We were very much alonc last fall in

course, we do not takc into accounl the
opinion of thc army itaelf or of seattered

Tho Chamberlain bill, bi passed, n

fighl made against that plan by tiV pa-4
ifists, thi National Guard interests ar.d
the advocatea generally of sham prepared

have undoubtedly a greater value than thc
National Guard, whether the latter be"fed

to utilizing thc state troopi aa ? aecond or

always musl be, a purely aupplementary
body. Thc llay bill'a COntMent rcliance on
the Guard to do the work of a first line

anti-preparednesa workera. They know
thal the army which Mr. Hay ha.- in viorw
would be bul a slight improvement on our

bul nearly all the exeess cost would go into

rhe Chamberlain bill is sound in essen

Still Time to Help New York.
Though the Legislature ii preparing to
wind up it<- affairt for this year. it i
nol too late for il to granl justicc to New
Vork City. Tho action of a conference
of Republican legislators in deciding nol
to give to thia city its due share of thc
increased i nci e taa. indicates n dcter
mination to withhold from the metroooli
any granl of state funds, regardlesi of the
facl thal upatate communitiea ha". t
acci ? to the sta'c Treaanry.
What Senator Brown's legislativi
mittee recommended payment to thi? rity
of it.- part of tho increased liquor ta\
payment of thc cost of regulative work by
the Public Service Conrmission, payment
of the cost of riormal t-chooh here. and
payment to the city of a part of the auto
mobile license foses collected here is scant
justice. It. would merely put New Vork
on a level with the te>t of the state in those
matters. Bul thc rc<t of the stat.c has the
majority of the legislators. It carea i "4k.
? thal New Vork < ity already paya
much more than half the taxc.- of the state
I'pstato would be entirely willing to have
New York City pay all thc taxes, and
would then merely fjo more joyously to thc
work of devising ways to obtain public
for local aml political use up
itati.
Therefore, ? the Republican 'aw
.nakeri realize at this late momei !
it ter foi ishness, the political imbeci.itj i
ling the taxpayera o4" this city now,
tl ;i national electioti coming, New Yorl

hai pointed OUl that when thc "pork" for
l tate di itricti and the job for tl ?
included in the appropriation billa
?.... paid :"t ihere will bc nothing lef<
New York. It ii nol to be expected tha:
considerationa of ju tice and deeency will
move the lawmakers who are handling the
appropriation4' they never have herctO*
fore. Bul it might be well for them. asl
politicians, to remember that they car.r.ot
afford to lose many votes thi- year, and
there irei way of alienating thou
on thou ands than to rcf\^i u. g .??
the relief which this city ii entitled to,

began my acquaintance with The New Voii
Tribune. I have never known a year Bee

or at my own home
I 'hai! greatly rejrret tO iee i! r^plac. 1
by any other Journal af i'i class.
I ean not, however. accept ita lead when it
folloa a leader who ia rrrrtdful only of his
own advancement, I have leamed that a
man ?ho will betray hia eountry, h:.. party
friendi once will do it or. any occa
