BUSY TIMES At ALBANY.

Both branches of the legislature have been
busy this week with bills affecting New-York
City, some of them good several of them nox-
ious. Our Board Of Aldermen contains corrupt
politicians who have entered that body with the
intention of enriching themselves. To take
away from them almost all their powers is wise
and judicious. AS New-York has grown older
the character of its City Fathers has not been
greatly elevated. Who can have forgotten the
famous body which awarded to Jacob Sharp the
franchise for a Broadway line of streetcars and
the marvellous series of disclosures which fol-
lowed soon after! No doubt there are members
of the present organization who are no better
than the colleagues of Jaehne To strip them
tainly be of benefit to the city. They have been
so reckless and ObstreperOus in their perform
ances that they have exhausted the public pa
tience. The present outlook is that they will
soon reach the end of their opportunities.
Another measure before the legislature which
is likely to become a law is that conferring on
the Board of Estimate and Apportionment final
power of fixing salaries in this city 1t is
most unfortunate that it has been possible
to appeal to Albany TO raise the compensation
paid to certain classes of public servants This
bill gives the Board Of Estimate and Apportion-
ment authority over salaries in the Board of
Education and none over the pay of day labor
ers. The bill creating a retiring fund for New
York employees ought TO fail \ measure intro
duced by Senator McCaTen increased the ex-
penses OF the Sheriff's office in Kings County
and has properly been defeated.

The Importance of sea power is strIkinely
shown in the suspense and interest as to the
result Of the great naval battle now due at any
time in the China seas Such an impartial critic
and competent authority as Admiral Dewey holds
that If the Japanese are defeated at sea all the
japanese blood shed in Manchuria will have been
shed in vain and Russia will be the final victor in
the war. On the other hand. should the Russian
fleet be annihiated Russia's cause would evi-
IDENTIFY be hopeless. Such situation in the pres
ent mighty struggle for supremacy in the Orient
is sufficient vindication Of the wisdom OF the
policy Of building up a strong American navy,
and happily this country has not waited for its
course in this respect to be vindicated
