The Balch will case, which for years
has attracted attention here. has been
finally decided. Mr.. Balch was married
twice and had two sets of children. Mrs.
Jackson was the only one left Of the sec

the first set, comprising Steve Balch,
Mrs. Reynolds and others scattered over
the United States.
Mr.. Balch died in 1897, and about a
year and a half later his widow, the

the Controllers Office, to acquire an honorable
reputation by so doing, and to retire at the end
of his term to private life with increased ca
pacty for the private business in which he was
trained and improved prospects of success
therein.
This is n rational and laudable ambition
Nevertheless, il must be acknowledged that the
Governorshp of New York is a great office, and
it may fairly be presumed TO hold out peculiar
attractions to a young man who would have
right to feel that a nomination would be a strik
ing tribute to personal qualities Of the highest
excellence. But on the other hand Mr Coier
does not lack the sagacity to perceive that nom
inatiOn and election are two widely different
things and to realize that Controller who had
completed his work according to the Coler pat
tern would be more interesting and important
figure in private life than one who had tried in
vain to step up from place he filed to a place
in which he was not wanted.
The Controller has doubtless noticed in re-
cent issue of his home paper, THE Brooklyn
Eagle" suggestive statement OF the OPINION
that he can best afford TO stand for the present
on the announcement that he has already made,
and let the results of the Kansas City Conven-
ton decide whether or not that announcement
should be revised: for "Kansas City may and
probably will cruelty handicap the next Demo
cratic candidate for Governor, whereupon the
Controller will consult his best interests should
he continue to declare that he is quite satisfied
with what he has" This advice is entirely un-
selfish. but we are not sure that 1t is equally
sound In the first place, whereas it may have
been comparatively easy to make a mild dis
claimer answer all practical purposes in April,
ii will require an immense amount of nerve TO
stand pat" during May, June and part of
July. In the second place. it is al least doubtful
if the Controller would consider such degree
of calculation consistent with the disinterested
purposes which he proclaims and from
public confidence in which the estimate of his
availability is largely derived
There is another consideration which may not
improbably influence Mr.. COlers conduct. At
bills which he earnestly advocated, and which
largely increased his power and prestige, We're
made laws by the Republican majority and the
Republican Governor because it believed
that so long At least he remained Controller
they would prove advantageous to the city. If,
as il is not unnatural 10 assume. he gave as
surances of his determination to retain his pres
ent office and use his enlarged authority solely
for the promotion of the general welfare he
would probably shrink either before after
the Kansas City Convention. from adopting a
different course and applying his newly acquired
importance 10 the service of a new ambition.
New-York tribune., 1900-05-01
THE SENATE'S NEUTRALITY.

The refusal of the Senate by decisive vote
10 consider the resolution expressive Of sympa-
thy with the Beers in the present war is
to be commended. That may he said with
out regard TO the question Of American sympa-
thy with either Boer BritOn. The refusal to
consider the resolution was not declaration of
lack of sympathy with the Beers. 1t may be
that some of those who voted against considera-
ton do actually sympathiZe with them. The
vote is properly to be interpreted as a recogni-
tion of the improperly of the Senates commit
ting Itself to one side or the other in any such
matter. It is in that view of 1t that it is TO be
commended.
For the position of the Senate Of the United
States In such matters is different from that
of Board of Aldermen, or a State Legis-
lature. or even the House of Representatives.
The Senate is more than Legislative body. 1t
is invested by the Constitution with certain i'm
portant diplomatic functions. And these impose
upon it In the strongest way the duty Of neu-
trality: unless, indeed the Nation is prepared TO
take sides with one of the belligerents an
ally. There are their way hither some
Roer agents, seeking TO persuade the United
States Government TO mediate in behalf Of
peace. There Is little reason, Of course to sup
pose that they will succeed. But cannot their
friends see that just such resolution as that
would, if adopted. be the most certain bar
against their success? If the treaty making
power of the United States or an essential part
of 1t, should commit itself TO one side or the
other in a quarrel, there would be no hope Of
the other sides accepting this country an
impartial mediator. Indeed. il ought not thus
TO be accepted, for il would have disqualified
itself.
That is the fact which seems too often to be
overlooked by jealous propagandists both in
and out of the Senate. The Senate of the
United States is not purely domestic body. 1t
is part of the Foreign Office. Its utterances
form part Of our foreign policy, and are prop
erly to be taken account Of by foreign Powers.
The improperly of the Presidents or the Secre-
tary of States declaring sympathy with and
adherence TO one side or the other in quarrel
between two foreign States would instantly be
recognized by all. II would be tantamount to
suspending neutrality and becoming an ally of
one of the belligerents Well, the same is to be
said of the Senate's action. The same obliga-
ton of neutrality rests upon il. In declining to
violate that neutrality the Senate has vindicated
its wisdom

