This adds another to the grov at-sight of the gun. The Lighting Trust tvas disinclined to stir until the city began to} plan in earnest for a lighting plant of its own.

The New York Central coon held out for twenty years.in the | matter of its Eleventh avenue death tracks, but it had to come down at last. The Telephone Trust has made a start. It has already conceded a few) crumbs toits patrons. The alternative is now offered it by the Board of Es-| _ timate of acquiring the four franchises asked for by independent telephone companies on terms very advantageous to the public or of admitting com-| ppeting companies to share its rich spoils. To keep out rival interests it) * must pay the city $2,930,000 for a twenty-five-year franchise, furnish a} _ free service for department offices and materially reduce the rates for Subscribers. ! It seems to be only necessary to know how to point the gun; and the city is fast learning the trick. The Pennsylvania ts even now peering nto the muzzle.

The city lost $750,000 by its rejection of the terms offered by the Cunard and Mercantile Marine Companies. Is not the lesson suffi- cient? In the case of the Hoboken ferry leases, which have been renewed | for ten years on the old terms, the Sinking Fund Commission has e denced no fear of undue liberality, though enormously increased traftic ‘as added greatly to the value of this franchise.
