New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1884-04-16

Some opposition has been developed M Albany u
the bill granting to railroads having their ternni
in the harbor of New-York tho right to boats
and floats and operate ferries The bill, which was
introduced in tho Senate by senator Otis,
characterized as q measure for the surrender of the
harbor into the hands Of the railroad companies. 1t
should be called rather bill to prevent the growth
OF railroad parasites In the Harbor of New-I York,
and ~ protect stockholders railroads from tho
encrouchment Of subsidiary companies II a rail
road cannot hold ferry franchise where 1t Is
needed its next alternative will be found In the
organization OF a company composed of part of its
own Stockholders and the profits that should go to
the entire company will go only to few individual
members. All the railroads terminating in New
Jersey own their own ferries and while the privi-
lege is withheld from New-YorI roads they are
placed at disadvantage as against their cOmpeti-
tors.
Rev Justin d. Fulton, of Brooklyn, is represented
as saying in the of address delivered LAST
Sunday, that Easter institution of Pagani5m
and ought not 20 be recognized" The legitimate
effect of this sort of talk will be to produce the inn
preston that the dominic himself is a survival of
Paganism and ought not to be recognized.
The efforts Of those bankers and business men
who have been striving at Washington to make
though deserving Of all praise, do not seem likely
to DO crowned with success. Men who cannot be
convinced by simple inspection of the Treasury
turns as they are officially announced day by day,
can hardly be informed or enlightened by anybody.
Mondays statement. for inse noe, showed a loss
Of S711 40 gold SINCE Saturday, as Saturdays had
shown loss Of 1886, 441 since April /, On the
other hand, Mondays statement showed an in
crease in the of useless silver held of $273503
since Saturday. and 1874, l01 since April /. The
greater part of tho gold is paid out it is true in the
redemption Of gold certificates at present.
1902 40 came in from Saturday to Monday and
S37IS. 400 were redeemed since April l. But, in
place of these gold certificates legal tenders Went
out of the Treasury. and Into circulation, and these,
being red.cmable on demand in gold, are a charge
against the gold in hand just much the certll-
Gates which pledge gold on deposit. OF the legal
tenders the amount outstanding had increased on
Monday 1881 O3I since Saturday, and S3.3794W
since April l. Hence the paper outstanding to be
redeemed in gold decreased in half the month Of
April only 1898 839, while the gold to pay 1t with
decreased 81, j7TIGO And it has still TO bo added
that the silver certificates are actually redeemed in
gold through the Custom House, and the amount OF
those outstanding has also increased about
$500. 900 IN half the month. The most eloquent
bankers and persuasive business in the world
will fail to make an impression on minds which
such facts rs these do not convince.

Police and Excise Commissioner Partridge, of
Brooklyn should bo credited with having made
practical suggestion TO the liquor dealers whom he
told them that the best way for them to show that
they are observing the Sunday law would be TO pull
up the blinds of their shops and show that nothing
was going inside" Ia fact, If tho dealers were
compelled TO keep their blinds up on Sunday the
best possible guarantee against evasion of the law
would be had The conoealment afforded by blinds
and screens is however of tho OF the retail
liquor traffic. and 10 serves TO show how important
