While the Legislature of this State was at work, and while so many investi ting committees were appointed, it was strange that there was no one in that aston- ishing gathering who was sufficiently v move for the appointment of a committee to investigate the United States Senate, and in- form a long-sutfering community of the result of their inquiries at the earliest possible mo- ment. But then we had no rig’ State legislators to display m the paltry sum of $1,500 a session, wisdom they possessed was held i for use at the pool-boxes and book-maker: at. the throughout the Trying to pick out winning horses zs all their wisdom into play, and judging by the success of some of them at this pas- time their wisdom is sadly at fault when largely drawn upon.

FEDERAL employees are just now in a state of mind bordering on frenzy, because one set of fathers of the Republican party are demand- in nents for political purposes, and are threatening every employee who does not “come down with the dust” with dismissal m the service, while the other set of fathers that those who pay the assessment shall | be dismissed. | Those who demand money from the em- ployees are known as the Republican Con- gressional Committea, and the immaculate George Robeson, of New Jersey, looms up as one of the principal members of that com- mittee.

It might be the opinion of those but quainted with the ways of politicians that it would be safe for the employees to ig- nore the Republican Congressional Com- mittee’s demands, bat veterans of many polit- ical battles would probably think otherwise. ssessments, What does Assemblyman Roosevelt think ife by this time? Mr. Roosevelt | is a young man of most excellent family, who | went to Albany to serve his constituents and make a reputation for himself, State prison society, he will probably admit, would have been preferable to the society of the New York State Capital. Ir has just been discovered that David | Dudley Field's Penal Code, which is awaiting the Governor's signature to become the law of this State, is especially kind towards great | corporations, and is thick with all sorts of ab- | surdities, The Governor would do well to put this code in the kitchen stove. TAX-PAYERS may find it wortb their while to keep a sharp eye on the Board of Aldermen during the next three months. Tow many Senators did Commissioner Hu- bert O. Thompson's friends expect to purchase for $20,000 in the closing days of the session, in order to kill off the investigation into the Department of Public Works? In spite of Mr. Thompson's pleadings, the investigation is to be continued during the summer and fall.

Ir it be true that a Democratic Assembly man had an opportanity during the make the snug sum of $10,000 on a single measure, and that this chance to accumulate wealth was nipped in the bud by a Demo- cratic Senator, then we should not wonder be- cause the Assemblyman wept when the Logi: lature adjourned. jon to STRANGERS to New York, at this time, may imagine that because lower Broadway and other prominent thoroughfares are thick with men digging trenches, and because there are great piles of earth and stone heaped about, that some wonderful improvements in street architecture in progress, The fact is, that a band of scurvy politicians, who were granted the privilege by a rascally Board of Aldermen, who did business on a cash basis, are laying steam-pipes through the streets. ‘These politicians have now a good opportun to grow rich at the expense of the city. Wren members of the Tammany Hall Com- mittee on Organization privately say to each other that one of their number, who wear: the toga of a State Senator, made all the way from $50,000 to $200,000 during the last session. it not only shows that the committee- men have not unlimited faith in the honesty of the Senator, but the fact that they thus give expression to their opinions marks a new era in Tammany polities. IF Governor Cornell signs the bill providing for the election of aldermen of this city by assembly districts, then it is safe to predict that the next Board of Aldermen will mainly be composed of Republicans. — Democratic candidates for aldermanic honors will be so plentiful that Republicans will go under the wire first. comicbooks.com
