made the spoil Of unscrupuous corporations.
The peoplc of New York and of Brooklyn are
feeling now as they rarely have feit pelore
the effects of the rapacity and the green oil
the companies which carry passengers over 'ne
Bridge and which traverse the various paris
of the Brooklyn Borough. To the unpreJudi'eu
student Of the history and operations OF these
companics it is evident that the directors ana
managers rarely give deliberate thought to the
convenience and comfort of tie pubic from
which they draw much money. They do not
seem To think Of anything hut the salaries
which they get and the possibilities OF exorDl-
tant profits on the capital actually Invested,
and also the opportunities for manipulation ana
speculation in Wall Street. TO the observer
of average intelligence it is clear that these
corporatIons could give far better service
10 the public than they are now giving ana
could give it with advantage 20 themselves III
the long run.
No one familiar with the careers of inhuen-
tlal nolitIcians and office holders in Brooklyn
since the Bridge was built can doubt that
horde of schemers on the Long Island side
Of the East River has amassed unhoy gains
nv corrupt tralicking in the power TO grant

New-Yorkers who frequently travel on Long
Island are grooming and lamentlng over
the treatment to which they are daily subject
ed They may get some relief when addl-
tional bridges are set up and when the tuhnci
is dug under the East River but they have
been so oppressed. so cheated and so plllagcd
by the combinations of corporations IN recent
years that they naturally feel apprehensiYe
lest the additions Of new routes of travel or
the LAYING out Of more railroads or the run
ming of more lines of traffic may simply result
in further consultations and combinations. and
that their sufferlngs in future years may not
be lesscned Patience Is n virtue no doubt;
but the patience with which New-forkers and
Brooklynies submit to the Outrages which are
necessarily perpetrated upon them is by no
means praiscworthy.

Baltimoreans are beginning to look forward to

members elected from four districts and the
president, and the other OF twenty-four mem

while the Aldermen elected. one from each

The Mayor has the appointment OF sixty
