THE BROAD STREET MERCHANTS 10.


WHILE earnestly advocating tho nror,,,, -o
mOval of the tracks from Broad stree, so ~ 20
open that thoroughfare for Improvement u-o
have not lost sight of the business intoros,s =,
the merchants who have been establiebod ,horo
for SO many yenrs. No great public imnrovc-
ment such rs Is contemplated by the removal of
the tracks from Broad street, can be accom-
plisbed without inconvenience to somebody. and
the public benefit must therefore alwavs be con-
sidered before that Of individuals
The extensive trade which had its heodcn,r
ters on Broad street is of great Importance to
the city of Philadelphia, and it is perfectly,
proper that the city should do all in Its power tn
accommodate the merchants and to assist then,
in establishing new business centre.
The ordinance introduced yesterday in scloct
Council by Mr.. Franciscus appears to be wclI
considered, and rs satisfactory in its provision.
as could be desired.
The ordinance designates as thorouphfares
upon which tracks may be laid and t,rnouts
constructed-Wa ashingtOn avenue, Twenty-tbird
street, Lehigh avenue, Swanson street from
Washington avenue to South street, and Penn
street from South to Pine street.
The conditions upon which these tracks and
turnouts may be laid are, that each person, be-
fore constructing turnout, shall pay to the
Chief Commissioner of Highways the sum of
800 rs license to construct, and shall annually
pay a fee of $50 as license to use, the said turn
out. Upon compliance with these conditions.
the Mayor is authorized to execute an agree
ment permitting the use of the turnout until the
year 1900, and guaranteeing that the city will
not remove the tracks before that year.
These provisions give the merchants an assu-
rance that they will not again be disturbed for
the next thirty years which is rs long time as
could reasonably be asked, and it leaves the city
free to commence any improvements that may
appear to be necessary at the commencement of
the next century.
The ordinance WAS referred to the Committee
on Railroads, and we hope that Ii will receive
careful as well as speedy attention, and that
either it or something similar will be acted upon
without delay by Councils.

THE OBSTRUCTION OF BROAD STREET

THE OBSTRUCTION OF BROAD STREET.
A NUMBER of merchants doing business on
Broad street, who have ebeeninconveniencedb by the
removal of the tracks by order of Councils, have
published q statement, addressed to THE Citi-
zens of Philadelphia, in which they endeaVor to
exculpate themselves from the charge OF bad
faith and to fix the Odium on Councils, the press,
and all who have been actively engaged in adj
yocating the immediate removal Of the tracks.
The document in question is rather incoherent,
and the arguments advanced will not deceive
any one acquainted with the real merits OF the
case. Three years ago notice was given by the
city of its intention OF resuming the
control over it's own highway. The
law which was passed by the Legislature pro-
yided that compensation should be made to all
persons having rights privileges, etc, before the
removal Of the tracks The gentlemen who now

AGRIcULTURR was recognized by the late
Legislature as the true basis of nations pros
perlty. Therefore all efforts to get up the bill
driving the FARMERS" from Second street, which
were made in the House yesterday, resulted in
signal failures

LEGAL ABsTRUsITIBs were found TO crafty the
vanity OF the late Legislature and therefore
both houses, while the throes OF death were
already upon them, passed bill ito permit
writs of esrepement to issue after writs of error
taken in real actions" The Rule in Shelley's
Case, however, was quite beyond legislative COM
prehension, and 80 it was wisely let alone

OBscENIrY cannot be included among the
shortcomings of the late Legislature-at least
the encouragement of it on the part of enter
prising newspapers. Both houses just before
expiring held up their hands in holy horror at
the wickedness of obscene advertisements, and
declared their publication an offense against the
peace and order of the Commonwealth.

HASTE has been considered one of the most
prominent attributes of the members of the late
Legislature. In the last hours of their official
career, however, the Philadelphia delegation
entered their solemn protest against this soft
impeachment, by insisting that every bill in
volving the interests of our citizens should be
read at length before it was put upon its passage

OFPENBAcHs lively strain, ~ aio,e les mill
toires," was fayorite with the late Legislature
in its last hours. The bill reducing the militia
tax to fifty cents was cut and slashed in both
houses, until there was nothing left of it, and
the title was then passed by way of a first-elass
Joke, equal to McKinstry's hest

such standard articles of consumption by the

the part of members TO burden them with taxa

to abandon their little scheme - ..

UsunY is a sin which the late Legislature could
not bring itself to encourage Therefore, when
an effort was made in the House yesterday to
reconsider the vote by which the bill legalizing
the charging of Z per cent. interest by special
contract was defeated, our dcfunct lawmakers
made no opposition, in order that they might
have another opportunity to rebukc the money
lenders.

SLUsH, it would seem, is aphase of filth which
was uncongenial TO the late Legislature. Be-
cause of this uncongeniality, bill was passed by
both houses prohibiting the sailing Of the pas
senger railway tracks in this city. We imagine
that the people Of Philadelphia will accept this
small boon from our defunct lawmakers with
heartfelt thanks

MILK was distasteful to the members of the late
Legislature, except in its undiluted form. To
this circumstance we are indebted for the pas
sage yesterday by both houses of an act autho-
rizing the different cities and boroughs of the
State to provide for the inspection of the lactea
fluid In consequence of this action, the Fair
mount Water-works will be of ample capacity
for supplying the city for century or SO to
come.

The TribMne'S Washington dispatches
SAYS: The cause of General LOngstreet
being nominated as surveyor of the
port at New Orleans, was under con-
sideratiOu to-day by the Senate Com
merce Committee. 1t is understood
that a majority of the Committee were
oppOsed to his confirmation, not espe-
ciaIly because General Longstreet was
a leading rebel during the rebellion,
but on the ground that there are an
abundance OF men who were loyal TO
the government from the brcaking out
of the rebellion to the close, and who
ought TO he provided for in preference
to the class to which General Long
street belongs. The Committee, how
ever, decided to report his name to the
Senate without recommendation, and
that that body take such action AS they
may think proper.
The Times dispatch says that the
now public dsbt statement will show
the precise condition OF the Treasury
books at the close OF business on the
3lst iust., instead OF being withheld for
several days as formerly, to await the
returns from New York and other i'm
portant points. This is radical
change.
