WHAT is known as the Greater New
York bill was signed Wednesday by
Coy. Flower. Under this law the peo-
pie of New York, Brooklyn, Long Is
land City and IN fact all the several
communities lying in the immediate
vicinity of New York city, will vote
next fall upon the proposition to con
solidate them all into one enormous
city. The is no doubt that the prop.
osition will carry. The city of New
York will then have an area Of 81
square miles and population of over
5000, 900. placing it second in rank
among all the cities of the world. And
were it possible to take in the cities
and towns lying across the river on
the New Jersey side, the greatness OF
the great city would be still further
enhanced, but that of course cannot
be done without changing the state
lines. Yet as it is New York will &C
quire a very long lead over Chicago
The bill which has just become Law
says nothing as to the form of gov
eminent to be adopted; the next legis
lature is to take that matter up should
the people at the election vote in ia
vor of the project.

PATRoNIZE home industries, home
 merchants, home labor should be the
 motto of the citizens of every town and city in the state. It is the surest way to prosperity. It equalizes wealth, and therefore blesses all alike-employer and employee. It is strange that peo- pie cannot be made to see that it is their clear duty to pat tronize the home merchant, the home manufacturer and home labor without having it dinged into their heads. It should come to everyone by intuition, and arguments should not be necessary to convince them. It is fact that many of our people go to Los Angeles, and even to San Francisco, to purchase their dry goods and clothing. And we are told they could get the same goods at home and at a less price. Is not their action the height of folly? How can there be prosper lty among a people who are not endowed with better common sense?
