SAVE THE SHORE ROAD.

The act OF the late Legislature at Albany deal
ing with the Brooklyn Shore Road is one which
every lover of good government must deplore
and which all properly interested in the great
work in question will look to Mayor Wurster to
kill. There is absolutely no need for any such
law as It would be- and there is in IT. n vast
potentially for mischief.
The Commission which has thus far been man
aging the Shore Road enterprise is an excellent
one 1t includes. as is just and proper. the chief
author and promoter Of the work. It's members
have been serving without remuneration They
are actuated only by high and unselfish public
spirit They are doing their work in thoroughly
admirable manner with no other aim than 10
make the Shore Road the greatest possible orna-
men to the city and the greatest possible blessing
10 the people.
1t is now proposed. by this Ubiquitous measure
TO turn them out and fill their places with others
That would be gross injustice to them, and it
would be something more and something worse
For it would he impossible to fill their places
with others more fit than they. 1t would be
easy to fill them with others less fit and con
splcuously unfit; and tina. this would be dom
the circumstances of the passage Of this bill
make probable There has been no popular or
official demand for a change. The whole scheme
has been worked up behind the scenes by par
ties who fear to let their Identity be known and
who have some Interior selfish and probably cor
rupt interests 10 be served. If it be successful II
will be made to serve those interests at the cost
of the public welfare. That is what the thing
is for.
The measure should promptly receive execu-
tive dsapproval and be killed. 1t is believed
the Mayor intends thus TO deal with 1t. The
public will be gratiied to have that belief con-
firmed and realized at the earliest possible mo-
ment One of the most splendid public works
ever undertaken, not only in Brooklyn but in the
whole of Greater NewYork. must not be tam
pered with and manipulated and corrupted for
the sake of enriching any ring of politicians or
CLIQUE of real estate spectators.

THE TRIBUNE FRESH AIR FUND.

The Tribune Fresh Air Fund enters upon an
other seasons work with balance of only $40 96
in cash. but with undiminished confidence in
the continued interest of its host Of friends
throughout the country 1t is our hope and de-
sire to make this, the twenty first year Of the
| Funds beneficent work. the greatest in its his
tory Never before was there SO much need of its
helpful ministratiOns. bringing health and happ!-
ness to so many children of the tenements; for
not only has the city of NewYork proper grown
largely during the last year, but a still greater
city of New-Yor: is now in contemplation, and
may soon become An accomplished fact So far
as The Tribune Fresh Air Fund IS concerned, 1t
stands ready 10 recognize the larger field Of labor
and responsibility that will come to it with the
creation of the new city. But it need hardly re-
mind its friends that they are co-laborers with
it in this work. and il it is to surpass its record
in the pas. it must ask for more contributions.
1t hopes also TO receive the support Of many adj
ditonal friends who have not heretofore seen
their way 10 contribute to 1t.
Although it will be some time yet before par
ties of children will be sent out to the country
for a two weeks outing, the preliminary work
Of preparation for the season has already begun
And even thus early it is desirable to have some
idea Of the measure Of support that the Fund Is
to receive this year. The scope and extent of The
work in fact are so entirely decided by the con-
tributions of our friends that can do little
until we hear from them And for that reason
we make this early appeal TO ali who desire to
help in the work to send in their contributions
at once With the money in the bank we can 90
ahead with our plans, knowing that they will
not fall through Without it we can only work In
faith. and though faith is an admirable thing in
It's way It will not pay the carfare of single
child. For. the Apostle says faith without
works is dead.
To the friends who have so generously carried
on this good work in past years II Is only neces-
sary TO state the needs Of the Fund: we rely
with entire confidence on their sympathy and
help in the future. But for the benefit OF others
it may be said that the Fund gives poor chill
during the summer. The money contributed TO
the Fund is used wholly for transportation The
expenses Of administering the Fund are not
taken out Of the contributions but are met in
other ways. And the farmers give the children
free board and lodging Every contributor,
therefore, can be absolutely sure that not cent
Of his contribution will be consumed in Office
expenses but that the whole CT 1t will be devoted
to the purpose for which It was given. There
are not many philanthroplc enterprises that are
more economically administered. and this fact
has done much TO retain for 1t the interest Of the
public. charity in which there IL absolutely
no waste or leakage is almost unique. When to
that 10 added the fact that The Tribune Fresh

and the supremacy Of law. IT Is the plain truth
that Mr. Cleveland and his friends might be In
better business.
A LTLL IN THE WAR.

After a week Of uncOmmonly hard fighting
there Is lull in the Greco-Turkish war. 1t az
fords opportunity for a brief review of what has
been done Both armies have fought with signal
valor. 1t was known the Turks would do So
They never have done otherwise, when well COM
manded. But Greek valor was an unknown
quantity. 1t had not been put to the test for
sixty years and more. To-day it is amply vnd-
Gated. Reveni Pass and Gritzovali are worthy
possessions of a race that inherlts memories or
Thermopyl,e and Marathon If they are beaten
they are beaten with all the honors Of heroic
war.
And they are beaten. for the time. 1t Is evil
dent that they fled from Larissa and its outposts
because they were not strong enough to hold
them The Turks had the advantage of position.
outnumbered them two to one. and We're far bet
ter armed. That tells the whole story. How
great the contrast in size between the belliger-
ents is may again well be recalled. In infantry
the regular army Of the Greeks numbered only
10000 at the outbreak Of the war; that OF the
Turks $4,000 In cavalry. which seems to have
played the most important part in the opera
tons of SATURDAY.. the Greeks lad three regi-
mens only of 1850 men. while the Turks had
more than $4,000 men. In artillery the Greeks
had 40 guns ana the turks loJo SIX 10 ohe'
twCnty-eght TO one and eleven TO one were
hopeless odds
The Greeks declare they will make another
stand at Pharsalos, and express some confidence
of defending that line more successfully than
that of Larissa. Perhaps. The position does not
seem to be as strong the one they have aban-
doned There Is no doubt, however. that they
will fight bravely there, and if beaten Will con-
tinue the struggle until the very end is reached.
Their feet may yet MAKE some diversion in their
favor. But there is little ground for hope that
the tide of war will actually be turned, except
by intervention from outside That is now talked
Of The great Powers are said to be considering
IT, They may well do so. Their concert has been
a failure. and worse, thus far If it will now
save Greece from Turkish aggression. 1t may in
a measure redeem itself in the eyes Of the world.
