AYTI-T4uv4YY PLEDGES.

The voters Of this county have a first rate
opportunity for expressing their continued dis
approval of Tammany by voting against its
candidates for the Supreme Court. II that cor
rupt organization is ever TO be broken mp 1t
must be as the result Of series OF successive
defeats. 1t was crippled last year, but still
lives in hopes of returning to power. and If il
can elect its county ticket this fall il will be
strengthened and enabled to hold its position
as the representative of the Democratic party
| In this city That is what honest Democrats
| have for years been seeking 10 prevent They
want TO starve out Tammany and build up
an honest Democratic organization here, but
they never can be successful so long as Tam
many with only an occasional defeat can con-
troll the city and dispense Offices. Everybody
who does not wish 10 see Tammany again
made supreme not only in the city government
but in the Democratic party Of the State
should therefore. vote against it's candidates,
whether he believes in fusion or not
For justices of the Supreme Court Tammany
has nominated some gentlemen whose chief at
tractiveness TO the organization is believed 10
have been their fat pocketbooks or those of
their friends. Against them the Republicans
have nominated candidates who are at present
serving acceptably on the Supreme bench and
the Greater Aew-York Democracy has indOrsed
two Of them, while for the third place ii has
made separate nomination. not in any hope
Of winning an election, but for the sake of
having a candidate of its own and so perhaps
securing under the ballot law certain tactical
advantages for future contests. Justice Keener.
who is on both anuTammany tickets. is rated
as Republican, but he is in no sense a politi-
clan. He was for some years dean of
Columbia Law School, and commands the re-
spect Of lawyers regardless Of party. Justice
Steckler is anti-Tammany Democrat. and
he is also running on both tickets.
The Greater New-York Democracy being. as
stated, determined to have one candidate not on
other tickets. felt obliged to leave Justice Hall
of its list but he is equally entitled to indepep-
dent anti-I Iammany support. He Is 4 regular Re
publican but in Judicial matters anything but
partisan. Seven times he has arisen In Re
publican judicial conventions to propose tbe
nomination OF Democrats for judicial position
and certainly Democrats have no reason m
count his party proclyities in general politics
as a cause of offence in view of that record
Before his appointment TO the Supreme Court
be had high reputation as a referee, espe-
cially in bankruptcy proceedings, in which he
IS an expert In the last ten years he has been
appointed referee by request Of both parties
not as a matter of judicial patronage-oyer
Two hundred times and in only two cases Of
them all has he ever been reversed. All three
or these justices should be elected 10 succead
themselves, both for their own fitness and as a
blow ar Tammany

THE GOVERNOR AND THE CITY BLDGLI'
The welcome announcement was made yes
terday that the city budget for next year as
finally approved by the Board of Estimate IS
smaller 10y about $1.J00O00 than this year ;
budget, and that in consequence the tax rate
VIII be materially reduced. II is clearly eA-
plained however that the decrease Is due 10
reduction of nearly S4000.0O0 i'm the City's share
of the State tax. Ii appears. therefore, that tne
total expenditure for municipal purposes l. con
siderahly increased and hence the question
must arise whether or nc, the city is getting
fun value for all il spends The Controller
review of the figures asserts that such Is the
case at least far as the voluntary allow
ances of the Board of Estimate are concerned
and his statement viii not be lightly challenger
by fair minded citizens. II is undoubtedly dis
appoIutment that careful and honest admin
istration has not succeeded in reducing the COST
of government much below the sum which a
careless ana prohiGate administration expended.
With TOO little consideration of mandatory bills
of the distinction between requirements EN-
ciently supplied and requirements i'll supplied
al great waste and of the difficulty of bulld-
inc up conscientious and competent public
service from materials which under the law
could not be quickly supplanted. the voters who
turned ont 1ammany naturally looked for a
notable reduction Of expenses. That benent
they have not secured. but their greatest cause
for complaint has. nevertheless. been largely
removed 81 rs we confidently believe they are
ready 10 admit the business of the city is now
carried on In such a manner Is 10 produce
creditable return for an immense outlay.
While the budget may be a rather painful re
minder of the cost of mana ring this huge city
and Of hopes for economy through consolidation
which have been frustrated it is q decisive
tribute TO the care, the skill and the scrupulous
integrity with which State affairs have been
conducted by a Republican administration al
Albany The virtual abolition of state taxes
enables the city TO spend some additional mill
ions for necessary objects. while al the same
time its burdens are reduced. For that the
credit is chiefly due. and cordially given by
Mayor Low. TO Governor Odell, who is about
TO be reelected to the Office in which he has 50
wisely and faithfully served the people.

immediate coming of the millennium and the
reign of universal peace. But the most practl-
cal must recognize in such negotiations and
associations a breaking down Of racial lines
such as the world has not seen before. Since
Great Britain has made an offensive and de

and since Great Britain, France and Germany
have agreed 10 20 into court with Japan as
