'sar about Il There seem to be plenty of
people against the idea and practically no
'one for It. The incident is closed" That is
a frank ard manly statement. which does the
Mayor credit If now he would announce In
similar fashion that he had changed his mind
on the subject Of temporary schools in the
small parks there would be still more CRATE
1ul response from the public He must be
aware Tat there is little more popular support
for that proposition tnan there was for the one
which has been SO quickly abandoned. There
certainly ARE plenty OF people against the
idea" and we honestly believe that there is
practically no one for it, except himself That
is TO say, if he should withdraw his impor-
tant support nearly all Of those who profess TO
approve OF the scheme would cheerfully let it
drop. He did not definitely commit himself TO
the Central Park parade ground idea, and con-
sequenuy he felt embarrassment in giving
Il up. 1t would be rather harder for him to
abandon the school project which he has ex-
preSsly recommended, but the pain Of the
process would last only a moment, and he
would be well rewarded by the marks of pub
lie appreciation which would surely fellow.

THE CORONER AGAIN.
change.

Once more the festive coroner pushes himself
into the public gaze and presents himself as the
strongest argument for his own abolition. Two
OF them appeared to view the body OF young
woman killed in an automobile accident on Sun
day. There WIS an indecorous scene, which
was ended only by the fact that one of the
coroners had already done the work and the
other could not undo it.
This incident is only another argument for
the enactment of the Elsberg bill for the abo-
Hilton of the coroner's Office In this county 1t
has already passed the Senate. The Assembly
should take similar favorable acton speedily
SO that the bill can receive the signature Of the
Governor promptly. Instances of the worth
lessness-or worse-of the coroner system are
constantly arising. The affair of Sunday is the
latest object lesson for the legislators In whose
hands the fate of the Elsberg bill now lies.
Erie County, which includes the first class
city Of Buffalo. has shown us how to do with
out coroners. The orderly conduct of the Bur-
dick murder inquiry by the police justice is in
striking contrast 10 the dsorderly inouests by
our coroners in similar cases here The coro
ner's day is done. The constitution now PERMITS
his adjustment, and the legislature sboud
promptly give us the relief which the EJsbero
bill provides.

GOVERNOR MCRPEY RIGHT.

That The Trenton True American" doesn't
anprove of Governor Murphy's action IN calling
q special session OF the legislature Is not sur
p-ising. That newspaper is a true blue exponent
of Democracy with a consistent record for criti-
cising Republican officials and Republican poll
clos. Anything bearing a Republican label Is
necessarily improper, vicious, unconstitutional
or something else equally reprehensible.
In the present instance, however, it is inter-
esting TO note that some Republican newspapers
in New-Jersey quote approvingly the Trenton
paper In saying thai the summcning or the
legislature Ito pass measures 10 which 1t gave
full consideration and refused TO pass is an I'M
'dignifed and unjustifiable action" and so on
and so on.
Perhaps that may be quoted forcefully and
effectively against taking up the Morris Canal
Abandonment bill. That measure was consid-
cred and deliberately laid aside as being OF TOO
much Importance TO dispose of hurrtedly. There
was no uickery, nc Juggling and no sharp prac-
tee about It The lawmakers seemed to under
stand perfectly what they were doing, and, out
side Of Essex County. there were no protests
against the course taken. Possibly the legisa-
tors may since have discovered reasons for re-
versing their action, and IL SO. they will doubt
less take the public into their confidence

IN THE SEATS OF THE MIGHTY

On the Hon. s. Fred. Nixon, Speaker of the
Assembly. is now placed the chief responsible
fly of deciding whether or not notorious and
wealthy gamblers may continue to defy the
criminal laws of New-YoTk. The Hon. Jesse S.
Phillips, OF Allegany, chairman Of the Commit
tee on Codes, through his readiness to serve the
cause e decency in appearance and betray 1t
in fact, has laid that heavy burden upon the
Speaker. The Committee on Codes on Thurs
day morning voted TO report the Bowling bill,
to secure evidence against gamblers, which has
already passed the Senate. If Mr.. Phillips had
done his duty and made prompt report to the
Assembly, the bill would have been put on the
calendar and voted upon in due order. BY de-
laying his report until Friday the whole mat
ter is put into the hands Of the Committee on
Rules. which mas taken charge. The Codes
Committee report goes for nothing, and the bill
can still be smothered in committee If public
opinion will permit. The spirit and purpose of
Mr. Phillips are hardly to be doubted, in view Of
his statement after the report was ordered that
he had "misgivings OF the Tropriety OF such leg
iSlation." though he had himself voted to re-
port It fayorably.
Now, there may have been a reasonable diff
ference Of opinion about the policy of n law
affecting the rights of witnesses in a partlcu-
lar class OF cases. But that Is no longer the
question TO be considered. We can trust the
courts 10 STOP any INVASION o. INC COusulQlloLdi
rights Of witnesses or defendants. The matter
is beyond that The arch gambler and his at
torneys in the legislature have made the issue
between the public purpose to prosecute gam
biers and the power OF the gamblers 10 con-
troll lawmak.ng by tricks and subterfuge. The
Bowling bill can interfere with nobody's con-
stitutional rights, and persistent and blatant
lavbreakers have no claim to tenderness be-
yord that at the hands of the legislature. The
point now to be decided is whether Garfield
has enough influence with the Committee on
Rules 90 keep the Bowling bill from being
brought to a vote in the form OF its passage by
the Senate. If he can bury the bill or get 1t
amended not TO take effect Immediately, or
iuggie into il something which will wreck it

done which ought not to be done, or things
