These Islanders Should Reconsider.

Since the Incorporation OF the present
municipality Of New York. on january 1,
1893, there has been no extension OF the
city boundaries. On the contrary, there
has been reduction OF New York 9 area and
population by the addition OF part OF tbe
borough OF Queens to the new county OF
Nassau. Moro recently there has been
some agitation In what 10 variously known
as Richmond county or Richmond borough.
but must always be to all Now Workers
Staten Island, In favor OF secession from
New York.
In Justification Of this demand the Staten
Islanders aver that their taxes are larger
than before consolidation; that necessary
public works, instead Of being expedited
are being delayed; that the expense Of
administration has been increased; that
the influence Of the voters has been dlmin-
ished. and that in the matter OF ferry
connections, railroad facilities, gas, pave
ments, police protection and regulations,
the benefits promised have been either
withheld or deferred.
Undeniably, for causes which It is beyond
the power Of the voters OF New York to
alter forthwith on demand, the full frultion
OF the benefits coming to the borough of
Richmond has been somehow postponed.
But New York would be extremely reluc-
tant to part with it's sylvan borough, the
island borough OF the lower bay. the pic
turesque but not wholly surveyed Staten
Island. the residents Of which were excel
lent neighbors before they became fellow
citizens, and the future destlnies Of which
In development and progress are indis-
solubly connected with Manhattan's.
Pretty much everything which Is worth
having Is worth waiting for. These ener-
getio but dissatisfied citizens of Staten
Island who want to sever the political ties
now uniting it to the rest OF New York
should reconsider. The difficulties OF which
they complain will some day vanish like a
November fog, the demands Of the Rich
mond borough citizens will receive respect
full and considerable attention, and the
agitators who have proposed to withdraw
from New York will regret that they ever
spoke and be grateful that their advice
was not followed.
