When t regain the use of their strength and speech we expect them CROKER'’S GLANCE INTO THE FUTURE |to rear up on their hind legs and how! derisively at a civilization which Richard Croker must be chuckling | some great big chuckles about this time | as he contemplates the mass of “re-| form" legislation that is being put through. Weapons enough to turn the city government into the next thing to an absolute monarchy are being forged i at Albany. The fancied necexsity for| Provide patrol wagons, “to transport fan immediate clean sweep of all old | Prisoners, supplies and property wher- ofMfice-holders overshadows every other |¢Ver the use of such teams shall be consideration, and laws that, on gen- | Proper and tend to preserve the pubs eral prinicples, would be absolutely in- |e peace and decency," It Is an in- defensible, are being passed to accom- plish that purpose. It seems to be entirely forgotten by the reformers—although Richard Croker ‘we warrant, thinks of {t often--that while | emergencies pass laws remain. The} same laws that enable the present city | Government to make a clean sweep now | will be as handily at the service of the mext Mayor. And the next Mayor will certainly be &@ Democrat. It would be a rash prophet who would say that he might not be a Tammany man. At least he will proba- bly be elected by the ald of Tammany votes, It is a serious question for reformers to consider, whether the present emerg- ency 1s so desperate as to demand the | sacrifice of the future. Is it worth | while, for the sake of getting possession of all the offices at once, instead gradually, to create a system and a| precedent for another clean sweep when- | ever Tammany manages to clect a sympathetic Mayor? Of course, a reform administration will not use these extraordinary new powers to secure its own re-election, but would | @ Tammany administration hesitate to | do m0? And if Tammany iid get an op- portunity to use these new laws made @pecially to root out ‘offensive’ men and to fill the offices with men friendly to the administration, would even s)| great an effort of public sentiment as that of last November overthrow «| Power so thoroughly installed? | Ie it ever good policy to make bad) faws? i THE WEATHER TRIAL. New York has not much to boast of | Just now on the score of freedom from the bilzzardly and cyclonic weather com- | mon in other parts of the country. Vulgarly speaking, we have got it this time where the chicken got the axe. Nevertheless, we ought to be satisfied when we compare our condition with hat of some other places in the be! ef the “zero” weather. The suffering | has been great, and the history of the cold spell of 1895, when {t ts fully writ- ten, will be found crowded with terrible tragedies by land and sea. Here the effects of the cold are such as charity | and benevolence can in a great deg and, it is to be hoped, will remedy. | The storm is hard on Commissioner | ‘Waring. It will put him on his mettle He has done #0 admirably in our lesser troubles that we have hopes that he will give the city relief now in good time. But there must be no monkeying on the part of the Commissioners of Exti- mate and Apportionment about + Money. If people want the strects cleared of the snow, they must pay for | ft, and so long as every dollar is hon- ently expended the appropriation must be made as liberal as necessary. THE COMPTROLLER'S REMEDY. Comptro'ler Fitch's remedy for the re- fusal of capital to invest in the city’s 3 per cent. bonds 1s to make them pay- able in gold. The Board of Estimate | and Apportionment agreed yesterday to the proposition, and it is said the bonds Bre to be issued at once, It is immaterial now to inquire what bas damaged the city's credit or how it is that our bonds, which were eagerly Bought for at less than 3 per cent. 4 short time ago, do not now receive a hid The Comptroller attributes it not to lust eredit, but to the unsettled condition of affairs at Washington. Whatever th @auee, f is certain that we cannot com- Mand = market for our securities as Peadlly as we did, Is tt wite to apply the remedy proposed by Comptroller Fitch?

Is it good financial policy to take this risk on the city with- out considering the extent our financla diMculties may reach? Had we not bet- ter pay a slightly higher interest and know just what the present condition of affairs will cost us than venture on a blind remedy, the expense of which we cannot measure? Meanwhile, now that we have got “re- form,” had we not better stop trying to make the world believe that New York 18 a vile city, misgoverned, robbed and in the ascens 1 over to he ney In its affairs and gly orst sort of practic: IMBECILITY IN CONGRESS. ‘The Springer bill was defeated In the House of Representatives yesterday by a vote of 134 In its favor and 161 against It, The Reed substitute was alo de- feated by 1 to Is7, It ts thus qu! tain now, if it not previously, a eettied fact, that nothing will be done by Congress to relieve the Government and the country, and that the responsibility rests with the Democratic party. Ignorant, incapable, indifferent, en- vious and Inharmontoue, the Democratic Neroes fiddle while Rome is burning Nothing now remains but another {s- sue of bonds by the Government on such terms as the moneyed Interests have dictated, to be followed by another and another as soon as the present {neue has been succeeded by another drainage of mold, Will the Republican Congress do any better? Let us wait and see, well satis- ned at least by the knowledge that it cannot do any worse. STATESMEN THAT DON'T KNOW GAS. Elther the legislator that blows out the gas and the servant girl that “last was seen coaxing the fire with kero- gene’ are becoming scarce, or the newspapers are treating their achleve- ments with typeless contempt. It is a long while now since we heard of the girl with the coal-ofl can doing anything to distinguish herself, and as for law: makers who use gas Jets for lung test- who didn't know enough to turn off the gas in their room in a Harrisburg hotel. ‘They were found in a cheerful state of asphyxiation after passing all night in leals with such deadly stuff as coal when tallow dips and “ karrysene" jamps are so much safer and better, A bill has passed the State Senate, ‘compelling New York's Police Board to fringement upon the home-rule principle to pass such a DIM as this, and for It New York has to thank the successive Be Is of worse than Incapable men which have controlled the police affairs of the elty for a number of years past.
