to New York State as the Liquor Tax

This amount is $50, 655, 70 more than the

FREouENT LEGISLATION.

In not a great many States of the Union are
annual sessions of the legislatures held now
adays and in a comparatively moderate pro-
portion are Governors elected in each succeed
ing year. The general tendency is to refrain
from legislative sessions every year, and not
TO transform the State government ten times In
n decade.
In this commonwealth the Senators and As
sembymen come together every winter, but
their sessions are rarely prolonged to an inordi-
nate extent. 1t can hardly be doubted how
ever, that in the Empire State ere this COM
paratively new century grows old, such changes
will be made that the custom of converting the
men who do our lawmaking in Albany season
after season without break will be modified.
Biennial legislative sessions will doubtless sup
plant the present system.

POLICE DISCIPLINE.

When Tammany comes into power in Null
berry Street it will find that General Greene and
his associates have done a great deal for the
benefit of the police force itself, as well for
that of the community in general. Faithful and
we'll meaning wearers of the uniform of all
grades have been treated with more conSidera-
ton and generosity than in the old days Of
favoritism and plumber.
Moreover, the standard of discipline has been
set at a far higher notch than in the time of
Devery. If Mr.. McAdOo will honestly apply
himself to carrying on the good work, his
achievements in that branch of the municipal
service will call out the hearty approval of the
community.

FRI light blockades have occurred. Doubtless the
increased promptness is in part due to improved

Stories that followers of the Mad Mullah in

These reports may may not be true If they
are true 1t is surprising that the dupes Of this
false prophet do not rise in rebellion against
him. In this practical century a leader of
fanatics who allows his wretched spear bearers
to starve IS not likely to retain his power for any
