A LITTLE PLAIN TALK.

Some things are happening in the New-Jersey
Legislature not entirely to the credit OF th'it
body and it behooves the authorities or ooth
houses to rectlfy matters ere 1t is too late Inc
losing" of the resolution providing for COM
mission to investigate the question or limited
franchises ought to be searchingly investigated
and prompt punishment meted out to the per-
son responsible Besides there should be no de-
lay in passing the resolution through the Sen
ate. So too, in the case of the bill prohibiting
the diversion or sale outside the State OF any
part of New-Jersey's water supply This meas
ure disappeared mysteriously, and self-respect
on the part of the legislators suggests location
of responsibility therefor
The legislature of 1905 cannot afford to be in
different to its good name, and there will surely
be cause for lasting regret if underlings, lobby
lists or outside influences are permitted TO befog
the record of this session. Jerseymen are no
fools. They are watching things pretty keenly
and they expect frankness and square dealing
from their servants in the legislature. 1T will
be easier to do the right thing now than to ex
plain next fall why it wasn't done.
One act TO the credit of the House of Assembly
is its course yesterday in refusing to railroad
the Morris Canal abandonment bill to second
reading. 1t may be a very good bill, possibly
fawless one, but the people can tell better about
that after they have had three or four days to
study III

BUILDING INSPECTION.

Few intelligent people, after reading about the
collapse of many new buildings in this city on
Saturday and Sunday, imagined that the trouble
was at an end. 1t was generally feared that
the defective workmanship which had made
these accidents possible had been more exten-
sive than appeared Immediately. No surprise
will be excited, therefore, by the fact that sew
eral more fiat and apartment houses have been
officially condemned in the current week.
Owing TO bulging walls and other ominOus
things which have been reported since Sunday,
the partial or complete reconstruction OF these
buildings will be necessary. How many more
ought to be torn down because frozen mortar was
used in their erection no one can tell, but there
can be little doubt that the list should be much
longer than it IS.
A fine revelation of the vigilance and honesty
of Commissioner Hopper's inspectors is made by
their own reports If their entries are correct
they visited the scene of unlawful operations
repeatedly without discovering anything wrong.
Can it be that they did not always go when
they made record of doing so? Or were they
blind? Why did they never make complaint?
Aud ignored more irregular work than any of
the other inspectors, apparently; and when he
had spent nearly an hour at the ruins of one Of
his charges, in 135thst., on Monday, he sOlemnly
noted the fact that emergency men were TAX
ing down the walls" but failed to tell why. Ker-
nan, IN whose district was the LexingtOn-ave.
house which collapsed on Sunday, reported next
day that the remnant Of the rear wall there was
unsafe" but made record of any accident,
Exceptionally rapid work on building in 103d-
st. is indicated by Taylor's reports, and the
building tumbled down in consequence; but Tay-
lOr himself seems TO have betrayed suspicion
of its insecurity.
Realizing that the disgraceful exposures of the
last few days have discredited practically all Of
the inspection of new buildings in the last few
months, Mr.. Ahearn, President of the Borough
of Manhattan. has provided for doing it over
again. That is to say, he has appointed a spe-
cial commission TO make comparison between
the construction and the plans as approved by
the Bureau of Buildings; and he desires that
the work begin Immediately. The task may be
performed as thoroughly and promptly as cir
cumstances will admit, but one cannot avoid
specializing about the result. VIII Mr. Ahearn
remove Commissioner Hopper as he has the au-
thority to do? Is there any good reason for
thinking that this whole trouble will not "blow
over in few weeks? Will Mr. Hopper him
self, under the pressure of public opinion. so
reorganize his staff to inspire confidence in IFS
efficiency? Will inspection prove any less farci-
cal next winter than it has been since last De-

the loft year. category. Maryland, Mississippi
and Kentucky elect Governors every four years
in the year preceding a Presidential election.
Virginia chooses a Governor every four years.
in the year following that election. Pennsyl-
vania and Nebraska elect minor State officers
every "off year" and New-York and Colorado
occasionally choose judges. We vote here, too,
every year for Assemblymen and In New-Jer-
sey the members of the lower house and one
third of the Senators are elected annually. In
1908 only Massachusetts,. Ohio, Rhode Island
and Virginia will elect Governors, and minor
officers will be voted for in only Maryland
Pennsylvania and Nebraska.
As a rule. 'toff year. campaigns represent
waste of public energy. They exalt the power
of the routine politician and give the baser ele
ments in politics a convenient chance to win
back the ground they have lost in contests
which enlist more thoroughly the interest and
conscience of the voters. Public opinion is set
ting toward greater concentration and greater
economy of effort at elections. 1t condemns as
artiquated the maintenance of that great force
of political workers which annual elections re-
quire. 1t is beginning to see that with the
rusting of the od-fashoned party machinery
independence of judgment grows, and that with
fewer dust raising party contests the real drift
of public sentiment finds better chance OF ex-
preston.

that its government do more things than ever
before for the public welfare So even growth
of expenditures out of proportion TO the increase
in wealth may be justified. Our grandfathers
did not require good roads of the State or rural
free delivery of the nation. They were content
with dirty streets in the city and water from
the town pump. No doubt we are In many
ways too much disposed TO ask the government
to do things for us; but. nevertheless, admins
