TJie Ren YerK Contention.
The controlling iulluonce of New
Yerk ataie In Hie politics of the country
is Again lelnff unmistakably deinenstra
ted. Alt actions in the llepublican
party Hoxieusly awaited the result of
yesterday's convention in Utlca, feeling
that it would excrclsa a meat potentlul
influence upon the outcome at Cliicntre
in June. The Democratic politicians of
the state, wise In their generation, liave
pofltpeuod their convention, most likely
until after the llepublican national
convention, se ns te take the largest ad
vantage from the situation after that
meve in the presidential game.
New Yerk has net only mere votes In
either national convention than any ether
utate, but It has mere weight in the
electoral college ; and it has the largest
body of Independent voters in the ceun
try, se that its notion in the presidential
year has very logically ceme te be re
garded as of first Importance in political
calculations.
By this measure Its Republican con
vontlen of yesterday would seem te have
given both the Ulaiue and Arthur can
vasses their finishing strokes. The
result is mere disastrous te IHulue than
te Arthur, because the defeat of the
latter In his own state had been
already discounted, while the
lllalne forces, witli such a sin
gular combination of leadership as
Piatt, Cernell and Warner Mlller.nnticl
pated a complete victory ; such an event
would have put their candidate far In
the lead Hal Arthur hud a clear ma
jority of the convention for him Blaine's
defeat would have been no mere crush
leg than it Is, but Arthur's case would
have been vastly improved. Each fac
tion tried te use the Edmunds club te
kaeck the life out of the ether ; but, as
it happens, better management has
given the untlHlaltie element whatever
of advantage accrues te either ; and this
circumstance, with Mahone's victory in
Virginia and the hostility te Blaine of
Massachusetts and Connecticut, disposej
of him.
It by no means fellows that Mr.
Edmunds will be the nominee ; he is
net wanted by the politicians of his
party : as a president he would net suit
thorn at all, and iu the West he is weak
as a candidate. But the promotion of
his candidacy is vastly te the Interest
of the opposition te Blaine and hence
forth it will be used te batter the life
out of what survives of that statesman's
boom.
The Philadelphia llccerd is right in
maintaining that liquor licenses should
go into the local treasuries, and that a
high license tax, te be regulated by the
different municipalities is, the best means
of restricting the liquor tratUc. The
diversion of the license taxes from the
state te the county treasuries w s the
subject of the .lenklusblll passed by tie
Democratic Heuse of the last Legisla
ture and favored by the governor. It
was defeated iu the Senate by the Il.i
graut misrepresentations of the treasury
ring's agents who, te keep the money in
their own control, represented that the
license tax was needed by the state. It
has been an Idle surplus in the banks fa
vored with the treasury leans ever since
The prejier mode of taxing whisky is
te tax its sale, net its manufacture
Then it would be taxed ns a luxury aud
beverage, net as a product of industry,
nor as an element in the mechanical and
useful arts. The government does net
need the revenue from it, neither does
the state, but the counties and cities de
need it. A llceuse tax, adjusted accord
ing te the sales, would be a wholesome
restriction ; the local authorities would
have every inducement te collect It ; the
resulting revenue would be applied
where it is most needed and where the
liquor trallle creates public expense, and
the whisky tax would be equitable and
popular, whereas it is new unjust aud
odious. The Internal revenue system,
with all its complications, aud the prta
wit three-fold taxation of llqu ra should
give way te a simple high license law,
the proceeds te go Inte the local treasu
ties.
Theui: is a remarkable inconsistency
in the expressions of seme of the Hepub
lican state conventions about thendmin
istratien and their action in antagonizing
Arthur's ronemlnation. In New Yerk,
for instance., the Republican state con
voutien declared "its great respect for
President Chester A. Arthur, whose
administration, begun under circum
stances of peculiar sadness, delicacy and
embarrassment, has, by its eminent
prudence aud sagacity, cemmeuded itself
te the esteem of the country, and as such
receives the cordial acknowledgments
of the Republicans of his own state."
And yet the opposition or the con volition,
te Arthur's uemlnat en was only less
unmistakable thau its antagonism te
Blaine's. It is luird te under
staud this, except upon the belief
that the convention Is either insincere
in ita declaration or its action. 1W if
Mr. Arthur has really been this kind of
a president, under the circumstances in
which he came te theellice, he ii abettir
mau for It than auy of the ethers con
splcueusly named for the nomination.
Indeed no ene would Berleusly think of
ever commending Mr. Blaine for " emi
nent prudence and sagacity."
A ceniiEi'OKDENT of the Oxford
Press, writing te that paper about the
election of apublle school superintendent
in Chester county, says:
The present incumbent. Professer
Harvey, has tilled the otllce for several
years, and, se far hs I am informed, has
performed Ills duty In a fair and satlsfac satlsfac
lery maimer, aud I have nothing te say
against him; but he has had thoIlen'M
share of elllce, aud the time has new
ceme for him te Htepdewn and out. The
next tMmj te be done is te leek out for a
geed mau te succeed him.
This is u sample of much of the ar
gument invoked in n contest for this
place. The iueuuibent, who has dls
charged his duty in "a fair aud aatlsfae -tery
manner" must be get rid of first;
"the next thing" is te find a worthy suc
cessor. Wouldn't it be well te held en
te the satisfactory efllcial until after the

