Money and Its Eager Pursuers- Greed Ia
Now Dangt rously Undermining Society
NEW York, March Y --Signs OF danger
are visible TO thinking men In the present
condition OF American society, especially
in the city Of New York, There is here
au apparently complete alliance between
the bankers, the political spOilsmen, and
good deal Of the newspapers. The
multiplication of the newspapers has made
II harder for zach one TO be supported,
and the taxation of the public is the
resort of everybody who can exert any
influence or suppress any scandal. This
was the situation before the doWniall Of
Tweed He had en- Imous advertising
bills N every one of the newspapers and
was finally exposed by not acknuwle dghg
one greedy oil He had TO draw the line
some here, and that was ON the reiormer
SO there was IN outcry and another set of
! politicians supers' dcd Tweed, ard tney
have Just about come to the condition he
ldeteriorated TO. The passion for money is
he only criterion Of the present society
here. Speculation has left the country
aud taken 10 the city IL seems manifest
that the streets OF New York have become
the gambling ground Of every SORT OF
operator. First the streets were seized
by the elevated railroad, aud two differ
ent companies were created, no precau-
lions being taken to keep them from unit
ing. SO In little while there was Il third
company, somewhat like the Oregon &
| rranscOntinental, wglich swallowed NJ
once the Northern Pacific and
the Oregon railroads. The Man
haitian company took In re-
former Tilden's and Reformcr Cyrds
Fields New York Elevated railroad aud
Banker Navarro's aud Banker Goud's
Metropolitan railroad. The governor
vas waited upon by a reform lawyer, and
persuaded to veto the tiye-cent fare bill,
Since that time elevated railroad stock
has been temptation TO other speculat-
ors Go seize upon the surface OF thu
streets and consolidate them oil
or put down experimental cable
railroads or devise ingenious schemes Of
una, rground arcades.
