PROTECT THE TENEMENTS. ‘When the State Tenement-Houss Commission city the Buffalo members, horrified at their discoveries, maid that they had reached the conclusion that “New York should be abolished.” what needed to be done. conditions that existed.

There were over 8,000 deaths from tuber- culosis in a year and 20,000 new cases of the disease, eaused chiefly by the lack of light and ventilation in ‘these miérobe-breeding dungeons, ‘The reformers did not abolish New Yerk, or even ite ‘tenement districts.

This is as good a time as any for the two mill- fon tenement-iwellers of New York to serve notice on their representatives that any man who tries to force them back into the slimy pit from which the new law is lifting them may as well bid farewell to politics. eee. RAPID-TRANSIT FINANCE. Tt is sald, as if it were a cause for general exulta- tion, that the next subway extension may be built by the _ “Metropolitan or the Belmont syndicate without the uso “of the city’s credit. The idea conveyed is that it a corporation builds a ¢unnel with its own money the public will be that much ahead. The truth {s that the city would gain nothing by such an arrangement, except the mere temporary conventlence of avoiding a collision with the debt limit. Any tunnel built under the present law must be paid for by the passengers who use it and turned over to the city at the end of the contract perlod—say fifty years. If the city government advances the money for construction the advances must be refunded out of the earnings at the rate of 1 per cent. a year. If the con- tractors use their own money they keep the earnings themselves. It amounts to the same thing either way. But note this: exempt from taxalion, and it saves twice as much through that eremption as 4 has to pay for construction. In other words, the city could better afford to build its tunnel with its own money and give the use of {t to the cor- poration free, retaining the right of taxation, than to repeat the Belmont contract or allow the Metropolitan to build with private capital under the rule of exemp- tion. Under the Franchise Tax law a road holding its privileges by an ordinary franchise 16 under the control » of the public through the power of taxation. The Elsberg ‘Dill restores that power to the public in its dealings whh future extensions of the rapid-transit system. In either case the tunnel company is Amother Laugh.—''Say that the Postmaster-General just Jaughed,” remarked Mr. Payne when he was asked what he thought of the charges of corruption in his depart- ment. But probably he did not Jaugh half as hard then as he did yesterday when he opened the President's let- ~ter giving him the credit for the whole exposure. CARBOLIC ACID AS A BEVERAGE. _..
