Erseusiou Of the Cify Limits.

EDITORS APPEAL: If the extension of the
city boundaries win doubtless elicit active oppo-
sition, in connection with the other proposed
amendments Of the city charter, had the matter
better not be dropped, as it was thought to be
sometime ago, though now suddenly sprung
again! If there be any prospect of passing it
in the Legislature, the suburban people, tue par
ties interested and sought to be aggrieved and
faxed without any earthly benefit or advantage
in return, should get up circumstances and pro-
vide TO resist the unjust measure. When the
suburbs are " compelled to have city ~orgdniza-
tious;' the business being their own, they will
attend to it without any trouble on the part Of
others.
1t is to be remarked that the city limits are al
ready ample for a large city, ample for many
years to come, aud TOO much 50 now by far for
its finances. Get more territory in, and You
must buy streets, and keep mp roads and police;
OF, if you fail TO do this for the added parts. you
act in bad faith. The sparcitv Of population
now, and for many years yet, does and will JUS
tify neither, over suCEfa rGSt cIfeHt Of country as
is prOposed-fOur miles in length and over two
wide.
The fact is, this would not be done, and you
want the tax. | say there is bad morals in this.
Besides, i is not likely that the Legislature, if
It respect the wishes of the people, viii foist
upon them, without their consent, any such
condition. The suburbans sought the country
for the sake Of the country, as the citizens Of
the city sought the city for the sake Of it. 1t
was not wicked TO do either. The suburban, if
he does business in the city, as a business man,
complies with all the laws and regulations re-
quired Of him as such, as much as the resident
within, and contributes corr~espOndingly as much
to the growth and reputation OF the city. It is
a humbng idea that the city gives all the value
to the country, and the country none to the city.
If the advantages to each other from each are
not mutual and equal, then, the case rightly
considered, it is the country that benefits the
city, and not the reverse, if there be a difference.
Without the country, the city is nothing; with
out the city, the country is still something.
God made the country, aud keeps it; man the
city, and, IL may be, God has not much 10 do
with 1t. Every acre Of ground outside the city,
if it comes to its very limits, whether used for
vegetables, fruits, or for other purposes, is 10 and
for the benefit of the city-coutTibutes to its
comfort, its support, its advancement. If the
city paws money in the market, the country
gives full consideration for the money it gets.
and is only paid for its labor and the value Of

its property OF goods. In fact, the advantage is
MANI, IN enc side.
Vowed as you please, il is the country, near
as well as distant, any where within the clrcum-
ferepcc of its trade with the city that builds mp
the city, ,chiie the city IS 1rhghg depcHdcat on Il,
and there is no particular line where this re-
mark IS limited. The truth is, a corporate con-
dition is only required by any country, suburban
or more distant, when the numbers and contact
of the people clustering together demand it; and,
when that is so, the people interested viii feel
the necessity and viii attend to the matter
themselves, and, moreover, others win not likely
interfere for them, unless they suspect some adj
vantage in doing so. Nineteen-tweutieths of the
country sought TO be taken in, needs no city or
ganiZstion, asks for none, and is generally d.
vided into large lots, sometimes farms, and is
satisfied with the general police laws of the
State. Request oar city fathers to defer theiI
kindness for the present, and assure them that
the country contributes its pittance for all the
purposes Of government, besides supporting the
city and giving it trade and building it up,
Giving something for nothing is rather too mo
dost a business to be seriously or fairly insisted
upon. FAIR PLAY.
