VOLUME OB...,...cccesessseer cree soesenseessseNO, 18,026, AN IMPENDING DISASTER. _ The startling news is printed in a morning journal that the greatness New York is imperiled, Whether Hoboken, Philadelphia ‘or Boston fhall in the near future be the metropolis of North America is not clearly “iwevealed. But New York is doomed, © This port, “‘the gateway of the commerce of the country,” 1s to be ‘Aocked and sealed, Our enormous national bank capital is to be removed. The Clearing-House will become the abode of bats and owls. Rich men will no longer flock to New York to spend thelr “pile” or Increase It, ‘ Country bankers will withdraw their deposits and stock orders, ” Merchants of other cities will throng our marts no more, combining Pc pleasure with business in “seeing the town” by night and replenishing et stocks of goods by day. i Grass {s to grow in the streets so lately occupled by the compost heaps of a negligent cleaning department, and Subway and elevated erushes will end for lack of victims. 4 And all because—what does the reader think? Because the Legislature is considering a bill to impose a tax of TWO ; on every $100 share of stock sold in the big gambling shop in Wall street! Who would have thought that the greatness and the pros- iperity of New York hang on such a slender thread ? PRISON FOR THESE MISCREANTS! * Inthe matter of the shocking evil which Is being worked among little schoolgirls of the east side, prosecution and swift and terrifying punish- ‘ment is the imperative duty of the moment. | "Theorles about free lunches to thwart temptation and about what mothers should tell their children can wait, Under the law round térms—amounting under cumulative sen- ito life imprisonment—can be dealt out to wretches convicted of g the little ones. A few sharp examples of that “railroading”, process ch sometimes comes to the ald of New York justice will check the trouble. Then may be set at work other influences to prevent recurrence, If necessary let Raines laws, Sunday ball games and gambling raids : while the police hunt down these destroyers of innocence, Fee teres can be trusted to follow promptly with his part of ‘work of executing justice upon these most devilish of miscreants.
