Among the measutes whlcli will
come up at Albany foi consldeiatlon
rite soernl of wldespte.id Inleicst
Chief of thoc, In imiioitance, Is the
Ci cater New Yoik chattel bill, u bill
to establish a basis of government foi
u new municipal empire which hah been
iteeted by the bringing togethot of
New Yoik cltv Biooklvn and the piin
clpal othei populous centeis within a
ladius of 50 miles. Upon this iiucstlon
of n propel chaitor for what will be the
pecond oi tlilttl lntgest eitv In the w oild
the ablest minds ot both hemisphetes
hae been foi some time at woik and
It temalns to be seen how falily and
thoicniRhly the lcntslntuie will utilize
theli suggestion'!.
The -ccoml subject in tank of Inteiest
w 111 undoubtedly be the Haines bill, to
Which a Hood of amendments is tlueat
eneil. It is undetstood that only tlnee
modiflcitions have the nppionl of
Thomas C Piatt, the te.il nuthoi of the
oilglnal law. One aims to dispose of
the numctous fake hotels which hae
Bpiung into existence since the law
went Into effect, the second gives in
creased povvei to the enf oiclng uuthotl
tlcs and makes heaIor the penalties,
and the thlid endeiois to teach the
llciuot-dt Inking clubs The debates
upon these amendments and the leg
islatute's goneial ttcatmont of the
diinkptoblem ought to be lntetestlng.
Some new legislation against tiusts
Is among the possibilities, but fiom
what Is known of the dominating Inllu
ences at Albany It Is liaidlj to be ex
pected that ladlcal measuies will pio
vail The senatoiial pioblem seems to
be settled upon the basis that Mr. Piatt
can succeed JIi. Hill If he wants to or
delegate that honoi to anothet, who
will not be Mi. Choate. It is the gen
eral opinion, notwithstanding Mi
Piatt's tecent statement of qualified
denial, that he will be the nest sona
tot himself But his attitude nt Saia
toga last summei teaches that he may
possibly mean to keep 'out of olllce In
person. Thu one weak pot in Mi.
Piatt's lecoul ns a politician, consld
tied fiom the standpoint of politicians,
Is his fear of submitting a candidacy
of his own to the people As has been
said befoie, he lacks Senatoi Quaj's
coinage at critical times ' But a sena
toi ship of coutse Is dlffeient.
At least one- thing may be said in fa
vor of o-c-QucM n Illly ot Hawaii. Sho

The Passing of fir. Brynn
The Spilngfleld Union thus tevlows
the closing scenes of the cnieer of
William Jennings Hi) an, who Is pass
ing into ohscuilty almost as lapidly as
lie came into piomlnence-
"It te(iulied almost a week for Will
iam Jennings Bt)an to admit that he
had been defeated for the piesldenc) .
He coupled that admission with a
statement that he had consecrated
himself anew to the cause of fice sll
vei and that In the coming four )eais
ho would be active In the Inteiest of
the gieat cause. Within a few dajs
theroaftoi Mi. ilijan signed a contract
fot fifty lectutos at one thousand dol
lais each It looked then ns If pios
petlty would come to him and thcie
wore fears that he might develop Into
n plutocrat. Naturally there was some
sad icllectlon at the evil Influence a de
slio for money had on the people's nd
ocato, but the blow was hot no with
patience
Mr, Bi)nn's consecration to the lcc
tuio field nngeted some of his suppott
ets, who wanted him to talk foi noth
ing, and there v.eio oniu ciiticlsms of
his grasping tendencies Finally the
time came for Mi. Bi)nn to give his
flrt leetuto. He selected Atlantn,
whole his friends woie numeious. Ho
had a good audience and evet) thing
lequired foi a successful lectuie, but
tho ahlllt) to dellvei It Hven his best
friends In Geotgla leluctantly admit
that his lecture was not up to his lepu
tutlon and he hlni'-elf felt that lectin -ing
was not his foite. As a lesult he
decided to leetuto no mote, nnd tho
newspapets of Gcoigla criticised nun,
with some seveilt). It was a sad busi
ness, but Mi. Bt)iin was undone by thu
teputntlon fot eloquent o which the
speech that nominated him nnd given
him He could not live up to It.
In the midst of this disappointment
comes the announcement that already
schemes are being laid to prevent his
rcnomlnatlon. Silver loaders aie not
altogether satisfied with him. They
fool that had he been more amenable
to discipline dutlng the late canvass ho
would have had a better chance for
election. Dev oted though these silver
leaders may be to tho silver cause, they
want a man to lead them who will not
bo so self-willed. Consequently tho
path to the next nomination Is ob
structed, Tho most recently anno-unced
candidate for the nomination In 11)00 Is
Aithur Puo Gorman, of Mar) land,
whose conversion to silver follow 6d tho
Chicago convention. The plan of
some of tlo silver leadcis Is to nomi
nate Mr. (Jormnli and to shelve Mi.
lltjiui, It may succeed, and jet It Is
n long way until 1000, but dm man
would bo n eiy weak candidate, Mean
while Mr. Bryan will devote himself
to Ills new book, dicnm of the future
and tiy to tocoer gtound lost. He will
piobably bo unable to do so for the
people nio beginning to foi got him al
ready. Well may ho eluugc them with
fickleness."
