London Sept. 2s-The fact that the Bank of Eng

unchanged from the figure quoted for the last
eight months has caused undisguised satisfaction

which is otherwise regarded decidedly uncertain.

The LEGISLATURE.

The legislative session which closed yesterday
was more than usually fruitful Of good works.
The people Of this city especially have reason
10 be grateful for considerate treatment and for
friendly cooperation with the local government
In the enactment Of laws needed 10 rectify
abuses and promote the growth OF the metropo-
lis Many difficult city questions came before
the legislature and were wisely handled The
stranahan bill enabling the municipal authori-
ties 10 classify and reduce salaries was espe-
rially important 10 the taxpayers. for without
Il the task Of efectually Kidding the city Of tho
Tammany habit Of extravaganza was wellnigh
lnsurnountable. The road has been opened for
great material development. The improvement
Of the Park-ave tunnel has been provided for,
the way has been prepared for the completion
OF the tunnel from Jersey City 10 the Green
wich district, and finally, with most careful ar
rangement Of safeguards, the necessary legis-
lative steps were taken TO carry out the mag
nifcent plans to connect Manhattan and Long
Island with the continent by means Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad tunnel. Measures have
also been taken to relieve the intolerably con-
gested condition OF cur courts. first by propos
ing constitutional amendment to increase the
number Of justices automatically with the in
.rease of business, and second for a thorough
inquiry into the administration Of justice in
fllS city HeaQlnE maj SOluIlOn the Appel-
late Division is allowed 10 bring justices from
the country. provided they DO not strip the
other districts Of proper working force. Many
minor measures have been passed for the city.
almost all of which are excellent, and no one
1f which has attracted attention as aggressive
IL bad. In fact this session has been won
aerfully free from scandals and vicious
schemes OF any kind. Bad measures which
have been proposed like the amendments TO
the tenement house bill restoring old, unsani-
tary conditions, have quickly yielded 10 adverse
criticism.
The general legislation has been in the main
c0mmendsble. Il is greatly 10 be regretted that
the stranahan Mortgage Tax bill failed. for it
seemed that in it a workable compromise had
at last been reached which. without burdening
borrowers On mortgages unduly would have re-
formed the present outrageous inequality OF
personal taxation and still have realized large
amount OF revenue for local governments.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1902-03-28

Some of our heads of departments seem 10 be
indifferent 10 the imperative need of retrench-
ment New-York taxpayers are overburdene1.
The municipal payrolls contain too many
names; the salaries in a great number of cases
are excessive for the services rendered. When
the voters decided last November to turn out
Tammany they expected important reductions
in municipal expenditures.
Mayor Low, Controller Grout and several Of
their associates in the Board of Estimate and
Apportionment are doing all they can for wise
economy, but some commissioners in various
departments appear to be influenced by spirit
of open handed liberality and not sufficiently
Jealous for the lessening Of outlay in certain
directions, although there is opportunity enough
for the stopping of leakage and waste. De-
mands for city appropriations reaching an ag-
gregate of $1o0o0o000, in addition to large
issues of bonds are disconcerting to loyal citi-
Zens. Tammany was justly accused Of wanton
prodigality. Is not the Fourteenth Street or
ganization likely to be restored to power next
year unless the taxpayers are convinced the
municipal departments are being managed with
discretion and wisdom?
Let the watchdogs of the local treasury begin

WEST POINT.

The United States Military Academy bill
comes up for consideration in Congress in few
days. and the people who know the needs OF
that institution and its inadequate provisions
for the demands made upon it hope that the kill
will be passed. The report OF the board Of visit
ors for the year 1901 speaks of the barracks in
which the cadets study and sleep as only lit
tie better than the average county poorhouse
and calls attention TO the fact that in many re-
spects the buildings are to-day equipped as
they were one hundred years ago, when the in
stitution was established. Few Of the build
ings" the board of visitors reports, ARE
equipped with any of the conveniences now to
"be found in the average public school building
"in the country districts of many of the States,
and there is pressing necessity for complete
tearing down and new building up
The plans suggested by Colonel Mills, who has
appeared before the committee having charge Of
the bill, call for thorough overhauing of the
buildings with a view TO accommodating the in
creased number of cadets now allowed by la
The number will be still further augmented
next year. At present some of the little rooms
in the barracks occupied by three cadets.
Foul air, defective drainage. Cramped quarters,
imperfect light and primitive sanitary arrange
ments are among the features Of the cadet quar-
terS and these have had a bad effect on the
health of the young men and an unsatisfactory
influence on their work The plans for the i'm
provement and enlargement of the academy
buildings were drawn by officers Of the institu-
ton who have felt that sacred traditions must
be preserved and that, although the group of
buildings must be modernized, the character
istcs of the institution should be preserved.
When the suggestions of Colonel Mills and
Colonel Larned have been carried ont West
Point will still he the picturesque place that 1t
was in its early days It's new buildings and
additions TO old structures will be in harmony
with the present architectural scheme but mod
ern improvements will also have made the acad-
envy comfortable and its dormitories and living
apartments as heaIthful as those of other edu-
Cational institutions in this country. Nature
has done much for West Point. The spot has
become sacred TO Americans because Of its his
tory and the records Of the men who have gone
forth from its Classrooms. The men who aim
TO make it INTELLECTUALLY and hygenically
worthy Of its good name should receive the sup
port of Congress
