There never has been a Constitution al Convention in this State where some delegates ■wore not in favor of depriving the Executive of this priv ilege. Indeed, for the first 45 years of the State’s existence, tho Governor had no veto pow'er, save ns a member of the Council, and there only a casting vote. The people had learned in rev olutionary times to fear Execuilves with much power, and it tvas not un til 1821 that this prejudice had so far subsided as to allow a clause in the State ConstitutiGn conferring upon tho Governor the right to interpose ins objection against the cuactiiient of any legislative measure. The principle has remained in the constitliliuii ever since and all effiorts to expunge it have been vain. It is firmly embedded in onr \ ly, indeed, that ■are occurence i'c ' ‘ . avail itself of U’ ,»rivilege widch it a! the bill Over the Governor’! a two-thirds vote of each House. In tho early days of the State the veto power vvas sparingly exorcised. But it has come to be employed very frequently. At least a quarter of the bills which pass the Legislature now are vetoed. Duiing the last 20 years Executive scrutiny of bills and inde pendence in action upon them has been steadily increasing. Governor Hoffman made for himself quite a rep utation for the number and vigor of his vetoes. During the first year of his administration ICO biUs encounter ed his disapproval. During tho second year 178 bills mot the same fate. But after Hoffman’s administration Exec utives lowered tho record which he had set. Governor Dix was less se vere. His vetoes averaged something over 50 a year. In Governor Tildcn’s three years he vetoed about 108 bills all told. Governor Robinson loft al most as good a record—103 iii throe ‘The electric car companies’ junperty ^ X n o ? ° C lev e la m r vo“ od bois should bear their-share of taxation, and ^be first year and 103 the second year their franchise pay a per cent, of their net ineomes to the cities and villages oounecting.

The statutes of the State furnish the, process to secure their transfer—the corporations getting f their output, lualified to bring about free bridges ought to be appoint ed by the several corporate cities and villages to take this matter into consider ation.

The New York dailytally Americaerica paysys the Am pa I following tribute to Senator Murphy: “To be assailed by the World is prii facie evidence of good American citizen ship. It follows that United States Senator Murphy enjoys the persistent enmity of the head of Mr. Pulitzer’s Academy of Crime. “Previous to his election to the Senate ' the World used every influence at its command to belittle and ollows il degrac J’ in scln In ‘working up his record’ in scholarship tatesmanship, many fad oiitioal al compelled to desist and let the work and statesmanship however, it encoun tered so many facts attesting tie and political attainments defamation wait. “It has returned'to the attack, how ever, and now deplores the obstinacy of the party in the State in refusing to take Mr. Cleveland's advice and send some body else to the Seqate. The, Adminis tration, it declares w6uld have been more stoutly supported had this oounsel been folio ived. “Nothing could be further from the truth. Senator Murphy has given the administration loyal and effective sup port. It is probable that if ho chose to unbosom himself Mr. Clovolaud would confess that he hact greatly underrated Senator Murphy’s statesmanlike quali- tiea At all events the wisest and most experienced members of the Senate were quick to extend to their new colleague that cordial recognition which is usually withheld for a long time, “The truth is, that without rely in upon noise or recourse to elaborate on tory, Mr. Murphy has proved himself the possessor of exceptional talents in the real work of the Senate, work that speaks for itself and needs no extrane ous advertisement. “Indeed, without prejudice to anybody in particular, it may safely be said that if there were several more Senators of Mr. Murphy’s ability and methods, the legislation of the country would be in better bands than it is now.\ his scholas- that it ME TET 0 vm m . the first year and 103 the second year Governor Hill left behind him a record of 946 vetoes in seven years. The year of the smallest number of his vetoes was his last in the executive ofllce, in which he scored a record of 70. The year of his greatest number was 1889, when there were 248 to his cred it—the highest on record In aUy one year. His average w'as 135 a year. Judging from the way Governor Flower is starting in he wiU distance all predecessors back to Hoffman’s time. He seems to be as proficient with his veto pen as he is with his lif s ss'ss .oiJ' j f s during the second year. This is an average of 157 a year—the highest av erage since .Tohn T. Hoffman wielded the Executive pen. As a matter of economy to tax-pay ers the Executive veto has been a very good thing. To show this, It Is only necessary to go back during tlu- last ten years and see what the Gov ernors’ vetoes of appropriations have saved tho State. Governor Cleveland vetoed appropriations amounting to S;SS? S I sa s year. Governor Hill, during his seven years in tho Executive Chamber, saved tho people about !?4,000,000 by vetoing appropriation bills. One year omists, however, to Governor Flower must be awarded the medal fur the highest average iu amount of vetoed appropriations. He has been Cover nor through two legislative sessions, and during tho first his vetoes eut off over $1,000,000 of appropriations, while during the one just closed they saved to the people directly $1,100,000, and indirectlj'—through tlie veto of claim bills-a half million dollar.s more, making over $3,000,000 for tw^o years’ work. Consideiing that tlie Governor’s salary is $10,000 a ye.ar, it will be seen that it is quite a protic- able thing for the State to have eco- uomleally disposed Executives. It is an easy thing to talk about economy in public expenses, but it is harder to practice it. One of the hardest things a Governor_ liasias toc do - .'ornor l t ippropiiatioji bills—they ually moan so much to those who are to he beaeflted by the State’s liberali ty. The number and variety of such demands in a state like New York are constantly increasing, and it takes a firm man to he able to say ‘No,” to the localities and interests who want the public money spent for their wel fare. Among the people generally tho economical trait in a public man i.s popular and well-appreciated because the results of his economy are shown In lower tax rates; but the particular localities or individuals whoso appro priation bills havo encountered the Exeeutive veto are Inclined to favor economy everywhere else In tho State except in their particular neighbor hood, and they sometimes take such tho Exeeutive several ways to veto bills. If the Legislature is in session. ivernor must a ton days from t: ; orr returnrn it to passage o retu it to the w'hich it originated, with a statement of his reasons' for disapproval. If ho neither does this nor signs the bill, it becomes n law anyway by the limita tion of the ten tlaj's’ period. After the Legislature adjourns, however, tho case is different. The Legislature usually loaves about four or five hun dred bills, wlilch the Governor must pass upon within thirty days. ■ Tho Constitution says that all bill.s whicli do not recoivo Executive approv.al within these thirty days shall fail to become laws. This makes n sort of a negatlv'C veto power. If the Governor does not wish to approve a bill, he merely withholds bis signature, Init he is not obliged to state his reasons for disapproval, as lie is when tho Legis lature is In session. >Somi> Governors, however, have filed memorandums with Z i w S ftey^couhf”mt approve, slating their reasons therefor, just as thi-y had returned objectionable bills to the Legislature during the session with veto messages, As a rule, however.

