Now York's Governor Has Discovered
Corruption nt thn 1'olts.
Albany , N. Y. , Jan 7. Governor Hill , in
bis unnunl message to the legislature , urges
tbo desirability of some changes in the laws
relating to elections He reviews the pres
ent election laws and says : Yet in spite of
tbeso excellent provisions our laws do not
teach the two great evils which attend our
elections Intimidation and corruption
These flourish unchanged , bringing shame
upon our state , rendering'bur-elections a
mockery nnd threatening oven the integrity
and existonCo'of our political institutions "
Ho devotes considcrablo attention to the
Australian system and says many of its
features arc admirable , while others are do-
cidcdly objectionable , constitutionally and
otherwise The governor recommends the
passage of a law which will provldo for se
cret compartments for the voters and claims
this provision alone would do much to re
move corruption and would sccuro the chief
benolits of true electoral reform In his
opinion a gcnoral registration of electors
throughout the whole state should be a part
of the system

In nt once , as ho was tbo lit to uttond at t ho

There is very little prospect of nny mate

With the last volume the committee will
submit the conclusions and tunlco recommen
dations Senator Stownrt of Nevada is
chairman of the committee Ho and Senator
Reagan of Texas are greatly in earnest
They desire that an appropriation shall bo
made for experimental artesian wells , these
gentlemen are franK to say , however , that
thcro is very llttlo if any orospoct that an
appropriation foe this purpose can bo gotten
through the senate They nro confronted
with very obstinate opposition from
senators in the eastern and central states
It appears that nearly all of the senators
who are not located on tbo arid regions op
pose irrlgation * at government expense
Senator Stewart thinks the best that can bo

A DISOItACEFDL FAILURE
Along with the comment upon the Cashier
Silcott defalcation and other domocratlo
crookedness , the deplorable und scandalous
embezzlement of the late New York Star
management comes in for propAr condemna
tion in Washington , The Star was founded
by Representative Dorsncimer , who was a ,
distinguished domocratlo lieutenant gov
ernor of Novv York The paper was es
tablished as the personal organ of President
Cleveland , and its mission was to renomi
nate nnd reelect him Among other things
it entered upon in tholntorcstof public popu
larity was the raising of a fund for tbo
Grant mouument It appealed to tbo'poor
working mon and women to contribute
10 , 15 or 25 cents each and raised $1,050 In
sllvor The Star was a losing venture , and
after sinking Dorshoimer's ' fortune and several -
eral hundred thousand dollars besides , it
used this money collected from these poor
people for the Grant fund , all in the Inter
est of Cleveland's rcnomlnnlion and ro-oloc-
tion 'Iho Star has failed und this fund is
among its liabilities The Silcott scandal , in
volving a steal of 82,000 , is not half as
black ns this embezzlement , whioh rests ut
the door of Mr Cleveland's principal
friends
riLiuusTnitiNO tactics
Tbo preliminary Bklrmisb in the house to
day over the adoption of a now sot of rules
demonstrated that tbo democrats intend to
show tnoir cusscdness on every possible
occasion
'Iho republicans simply asked that the
rules of the last congress should govern the
nouso during the consideration of an appro
priation bill which was ready to bo taken up
and the democrats demanded that before
any business whatever was transacted the
now rules should ba considered The ro-
nublicans bad their way by a strict party
vote The democrats attempted to filibuster ,
and would huva succeeded had not Speaker
Reed showed his molul and capabilities and
sat down upon the proceedings The repub
licans intend to adopt a set of rules which
will enable them to govern the house , as tbo
people Intended thev snould when they so-
looted a majority of their members at tno
polls The majority will rule , us it should ,
and although the democrats may attempt to
wusto time and exorcise the spirit they
showed today they will gain nothing in the
end except the contompl of the oountry
Mr Hood said this afternoon that the now
cede of rules would bo ready to submit to
the house not Inter than Saturday and added
that ho had shown portions of the proposed
changes to Mr Kuudull and that that gentle
man , while he had not openly committed
himself , had loft tbo impression on
the speakers mlud thul bo would favor
them Mr Hoed said , however , that ho hud
not consulted Mr Randall at all in referonro
to the proposed changes winch effect the

DORSET'S HVNKINO IDEAS
At the meeting of Chairman Dorsoy's
committee on banking and currency this
morning the selection of Mr Hirkok of Fro
inout to bo clerk of the committee was con
firmed unanimously , The committee on
banking and currency has now been fully
organized and will enter Into Its work with
a vigor Mr Horsey behoves that the first
thing that should bo done by the committee
Is the adoption of a bill permitting national
banks to issue circulation to the par vuluo of
the bonds deposited with the treasurer of
the United States ; that there should then
bo a new issue of bonds authorized
to draw 3 or 8 par cent and
to run a long peiiod , for the
accommodation of nationni banks in securing
circulation Ha believes tno next step to bo
takou should bo a decrease of tbo minimum
of the deposit required for circulation At
present banks are required to take out U5
per ocut of their capital stock in circulation
when 5 or 10 per com would meet the objects
of the law Just as well

gruuon of persors of color from the south HJ
orn states Ho had reached the conclusion H |
that there was a natural Incongruity and lr- H |
roprcssiblo conflict between the races Tno H |
return of the negro race to Africn was the H |
only solution of the problem * It was undo H |
nlnblo that the aversion between tbo two H |
races had greatly Increased slnco slavery H |
wus nbolished , und It would incrcuso so long H |
as a large portion of the population was of H |
the African race Exporictico would not H |
permit the statement that such n feeling of H |
aversion existed only In the south It wns H |
not bo intense in the south as it was In the H |
north It was not so strong between the H |
negro and his former master as it H |
was between tno negro and these who H |
novcr owned slaves Tbo separation of the H |
races was the only thing that could ex tin H |
guish race aversions In Africa the negro H |
could grow up to the full meusuro of his dcs- H |
tiny Slavery , Morgan said , would bo nbolH |
isbed in Central America jf the work was H |
loft to tbo whites it would bo a slow process , H |
but the American negro would accomplish it H |
if ho dwelt among those people In summing H |
up his speech Morgan pointed to the fact H |
that tno negroes bad no chance to rise in tills H |
country Political influence would novcr lift H |
the negro race In this countr.vyioovo its pros H |
cnt tovel On the coutrury the friction and H |
collision caused by the nogrocB' us * H |
of thn ballot would crcato moro nnd more H |