Within sixty days the New Yerk Jlct
aid was Industriously engaged In warn
ing the Democrats of the Heuse against
voting millions of naval appropriation
for vessels of very doubtful pattern and
cruisers, of which the plan of construe
tleu has been severely criticised by einl
ticnt naval experts both here and abroad
Referring te the history of our expend!
tures for a navy the Herald said the
truth In brief :
"The country Iu these yearsf the years el
Robeson and Chaudler voted e tumuli te
equip aud luaiutalua splendid uavy equal
te nil the uuvul needs of the nation ; but
its goncresity wm abused and the luoney
wen frittered away, with nothing te show
for the oxpendlttiro. Is it nuy wonder
then that less llberal appropriations be be be
oame the rule ?
"Ifsueh a dltgraecful recerd Is te be
repeated it Is just us well te remnin lmisei
without a navy. The vessela under eon
struotien nre estimated te cost about
!I.GCO,000, nud the larger number of ves
scls authorized by the lull which rceeutly
passed the Senate- entails a much larger
oxpeuse mere thiti $5,000,000. Hut it is
still a tnatter for doubt whether the
3,500,000 will have been wisely expinded.
Where, then, is the wisdom el puttu.
$5,000,000 mero at risk ?"
The Heuse, under the lead of Mr.
Randall, shows a disposition te heed
these warnings of a bitter experience ;
whereupon the lleruld Hies into a pas
sion and assails Mr. Randall ami his
associates, as viciously as though it
were the hired agent of Jehn Reach and
the partner of Bill Chandler. Remem
bering the story of Admiral Perter, as te
the millions spent upon the navy for no
return, the people will cenclude that
Mr. Randall is right iu withholding
lavish appropriations from the thieves
who spend it one year for new ships te
be sold as old iron the next. The way te
get a navy is the same as the way te
oilier reforms llrst, "turn the rascals
out."
The I'rcss, the Xtw Km, Chairman
Cooper ami oilier mere or less hopeful
Blaine supporters in this State will
doubtless find everything te comfort
them in the spectacle presented yester
day of Virginia being hauded ever by
Mahone te Arthur, of Massachusetts
turning up for Edmunds, of Blame's
snubbing iu Connecticut, aud of the tit
ter discomfiture of Warner Miller and
ex Governer Cernell, in their plan te
sweep the New Yerk convention for the
tattooed man. But te most practica1
and disinterested observers of the aitu.i
tleu it Is very plain that Mr. B'.aine is
new beaten.

that while his eiiemies of the Blaine

of the Arthur faction were likewise

Ths bill of the Maxim electric light ojm ejm

by the lamp oemraltteo at its meeting yed
terday. J. M. CLHIea, olerk of the com cem com
miltce, reported that after a carclul
examination of the morning reports of the
pelice he found that during the month the
uggrogate number of hours the lamps did
net burn (calculation oluven hours per
night for caeh of the 120 lamps)
was 0,021 hours, which would equal SIB
lamps for the month, or nearly 18 each
night. As c.-uh light costs nearly U9j cents
per n lit, the proper deduction te be
made from tlie oempany'H bill would
be $210. 13. This id the largest
deduotleu yet made, and is owing
in great measure te the outite stepping el
the oleetrio works after the great snow
