New York, Sept. 30. —N0 man in poiiti
eal life in New York state is an object of
SO much interest just as present as ex-
United States Senator Warner Miller. He
Is an unknown quantity in politics at the
moment, and, in fact, baa been so since he
fell outside the breastworks in the last and
greatest political fight of his life. It is not
improbable that he will be a candidate for
the seat in the Senate now occupied by Mr.
Everts, and it would not be surprising if
his chief opponent should be ex-Senator
Tom Platt, his bitterest enemy. His friends
say that he is preparing for a great struggle
i with Platt, and the air will soon be thick
! with fur, for it will be a battle to the
death.
* Mr. Miller has been the victim of boesisra
n politics so long that ho feels deeply on
, the subject, and his views are positive. We
were talking, the other day, abouc the trend
j-of political matters. Mr. Miller was in a
chatty mood.
' ‘‘You ask me,” he sai l, repeating my
"if I have noticed any change in
our political conditions. Yes, I have.
* Probably one of toe most marked features
of the political conditions of to-day is Ibe
- contempt in which modern legislative bodies
f are now held as compared with tho respect
' ful consideration they received at the begin
aemg of the present ceatury. All attempts
\ e-tablish liberty, or the free lom of th
'beople in the form of government,
began with the attempt to overthrow the
power of the single man and to establish in
his place a legislature or rspre-entativo
body, which was to govern iu the name of
the people, and be responsible to them. One
of the principal demands made by the rev
olutionary fathers, before the great strug
gle took place, was tnat there should be r.o
taxation without representation. At the
beginning of our government here, and
for years afterward, both in national a id
state branches, the very highest and best
talent in the country sought to serve the
public by accepting a plac- in a legislative
body. In fact, they were considered posi
tions of the highest honor in the Republic."
"How long has such a change been going
onF’
"For the past twenty-fire years there has
been a great change going on, which has
been, pernapa, imperceptible, and in many
instances altogether unnoticed by the greet
masses of the people. The firs, of our state
constitutions were established for the pur
l>os* of limiting the powers vested iu exec
utive officers, and at the same time increase
those of the legislature. Of late in the
various states many changes have bean
made in their constitutions, and thev have
even gone so far as to limit the powers of
the legislature itself, and to increase the
powers of the state executive officers, and
munidpaloffi ers. Asar. instance, witness the
state of New York, which has frequently
amended its constitution, diminishing or
abridging the powers of the legislature. It
has taken away the power of the legisla
ture to such an extent that it cau no longer
grant speolal charters and can now make
only general laws. Another very marked
instance is the change in the state constitu
tion which gives to the governor the power
to veto separate items iu an appropriation
bill, and thereby making it impossible for
the governor to select aly item from the
bill and veto it without vetoing the entire
bill. ”
"Why ware these changes made?”
“These changes in the constitution have
been made by the people because of the lack
of confidence in the legislative bodies to do
their work properly and honestly, and,
without doubt, this state of affairs'is true
to a greater or less extent of all legislative
bodies in the world. It applies with more
or less force not only to the congress of tho
United States, hut to the English parlia
ment, the Herman Reichstag, the French
Chamber of Deputies and the Span
ish Cortes. When the legislature of
the state adjourns, or when oon
gross has finished its labors and the
members have left Washington for their
homes, the people feel a deep sense of relief,
and new impetus is given to speculation and
commercial enterprises of all kinds all over
theoountry. The newspapers facetiously
say that the reason for this is because, con
gress having adjourned, no more harm can
come from i hat quarter, and consequently
people are more inclined to risk their money
in ventures which, while congress was
in session, might have been im
paired by rd verse legislation. At
the same time there is a great
deal of truth in tho statement so often made
by the press, for many important lnteres s
look upon the legislatures as threatening
bodies, with the po \er of doing a g: oat
(lea! of harm during the session. Con
sequently, when they do adjourn no further
injury can be expected fr in that source.”
“Would you mind giving some of the
causes?"
