Why have never even met Mr.. Tilden. I
met Gov. Hendricks ut Saratoga during the
presidential campaign. and he told me that
Mr. Tilten expressed desire to meet me, but
he has never been introduced to me; besides
never would marry man SO much older
than myself" The reporter then ventured
upon o delieate question. He gently intimated
a desire to know whether Miss Hazeltine was
still In maiden meditation fancy free.
II am not engaged to any one" replied the
charming belle, with naivette and @ slight

Enigrant PassenSe ~.

There is some exaggeration in the style
in which the story is told OF the deaths OF
five passengers on the steamer Rotterdam.
They We're Storage passengers, and the
five consisted Of one old man and four
babies. For the old and the very young
who are also very poor life is hard enough
on shore but when the discomforts Of
sea voyage in bad weather and the poor
diet OF tho steerage are added the case
is aggravated SO that this number of deaths
need surprise no one. The old man was
racked to death with sen sickness. The
four musings were practically starved, for
their seasick mothers could not feed them
in the natural way, and the steerage larder
is not supplied with delicacies fit for baby
stomachs Of the tenderest age. But it is
disclosed by this event that ships loaded
with emigrants are sent to sea without ply
sicians, and it is alleged that the law does
not require that there should be a physician
on such ships. If this is true the law
should be changed.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1878-05-01

version of any part of it to other uses than
those for which it is pledged is at least O
novel proposition. The sinking fund has
been in excess of the demands upon it for
many years, but nobody saw any reason for
making different disposal of the surplus,
because its continued accumulation would
ultimately go toward the liquidation of the
whole city debt The proposed conversion
OF q part fit to immediate purposes is
a makeshift to meet an emergency, and
makeshifts are seldom wise as measures of
finance. If tho city bonds fell due in uni
form amounts each year, and if the ASSESS
ment bonds had not become source OF
embarrassment, nobody would have thought
of proposing to utilize any part of the
sinking fund for immediate purposes be-
cause there happens to be surplus 1t is
contrary TO the nature of sinking fund to
employ any part Of it to relieve current tax
alton. It would not help the credit Of any
government to use it's sinking fund for its
current expenses. But the Governor takes
an exaggerated view of this feature of the
bill in his anxiety to make out a strong case
aBhluSC IL.
There is little force in the Governors OBJ
lection that the bill does not require city
loans to be offered to general competition.
There is no such provision in any law OF
the United States relating to the disposal OF
the federal loans, and it is the experience
Of all countries that such details are best
left to the discretion Of the chief officer OF
finance In recent years the government
has found that it can make more satisfactory
terms with q syndicate of responsible
bankers than with the public at large. OF
course the bankers make profit, and they
are entitled to reasonable compensation
for their skill and influence and for the
trouble and bother Of which they relieve the
government.
1t is no good reason for exulting in this
veto that it is rebuff to John Kelly, nor
will it be good reason for refusing to pass
bill modelled on the suggestions Of the
Governor that it would give an advantage to
his faction. The taxpayers of the city are
entitled to relief, and they care little for the
difference between the rival planr. But
there is too much reason to fear that their
burdens will remain to be topic Of invec-
tive and recrimination between the rival
factions.

Rapid Transit an Accomp lished Fact.


The success that attended the trial trip
on the Gilbert Elevated Railroad yesterday
gives us the assurance that at last Now
York has received the long desired boon of
rapid transit, and that problem which has
given rise to the widest agitation and dis
cussion is now practically solved. In the
Gilbert Elevated Railroad, with its stout
columns and spanning girders its smooth
and we'll laid tracks its well built and
powerful locomotives, and its COM
modious, comfortable and handsome,
not to say luxurious, passenger cars,
we have rapid transit an accomplished fact.
This is indeed. a matter for general con-
graduation and rejoicing, and VIC do not
wonder that the starting of the first passen-
ger train from the southern terminus of
the line at the Battery to the Central Park
created the enthusiasm described in our re-
port published elsewhere. SO Ear as a gem
.eral inspection of the construction and
equipment of the road could answer the
purpose il shows that the directors of the
Gilbert Elevated Railroad have thus far car
ricd out their repeated promises to the pub
lie in highly creditablc manner, both as to
the matter of safety and comfort Of their
passengers. The train runs smoothly over
the track without sway or jar and, with the
exception of the slight friction of the wheel
Aangcs on tho curves, which will soon
cease, there was no noise or rattle that
