Albany.The first definite suggestion regarding

the probable date of the Legislature'sfinal adjournment appeared last week,emanating from Senator Ellsworth and•^Vpsffitytfilypf^jg^ w"" j^ttqm.

v leaders in the two Houses. Both expressthe view that thelegislature? canplete its. work and^go home as qarly aslast year, which woujd lie about the firstof Ap»U--5Co.-WtsiaVrs.'ge«ieaiiUy, how-

«Jg|oinfe|ngi

._ The story runs that a!_^,._...r „ r ^ HES In Ittding Sir.: fial«by, are dissatisfied- that- outsiders shouldassume to niark out the work which the

. Legislature is to do, reducing that bodypractically to the function of a register*ing machine, and are disposed to rise inrevolt against such a system. Then, too:there are questions of providing appropriations to supply the deficiencies whiclhave been discovered in several departmehts, and of the obligations whiclclaims for canal damages may impose

fe To reconcile the conflicting opinions regarding^ such measures as theNewYorlpolice and the civil service bills, t<straighten out the general appropriationsto satisfy the local demands from all overthe State for State aid to various vorkfeand interests, and to round -up othej:legislation it would seem that more timewill be required than is alloted by Col.Ellsworth'and Mr. Allds. As to the tasrate nothing particularly definite has yen

' been heard, but if provision has to himade for all deficiencies and for manycanal-damage claims it is not unlikelythat it will be higher than it was in 1893.

Speaker Nixon, who has been detainedat bis home by illness almost all of th'etime since the session opened, has nownearly regained his health, and is ex-pected to appear in his place this week.

A bill has passed the Senate permittingjustices' courts to be held in buildingswhere liquor is sold if such traffic, is, notconducted in a room adjoining that ofthe court.

The bill requiring preference to begiven, other things being equal, in pur-chases of supplies for State institutionsto products raised within this State haspassed both Houses, and requires onlythe Governor's signature to make it law.

The expectation now is that an appro-priation of $300,000 will be voted for aState exhibit at Buffalo's great exposi-tion in 1901. Buffalo has raised thus farthe sum of $2,000,000 for the enterprise.1

- The Assembly committee on codes hasdirected that a bill be reported for pas-sage which makes it a misdemeanor togive or sell in any city or incorporatedvillage to any person under eighteeny&irs of age any pistol or firearm or anyair. gun. The main purpose back of thebill is to decrease the dangers due tocareless shooting, but a minor considera-tion also- makes it salutary legislation.One of the greatest charms of a countryvillage is, or used to be, the great num-bers of song birds frequenting them insummer. In tote years, however, therehas been a deplorable decrease in %\}e-flocks of our feathered' friends, and thesmall boy with the air gun is in great-

.measure responsible. ' It will subserveonly good ends if the bill in question be-comes law.

A bill has appeared in the Senate ap-. propriating half a million dollars for con-

tinuing the acquisition of lands is theAdirondacks. Inasmuch as Senator Ells-worth, the Republican leader, is sponsorfor. it, it is probably destined to pass.

Preposterous Criticism.Gov. Boosevelfc has nominated to the

Senate Gen. James M. Vamum to be sur-rogate of the county of New York, inplace of Judge Arnold, whose neglect ofduty and mismanagement dro vehim to re-sign in order to escape legislative investiga-tion and impeachment. Gent Varnum isconceded upon all sides to be a gentlemanof thei highest character and one of thebest lawyers in the metropolis. He was theRepublican nominee for attorney-generalin 1889, and though defeated ran twelvethousand votes ahead of his ticket. Acommon-sense view approves theselectionas admirable, but in the narrowness ofpartisanship the Democratic press con-demns the Governor for it upon theground that, being made for a Democratic

^county, a Democrat instead of a Repub-lican should have .been chosen. Thesentimentalists in politics who make civilservice reform a fetich and exalt disre-.gard of party considerations as the sum ofgoodness are eyensiliier in their treatmentof the appointment., Admitting tbat it tereasonably creditable and that Gen, Var*num possesses the necessary qualificationsfor tbe place, they yet claim, that iknaming lam the Governor has .surren-dered his official independence to partypressure and has stultified himself simplybecause they, say, I Gen. Yarnum is notconspicuously the best trained man forthisBarticularplac^ who might have been

Bteting his views cfonoeMiinff*heSion, imd^the fafcure aispoisftitmPhilip* ines. Finished in style and loftyin sentiment, it was worthy of the manand of the office he holds. To the anti-

p ^ it,"ought to be silencing,while to those who wouldfholdthe^slandsas a permanent possession of the UnitedStated t is not likely to afford ground forvery vi gorous dissent. >

t ' President? demonstrates impres-isimjlyri &afc we could* not have- *>justifiedourselves in <pr ownoonsciencesor before$tiie wj fau^al of manidrid" if after freeingthe -Filipinos from the domination ofS^tt! wehaft "leftftfiem wifhout govern*merit and without power to ptote^t lifeor'pronerty.or >to pertoinxithe interna-tionaljobligations essential toan independ-ent St^te." Then, "ppintmg;oi)tfc that thefuture treatment of the Philippines is aproblem for solution by the Congress,which " is the voice, the conscience andthe judgment of the American people,"he prt ceeds to say for himself—