“The reasons for these changes lu respect
to legislative bodies, which have been going
on for a quarter of a century or more, are
very many, and I shall not attempt to men
tion them all, but simply refer to a few of
the principal causes.
“It is undoubtedly true that all human
institutions, political and social, tend to
decadence. A system new to-day may be
very effective in preserving the rights of
the people, in advancing their interests and
securing to them all the blessings of good
government, still that svstem, after a term
of years, is very likely to bo perverted, and
even changed in such a way ns to no longer
produce the good effects which it did at
first.
“One of the chief causes of the lack of
oonfldence that the people feel for legisla
tive bodies now has grown up since the
organisation of gr eat commercial institu
tions, chiefly railroad corporations. The
corruption of our modern legislatures began
soon after the organization of great rail
road corporations in the various parts of
the world. These vast and powerful com
binations of capital, the railroads, required
much special legislation in order to obtain
their rights and to enable them to
carry on their great enterprises success
fully. Instead of relying upon the
common law and the statutes already ex
isting governing the control of property
and the rights or individuals, they sought
special grants or charters, and at once the
system sprung up of the lobby. They used
it for the passing pf whatever measures
tpey wished to go through, and, of course,
the corporations U6ed the moans which were
the easiest to secure the safe and rapid
passage of their bills. They began 1 y
usiDg money and purchasing vote* in the
legislature for the purpose of controlling
legislation. Legislators were found every
where who undertook to recompense or
at the expense of the big
corporiWms for the expense of their elec
tion and the cost of maintaining themselves
as legislators by accepting bribes.”
“Do you think legislators os a rule are
venal I"
“No, I do not, but many men who would
not consent to take a bribe from a private
individual for a private matter would not
hesitate for an instant about accepting
money from a corporation, simply for the
reason that it was a corporation. Great
rival internets found it necesssary, as they
thought, to spend vast sums of money to
secure wbat they held were their own
rights, or to prevent their rivals from so
curing any rights at all whioh were calcu
lated to injure them. Enormous sums of
> money were used in this way for debauch
lnK the various legislative bodies.
"After the great corporations were es
tablished and put in operation by special
it did not take souse men long to
discover that they could do a thriving and
very profitable l.uonets by preparing and
introducing bills inimical to raiiroai
corporate intereeta These were called
‘striking' bilis, ami were designed to s rike
certain rights already granted t > a railroad,
or to introduce new legislation calculated to
embarrass the corporation or injure ig The
result of the ‘striking' process was that the
corporations, in order to protect ttoir
own interests and those of the stock
holders, and very often the interests
of the people as well, have prevented
the passage of such laws by deliberately
buying up the men who were engage 1 in
pressing the striking legislation. It is
largely due to these reasons that t e legis
lxture* of the oountry have lost so much of
the resp-ort and confidence of the people. It
does not follow that because oertain legis
latures have men among its members en
gage! in corrupt practices,’ that ail, or even
a majority of tb^ legislative bodies are
corrupt, tint the.e are enough of them,
whose appalli g guilt is so shamefully ap
parent, as to bring J scredit upon the sys
tem.”
“Do you think the legislators are solely to
blame ?' ’
"The legislators themselves are not the
only people to blame for the passage of cor
rupt measures. It has freqiuntly happe led
that political managers have been able to
use the par j f r tbs passage of very bad
and dlshenest bills by maxing them party
measures and making tbs honest men in the
party vote for them because they were
labelled with the stamp of the party. It is
also true ti.at only a very small
portion of the money paid by
corporations to secure the passage of
bills in which they were interested
has ever reached the legislators themselves,
but has been retained by the middle parties,
or 1 bbyists, who, by shrewd and adroit
management, control" the passage of laws
without using much of the money put into
their hands for accomplishing the purp sc.
The result has been to cast great discredit
upon the legislature and to bring about
such changes in the laws as I have already
referred to by restricting the power of leg
islators.
