be far reaching and almost epochal in Its I'M

which have been before our own nationai gov

is more delicate and embarrassing, seeing tnat
the colonies enjoy a much larger measure or
self government than do our states, ana that
the ties which unite the colonies with the whole

"RTGTD ECONOMY."

The Mayor in his message assures US that
despite rigid economy the budget increased in
a year about S13.OO0.O00. and. while he does
not extend that assurance 10 the city debt. we
feel sure that the jump of nearly S70000o00
in the bonded obligations occurred also despite
the same rigid economy We have now city
debt Of about S700OO00O0. which would make
q very respectable national debt for a fair
sized nation. and unlike most national debts
this monster that hangs over the city contin-
ually grows. Nations endeavor 10 reduce their
debts. and in tine Of peace generally make con
siderable progress in that direction. But the
city debt Increases with each passing year.
The assessors annually add something TO the
assessed value of the property within the
city-all the traffic viii bear-and there is an
immediate rush by the constituted authorities
70 get out ali the additional bonds that the in
creased assessments make possible, always, Of
course observing the 'mcst rigid econoIuy."
IL is the fashion 10 talk Of the cost of armies
and nayies Of the everlasting preparation for
war in time of peace. but. bless you. an army
and navy are cheap compared TO whatever it is
the city spends its money on with such rigid
economy" II the rigid economies" of the

at least anything more than a temporary eX-

couraging-though the statement may seem like
a deplorable confession bitter Indictment

not settled down into an apathetic and fatais-

That seemed TO be the attitude of the managers
of the State Asylum for the Insane at Trenton

A METAPHOR WITH A HISTORY.

From The Manchester Guardian.
To know a hawk from hernShdw'' is a meta
phor with a curious history II is a comparison
drawn from falConry. ''HernShaw'' is a corruption
of "heronshaw," young heron. a bird which
a common prey of the falcons. To know a hawk
from hernshaw is therefore 10 be able to dstin-
guish the falcon from its prey. A further col
lcquial corruption crept into the phrase-''to know
a hawk from a handsaw. a form used by Hamlet
in place Possibly the distinction between a
hawk and hernshaw found not be stron.

AGAIN THE EIGHTH REGIMENT.

The rehabilitation of the Sth Regiment by
order of Governor Hughes on the recommends
ton of General Roe has been officially an
nounced, to the great satisfaction OF many
officers But no measure less severe than dis
bandment could have brought about change
for the better Veterans who had known the
Sth in its days of harmony and prosperity, and
who were proud Of their connection with the
oldest regiment in the state service, felt the
blow keenly but no one blamed the general Oh
fcers for taking the steps which brought to an
end the discipline destroying era of dispute.
The order reducing the command to a battal-
ion. with Major Elmore Harrington Austin in
command went into effect on December TO- 1906
AnticiDating the change. The Tribune two weeks
before that date recalled the fact that a similar
condition had existed some years before in the
Goth Regiment. when General George Moore
Smith, then lieutenant colonel of the 1th Regl-
ment was placed at the head of the ive-com
pany battalion. We said:
In a comparatively short time the Irish organ
ization regained it's regimental standing, and
Austin will be as successful with the Sth as his
chief was with the 69th and that it will not be
long before the Official Register will bear again
the roster of the Sth Regiment.
The predictions have been verified, and an
additional advantage will probably result from
the drastic measures of a year ago. 1t has been
proposed to change the restored regiment from
infantry to heavy artillery. There is heavy
artillery regiment in Brooklyn, but that arm
of the service is not represented in Manhattan
although there can be no doubt as to the neces-
sity for these troops if the organized militia IS
really to become the first reserve to the regular
establishment. The tour of duty which the Sth
performed last season at Fort TOtten showed
that the men were well qualified for the work.
They went to camp with the regulars, so per
cert strong. won the respect of officers and men
by their soldiery conduct and intelligent work.
and were further rewarded by praise from
Colonel Whistler, the regular army officer in
command With the mischief making element
eliminated there seems to BE- a bright future for
the new regiment and we congratulate the state
on Its restoration.
