If there was ever a time for the; people to make clear and plain to their representatives in the Legislature their unconqueratle purpose that the honor of the State should be cleared and maintained, this is the time. The report of the Armstrong committee carries with it recommended laws. Those laws must be passed. Now nobody will dispute that. It is too evident. What the Rog- erses and the Ryans will do, what their little imitators will do, what the legislators will do who hope to share without too much notoriety in the . &reatest opportunity for bribe money that has ever come even to Albany, is to talk of “amendment,” of “modification,” of the necessity as “prac- tical mén” of the legislators making some “concessions” and “com- Promises.” pe epernapae ind: You have heard such bosh already.

It happens that the New York Life Insurance Company has prac- tically stopped stock-jobbing already. Why? Virtue of the late Mr. Mc- Call? No; but the Government of Prussia would not let the New York Life do business in Prussia if it owned, bought and sold stocks. Is what is good enough for Prussia too good for us? It was openly announced in the German Reichstag a day or two ago that the Government was waiting for a copy of the Armstrong report. The British Government is — doing the same.
