Father Knickerbocker and Uncle Sam

A curious controversy has arisen between
a municipal department of New York city
and the Government Of the United States.
Under direction of the Treasury Depart
ment the Federal building known an the
Appraisers Stores, occupying the full
block bounded by Barrow, Christopher,
Greenwich, and Washingtonstreets, Is going
through n process Of enlargement for the uses
of the customs department. Incidentally
vaults for the storage Of goods are required,
and the city, through one of its subordinate
officials, has put in n bill to the United
States Government for 5000 for $4,000
feet OF vault space. at So per square foot of
surface" Secretary GAGE of the Treasury
Department has set forth in a communities.
tion to the Department OF Public Works
that there Is no appropriation from which
this charge can be paid that no demand
for payment had been made until after the
vaults were constructed, and that an act of
Congress says that land acquired for APP
praisers' warehouses shall be exempt from
all taxes and assessments by any State or
municipal subdivision thereof.
This view of the case would seem to be in
full accord with the rule governing the re-
lations of the Federal Government to minor
civic divisions, for the United States Is not
sued nor to be sued by individuals either
as such or acting az members of a chartered
municipal corporation, and the Constitu.
ton of the United States specifically pro,
vides in section 7 of subdivision o OF the
first Article that II o money shall be drawn
from the Treasury but In consequence of an
appropriation made by law"
The last report of the Commissioners OF
Taxes and Assessments Of New York gave
the value of the United States real property
here as 5000 8 900, and, of course, a
proposition to collect taxes upon 1t would
be resisted successfully. The Deputy Com
missioner OF Public Works, HOWARD PAY
SON WILDs, contends. however. that as the
vaults were dug without a permit from him
the United States must pay the regular
charge. 81 a square foot, and, as we pub
lished on Sunday, he has replied to Score
tary GAGE, "reiterating the demand fol

States had acquired 40 title or interest II

sum demanded was as necessary as thu

STATE FINANCES.
Temporary Loan May he Negotiated to
Rep,enish tho Treasury.


Special Correspondence OF Gazette and journal
Dover, May S.--The State treasury
must be replenished in order to provide
for immediate needs of the State. But,
while such ia the case, tbs condition OF
affairs ia not near SO bad as some pre-.
fess to believe, and, in fact, there is no
occasion for alarm.
The TREASURY now contains about
$50, 600, and, as obligations aggrsgat
ing about that sum are now or will
soon be due, in order to meet the needs
OF the State. in the shape Of appropria.
tions 10 be made by tho Legislature,
salaries, &c., loan must be negotiated.
Ii is probable, however, that only a
temporary loan will DO necessary, as il
is understood the Farmers Bank can
accommodate the State, which now
has on deposit there about $40, 600 DO
longing to the school fund.-
Additional State money will 20 to
the treasury 10 the fall. and it may be
that comparatively short period loan
will suffice.
State Treasurer Ross is now prepar.
ing statement OF the finances, and as
soon as that is in shape a bill TO
negotiate loan will be prepared.

work and the voters are sure to stand

From these interviews IL will Ia seen
that the man who refused to make
pledges WAS not accepted as the Re.
publican nominee for mayor, while the
man who was finally placed upon the
ticket Is highly satisfactory to the
chief local representative of Mr.. ].
Edward Addicks.
Putting this and that together. there
is but one conclusion that intelligent
men and good citizens can arrive at.

The following vigorous protest is
from the editorial columns of Tues.
days Republican, in connection with a
statement that bet had been posted in
this city OF 500 to s25 that the General
Assembly would pass the pending race
track bill:
The man who put up tho money, with
his brothers, owns stable of horses
which they run at the Maryland races.
When man is SO positive that he puts
up 500 against $50. he must believe
what he backs by his money We say
in no uncertain language that every
member Of the General Assembly who
would vote for this monstrous hill
should be tarred and feathered and
marched out Of Delaware 10 front of a
band of music. We have no objection
TO honest horse racing, but the thieves
and blackiegs who have been running
the races at the outlawed tracks, should
naver be given the privilege of carrying
on their dishonest business in our
State. ..
This is plain talk, but none too plain,
and none too strong. And it may truth
fully be added that no member of the
General Assembly can vote for bill
giving these race track gamblers foot.
hold in Delaware. without subjecting
himself to the suspicion that he was
bought by their money There will be
no room for any other inference.

Some Comments on the "Harmony" Ticket.
The Daily Republican on Tuesday
printed some comments by local he
puhlicans upon the harmony" ticket
nominated by committees Of the re-
spactive factions of the Republican
party, to be voted for at tho coming
city election. Among them was one
by Mr.. Seth II. Feaster, who said:
81 was waited upon by several men
who wished me- to make pledges. / re-
fused and said l would rather dig dirt
on French street for 81. 80 day than
arcede TO their wishes l could have
headed the ticket il l had wanted to
under their conditions. don't know
yet whether | will be candidate or
not on Saturday next. :"
Here is a very important statement.
Mr.. Feaster says be was asked to make
pledges and refused, which is TO his
credit. lie also says that he does not
know whether he will he candidate
for the nomination or not. He might
as we'll not be, for ho could not get the
nomination. lie would be counted out,
even il the votes were in bis favor.
If he has any doubt as 10 this point,
let him consult Mr.. Samuel II. Bay
nard, who was candidate for tine Re.
publican nomination for mayor two
years ago, and got the most votes in
the ballot boxes but not out of thun.
The men who asked Mr. Feaster for
pledges and got them not, would see to
it that he does not get the nomination,
should he conclude to try his fortunes
az the polls.
Mr.. Feastes's statement also raises
another interesting point. lie dis.
timely says he refused to make pledges,
which refusal barred him out as the
candidate 70: mayor on tho "cut and
dried" ticket. Tho reasonable nre.
sumption, therefore. is that the man
who was finally agreed upon did make
pledges that were satisfactory. If SO,
what were these pledges?
When We come to this inquiry, there
