DURING the campaign in New York
last year the republicans and their al
lies, the 'reformers," made great out.
cry against what they said we're the ex.
trsvagaut expenditures made by Tam.
many Hall In conducting the ojty's
affairs. Controller Grout said on Sat-
urdAy that the estimates submitted by
the heads OF departments we're about
$1,000 600 less than those submitted to
the Tsmmany board Of estimate. He
mentioned this to show that the new
heads Of departments had endeavored
to keep down the expenses OF the city.
But 1t appears that other necessary
items that were not put into the tsnta-
tive budget will amount to nearly
$1,000. 900, 80 at present it is believed
that the revised budget will amount to
about 9S,OOO,0 900, the amount tsnta.
lively decided on by the Tsmmany
board last fall. All of which proves
that Tammsny conducted the municipal
affairs of New York city ss economi'
cally as have the reformers and much
more satisfactorily to those most inter
estsd. The people OF New York have
already tired Of the reformers and 1t is
predicted that in the next election
Tammsny will win hands down.

TUESDAY EVENING. APRIL o. l'oz
Noru,yo - more disastrous to the

NOTHING Is more disastrous 10 toe
leaders of a political party than the
defeat OF their plans, and 1t is accepted
that when a man is down 1t is en- easy
thing for others, even bis Interiors, to
strike him. This was fully shown by
the turning down Of the republican
leaders In the House on Friday last.
Until the beet sugar revolt the organi-
cation Of the republicans was 30 perfect
that any proposition brought in By the
committee on rules, no matter how IN
fair or drastic it might be, was adopted
by the majority vote. The committee
always stood firm and the republicans
accepted and obeyed its dictation. But
all has changed, for the present at least
and those who but q few days since,
even II they desplsed Speaker Hender'
son. we're prompt to do his bidding
through fear. are now talking OF depos-
Ing him and are taking every occasion
of expressing their resentment against
him. Even the Associated Press. the
promulgator OF republican doctrine and
heretofore the upholder OF the ideas
and plans of the republican leaders, has
this to say OF the Speaker:
Henderson has set himself up for 8
dictator. He is more despotic than
Reed, and has not the saving grace OF
Reeds ability. No man can make
speech on the floor of the House when
Henderson is In the chair without going
to him beforehand, telling him what bis
speech is going to be and humbly beg
Riug for recognition. No man can
be recognized TO progress DILL without
begging the privilege from the Speaker.
The chairman of every committee con-
suits the Speaker as to what bills bis
committee shall report. Henderson
sits 10 solitary state In the Speakers
room and demands obsequlousness on
the part OF the members of the House
or a. tsrly refuses to allow them to do
anything for their constituents"
Political preiermeDt is bubble and
the hands which uphold today will teal
down tomorrow.

SENATOR DANIEL has written let
ter concerning the new constitution In
which he says:
1t should, in my opinion. be submitted.
This was the universal expression Of demo
cratic opinion prior to the calling Of the con.
vension and ! was one OF those who made
the distinct declaration OF favor TO submission.
The people took Us at our word and called
the convention and We should keep our
word now that the work Is done. As to what
people the constitution should be submitted
to is another question. Both the act OF
assembly, which relates to the matter,
ana the platform of the Norfolk demo-
cratic convent on, speak Of "the people"
as the proper parties for the constitution to
be submitted to, using no manner Oh quslin-
cation or limitation. The call for the con-
yention was made by the people" without
any qualification or Limitation upon
their number or charActer-save thst
they we're qualified voters, OF course.
Tho submission back to them OF the
constitution which they elected the con-
yention to prepare. would be according to
the natural snd grammatical construction OF
the pledges made by the Norfolk
democratic platform and by democrat
ic speakers everywhere. Nothing was said in
the canvass about pToclaiming one part OF the
constitution and submitting another part.
The pledge of submission to the people" was
nade as to "the constitution" and not as TO q
part Of the constitution; and performance
should DO a. broad and full ss the pledge
There Is much good in the new constitution,
and l shall support lite adoption, notwith'
standing the fact that l would prefer that
some Of its provisions were different from
what they are. The people" wanted the
convention and called it. II they want the
new constitution they will adopt it. II they
do not want It they should not be compelled
to accept. it.
And the ground taken by Senator
Daniel is that held by a vast majority
of the people Of the State. and because
q convention of one hundred men
framed the constitution is no reason
that the other million and q half OF
people should not have some voice In
expressing their approval or dissp-
proVal.

No COUNTY MONEY FOR FRUIT PEST

No COUNTY MONEY FOR FRUIT PEST
In Winchester yesterday Attorney 4.
E. Byrd gave as his opinion that the
San Jose scale law Is unconstitutional;
that il provides for the use OF public
funds ID assist privsts enterprise. The
opinion is regarded as of great import
ance there, as the leading industry Ia
fruit culture. The scale is devastating
the orchards, aud the Fruitgrowers'
Association appealed to the county
supervisors for funds to exterminate
the scale. The law provides for the
orchard owner to bear the expense ex-
cept where the county supervisors de-
eide to appropriate the money. AS the
law is claimed to be unconstitutional
the board will decline to make an APP
preparation, and the iruitgrowers will
appeal to the court to compel al appro'
priation to be made aud to test the le-
Qality OF the statute.

COL. QUINToN PROMOTED.
Appointed a Brigadier General-Will
Retire on the 18th.

The President has appointed Col. William
Quinton, 1st Infantry, to be a brigadier gen.
eral in the regular army. He will retire for
age on the 18th instant. 1t is probable that
Col. John 1. Rodgers of the Artillery Corps
at Fort Hamilton, n. Y, will be promoted
to the vacancy thus created in the list of
brigadiers.
Although born in Ireland, General Quin-
ton was appointed to the army from Illinois
He began as a volunteer sergeant in the
10th Illinois Infantry, in 1861. and in the
same year became a second lieutenant. In
March, 1868, he was advanced to a first
lieutenancy and served until he was mus
tered out in May, 1866. The following year
he entered the regular establishment as first
lieutenant of the 33d Infantry. He became
a captain of the 7th Infantry in 1884. and
in 1898 was transferred to the 2Jth Regi-
ment, becoming soon afterward a major of
the 14th and when Col. Abram A. Harbach
of the 1st Infantry was made brigadier
general and retired few months ago, Cen
eral Quinton became head Of that regiment,
with headquarters at st. Paul, MINI.