But with eveiy case of disapproval tho Gover nor filed a memorandum stating his reasons.

Have you ever h(?ard of the Jemlna- Idns? Ancl do you know how the town of Penn Yau was el^ristened? If not, it is worth while to listen to the story told by Representative War nor, of N om ' York. ‘‘Once upon a time,” ho said, ‘‘thero' lived in Connecticut a young woman named Jomina Wilkinson.

It Bures lusects to a Diet that Proves zarlolaris, wliieh is very abundant in some of the Southern States. Its most remarkable qualities are its power to secrete a fluid which attracts Insects, yet invariably proves fatal to them; the poison-like character of its leaf, when once the insects enter the fluid tube; the smoothnesssmoothness off thehe sides;es; and o t sid i 3 ease with which it digests its in sect diet. Its most striking part is the pitcher-like leaf, and next the style, which spreads out into the form of an nmbrella and envelopes the whole flower. As the plant Increases in size the sides open‘ to form a tube, and a round hood, in whieh one part of the lip of the stipule projects ov which Is below' It. Th( other, wl through It. rhich the Insects luch largerrger att thehe plant, is much la a t apex than -he base; is round and smooth, except a narrow' pit near the opening; and secretes a fluid at the upper and open part which Insects eagerly sip Having lasted it, they seem to become lost to .all feeling but to obtain more, and eagerly hasten into the tube, where sure death awaits them, it being Im possible for them to climb up the smooth sides of the leaf, even if they escaped. The fluid stands iu the bot tom of the tube, for, apparently, the special purpose of drowning and par tially digesting them. Insects usually begin tasting the nectar near the door,' or opening, then enter and feast on that in the Interior until they seem to become paralyzed, for they loosen their hold, tremble, and finally drop into the mass of fluid at the bottom of the tube. A few very cautious insects may try to escape after having entered the open portal, but that is rendered itn- possible by the hood, which conceals the outward passage, and prevents egress. The tube is too smooth to ren der walking along its sides possible. When the insects fall helplessly back into the fluid at the bottom of the tube they undergo maceration there, until they finally become mere pulp at the lowest part of the plant. Every part of them is dissolved, and apparently utilized, as nothing is ejected. That the fluid found in the plh' (Itcher plant la lecrpted by the fluid found in the _ rain water, but is seerpted' . plant itself, becomes evident by the fact that the opening being covered by a hood, no rain can enter the tube, but, aside from that, it is well known ................... intnt canan secreteei the fluid as that the pla c s readily In dry as in wi has been seen full, evei not fallen for weeks. weather, when rain Chodja had to appear before tho Khadi on some law business.
