either
misstatement of fact. or a confession
that the legislature itself has neglected
it's most important duties. There is in
the resolution a strong showing that
the Legislature has wasted it's time
but nothing to show that it ought to be
given more time to waste.
THE RESOLUTION IS A STRONG
Err INDICTMENT OF THE LEGIs-
LATURE ITSELF FOR WASTING
TIME AND NEGLECTING IT'S
MOST IMPORTANT DUTIES THAN
ANYTHING ELSE THAT HAS BEEN
SAID OR WRITTEN ABOUT IT.
The first reason assigned for an ex-
tension of the session is that under the
territorial act it is the duty of the
FIRST LEGISLATURE to reapportion
the membership of the Senate and
House, and that the necessary data
from the twelfth census has not yet
been received.
This is an ABSOLUTE MISSTATE-
MENT. The territorial act says moth
ing about the first legislature" in this
connection. 1t says the legislature at
its first regular session after the CEN
sus enumeration shall be ascertained,
and from time to time thereafter, shall
reapportion etc." AS the census enum-
Grafton has not been ascertained, there
is no duty on this legislature in this
respect.
The second reason assigned is that
no laws have been passed in reference
TO the election OF a delegate to Con-
gress. We have elected one delegate to
Congress and he has been seated by
Congress after a contest based on the
claim IndI lneTe was no law. InlS
would seem to be pretty conclusive
that there is law enough on the sub
Ject. But If there isn't why has not
the majority, the Home Rule party
passed one before this?
The third reason put forward is the
prohibition clause in Section So Thai
clause was there when the session be
gan. 1t does not require this legisla.
ture to take any action unless it sees
fit to. 1t has not seen fit to so far
so that it is hard to see how it can bt
put forward logically as a reason why
the Governor should grant more time
for the legislature to make up its mine
ON the subject.
The fourth reason given is that coun.
ties, towns and city municipalities have
not been created. The territorial act
is merely permissive on that subject
The legislature may create such sub
divisions. No duty Is laid on this OF

POLITICS IN CITY LABoR1yG WORK.
COMPLAINT AGAINST TAMMANY SCHEME WHICH
GETS JOBS FOR THOSE PLEDGED TO
VOTE ITS TICKET.

The introduction politics into all kinds Of city
work official semi-oficial. it stated last
week by the officers of the Free Labor Bureau of
the State Department of Labor, No l07 East Thirty
frst-st is proving a hindrance to the work Of the
bureau. The complaints Of the officers refer par
ticuarly TO work cf laborers such jobs the
opening of sewers installing motive power
for surface railroads Such work does not come
under the classified Civil Service rules, and. the
bureau holds, ought be open all. But only
the voters Of the district where the work is going
on are able to get it under the present conditions
said yesterday:
From time to time laborers come here TO see if
we can obtain this work for them but it
only be procured through the district leaders for
their own voters can do nothing for them. The
law of the land. Every Tammany district leader
gives certificates TO the voters in the district who
are expected to vote the Tanmany ticket at cleo
ton and want the work, and they get the work by
presenting these certificates to the companies or
the contractors The district leaders oblige the
companies by obtaining privileges for them and in
return these leaders have the monopoly OF provid-
ing work for their voters.
Mr. BeaIin thought this of the worst
things reformers had contend with. People who
lived in the district and voters knew how to
get this work, but outsiders had no chance for IT,
IF ever a reform party gets into power again. he
concluded, "it could bring about some genuine re-
form by keeping politics out of all such work The
system the root Of the principle that every
has right to work in this country"

WORK STOPS ON STOKES FLATS
STRIKES, ORDERED BY PICKERING LABOR
FACTIONS AGAIN TIE Up BUILD
ING OPERATIONS.

Another war was begun last week between the
board of walking delegates and the Building Trades
Council, spite of the fact that committee Of
the Central Federated Union is engaged at present
in an effort to harmonic the two bodies. This
committee made attempt early in the week 10
bring about a meeting Of delegates Of the two
bodies in Brevoort Hall, Fifty-fourth-st-, near
Third-ave., but, though little was accomplished at
the meeting, the committee decided to keep on
trying TO bring about harmony.
It learned yesterday that the board of walk
ing delegates upset all the plans OF the committee
by ordering a strike of the plumbers, who are
represented in the board, against the steamftters
employed in the Stokes apartment hotel, Seventy
fourth-st. and the Boulevard. The steamftters
who are affiliated with the Building Trades Coun-
Gil, putting in iced water plant. and the
board ordered the strike to get the work for the
plumbers.
The Building Trades Council promptly ordered
strike of all the trades IT controls in retaliation
against all the trades represented in the board of
walking delegates. This resulted yesterday in
tying up all work with the exception of that Of
the metal lathers. The delegates Of the Building
Trades Council were very angry over the situation
yesterday, and will extend the strike to every build
ing where plumbers make claim to this work.
These strikes likely to affect every large build
ing in course Of construction iE the city, as the
iced plants being introduced in nearly
all large modern buildings

NAY HAVE JURY IN EXCISE CASES.
KEEPERS HAVE A RIGHT TO TRIAL
IN GENERAL SESSIONS.

Judge Foster, in the Court of General Sessions.
decided yesterday that a saloonkeeper charged
with violating the State excise law has the right
McMahon, in the same court, decided that
saloonkeeper could not have jury trial. but
be tried in the Court of Special Sessions. Judge
conviction of saloonkeeper carries with It the
here of $500 equivalent TO a fine that would be i'm
posed il case of felony. the saloonkeeper has the
right to jury trial. The decision at the same time
in Special Sessions In the course Of his opinion
Judge Foster said:
Our law. in its Jealous and tender regard for the
rights of the accused, thus assures jury trial in
cases Of felony where serious consequences may
follow conviction, and this right is guaranteed by
the constitution Of this State and OF the United
States. In petty cases (miSdemeanors) defendant
jury trial. but only when TO Judge or TINS court
OF the Supreme Court 1t appears reasonable.
Whatever we may think OF the moral erect OF the
business of selling spirtuous liquors, the fact re-
mains that under law II is as legitimate as the
baking Of bread, and those engaged in 1t are the
equals of any before the law.
The excise law provides punishment for It's
violation in this city severe and drastic by far
than required for feonies, is provided or
permitted for any other misdemeanor The maxi
punishment for miSdemeanor is one year s
IMPRISONMENT and fine OF $500. For the miSde-
meanor' charged herein the law provides a dis
cretionary punishment of one years Imprisonment
and a fine of 500. and also an obligatory punish
ment of a forfeiture of license amounting to $500,
and possibly a penalty under the bond given for
non-volation of 81 500; and in addition TO all this
there is supermposed reminder of the long ago
abolished bill of attainder. in that the defendant
cannot again follow his usual vocation Of selling
for a period of FIVE years.

Coogan to side and said:
Now, Coogan, long you looking around

the leaders both sides OF the bridge. You ought
to go to see Mr.. Mclaughlin. It might help you in
your fight for place"
That's a good scheme" replied Mr.. Coogan.
