we conceive IS whal the DuslheSs Ihtcres's
OF Wheeling demand; anu lhcy ought &c
be content with nothing less, We believe
the Importance Of the proposed switch IL
appreciated by the business men OF Tic
city, (Of whom "CililCn' Is not one) anl
whatever Affects that class Affects the III
terests Of Nll Others. If railroad facilities
md competition are necessary to the bus
mess prosperity Of this city, then they are
necessary for all classes OF citizens, II
business or OUT for cripple business ant
all suffer together, whereas when business
lourishes all cOrrespondingly prosper.
Allusion Is made by our correspondent
rs well as by the one to whom he Is re
plying, to the Structures Of the lNTEIlI
GENcER upon tho past policy OF the Balti
more & Ohio Company" but neither take
the trouble to mention the fact that tlloS
structures related entirely to their claim t
be exempt from State and county TAXA
ton. Under the charter Of the compaD
and the provisions OF the State Constllr
ton, we have felt constrained TO oppoS
that claim and we believe II has ut las
NJ to State taxation mt least, been pracl
cally abandoned. SO lar rs these alll

events the promise oil much greater !
far from wishing to sec that company ell
barrussed and cramped, we want to SC
them have every aid in carrying out the
designs which can be afforded withot
wrong to others. While We think :" Cit

Holidays Cove by Sneering NJ It as

any by denounCing the Baltimore & Obi
We should expect that the latter woul
not encourage the building of the otht
