THE GOTERNORS WORK.

The special session has proceeded far enough
to indicate the Governors probable defeat upon
most of the important measures of his pro-
gramme. The direct primaries measure. winch
is necessary to free the voters from the DOM
nation of the political middlemen, the petty
BOSSES is dead in an Assembly committee anu
the Assembly, by an overwhelming vote, mas
sealed its grave. The McCarren bill restoring
local home rule in the Democratic party and
erecting legal protection against the Corners
and Murphy sandhag is reported TO have no
better prospects with the representatives OF
the bosses than the bill which gives to the peo-
pie the power to choose their own Candidates
for Office. So much for the Governors meas
ures TO put the people in control of the poilticai
parties.
The bill extending the Jurisdiction of the
Public Service commissions over the puphc
service companies not yet under their controi
has been altered out of conformity with the
Governors intent. Its defeat or its passage IN
its present form means that even the great
work of the Governors first year in once re-
mains incomplete.
The fate of the gambling bills is in doubt. 1t
is idle TO predict. but such indications as come
from Albany are not reassurng. The anu
gambling bills may pass in consequence OF the
strong and obvious public opinion enlisted in
their support but if they do they will be the
only important part of the Governors pro
gTamme to he enacted. In any event the SEES
sion is sure TO leave the Governors WORK
largely unfinished and no one else can under
take as he can the part of going before the
people of the state and waking them up 10

SOCIALIST GONE ASTR4Y.

How far many socialists are removed from
orthodox socialism may be seen in the political
platform Just constructed by the New York
organization which masqueradeS under the
party name used by La Sale and Marx. If the
fundamental doctrines of socialism are in the
new creed, they are most successfully tucked
away somewhere in the background All EN-
phasis falls upon string of suggestions aiming
toward the betterment Of present social condi-
lions Gas all political suggestions do. after
fashion,. Here may be found that strange
blend Of sense and nonsense which Is appar-
emily characteristic of all socialists.
In general way, the demands for better fac
tory legislation, child labor laws and Inheritance
taxes are reasonable. But what shall We say of
the exhOrtatiOn TO abolish official charity and
substitute compulsory insurance against idleness
Illness. accidents. old age and death! What
Of the request to abolish the Presidents veto
power. to make the Constitution amendable by
ma iorty vote of the electorate to have all
judges elected by the people for short terms. and
TO elect candidates by majority votes only?
For the ten thousandth time in the history OF
socialism 1t Is here made evident that kind
heartedness and a strong sense of justice are
by means a safe substitute for intelligence
and craftsmanship.

THE CENTRAL AMERICAN cOTPT

The opening Of the Central American Court
Of Justice which is seated at Carriage Costa
Rica, has been duly effected this week in the
presence Of American aid Mexican represen-
tatires, amid much enthusiasm on the part Of
the people Of those states and amid the SYM
pathetic and hopeful interest of well-wishers
Of humanity everywhere. The occasion was
aSreeatly marked witt The characteristic gift
by Mr.. Andrew Carnegie of 100000 for the
erection Of q temple Of peace" for the per
manent housing of the tribunal. The incident
may not be regarded as precisely epocb-making
for the entire world, but il is of exceptional
promise 20 the states immediately concerned
and suggestive of benefcent influences for
other nations which it would he neither wise
nor just 10 underrate.
There were those who unanimously acclaimed
the conclusion of the recent treaties among the
Central American states instantly and for
ever eliminating all trouble or possibility of
trouble from their further history The dis
quieting occurrences which have been reported
since that time from Guatemala and other
states might be regarded as disappointing
those sanguine expectations, as indeed they
have done, and even as bringing TO nauCht the
work OF the treaty makers which. however.
they have not done. Correct Judgment is not
the gift Of those who are given 10 'e1pecting
all things in an hour" The wiser view was one
which INDUCED in no illusions and which did
not look for the ushering in of the millennium
with stroke Of pen. and which also did nor
let single cloud entirely obscure the light of
heaven II WIS not wise 10 expect that the
making of the treaties would prevent al
troubles and transform in day the lnin3.
and habits Of five peoples nor would il he
wise TO despair Of the beneficence and ultimate
triumph OF the principles embodied in those
treaties just because some disturbances have
erisen since their conclusion
IL is indeed the most hopeful and inspirtpp
feature Of the case that the Central American
states have not been turned back from nor
deferred in their good purposes by whatever
discourageTnen and obstacles ha ye arisen since
the Inception of those purposes but are nro-
ceeding steadfastly and resolutely with their

STREETC4R REFFIANS.

If money has not lost all its attraction for
transit companies there is some hope that the
hooGlum gangs and other vicious roysterers who
play rough house with streetcar passengers
viii soon get their dues, to the deep satisfac-
ton Of a public which has long endured their
diversions with ignobe meekness. A ruling by
Justice Finete in the City Court last Thurs
day places the responsibility of curbing dis
orderly streetcar passengers squarely upon the
traction company; and failure TO discharge this
duty involves liability for all damages arising
from the misheha vior of such travellers In
