[L S] By the Governor: WILLIAM M. Griffith FRANK S. BLACK Private Secretary MESSAGE URGING PROVISION AGAINST THE CONTINGENCY OF WAR STATE OF NEW YORK To the LEGISLATURE: Executive Chamber Albany, March 31, 1898 Events are now transpiring of so grave and general import, that the attention of every enlightened people is fixed upon our own. The crisis which our National Government now meets, involves those deep considerations which affect the future of the race. To aid that Government by approval and support, to sustain its hand when raised for justice and fair play, is the duty of every State. No hour has ever been so full of peril that New York has faltered while it passed. Because of her past history and her present greatness, she should be the first to understand the meaning of to-day. After long reflec tion, and with an earnest desire to do that which ought to be done, and to refrain from that which ought not to be done, I recommend that before you adjourn, you take such action as your wisdom shall decide upon, to provide against such urgent needs as the future may disclose. I hope the day is still remote which shall consume the means you set apart. But if the time should come when forbearance and National self-respect can no longer stay together, there can be but one answer to the duty thus arising. I believe you will, not in haste or anger toward any other people, but in the deliberate purpose to defend your own, and as a sign of hope to the struggling and distressed, realizing that patriotism without preparation is as fragile as a dream, so act that the enlightened sentiment of the world will justify you.