"Ican not bound my Alston by the blooeUUlnedtrenctiei around Manila, where eyerj red- drop,whette • from the veins ol an American wldler or amisguided Filipino, is unnuishto inr heart; but bythe bro; id raBge ol future years, when that group olislaudt. under the impulse of the year. Just past, shallhave b< come tuegema and glories o£ those tropicalseas; a land or plenty and.or increasing possibilities;a piopl) redeemed from savage indolence and. hablU,devotei to the arts ot peace, in touch with the com-merce : nd trade of all nations, enjoying the bleaalngaof free iom, ot civil and religious Uberty, of educa-tion an i of homes, and whose children and children'*cblldre 1 shall -Jar ages hence bless the AmericanBepubHc because it emancipated and redeemed theirfatherland and set them In the pathway of the world'*best civilization."

Theoretically this is grand and perfect.No a an will care to challenge its senti-ment , but descending from the clouds to aplain every-day, practical proposition thetime must be regarded as many gener-ation i distant when the semi-savages of atropi :al climate—physically indolent,intellectually dwarfs, saved by Jtheboun ;y of nature from the ceaseless strug-gle for existence which more northernpeop] es arecompelled to wage, and viciousbecai ise conscienceless—will have learnedthe lessons essential to attainment ofthe i osition which the President picturesfor t lem. Meanwhile they are and mustcontnue to remain dependents of theUnit ediStates. Great Britain distinctlyavov ed when she assumed her relationsto Egypt that there was no intention tomake them permanent. The declarationwas i undoubtedly sincere, and yet sheremains in control because the obligationsof civilization, humanity and honor willnot permit her to retire. So it is with usn tile Philippines; we are not there by

choibe or design, nor with the purpose,so far at least as the present administra-tion is concerned, of remaining perma-nently. Nevertheless savages require adea( of tutelage, and the time whenur work in this direction will be finished

is so far in the future that no man canmark its end.

Franklin Aeadetny Notes.Tbe order tor question papers for tbe March re-

gents examinations must, be received at Albany atan early date. Any ope not In tbe academy whowishes to tago any examination next month musthand their applicutlou to Prto. Burrltt by Friday,Feb'y 24. Entrance to ezautinationa can not beguaranteed otherwise.

Heturns from tbe June. 1898, (regents examinationpapers were rather late lu arriving this year. Theseregents examinations are made up by the re-gents department at Albany and the answer papersare sent there for final marking. Tbe report Is as.follows: Sixteen 12 count cenlQcates, fourteen 1Acount. Dine 80 count, U academic dlplomia and sixadvanced 00 count diplomas. Each count representsten weeks' successful work In any one subject, mak-ing four counts per subject floe each year's work.Those passing three-fourths or more ot tbe numberof subjects on each certificate. W percent, or over,are entitled %o a purple seal. As a result of the Juneexaminations the following bave earned pmptesealed certificates: IS count, Wm. E. Cameron, FaithD. CblpperDeld, Marcla N. Oalphln, Elizabeth M.Harwood; 24 count. Win. B, Cameron, Bessie P.Vaughan. '

About twenty young men have formed themselvesinto what Is known as tbe Franklin Academy Con-gress. Tbe plan Is similar to a like organization inthe Syracuse High Sehool and was suggested byPrin. Burrltt to take tne place of a debating society.Each member decides by lot to which bouse be will be-long, also his seat In that house. The senate and houseare kept as nearly as possible equal In numbers. Tbesenate elects its president and tne bouse Its speaker.By Joint ballot a clerk and treasurer arc elected, alsotbe president of tbe congress, who presides at eachmeeting. Tbe meetings are held every Monday even-ing at 7:30. Every fourth regular meeting is open tothe public, tbe first public meeting falling on March13. Bills concerning the -public, either of nationalor local Importance, are discussed. These bills mustbe formally drawn up and .have tbe approval of acommittee before they are presented. Usually, theintroducer sees to it that each member has a copy ofbis bill a week before It Is t-> be debated. Each theDmay study the question and be prepared to speakfor or against it at the time ot debate. To becomea law, eacb measure must pass both houses and re-ceive at least tbe signature ot (be congress president.Tbe object of this congress, as stated in tbe constitu-tion. Which each member must sign, is " to becomeversed in tbe science ot republican government andto practice the art ot expression." It also is In linewith the raised standard ot English work In that ittrains the congressman In ability to express himselfclearly and in a way to Impress others and to do It onhis feet, before a most critical audience. Tbe drilland study aid In and extend the work ot the historyand civics classes. Prin. Burrltt has been electedpresident, which necessitates each member attendingstrictly to business. It is interesting to observe bowlittle trifling there is and bow much real seriousnessand earnestness are manifest In the business ot eachmeeting and the concern taken in each bill presentedtor debate. The further workings of this organiza-tion will be given to PAL&ADtim readers In subse-quent Issues. ^ ^ COM.
