The letters and interviews printed in THE
TRIBUNE of Sunday on the question of the
union of New-York and Brooklyn have at
tracted much attention and been much talked
Of This cannot be considered surprising in
view of the importance of the subject and the
eminence Of the citizens whose arguments
were given. Everyone wants to know pre-
cisely what Mayor Edison, John Kelly, ex-
Mayor Grace, William Dowd, Frederick 5.
Winston, d. Willis James, Orlando b. Potter,
Henry Ward Beecher, S. B. Chittenden, Gen.
eral Slocum and ex-Judse Tracy have to say
on such a topic. Orders for copies of the
Sunday issue of The TRIBUNE may still be
filed.
The action Of the company which runs
Fulton Ferry In lowering some Of its rates
is only what wasB expected but 1t will
be a matter of some surprise that the
directors have been so prompt. The travel
on the Bridge has not yet settled itself
90 that any one can estimate fairly what
its amount and general character will be. The
reduced ferry fare, however, Is one of the
wholesome results of the building of the
Bridge. The charges for vehicles have been
cut down about 20 per cent, but for foot pass
engcrs they remain the same as of old. The
directors probably are acting on this point
on the supposition that most people who
cannot afford to ride In the cars will preie-
TO cross the river sitting quietly in boat
rather than to walk mile across the Bridge In
heat or cold. These reductions will doubtless
add something to the popularity of the ferry !;
but the opening of the Bridge still makes it
certain that the Union Ferry Company direc-
tors hereafter will not have the trouble they

The New Assessment.

The action of the City Council last night
in rejecting the assessment, lately com
pIeted. of the property of the city anu
passing an ordinance increasing the as
sessment Of last year 20 per cent. as the
basis for next years taxes, viii occasion
surprise. The impression preValls lha'
while property generally Is assessed hucn
below its real value, there are great me
qualities that ought to be remedled' II
was exDected that the new assessment
would remedy these inequalities. IL
appears from the report OF the
Committee on Assessments. now
ever that the new assessment
is more Objectionable than the assessment
q last wear. In fact, they allege 1t to be
irregular. unequal and in most instances
excessive" Without being acquainted
with the facts. it is, of course, impossible to
say whether the judgment of the commit
tee will meet with general approval
or not when the work OF
the assessors is made public. 1t was
the understanding that the assessments
were to be very generally increased, ana
| il NAV be that the assessors, in their Ell
/ fort to carry out what was supposed to
/ be the wish Of the Council, increased the
l assessments more than, IN the opinion OF
the Council. the real value of prop
ertv justified. The plan adopt

Florida Claims.

What are known as the Florida claims
| have been before Congress, IN one shape
or another, for many years. The indica-
tons are that they will be pressed with
more than the usual yigor this winter Tor
a settlement Of some kind. While 1t is
not stated that Spain will refuse to pay
the awards against her by the Spanish
! American Claims Commission, which adj
! iourned last January, until some definite
! arrangement is made respecting the Flor
| ida claims, there is a suspicion that she
| will. Those who pretend to know some
| thing about the history of the Florida
| claims hold that Spain would be Justlhed
| in such a refusal. These Florida claims
had their origin in the war of 1872, when
| East Florida, at that time province OF
/ Spain, was invaded by United States
| troops. This country was on the eve OF
war with Great Britain, and it was
| thought probable that Great Britain would
occupy the country in question, and use
| the advantage thus gained against the
/ United States. Spain protested
aeinst the invasion, and sub
/ sequently demanded satisfaction lor
| the losses sustained by her subjects. In
/ 1919 treaty was made between Spain and
this country by which the Floridas be-
came part of the territory of the United
/ states. In that treaty the United States
agreed to compensate those who suffered
| by the 1872 invasion. In 1928 the Federal
courts of the Territory of Florida were
authorized by an act of Congress to adj
| Indicate the claims. At the same time an
appropriation was made TOT pay them. The
| adiudications were made, and those In
favor of Spanish subjects were certified to
the Secretary of the Treasury for pay
ment. That official, Eli Woodbury., as
I sumed authority to review the findings of
the courts. Some he paid, but the greater
portion he refused to pay. The amount of
the unpaid claims is about $l.SOO,O0O.
Secretaries of the Treasury since Mr..
WOOdbury's time have refused to take
any action with regard to them. At the
beginning of the Forty-seyenth Congress
the present Secretary of State addressed
note to the Chairman of the Foreign
Affairs Committee suggesting that
Congress should take some action with re-
gard To the claims. and pointing out three
ways of dealing with them. Congress.
however, did nothing, and it remains to
be seen what action the new Foreign Al
fairs Committee will take with regard to
them. 1t is clear that Congress ought to
do one of three things: refuse to pay them,
pay what is claimed, or if there is dis
pute as to the sum which ought to be
paid. have the claims Investigated, and
nav what is found to be due. 1t is neither
just nor fair to allow these claims to re-
main unsettled, while acknowledging
liahilifR for them.

The Hotel.

The Chairman of the hotel organization,
Capt. d. G. Purse, is out in a stirring ap.
peal to the committees on soliciting sub
scrIptions to the proposed hotel. The
committees are well appointed, and il
they bring their abilities to bear upon the
business entrusted to them, there can be
no question about the result. The Chair
man rightly says that to fail now is to
lose ten years, as it will take that time, il
not more, to again revive the enter
prise. Now or never is the watch
word, and we trust each gen
tIeman whose name appears on the list
will let nothing interfere with the impor'
tant duty assigned him. 1t is worth the
best effort he can put forth, and will be of
incalculable advantage to the city of his
birth or adoption, as the case may be, to
have such a hotel as the one proposed
built without delay.

The International Health Exhibition

The International Health Exhibition
The MORNING NEWS is under obliga-
tons to Mr.. Montague L. Ellis, British
Vice Consul at this port, for complete
programme of the International Health
Exhibition to be held in London in 1884.
The exhibition will be divided into two
departments, viz: Health and education.
In the Health Department will be
shown food, dress, the dwelling,
the school and the workshop,
and in the Educational Department
the apparatus used in primary, tech
meal and art schools. 1t is proposed to
occupy the buildings erected at South Ken
singtOn for the International Fisheries eX-
hibitlOn. The movement is good one, and
it will not only attract attention, but will
meet with general approval. Public
interest is constantly growing stronger
in health aud educational matters. The
world is waking up to the fact
that there is need of greater attention to
sanitary science, and to everything, in
fact. which has any bearing upon the
health of the mind and body. This Inter-
national Health Exhibition will serve, not
only to scatter valuable information re-
specting health and education, but will
arouse a deeper interest in these sub
lacts
