VETO MESSAGE FROM THE BURGESS

VETO MESSAGE FROM THE BURGESS.
Minutes of Aug. 5th, 1901, approved
Sept. End. 1901, except the resolution
requiring George Metzger to rebuild
walk within 20 days, etc. In regard to
this Mr.. Metzger informs me that it is
his intention to rebuild his walk with
stone in case his recent repairs are not
acceptable and if such is the case it
appears to me that it would be good
plan to reconsider this matter and es-
pecially so in view of the fact that
stone is so much more desirable than
wood which is the only material the
Borough can compel anyone to lay
down under present ordinances. l also
wish to inform you that Mr.. Leet
states that he desires to lay stone
walk in front of his property if he is
allowed time in which to do SO.

Minutes of Aug. 18th, 1901, approved
Aug. 18th, 1901, except the resolution
authorizing street committee to expend
$25, each month, which is vetoed for
the reason that the resolution does not
state what the money is to be used for
nor does it show the necessity for such
expenditures.

TIE REAPPoRTIoYMENT PLAN.

The House Of Representatives. by the adon-
ton Of the Burleigh Reapportionment bill.
which will doubtless be acquiesced In by the
Senate without change, has done that which
was anticipated in these columns some weeks
ago. 1t has decided TO increase the number of
Representatives, but at the same time to in
crease the ratio Of apportionment-that is to
say, the size Of the House is increased but not
in proportion to the Increase in the size of the
Nation. In the present House there are 357
members The ratio when that number was
n1eo was lIo,SOl, but at the present time it Is
20s,s6s, which latter would, of course, have
been the initial ratio Under the new appor-
tonment had the old number of Representa-
uves been retained. On the other hand, had
the old ratio been retained, the new apportion-
ment would have brought in a House of con-
sideraby more than four hundred members.
The plan adopted is q compromise between the
two extremes. II increases the number of
Representatives from 357 to 1885, and it also
increases the ratio from nearly l74,O TO nearly
$4,000.
To the average citizen, and to the average
politician, the most direct interest in this plan
Of reapportionment arises from the gains and
losses OF the various parties and States So
far as the States are concerned, ii is to be
observed that not one of them is to suffer
loss OF representation. Neither slowness Of
growth nor disfranchisement of a large pro-
portion of citizens will avail to take from any
State that which ii now has. nor will the latter
circumstance prevent any from enjoying the
gains to which its growth In population entities

The gains, moreover, are chiefly In those
States which are evidently growing most In
population and Importance. The average man.
asked which three States were growing most.
would probably answer New-York Illinois and
Texas, and those are the States which will
have three new members each. AS for the
party gains, II is OF interest TO note that while
both parties gain In probable strength In Con-
gress and in the Electoral College. the party
which is now In the majority, and which Is
more progressive in spirit and influence. is the
one which gains by far the more Taking last

THE ROCHESTER FIRE.

AT meeting of the managers and trustees
of the Rochester Orphan Asylum assembled to
consider the fire which caused the death of
twenty-sx children committed to their care,
the engineer expressed the opinion that gas
escaping from a defective pipe had exploded
in the boiler ROOM That theory, which would
seem to account for the rapid spread of the
fire. was accepted as a reasonable explanation
Of its origin, and is not likely to be disproved.
If, as he testified, the engineer left his furnaces
in proper condition when he went home at 6
o'clock, no blame can apparently be fastened
on him, for he was not required to stay after
that hour But it is gratifying to learn that
the disaster is not to be officially recorded as
"the act of God" without remonstrance. one of
the trustees having frankly charged the man
ayers with negligence in that they had en-
ployed no night watchman and the building
was not patrolled at night
1t would appear from this that when the
engineer had banked his fires and departed no
one was left in charge whose special duty it
was to watch for accidents and warn the in
mates of danger. If this was the practice of
those in authority it was assuredy careless
and reprehensible. The asylum was an old
building, put up at time when knowledge was
limited and laws were loose We do not
know that it had the public reputation Of a fire
trap, but the event shows that it was ex-
tremely combustible, and the persons respon-
sible for the lives of the unfortunate children
whom 1t sheltered were bound to understand
its character and take unusual precautions.
Doubtless there are many public buildings
devoted to similar uses which are equally or
even more in6ammable They cannot be
quickly replaced by new and thoroughly safe
structures, but they can be so vigilantly
guarded as to make the possibility of disas
trous fire remote and to leave those who frame
and enforce the rules for their management
free from serious blame in case of such a mis-
fortune

by prohibiting competition, that bette nor OF
the true Socialist. 1t forbids under penalty the
opening of any place of business for the sale
of market goods within certain considerable
distance of its markets A man may conduct
shop for the sale of hardware or drugs or dry
goods. But he may not open a butcher shop or
greengrocer's shop within three-quarters of a
mile of city market. That is the law of mu-
nicipal Socialism, and that is what has been
causing trouble and menace of riot in New-Or-
leans.
1t is a fine exhibition of the tyranny of So
cialism. is forbidden to conduct per-
fectly proper and lawful business upon his own
property, simply because if he did so he would
compete with some one else. The Socialist
system DEGREES that there shall be no compe-
tition. but that in the essentials of life there
shall be a close monopoly in the hands of
government favored ring. 1t is not easy to
conceive of a more vicious attack not only upon
property rights, but-Since the Socialist regards
property as robbery and every property holder
as a thief-upon the right to labor and the right
to live and upon the welfare of the people The
next STEP which would be perfectly logical,
might we'll be to erect municipal dwelling
houses, and forbid under penalty the occupancy
of any other houses within a mile Of them.
While they are granting monopolies in those
things which are not natural monopolies at
all why be so squeamish as TO stop at the mar