FRANCHISE TAX PROSPECTS.

The State Board of Tax Commissioners has
made large reductions in its preliminary esti-
mate of franchise values in this city. Yester-
day it made public its final figures for twelve
large transportation, gas and electric companies
In this city, showing reduction OF little over
S40,0O0,000 from the tentative values previously
announced. The final values on these twelve
corporations, however, amount TO S219. .6S9. .351
a comfortable to add to the taxable prop
erty of the city.
Some complaints will probably be INDUCED In
by demagogues over the reduction, but there is
no reason to suppose 1t is not just and reason
able. The final assessments are too large and
too ungrateful 10 the corporations TO be fairly
regarded any concession to them. The ear
lier estimates We're founded on such information
the Commissioners could procure, and 1t was
everywhere expected that they would be largely
reduced. A reduction of less than 20 per cent
after hearing from the corporate and consid-
ering all tner CLAIMS is highly creditable TO the
work of the Commissioners in the first place
The figures as given out do not show with abso-
lutte clearness whether not the tangible prop
erty in streets already taxed is included in the
values as fixed; but assuming that II is the
income Of this city from these twelve corpora
tions will he increased by more than So. 900 900
Naturally the franchise holders have not
taken kindly 10 the idea of relieving the indi-
yidual taxpayers to that extent and are dis
posed 10 fight the law. They will get little
credit. however. from the first round of the legal
battle. Justice Kenefick of the Supreme Court
IN Buffalo yesterday declared the Franchise
Tax law constitutional, dismissed the com
plants of several corporations concerning as
sessments aggregaring S13,0o0.0OO and dissolved
the temporary injunctons obtained by the Erie
and New-York Central Railroad companies and
the Cataract Power and Conduit Company re-
siraining the assessors from assessing their
franchises. This case will of course lie carried
up and the Court of Appeals will have to pass

THE INDIAN FAMINE.

Calls upon American charity are innumerable,
but none of them for that reason to be ig-
nored More than once in recent years the call
of famine stricken India has been heard; never,
perhaps, more urgently than at the present
time. 1t comes at this moment opportunely,
when the thoughts of the religious and phil
anthrOpic public are so strongly fixed upon the
theme of service to foreign lands. Grain and
the Gospel will go together well in India, or
rather money and the Gospel since 1t is said
that money is in the present emergency more to
the purpose than provisions.
1t is we'll that certain facts were emphatica
brought out at the Carnegie Hall meeting on
Sunday, upon unimpeachable authority. There
has been tendency in some quarters to charge
the Indian famine to England's account. 1t has
been many times, indeed, openly declared that
the famine due to Englands rapacity and
oppression, and that England ought to care for
her own victims. But we were reminded on
Sunday, by impartial and most competent au-
thorities that such is not the case, but that, on
the contrary, the British Government is doing
and has been doing all in its power to prevent
famines and to mitigate their evils The facts
that under British rule the population of India
has more than doubled, that taxation has been
reduced from 30 or 60 to only 3 to per cent
and that millions of acres of land have been
made productive by irrigation An ample
vindicatiOn of the British Government in that
matter.
Drouth and overcrowded population are the
evils. They are to be overcome only by ex
tending the irrigation system and by teaching
the people a higher type of thrift and provi-
dence. Those works are being performed on
scale probably unprecedented in human history.
But in the mean time there are periodical sea-
sons of distress, beyond the power of the Gov
ernment to avert. In such cases the call is to
the whole world, and this part of the world at
least will not be slow nor grudging in its