"Another cause for the degeneracy of
our legislative bodies will be found in" the
fact that demagogy has, to a certain extent,
controlled the legislature in many of the
states and much of the legislatio i in c in
gress during the past fow years. Many
pernicious laws have been passed simply
because some pretentious organization,
representing suras special interest has de
manded it. The fact is that most of the
people ostensibly represented by them knew
nothing about them at all. They
consist of a few men who get together and
agree among themselves that they repret it
a large class of people, and that this legisla
tion or that must be had. M&uy legisla
tures have freq eutly given way to the
claims of these demagogues, and parsed
dangerous aid bad laws. There are
many Illustrations of this in the
legislature of the state of New York.
Ouiy a year ago the legislature passed
a bill making the wages of men em
ployed on state work #3 per day, without
reference to whether they were worth it or
not, or what labor in any community was
valued at. It passed the legislature, was
signed by the g ivernor and became a law.
This year it was repealed because every one
was satisfied that is was never of any use,
and that there was never any popu
lar demand for such a law. Many
instances of this kind could he mentioned.
When the people see ttiat legislative bodies
are carried away by motives of this kind
they naturally lose respect for them.”
"Whatshould the people do to correct
these evils?"
* ‘The sources of all power in modern gov
ernments oome frem the people, and must
be expressed through their legislative
bodies. The changes in the future should
not be in the direction of further limiting
the powers of the legislative body upon the
theory that they may do harm to tho body
politic. I believe that the changes made in
that direction in the past have proved to
have been worse than the evils which thoy
were expected to cure.
"Another instance is the general railroad
aot, which was the necosslrv result of lim
iting the power of the legislature for grant
ing special charters. We see parallel lines
built in every direction, which not only do
no good to the people, because they do not
reduce the cost of transportation, but rather
increase it, and the final result is that the
weaker company is absorbed by the stronger
corporation. Then tho people are com
pelled to pay such rates as will enable the
company to make a fair rate of interest
upon the entire investment. It would have
been much wiser for tho state to have pre
vented the building of these unnecessary
lines.”
“What about the veto power?”
“While the governor is exercising the
power to veto separate items in appropria
tion bills, it may soem to save money to the
state for the time being, but I do not be
lieve that any lasting good has come to the
body politic bv giving the governor that
power. It has resulted in degrading
the legislature iu the eyes of the peo
pl*. and the law could be used bv any
governor who would consent to do it for
tue purpose of trading, aud to make the
legislature pass any bills that the governor
is interested in seeing put thruugh by
threatening to veto certain items in the bill
unless the legislator representing the inter
ested district supports the governor's meas
ures. ”
“Then you think our legislative bodies
are deteriorating i"
"A careful review of the history of our
fmblic men will sustain the views that
emulative bodies to-day do not retain the
confidence and esteem of the people to such
a degree as they dijl in tfio early part of the
century, and that many more corrupt men
sucesed iu securing places in our logwtatlvo
bodies than in the early days of the re
public. The largo cities of the country have
contributed, as a rtlle. a much larger por
tion of corrupt men in our legislative halls
than the small towns and villages, iu largo
cities, where the interests of the people are
concentrated, it has long been the rule
to elect men who, instead of represent
ing and protecting the municipality sending
them, have usually preyed upon it. Of
course many honest mon have represented
New York city in the legislature and do to
day, but it is only neoeasary to go ovor the
political history of the past twenty-five
years to prove the truth of my assertion.
The oorrupt dealings of some of these men
have become notorious, and have brought
disgrace upon that bodv. Those have been
seen aud acknowledged by many leading
men on both side*, wno have taken cart iu
the politics of the state of New York.
“Many remedies have been suggested to
cure this cancerous sore on the body politic,
and a few of them have been tried. The
present salary of members of the assembly
was raised from SBOO, which was wbat the
memtjers received when I was first elected,
to $1,500. This was brought about because
it was believed that by paying a salary
whirh would enable a member to live de
cently in Albany during the session a batter
claßs of men would consent to take the po
sition, aud thsrebv legislation would be im
proved. I think that the result at first was
good, but I would not sav that it has been
effective continuously in giving us a better
class of legislators than we had before.”