SOME REAL "sTATE SOCIALISM, -

The much overwOrked and almost invariably
misuSed phrase State Socialism" has at last
chance for legitimate use, though with curl
Gus perversity, there seems TO be little inclna-
ton to improve it, The air has been filed in
recent years with wild and whirling words
about State Socialism" whenever n State or
municipality has undertaken such conduct of its
own business as the building of waterworhs. or
lighting plants or telegraph lines, or street rail-
ways, though, we have hitherto remarked
it would be about as fitting to call such things
Confucianism or locomotor ataxia. Whatever
name does belong to them, Socialism does
not But in the city of Orleans there ap-
pears TO be at the present time an all but genu-
inc, simon pure example OF State or municipal
Socialism, and it is worthy of at least passing
notice.
The municipality, according to reports has
gone into the business of owning public mar
kets. 1t does not it is true, conduct them itself
but lets the stalls in them to private parties
the one perceptible flaw in the purity of the
Socialist gem. In those particulars it follows
the example of this and many other cities. But
1t goes beyond them. 1t protects its own mar
kets-here is where the Socias. part comes in
New-York tribune., 1901-01-10

And the Assemblyman from Wynockie expands
his chest to abnormal dimensions while he
watches half dozen lackeys staggering in
under the gift of his worshipping lieutenants
and neighbors.
This year it was worse than ever. From
roses to orchids there seemed to be no obtain
able flowers unrepresented, and the total cost
must have run into thousands of dollars. Why
this should be so no one pretended to be able
to explain. There was no partisan politics in
it, because the Democratic lawmakers who
will be mostly passive spectators during the
session, were as much favored-or punished,
just as you look at it-as their triumphant Re-
publican colleagues. The epidemic seemed to
be pretty general and it may get worse unless
some strong minded iconoclast starts an anti
flower crusade. Where is the aspirant for fame
in this direction?
New-York tribune., 1901-01-10
HATS OFF! TO czARs AND OTHERS

There is something TO be learned even from
| the Russians. 1t seems strange 10 the average
| American, and somewhat goes against the grain.
TO be called upon TO doff the hat In presence OF
| n picture of the Gar. There are even a few
| references to the legendary hat of Gesler. which
| are inappropriate, since Gesler's relation to
| the insurgent Swiss was far different from
| that of Nicholas II TO either Russians or Ameri-
cans There also references to the Ieze
| majesty laws of Germany. where one must not
| laugh when he speaks the Emperor's name.
! But the real lesson of the case is generally
ignored perhaps because it is a lesson which
! this Nation needs to learn. and which IL has
! for long time iagrantly violated.
That lesson is respect for authority and for
| the emblems Of authority To the Russian the
Gar IS the highest conceivable embodiment Of
authority, and his portrait is an emblem of
him and is therefore TO be treated with
measure of the respect due to the Car himself
Wherefore, hats off. To the German the En-
perOr is the supreme embodiment of authority
Of law and of patriotism, and TO flout him is to
fout those great principles and to set ones self
down traitor to the Fatherland And In both
these cases the idea OF Divine Right is suffi-
ciently persistent to invest the offender with
something of the odor Of sacrilege In the
United States II Is the common boast that there
Is no Car and there is no Emperor. but the
people alone are sovereign. That is true. But
are not the sovereign people as worthy of re-
spect as a mere sovereign man? And are not
their chosen representatives and established
embems worthy of respectful treatment?
Certain it is they do not get it. We do not
mean that men should be compelled 10 uncover
al sight of the Presidents picture or that crti-
cism of public officers should be punishable as
leze majesty. But we do believe that the
wanton and vulgar lampooning of the chosen
representatives and administrators of our
National authority conduces mischievously TO
contempt for that authority itself and for the
law and order and patriotism which find in
authority their basis. We would not make a
fetch of the Flag or Of whatever piece be re-
garded as the National anthem. But we be-
ieve that the prostitution Of the Flag for ad-
yertising purposes, often of a debasing and
degrading kind, lessons respect for the Flag
for the Government which the Flag represents
and for the Nation whose servant that Govern
ment is, and we believe that some mark of
attention to or respect for the National anthem
whenever it is publicly performed would be a
fitting act of courtesy to the Nation
We rank ourselves too low If as q nation
we are as sovereign as the Czar or the Kaiser
then we should be entitled as a nation to the
respect that is due to Car or Kaiser and the
emblems of our sovereignty should be as sacred
as those of theirs. Before we smile pityinrlv
at the benighted Russian who bares his head
before picture of mere man let us see TO if
That he has no cause TO wonder at our dis
honorable use of the emblems of a nation. and
that nation own.
