q. W. Smalley's London cable to

down, and the moment will come
when the liberal unionists Will find
themselves unable to support their

sues the country will then see that no

POINTS FOR SENATOR GRISWOLD.


Senator Griswold is reported as saying in
answer to TIE TRIBUNEs suggestion that he
should introduce a bill to abolish the Bridge
Trustees: 81 presume in time 1t will be neces-
@sary to change the present Bridge manage
"ment . If it can be shO"n to me that
"the Bridge will be better managed by a smaller
aboard of trustees, shall not hesitate To meet
"the issue"
What necessity for change III "the
present Bridge management" can be brought
about :" in time" that does not exist now
The Bridge is finished, and no mOdll-
cation in it except the enlargement OF the
terminal facilities is contemplated by anybody
If the present method Of managing 1t Is the
best possible now, there is no reason why IL VIII
not remain the best for all time II change Is
ever To become necessary, 1t Is a Necessity now
That change is necessary was clearly per-
ceived by the late Mr.. Kingsley and by MI.
Slranahan. Though we often had OccaslOn to
clitIcise them, on this point we gave them cor
dial praise. They SAW plainly that the Junction
of the Board of Trustees was to Dulld the
Bridge: not to manage the compile ed structure.
And q majority of the Board a year ago ac-
guessed IN this view and approved bill end
ing their oilicu existence. The part of the bill
winch provided for new board OF control was
heartily approved by public sentiment both IN
New \ ork and Brooklyn, and the trustees then
deserved and received high praise for their
willingness 10 rcimqulsh theI authority
The Board of Trustees rs now constituted Is
accountable to no one for the management
of its trust 1t is made up of business men Tor
the most part, and is supposed TO meet Tor an
hour or two each month Frequently 1t happens
that no quorum is present; but that makes lIttc
difference, for things seem 10 run them
selves" to IA great extent. Apart from the
trustees meetings, the trustees, with the cAccp-
ton of the executive lsalarlcd officers, give
little if any attention to the Bridge. hcn the
monthly sessions are held they simply raIiy bJ
their votes the work laid Oul Tor them. In other
words, most of the trustees are merely hgurc-
heads. 1t was well enough To have such iisure-
heads although they were more than that
them when dollars by the million were beng
poured out to raise the costly pile. Then they
were i'm fact trustees of the taxpayers money.
But their trust terminated when the Bridge was
finished and in fair working order.
Resides. the present trustees have shown no
special aptness in doing tine work dcvolving
upon them. Their lnc0mpctency rather has
been proved The need Of commanding
executive head is ~ PLAIN rs the Bridge towers
themselves Oh a clear day. The Bridge should
be managed on sound business principles,
and the first step should be to put an end to the
present cumbersome board of control com
petent and responsible commission composed oil
practical men must be provided. The political
aspect of the matter TIE TRIBUNE has already
cmpn.lslzcd and 10 tina, we will not now refer
except to reaiilrm that the Bridge must be
taken out OF politics.
New-York tribune., 1886-02-22
MONEY AND BUSINESS.

Last week changes more numerous and more
important disturbed all the markets than
usually occur in single week The general
result WAS a reversal of the engines, SD
to sneak Previously stocks had advanced and
wheat had been falling. Last week stocks de-
chucd and wheat began to advance. Both IN
Congress aad in Europe events looked more
favorable for the ultimate prevalence OF a gem
nine bimetallism, but the exports OF gold con-
tinued and had considerable influence.
The rupture of the transcOnunental railway
pool, and the beginning of coItost between
the Pacific railroads, with Pacific Mal no longer
a benevolent spectator. should have been, IA 1t
WAS. disturbing influence. But it Is nonsense
to say that the quarrel is the natural result OF
building too many roads for the traffic across
the continent The managers OF transc0ntl-
mental lines are not 80 stupid IA 10 nave
imagined that the entire through traffic across
the continent was big enough 10 hght about.
They must have understood from the first that
the future of the Union Pacific, Central Pacific,
Atchison and Santa F6 and Southern Pacific
must depend almost wholly upon the settlement
of the regions through which those roads run.
They could well afford 70 transport at loss for
migration and capital. more rapid development
of resources, and larger permanent business.
The AtchsOn and the Southern lines, un-
happily for both, are rivals in the development
of the Southern section, the Union Pacific
and Northern Pacific are in the development
of the North Pacific section, and it Is far more
difficult for these roads to agree than one
might suppose, considering only the in
significant through traffic. But Their struggles
do not necessarily affect the business or the
charges OF roads east of the Mississippi and
Missouri, and the shipments from Chicago last
week showed an increasing volume Of business
over the trunk lines, with less evidence of rate
cutting The truth Is that the Street has been
far too confident of the settlement of all dis
putes in the railway world, and the avoidance
of all evil consequences of excessive railroad
building in the past, so that some reaction from
that overcOnfdence was natural.
The purchase of the Vanderbilt block Of
Reading by Mr. GOwen was considered inn
portant mainly because ii showed that he had
secured somewhere the support of large cap
ital. But it does not follow that he will desire
to prevent, or will be supported in preventing
arrangements for the harmonious management
of the trunk lines and the coal traffic. In fact,
it is stated that plan for the regulation of the
anthracite trade was agreed upon last week by
the other companies and submitted to the
Lackawanna and the Delaware and Hudson,
but was coldly received. The Lackawanna put
out coal in January at the rate of 6,OOO,O 900
tons in year, and it claims larger percentage
than some of the other companies are willing
TO concede. At the close of the week the
average price of sixty stocks was 81 II lower
