service. while NewYork. with 100000. spends
S11.OOO,OOO For her S7.7OO.OOO a year London
enjoys the services Of 1851 men. while New
York for her S11 100000 gets only 1900. There
is pretty general conviction that the London
bobby" man for man. Is at least fully as ef-
fective as the New-York 'cop." If so. we must
set down London's police service as being far
more economical and. other things being equal,
better than that of NewYork.
Finally, to sum up the budgets. we find that
the total cost Of governing the 100000 of Lon
don is about SCI 900. 600 year, while the cost
of governing NETWORKS 35OO,O00 is about $780,
100000 a year. That is to say. the govern
ment Of London costs about S14 30 head.
and that of New-York costs $50 20 head.
Those who are familiar with conditions in the
two cities may decide for themselves whether
the government of New-York Is. as whole. y
ner cent better than that of London If 1t is. the
budget may be justified. If not. New-York is
paving too much for its Boss.

too. the duty on sugar seems sound proposal.
Whether it is to be regarded n step toward
a protective policy is open to question, with the
negative side somewhat emphasized by the fact
that no discrimination is to be made in favor OF
sugar from British colonies. 1t is questionable,
however whether justice would not be better
served by the imposition of lower duty upon
sugar and corresponding duty upon other arti-
cles which are still permitted to come in free.
Such a course would probably. we suppose,
SAVIOR too much of protection, or at least of the
breaking down of free trade. to be acceptable
to those who still, at least theoretically,
welded to the Manchester school of finance. So
the Budget will stand as it is. John Bull will be
staggered. But TO stagger is not to fall. He
will straighfen his broad back underneath the
burden and trudge sturdiy onward. For, after
all. his plight is not nearly bad it has been
on former occasions or as bad that of more
is. He will have to pay tremendous price for
the maintenance of his imperial integrity. But
he will pay 1t like man.

A GOOD ROADS PROPOSAL.

The proposal TO submit to the people the Ques-
ton of approprlating S5.O00,OO0 for good roads
will probably be withdrawn. 1t is said, not be-
cause a majority of the legislature opposes 4
large expenditure Of public money for that pur-
pose, but because the time is considered inop-
perfume. This proposition was originally made
n few days ago as means OF weakening the
canal improvement scheme. and the feeling at
Albany seems to be tina, nasmuch the latter
has been dropped the former cannot he appro-
priately pushed at this session. We do not adj
wise violation OF conscientious scruples but
unless there actually is principle Of good faith
involved do not see why the two projects
need to share the same fate.
When the Higbie- Armstrong act was passed
a few years ago the Importance of stimulating
local sentiment in favor OF road Improvement
was one Of the strong arguments in it's support
The act required the counties to take the initia-
tive, and made their expenditure the measure
and limit of the States assistance Thus the
whole or any part Of an appropriation made by
the legislature could be applied to the rebuilding
Of highways when the same amount had been
locally guaranteed. but not until then. and con-
scquently the exhaustion Of an appropriation
would mean that twice its amount had been
employed. This was an allurement to lberality
on the part of local communities. and its effect
has been precisely what was hoped for but
much greater than was commonly expected for
the demands Of the counties have run far ahead
OF the provision made by the legislature Under
these circumstances 1t is natural to assume that
the people would approve a fairly large bond
issue, and it would seem to be entirely proper to
let them deal with the matter. The appropria-
ton originally advocated iJr this year has been
cut down to $2O0.O0O, whereas the county uppli-
cations amount to more than 81 900 600 This
clearly means that the State as a corporation Is
far less progressive in respect to this important
interest than the individuals who compose it.
and it could not be considered rash or extrava-
CANT for the legislature, in obedience to so gen
eral sentiment, TO propose an Indebtedness of
SoOOOOOO 10 run fifteen years. equivalent with
interest, to about $4,000 year, for the sake
OF securing some fifteen hundred miles OF good
roads 1t should be remembered that the money
could be spent only In and In proportion as
the counties taxed themselves for the same pur-
pose. We should hope that II the bond issue
were authorized 1t would be spent as fast as it
became available and experience makes it prob
able not merely that this would be the result.
but that an urgent demand for additional an
propriations would follow
We believe, in a word. that the people are
ready to have done with the era of short and
feeble steps In road improvement, and would
welcome the chance to order beginning Of

Some Western communities have been per-
turbed because the paygoers of the gentle sex
still insist upon keeping their Gainsborough hats
upon their heads in the theatres and refuse to
remove them. In time the fair offenders will
yield amiably to the force of reason and to the
humble appeals of distracted men. whose chance
to anything on the stage is thus cut off
Several years ago there some controversy
and difference of opinion in Manhattan with
regard to this matter, but women ere long were
persuaded that they should give way to their
own generous impulses. and in the course OF the
amusement season now closing the removal OF
the high hats has been general. Let our West
ern friends be calm and patient. The women
themselves will adjust everything in the
most satisfactory manner.
