LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
TIE FoRTY.sECoNp-sT. DEPOT.

TO the EdttOr Of The Tribune.
SIR The building of this depot over por-
ton of the Fourtave. has been thought by to be
an infringement the public rights; but ii seems to me
that az il will not obstruct travel the avenue, and will
give passengers an opportunity 10 pass from their ear
raCes or streecars into the depot in stormy weather
without exposure, the arrangement will be perfectly
proper. This avenue built wide in order that i
might be of the great arteries Of traffic aud this
detoi and the railway, when il shall be built 0vel
instead under the avenue between Thirty second and
orysecondsts, will only help TO carry out the original
intention. JONATHAN LAWRENCE.

ADVERTISERS should bear in mind
that the EUening ledger has by tar
the largest circulation of any paper
in the city, and that it will yield the
largest and quickest returns. 1t
reaches hundreds of families who see
no other paper, and, besides, an even
ing paper is always better read than
morning paper. In proportion to cir
culation, our advertising rates are
from seventy-fiv to one hundred per

Ledger.
The Ledger may be correct in claim
ing the largest circulation in New Al
baDy. But it is unquestionably wrong
in its statement that an evening paper
is better read than morning papers.
Were that so, evening papers would
invariably have the largest circula-
ton. It is well known that in but
extremely few cities have evening pa
pers a circulation that is at all to be
compared with that obtained by the
morning papers. The leading and
most influential journals of the coun-
try have always been, and doubtless
will continue to be. issued in the
morning. For light, gossipy reading,
to flavor ones toast and tea, evening
papers are generally very acceptable;
but for the more important and stir
ring affairs of life. business men and
people generally consult the leading
morning JOURNALS.

THE Courier urges the German and
other foreign born residents to make
haste and secure their naturalization
papers. because the Radicals were
seeking to pass law disfranchising
them. The Courier is so slow in get
ting hold of items of news, out of
which it thinks party capital may be
made, that generally facts come to
light lust in time to upset its theories.
Thus It was with it's article on the
supposititious massacre of the Jews in
Roumania. just as its editorial APP
peared denouncing the administration
for not being more energetic in call
ing for redress of the outrage, it turns
out that the whole story was stupid
joke, perpstrated by some malicious
student. So with reference to its ar
ticIe on naturalization. The very
day it was written the papers of the
country contained the announcement
of the fact that the Naturaliza-
ton bill had been defeated in
the House by over forty majority.
The bill had been reported by the Ju-
dietary Committee after careful prepa-
ration. It proposed to make radical
changesin the whole naturalization
system, placing it within the control
of United States Courts instead of the
State Courts, and requiring a three
years residence of any foreigner before
he could even make application for
citizenship. After that it was pro-
vided tLat he should be kept on pro-
baton for six months before the
Court decided on it. There were 9TH
er objectional features, which were
denounced in a long debate from both
sides Of the House, after which the
bill was tabled.
So the Courier's capital became
worthless before it vas dealt out to
the readers Of that paper.

THE Clevelander lovers of Base
Ball expect to have joyous time to-
day and tomorrow in witnessing two
games between the Forest City Club of
Cleveland aud the Forest City Club
of Rockford, Illinois. The clubs are
very evenly matched, and the results
of the games sufficiently involved in
doubt to give zest to the struggle.
We anticipate that the Suckers will
prove too much for the Buckeyes.
On Tuesday the Red Stockings Of
Cincinnati and the Atlantics OF
Brooklyn, measure strength. That
game will, of.course, attract thousands
and money in quantity will be apt to
change hands over the result.
