Of welcome and responses. committees

THE NEW FLOATING HOTEL

The new Cunardcr Campania is the largest
steamship built since the Great Eastern was
launched in 1859. In length she is 60 feet
shorter, in breadth is about Is feet less
and in depth 10 feet less than the loviathan
which proved a complete commercial failure.
1t is not easy to make precise comparison of
tonnage. The Great Eastern when loaded to a
draught of 80 feet had displacement of
% 900 tons The Campania. with gross ton
mage of 1850, will probably have displace-
ment of 5000. While the Cunarder is in
folior in dimensions to the Great Eastern her
machinery and engine power mark the great
advance made in the mechanics of shipbuild-
ing in thirty -four years. The larger ship had
eight engines four for paddles and four
for screws, blu. their collective horse power was
barely 10000. The Campania has two sets of
tnple-expansiOn engines, which are each de-
signed to indicate between ii, 600 and - ,OOG
horsepower. These are the most powerful en-
ginfs ever constructed for merchant steamer
If the expectations of the designers are fulfilled
these engines will be able to drive the ship
through the sea at the highest speed ever re-
corded.
The Great Eastern was not only a big ship
lcI us udN, DuJ dlSo u HcN OF Inc
most radical kind. 1t proved to be not only
too large ship for its time, but also com
mercial miscalcuation. The conditions of the
passenger and freight traffic did not Justify the
cons ruction Of the great ship. The expense Of
operating the vessel with lis eight engines and
enormous spread Of canvas from seven masts
could not be met by the earnings. The ship
was "a failure because the designers in carving
out new theory of construction had not taken
into account the practical requirements of the
transatlantic trade. The Campana, while ex-
detrimental and new departure, is not likely
to prove commercial failure. While she is
big ship, the dimensions of the liners have
been increasing by leaps and bounds during
the last decade. The development of the
transatlantic passenger traffic has been con-
tnuOus and shows no signs of abatement, and
it has created a demand for enormous floating
hotels, driven by engines of maximum power
While it is possible that the Campana and
the Lucania are somewhat in advance of the
requirements of the trade, it is more prob
able that they will prove profitable invest
men's TO their owners and viii greatly enhance
the prestige OF the Cunard Line
The Great Eastern was designed essentially

down and are not to be scaled up. The fine
stands: they are compelled to ply it.
Now. why should not this metropolis and the
other cities of the country which pay ont enor-
nous sums year after year for clean streets
and are furnished with dirty ones, why should
they not bring to bear similar heroic treat
ment against incompetent and unfaithful pub
lie servants? If citizen of NewYOrk City
fails in the discharge of his public obligations
he has to suffer for it. Why then, should
public official who betrays his trust be allowed
TO do so with impunity? Let citizen be as
scsscd for street improvement and If he does
not pay up promptly he is charged interest at
the rate of per cent. Let the citizen post
pone the payment of his annual taxes for
few months after they become due, and no
matter how coed his excuse may be for the
delay, the Sheriff can step in and sell his prop
erty for the purpose of liqudating the claims

Citizens must be held to a strict accountability

But sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander
There ought to be as far as possible the same
rule for the taxpayer and the taxeater. If

street which he neglected to keep clean ne
would have to pay substantial fine, it is
certain that the practical consequence would
be wholesome. He would find way OF keep

PLANS or TIE UNIVERSITY.

| The statement made last week by Chan
cellOr MacCrackcn concerning the removal of
| the University building from Washington
Square to new site uptown is to be commend
cd to the careful consideration of the public
| spirited citizens of NcwYork. Briefly de-
scribcd, this is the situation: The University,
| having long since Outgrown its old home has
decided to remove to spacious and advan-
tageous site OH the east bank of the Harlem
near Morris Heights. Through the generosity
Of its alumni and friends and the good man
agcment of its Chancellor and Council, it has
there secured possession Of twenty acres of
land, with a largo house which can be utilized
as one Of the college buildings. Other and
larger buildings are needed, and plans for some
IT them have already been prepared. There is
n general desire on the part Of tho friends of
the institution TO have the old building on
Washington Square taken down. removed and
re-erected as the nucleus of the group at Uni
versi'y Height. TO do this. making the build
ing fireproOf and modern in all its appoint
ments, will cost something more than 5000
600; and the University appeals TO the pub
lie 10 aid il TO the extent of contributing that
sum for the purpose. Such contribution will
insure the prompt execution Of the wor, of
removal.
There are several reasons why such an ap-
peal is properly To be made. The University
is Il venerable institution. identified with much
that Is best in American literature science and
art. The researches and discoveries that bayc
been made within its walls give impcrshlble
glory not only to this city, but to the whole
Nation. 1t was practically the birthplace of
two OF the most highly priced industrial arts
Of modem civilization-pho biography and tecg-
Iaphy-and wherever they ale pIacii>cd tribute

Of Now-iork Ii is not unreasonable to assume
that this public feels deep interest in the wei
fare Of such an institution, and in the preserva-
ton of the very building in which those

Any of our foreign visitors who happened to
find themselves in the neghbOlhoOd of City
Hall Yesterday morning must have been led TO
believe that some popular disturbance or riot
was taking place around the StaatsZeit-
ung' building, where the Offices of the Com
missioners of Taxes are located Glass doors
and windows were smashed in the struggle to
get in, and the aspect of affairs became at one
moment so serious that force of police was
summoned TO maintain order. The entire
trouble arose from the patriotic anxiety of a
number of our esteemed fellow citizens to avoid
payment of their personal taxes by the presen-
tation of affidayis previous to Il o'clock yes
terday that they had no personal property in
the city over and above their debts.
