The State Legislature will adjourn in a smudge of scandal unequalled ~ Brrecent years, NO. 18,963, PAséous Niagara grab; killed the 8Ocent gas bill; repudiated the ‘pledge of its party and candidates to repeal the tax on the savings of the poor; refused to amend the mortgage tax so as to include the bonds of fallroad corporations; rejected the bill to start police reform and emas- culated the bill, afterward killed in the Assembly, to prevent and punish Corruption in elections, Thanks to the persistence of the Governor and the efforts of Senator TAMMANY AND “THE PEOPLE.” "’ ‘After shouting and resolving in favor of cheaper gas for the plundered people of this city, ten Tammany Senators united with thirteen bolting Repeblicans in killing the 80-cent gas bill. : ‘Whether this action was due to boodle, to'‘graft”in the “organization,” or to secret orders from the skulking and silent Boss, the effect will be the Same, The Tammany Senators have made the election of McClellan or Tammany's love for the “plain pee-pul” was still further illustrated fn Its votes against the bills to tax stock gambling and to equalize the tax Gn mortgages, THE QUESTION OF SHAME. Mayor Dunne, of Chicago, refuses to call for State or Federal aid to end the strike riots and violence on the plea that he does not want to “shame the city in the eyes of the world by admitting that we cannot pre- "Serve order in our streets.” But does not the shame already exist when the entire trucking and Gelivery business of Chicago is suspended on account of the strike—when crimes of violence are committed almost hourly—and when the contend- ing parties are armed for deadly conflict? If Mayor Dunne, with the police force and such special deputies as he "ean call upon, is able to restore order and preserve the peace, that is un- doubtedly the better way. We have an idea that the New York police would have made short work with the ricters before this time, But the history of all such outbreaks proves that.f the police either cannot or will ‘mot put down a riot at the start they are usually helpless when a great >) strike of violence gets under full headway. i If Mayor Dunne can restore order and give to the people of Chicago their paramount right to do business and use their streets at will he will deserve credit. But the “shame” which he dreads is already upon the city for its unchecked anarchy and its unrestrained disorder. The quick- est way to end it is the best. ‘ A CHANCE FOR CASSIDY. ‘Senator Cassdy, who sees only “a waste of power” in the world- wonder, Niagara, ought not to stop with his effort to give the Falls to boodling corporation, although, thanks to Publicity and an honest As+ sembly committee, the Grab is killed for this year. , He ought to prepare a bill for the next session providing for grinding: Into dust the Soldiers and Sailors’ Monument and the Tomb ofGrant, on Riverside Drive. Why should these useless piles encumber the ground when the | ecourers, the chemists and the adulterators of food are-crying for marble Dry up Niagara, blast down the Palisades, make pulp-of-the Adiron- ack forests, grind up the monuments! There is nothing great but the " \Almighty Dollar, and to get Boodle is the chief end of legislators! ' SAFEGUARD ELEVENTH AVENUE. If Eleventh avenue were on the centre of Manhattan Island and fs residents were people of means and social standing conditions which have annually clamored to the Legisiature in vain would long since have been Criminal Courts Building. No such state of affairs would now be tolerated, yard instead of a public thoroughfare. Accidents are of daily occurrence, and the children in the tenement-houses are the most frequent sufferers. Property values are injured by restriction of the neighbohood to cheaper tenements and factories. The clergymen of the neighborhood have headed a movement to hetter conditions, but so far they have not succeeded. The crowding of the population has increased the number of accidents, The New York Central is spending a vast sum to improve its facilities in the central part of the city. A comparatively small expenditure would relieve the west side from its present dangers, ‘The People’s Corner. The record of the Senate is particularly black.
