LEGISLATIVE WASTE.

Assemblyman Apgar's plan TO shorten the
sessions of the legislature by so amending the
rules that bills before introduction must be sub
rnitted TO the commission of lawyers employed
70 advise as 10 the form of bills is one worthy
of serious consideration. An enormous amount
Of time and money is wasted on account of
mere blunders in the drafting of bills. 1t costs
the State about 81, 900 day to run the legislat-
ure. When bills are carelessly drawn and have
10 be amended, not for reasons of policy Dut
sinplv TO correct mistakes, the business of the
session is delayed. Strict attention to business
on the part of members could materially shorten
the term of the legislature without shutting off
debate or unduly rushing bills through. a great
deal of time is lost in the mere picking up Of
loose ends, and one Of the extremely loose ends
is this matter of imperfect bills.
Another even more important avenue Of waste
in relation to bills is the needless printing and
reprinting member throws n hastily drawn
bill into the hopper and has 1t printed at public
expense. In a day or two he finds some bad
English or some unconstitutional provision, so
he gets it amended Once more it is reprinted
and this may go on indefinitely The printers
are clever in making the most of such changes
The alteration Of a word will give them the eX-
cuse for a reprint, which by some hocus-pocuS
they manage 10 charge up as if the whole thing
were set up anew, while they could get only
trife for the same number of additional copies
of the first edition. In this and other ways the
public printing is made 10 be unduly expen-
slve, and sometimes it seems as if bills were
amended for no other reason than the printers
profit The rules ought 10 be revised TO cut
down the legislative printing so far as posi-
BILE and to compel members to put their meas
ures in something like finished form before in
PRODUCING them.

4 STICKLER.

The attempt to defeat on constitutional GROUNDS
the will of the people declared IN iaVor OF the
1.000tOn barge canal by a majority OF -4o'uVV Is
certain to cause considerable delay, and there
fore serve in a measure the purpose or It's
authors. whether or not they expect their con-
tention to be sustained in the end Ii II Is lacl
that several eminent lawyers believe they have a
good case, they have some reason lot hopinG W
win but their reticence as to the CONSTITUTIONAL
questions which they intend to raise does not IN
dicate great confidence Some light, however, Is
beInc gradually thrown on the nature OF the
points which they promise to call to The atleh-
ton of the court and we are dlsposeu 10 GULL
mend Senator Cassidy for the comparative frank
ness of the speech which he delivered IN the
Senate yesterday.
Senator Cassidy appears 20 think that 700
many questions were submitted TO popular Nole
in 1903. In his opinion the people should have
been permitted TO do no more than authorize d
debt for canal enlargement, impose a tax 10 pay
If and fix the time 1t should run; whereas the
law on which they voted establishes the route OF
the canal defines the powers of the State Engi-
neer and the Canal Board and contains various
other provisions These said the SENATOR are
not matters which can properly be put to popular
vote. Perhaps he is right but Article VII, Sec
ton 4, Of the constitution, says:
Except the debt specified in sections anu
3 of this article Ito repel 1nVaSlohS anu noC 81
ceeding 81 100000 to meet the casual uenclls anu
expenses not provided for), no deptS shaH oe

tracing thereof. No such law shal take enect
until il shall at a general election, nave oeeh
submitted 10 the people and have received
majority OF all the votes cast for ana against II
at such election.
It has not thus far been intimated that too
little was submitted to the decision Of the people
and we think it will not be so easy as Senator
Cassidy supposes to show that too much was
submitted There was the law. 1t was regularly
passed. 1t prescribed the plans and methods de-
yised by the legislature for the performance OF
the work. in case the people should decide that
the money needed should be raised and devoted
10 the specified object. The prerogadves OF the
Iawmakjng body were not abandoned or threat
ened The legislature having determined how
the work should be done, if done at all, the peo-
pie said, "All right; we'll pay for It 1t LOOKS
TO US as If Senator Cassidy were trying to be
more constitutional than the constitution.

THE FRENCH "CRISIS."

1t has long been so customary and IS so con.
venieBt to speak of the resignation of a Euro
pean Ministry as a crisis that the word natu-
rally comes TO the fore in speaking of the
change which IS now being effected in the
French government. Really, however, it is not
Il crisis at ali It is not what the dictionary
defines as "a decisive turning point No revO-
luton is impending, nor any marked change
of policy. Governmental control is not 10 be
transferred from one political party to another.
The retiring Ministry is not forced out 1t had
a majority at its back, and could have re-
maned in office if it had wished to do so.
Upon really Important issues it had an over
whelming support. Its strength had been i'll
creasing, as last years Senate elections clear
~ showed. Indeed it is not ali really going
out. doing so in more than n formal sense
For it is understood that some, probably ma
joTity, of its members will be included in the
new Ministry, among them two or three Of the
most important and it is practically assured
that the new Ministry will on every important
Issue continue the policy of the old one.
The change viii be one of Prime Ministers
rather Jhan Of Ministries. DIR. COmbes will re-
tire, and VI. R0uyier, probably, will take his
place. The incident is not, however, To be
looked upon as a defeat, or even a serious re-
buke, for Dr. COmbes. He retires voluntarily
and with the honors of war, as did NJ Waldeck-
Rousseau before him, and he practically die
tates who shall be his successor. 1t has long
been known that he was quite willing 10 retire
whenever the time OppOrtune-that is TO
say, when he could make sure of being succeed
ed by a strong man, who would maintaia the
policy which has been so successful for the last
six years. That time has now come There
are OF course, some special though minor inlu-
ences at work Some features of DR. Combes's
administration have not been popular Espe-
ciaily is the detective work in the army and
elsewhere dsllked, though there seems TO be
much excuse for it in the scaIdalous miscon-
duct which was rife in some parts OF the army
in the Jew-baiting epoch Of the Dreyfus case
Dr. COmbes might Of course, have avoided any
odium from that source " putting all responsl-
bity upon his War Minister. Instead, he chiv-
alrOusly takes it all upon himself and re-
tires with II, in order that his colleagues nav
reorganize themselves under more popular au-
spices.

New-York tribune., 1905-01-18

Ministers who in the last half dozen years have
done so much to free France from the reproach
of instability and TO place her public interests
upon a secure and consistent basis. 1t is par
tlcuarly auspicious that he is pre-eminent as
1inancier, because the finances of the republic
are, of all purely domestic affairs, most in need
of expert attention. He has been Minister OF
Finance in DR.. Combes's Cabinet. If he does
not retain that portfolio in his own, he will Sc
lect the man who is to do so, and will doubtless
exercise certain supreme control over that de-
partment. That he will continue the policy of
NJ WaldeclI- Rousseau and of DR.. Combes tow
ard. the Vatican goes without saying. No other
policy. apparently would be possible in France
at this time. If, as is confidently assumed, VI.
Delcasse retains the portfolio of Foreign At
fairs, which he has held with such distinction
that fact will be an ample guarantee of the con-
tinuance of the successful and benefcent for
eign policy of recent years The crisis" then,
is not crisis, nor a material change, but n
strengthening and confirmation of the French
government in its ordered ways Of peace and
wisdom.

a certain sense Of humor. They knew that
their game was ninety-nine one-hundredths

strength OF the organization" they pretended
20 represent was largely fictitious. Wrote one
of them 10 the other:
Both political parties think and believe that
We have much more strength, many more mem
hers in our organization and more perfect or
famization than we have This is all in our
favor and all comes from the quantities Of tee-
