PEDTCE PORT CHARGES.

Our port charges must be REDUCED or New
York will be supplanted by other ports NorloiK'
Baltimore, Newport News and even stald ihlia-
delDhia have already, through their enterprise
diverted considerable export trade to themselves
from New-York Statistics for the ten months
ending November show that their exports have
increased to the volume OF $27,O0O.OOO over the
same period last year. Although New-fork Is
gifted by Nature with one Of the best ports III
the world although through the wisdom OF our
fathers 1t became the outlet or the west anu
the chief gateway of the continent for exporting
its products yet by inaction New-fork Is per-
hitting neghbOrng ports to divert TO themselves
its chief source Of material prosperity
The figures are startling. During me ten
months ending November !, 1896. the exports
from Philadelphia have increased 20 per cent
from Newport News ~ per cent, and from BAIL
more nearly 81 per cent. while NorrolK heaus
,he list with an increase Of more than % per
cont How did they do it? BY attracting trade
through reduced terminal charges; by bringing
the freight for export direct to the ships side;
by cheapened transportation; by lessenng port
charges; by affording quick dispatch, and by
granting the fullest facilities to those willing to
invest in port improvements.
On the contrary. New-York clings to antiquated
methods of tOwagc. storage and REMINDING, with
all their attendant delay and cost Instead OF
attracting shipping by reducing the charges

John Y. McKane eliminated yesterday. and
failed Governor Morton performed his duty in
refusing the final application, and lie deserves
high credit for his constancy under conditions
which made that duty very painful one. The
delegation that appealed for Executive clemency
included the blind son and the young daughter
Of McKane and all right-minded citizens must
sympathize with the distress which they pa
thetcally manifested. But their emotion could
not affect the case. Justice and the public vel
fare alike demanded that their prayer should be
denied The offence for which McKane Is under
! going punishment was peculiarly rank because
OF the intelligence which he possesses, the de-
liberation with which he contrved it, and the
cynical defiance with which he carried 1t out.
Nor Is there anything in the mans character or
record 10 warrant special consideration Tor his
suffering. He used the power which he mad
stolen to propagate vice and crime. and since MS
downfall II has been discovered that he was as
faithless to private trusts as TO public Obliga-
tons Moreover. the penalty which he was SEN
fenced TO pay was not excessive, but cOmpara-
tlyely light. and II his conduct and demeanor IN
prison have been good he will derive from that
fact the full advantage which the law has care
fully prescribed
NO feeling Of malignity has moulded puDhc
opinion In this case or dictated the course when
Governor Morton has pursued. If any personal
onjmosty toward McKane ever existed 1t long
since disappeared. But it Is credltable and
fortunate that deep conviction Of the enormlty
Of the crime which he committed and or the
public menace which such an assault on free In
stitutions involves still remains. one of those
who appeared before the Governor yesterday in
McKane's behalf declared that public opinion
would approve an act of Executive clemency
He NAV have believed at the moment what he
was saving. but there Is abundant evidence that
he was wrong. II he had been right that cir
cumstance would not have released Governor
Morton from the obligation 10 obey his own )udg
ment and conscience, but having performed his
duty. the Governor may justly enjoy the salts
faction Of feeling that public opinion sustalns
him. His reference 10 the incoming administra
ton should not be interpreted TO mean more than
that so conspicuous an exercise OF cemency IN
the last days Of his term would subject him 10
special censure. He cannot have intended to in
Innate that a similar application 10 his successor
should and probably would be successful. 1t Is
not unlikely that Governor Black will have TO
decide the same question. and fortunately, his