"Hasn’t New York a model legislature,
senator?”
He looked grieved somewhat, and said:
"So far as our own state is concerned, I
am decidedly of the opiniou that great im
provement could be made iu tho assembly
iu the state of New York by doubling the
number ef members iu both branches. Tho
House would Men have 343 members aud
the Senate 04. This would make the body
so large that corporation or other interests
that undertook to secure passage of meas
ure* by inapr -per means would fail, bsoause
the number of members would b • too lirge
to be handled successfully. The New
Euglaud legislatures are very largo, num
bering from 300 to 300 members and very
few scandal* have ever occurred. Their
system of electing a member from each
town has prevailed and has resulted in giv
ing control of the body to the members
from ibe oountry districts as against the
large otto*. My judgment is that the chief
reason why legislators in New Bug
land maintain to high a character
THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1890-TWELVE PAGES.
• MEDICAL.
Is due to their large numbers
and the fact that corporations cannot afford
to undertake to carry their measures
through by the use of money. No doubt
some scandals have occurred in the New
England s ates, but they are nothing com
pared with other states where the number
of legislators in the assembly is much
smnller.”
"What keeps ooascienti jus men out of the
legislature? ’
"One of the causes which has been very
efficient in keeping ind-pendent and con
scientious mon out of our legislative bodies
is our present machine methods. Measures
of all kinds have been forced through
state legislature; and congress by calling
them party measures and cracking the
party whip and telling bouest men to vote
for them when there are no politics in the
measure at all, but simply business bills
for corrupt purposes. " I believe in
the old method of holding members
to party accountability for t. eir votes on
purely political questions and allowing them
absolute freedom of action ou all other
matters coming before the legislature. I
believe that many men would have taken
these positions who would have done honor
and credit to the state and party, but who
have been kept out by a knowledge of the
fact that they would be called upon to vote
for many measure which they could not ap
prove.”
"Is there not a demand for reform?”
“Undoubtedly there is a pre-sing demand
for reform in legislative methods, and re
form in everything that pertain* to govern
ment by legislation. I hare no doubt at all
that it wi 1 come in the very near future.
While the people are very williDg to
give great powers to g ivernors, to
rnnyors of cities and to all executive
officers, still it remains true that the source;
of power must be found in the people, and
that caa only be given expression thr nigh
their repreientatives in leg.s'ative bodies.
Therefore, while the tendency may have
been downward for the last half of the cea
tury wo can rest as;ured that we shall soon
reach the bottom on the down grade and
begin to go up ag;in.
"The press cun be of great help in this
matter; perhaps more than any other
powe~. The press is often unjust in its
criticism upon members of the legislature,
and too often makes the mistake of con
founding honest men with those who are
eon rolled by the amount of money that
can bo found in a bill. It is a very com
mon thing for the newspapers of one
party to oondemn every measure
that is passed or attempted to be
passed by the opposing party, and to
attribute the worst possible motives
to everyone supporting it. The press can
not be too careful, or scrutinize too closely
the characters of these mon, and should
never make an attack upon a man in a
legislative position without being entirely
9ure of it* ground. I believe there is at
present a very strong sentiment among the
people that they are not. as a rule, profierly
represented, and that their representatives
should more completely and thoroughly
carry out the views of their constituents in
tlieir acts as legislators and representatives.
It is because of this general belief that we
see organizations like the farmer’s alliance,
and oven labor organizations coming into
politics and attempting to elect their own
mon to the legislature. If they lad tieen
properly represented by the me - ; whom
they send they would in all probability leave
politics alone. Certainly the posi
tion of the representative of the
people ought to be the most important
in the oountry, and the honor of holding
such a position ought to be the highest that
could be conferred upon anyone. If the
people will only insist upon boing properly
represented, and see to it that only men who
represeut their wishes are allowed to re
main, and the pres; tie just and fearless in
its criticisms, I think that in a very few
years we will see a gyeat change in the
legislatures of the various statei, and one
that will bo for the benefit of all.”
