Pron=on, who Is the well known secretary of tho
Knl.kcrbocker Ciub and an all around rJubman. 1ms
held the offlee of president for many cyars and would be
tho unanlmous choice of the ciub as his own euc

It Is, A. \V. Farlec ls most talked about as tho probablo
nomlnee for the ofllee. Ho ls, so to speak, the "ad

rank as "wc.iithy men" in this city of mllllonalres, but
ncarly nll of them are surcessful lawyers, doctors or

TI.T1NG TO OIVE THE OOVERWOR MORE POWyR
OVER OFFICERS-FORMINO A HEAVT
BATTALION.
Experlence ln thls crty during the last year or two
has created a deslro on tho part of some one to glve
the Governor BBBBBB8 *b_ohite. p_we*< to discharge a
eoa_B?BB?ael ofllccr when ln bls dlscretion thte would
be for the best IntcresU ol the National Guard. Thla
deslro has made Itself evMeut ta a bill whlcb has been
introduced to the State Senate by Mr. Stewaai. AH
the sateguards placed around a commisbloned ofBcer's
tltle by tlie State Constitution are to be removed en?
tirely by thla proposed lcgfelatlon, II tho bill becomes a
law. Hereaftcr WBBB tlie communder-ln-clilcf wlshes to
6et r!d of an iiUccr 1? wljl not be under the ce
cosslty of dlsbanding the company or reglment which
tho ottlcer commaoda, and thas there wlil be baved Uie
troubl- and expenae Incldent to such a proceedlng.
At preaent the ConsUUition provides, ArUclo XI, See
Uon 5:
The comrnlsMoned otticera of Uie mllitia ahall be cominla
slon.d by Uio Uovernor; aud no commlssloned ottlcer ahall
ho removed from olllce unlcas by the beuate o:i the recom
mcndatlon of tho Governor, statlng the ground*. on whleh
such rcmox-al la reconimended, or by the declslon of a
court-marUal purauant to law. The present orilcera of
the mllitia. shall hold their commlaaiona subject to removai,
as tKfore provldod.
Thls secilon la quallfied by the next one as follows:
In caae tho mode of election and appotntment of mllitia
oftlcera heroby dlretted ahall not be lound conduclve to
the lmprovcmcnt of the mllitia, tho Leglslature may abol
Ish the aamo and provlUc by law for their apiolntment
and removai, If two-thlrd? of tho membera preaent ln each
house ahall cuncur ihereln.
Xhaaa piBTkleaa of the Coustllutlon have already
been (luiUlflcd io a considerablo extent by Legislatlvo
eii.u tment, and now lt la proposed to bru.sh them
awuy entirely. When thls Constitution xvas adopted it
xxas ovidontly tho Judgment of tbe people of tha
State tliat sufeguards should bc placed around the
offlccrs of the mllitia, so they would" hold their Im
portant officen by some strongcr tnrcad than tho men
?dlscretion" of one man. They also avMaally con
sldered the fact that casea might a'lso when a strlrt
conformanco to tlie Constitution might cmbarrass
the military authorlttes, and so tfce fundamental law
araa made more clastle. If lt should le found by cx
periance that lt was nccessary to amend the law by
bcglslatlvc enactment, the Constitution was left to a
eondition to alloxv thls course to be taken.
Adx-antage has been taken of thls privllege already
by an, act provldlng for a Board of Examinatlon. and
noxv lncrcased powcrs ara to bc glx-en to thls lloard.
At preaent thls Jtoard can oniy take eognlzance of
?ny fact xvhich "disables" a commi*aloned ofllcer from
pcrformlng military dutlcs. Tho new law, 11 lt be?
comes a law, provides that the Board can lnqulrc
whether the offlcer ls "dlsabled. unfit or tncom
petcnt, from nny cause whatever," to pcrform mili?
tary duty, and tho Board ls \o be the Judge of aueh
dlsablllty. unfltncss or lncompelcncy, except that Its
aeetatoa ls subject to the approval of tho Governor.
From the fact that no ofllccr will bc broiight before
tho Roard except by order of tho Governor, howexx-r,
the Board'a deeiafcaa wouli bc. practlcally. laaL This
result It is proposed to brins about by amendlng Sce
lions 47 and 48 of the Military Code, to read as fol?
lows :

IHE PRICE OFEGGS AXD THE TARIFF.
CANADIAN EGOS NOT TET I.AID SAID TO B3
PROIIIBITED UNDER THE NEW LAW.
The free -trade newspapers ate sceking to make;
eap'.tal out of the faet tliat owlng to an extrtiotdluurJt
falluig off ln tlio number of eggs slilnped from tbfl
West to tlils city wholesate prices of e;_gs are con
sldcrably bigber tban they were at tlils time la*
year. Of course the fa.ts are dlstortod and falseiy
io.istrued Into an attack on the McKlnley blll- "Tbflj
Tiincs" s,-,vs: -The wholcsale price of eg-;.s toward tl*
end of Matvh. 1*90, was about 11 oentB a d.?-:i_
but this year the price ls over 22 eeoti per _./,?..,
a difference of over I -0____. v. hi.h ln ti.e ntail hoatoefll
means a d'.fference of from 10 to IS _____ pe* dozen.
The article gocs on to say that no eggs come froirt
Cat.adlan or Ncwf-.undland sourecs this year "becaus*
the tiritt has been practlcally prohib.tory." The tar'S
on eggs under tho new .McKlnley Uw Ls 5 centa
a dozen. If they are 8 ccnts a dozen higher
now tban they were a year ago the Canadlan aud
Ncwfoundland dealers could not only ship thelr egge
and got b?ck the twrif! of 5 ccnts ln tlie lncrea,e<l
price, but 3 ccnts a dozen more than tliey recelved
last yoar. The eomniisslon men in this city can sen
nothing prolilbitory ln that sltuation and lioot al
the idea. Tlie fact that the Canadlan eggs are not
comlng to this country now ls not remarkable nor ia
it due to tlw tarlff. They never do begln to ship
Oanadlan eggs to this great coisuming market until
tho early days of sumtner, not because they " wouldn't
lf they could," but because tl.cy "couldn't if then
would.'' Thn Canadians havo not got tlie eggs ta
ship. and will not have, and never have had, egsfl
ln sufllcier.t quantlty to affect this markot until ihe
cold wcather Ls over and the snow has dlsappearod
from tho ground. Con?c<_uently as far aa tho taritt
ls concerned. it ls still a matter for the future t_
settle whether it will affect tho _upply of Cauadlat.
