This point is commended TO public attention by
Governor Odell, who adds that it will be the
duty Of the legislature to facilitate the eradca-
tiOn Of existing evils if il becomes evident, after
a fair trial. that such assistance is required.
1t is not unlikely to be said by some unrefiect-
ing persons that Governor Odells utterances on
this difficult question responsive to the fears
Of politicians rather than expressive of strong
personal convictions. Indeed something TO that
effect has been heard already. 1t is true
that party leaders are not uniformly the best
judges Of public opinion. jealous 10 turn il in
what they believe to be the right direction
when they reckon that it has gone wrong. On
the contrary, they often take a good deal of
trouble to prove how little they know about the
real will Of the people and how inattentive they
are TO the admOntiOns of their own reason and
conscience But Governor Odell has no occa-
sion TO dread an imputatiOn of timidity He
embraced the first opportunity. year ago,
TO show that he possessed an ample supply of
moral courage, ana he has kept up the demon
members Of his own party have thought that he
had a superabundance Of that quality. There
is no doubt that he would have dared to assert
any opinion concerning the excise which
careful examination of the subject had led
him to form. Nor should we be surprised if
the progress Of events should ere long convince
many who now disagree with him that he has
taken the course most likely TO lead to the
solution of Il complicated problem.
New-York tribune., 1902-01-02
TIE EXCISE OCESTION.

Governor Odell formally declares in his mes
sage the hostility which he was known to feel
to legislation looking toward the opening of
saloons in this city on Sunday. direct amend
lnent of the present law for that purpose by the
legislature has not of late been strongly advo-
Gated in any quarter. probably because those
who originally urged such change have known
that there was no possibility of its adoption;
but arguments in favor of a popular vote. pref
erably by boToughs, wards or other subdivisions
of the city, have continued TO be presented.
From the Governors announcement of his
position it is obvious that there is no more
chance this winter for the latter scheme than
for the former He would not oppose an exten-
sion TO the cities Of the right which the towns
possess TO vote for against the sale of liquor
on week days within their borders. but he is
convinced that no community should be per-
mitted TO settle for itself the question of open
saloons on Sunday until the people at large
have authorized such q referendum by general
vote. in the same manner that the provisions of
the organic law are ordained.
Ii may he .contended that there is some incon-
sistency i'm this attitude. inasmuch as the local
option principle is now applied, under limita-
tiOns, 10 rural Pmmunities but not to cities.
the representatives of the latter having desired
that they should be excepted when the law was
lidSSeus Dul IL II llTODaDle llat Il OF
the people agree with the Governor that there
is a fundamental distinction between sales OF
liquor on Sundays and sales on otler days In
any case there is no further Use in urging a
measure which the Governor could scarcely
persuade the legislature to pass if he so desired,
and to which, Of course. his opposition is fatal.
This termination Of a movement which has been
earnestly supported since the November cleo
tiOn by many citizens of the highest character
will cause considerable disappointment. but we
are by no means sure that it is to be regretted.
The Tribune has more than once suggested that
a FIRM and honest police administration might
avail 10 stop the worst denominations of the
Ranes law hotels, ana that il would certainly
throw much light on the question Of what, if
any, additional legislation is needed TO correct
the rank abuses which have fiourished under
the law as il stands, largely no doubt through
- connivance of a Tammany government,

NOW THAT THE GRAB Is BEATEN

The audacious and indcfenSible grab of the
Metro9olitan Street Railway at the Central
Bridge and viaduct is beaten II perished at
noon of yesterday in company with other i'll
conceived schemes Another attempt may be
made to put it through under the new city GOV
ernment. If so. it will have to he newly made
from the beginning. and the promoters can have
little hope of its success.
But to prevent a successful renewal of the
scheme in years 10 come two or three things
should be done at the earliest opportunity. One
is that the tricky legislation under which this
grab was attempted should be repealed or 50
modified as TO restore in full force the original
prohibition of car tracks on the Central Bridge
and vaduct. That is demanded in the name OF
justice 10 the people Of this city, who built and
paid for those great and noble works on the eX-
press condition and understanding that they
should never he invaded by car tracks.
Another thing is that the people of The Bronx
should renew and reduplicate their demand for
prompt relief from the present conditions of
interborough travel 1t is hardship that they
should be compelled to walk a quarter of
mile or more from one car line to another.
There should be direct connection without even
change of cars between the lines in The Bronx
and those in Manhattan. But the railroad COM
pany. which is making huge profits out of the
transportation business. should provide the con-
nection, and should be- compelled to provide il,
at its own expense The demand should be for
the Metropolitan corporation to do its plain
duty. and not for the city to surrender the peo-
pies property To private greed.
Finally. II will be well to have il made clear
that hcnceforth public franchises In this city
are not 10 hc given away, and public property
Is not To he diverted from its designed and
legitimate uses. There has already been far too
much of that sort of thing, and corporate greed
grows on that which il feeds. There has
seldom been more ineXcusablc attempt at
wronging the public than in this Central Bridge
and viaduct case. 1t is to he hoped that its de-
feat marks the turning of the tide of public
opinion and of official action against such
spoliaton.

A CONNEcTICUT REroLrTJoy.

The convention which meets to-day at the

ter say, the need which summons it-afforls an
interesting illustration of the necessity that the
Old order should change ana give place TO new
lest one good custom should corrupt the world" -"
Ihe convention meets to remodel the Connect
cut constitution, and espccially-so it is hoprd-
to abolish the system of equal town representa-
tion in the Legislature. There can be little Doubt
that such Il change is urgently desirable al
though thoughtful men discern something to he
said upon both sides of the question. Never
thelesS, that which is now an anachronism and
cause OF gross abuse was once most admir-
able thing and the source of some inesttmabe
benefits. not only TO the one State. but also TO
the whole nation. The present complaint is
that one once good custom has, through too
long maintenance, become corrupt
The present constitution of Connecticut is
only about cighty-four years old But it is the
offspring, and in essential points the unhrokcn
continuation of one more than two hundred and
fifty years old. 1t was at this same Hartford.
on January ii. 1G39. that the colOniSts of Hart
ford. Windsor and WetherSfied under the lead
erShlp OF that extraordinary man Thomas
Hooker, adopted the original Connecticut con
stitution. That immortal document has we'll
been said to have been the first written consti-
tuition known TO history that created govern
'ment" In its complete disregard of the Eng
lish King and of all other governments save
that at Hartford it was II fine forerunner of the
Declaration Of Independence, and in other par-
ticulars il was, more tlfan any other and later
colonial constitution. the antetype and model
OF the constitution of the United States Its
most striking feature was that which the DreS-
ent convention aims to abOlish--namey equal
representation of towns. The colony fountfed
by Hooker was made a federation of indenpn-
dent and equal towns and to those towns were
reserved ali the rights not specifically granted
federal government. Each town, without re-
gard TO size, had the same representation as
each other i'll the colonial legislature The re-
semblance is obvious between that system and
the relationship of the States under the consti-
tuition of the United States and especially i'm
the United States Senate; and il is TO he re-
membered that it was Connecticut which. backed
by her own successful experience decided tbe
crisis i'll the Federal Constitutional Convention
in 11SI and gave to this nation its system of
equal State representation in the Senate We
may also recall that-whether because of or i'm
spite of that particular feature of its constitu
tiOn-Connecticut enjoyed great prosperity. and
in the Revolutionary era had perhaps the most
stable and efficient of all the colonial govern
mentS.
Beyond doubt, however, the principle of equal
town representation has-in its existing applica-
tion-become an anachronism and an anomaly
