WHAT'S IN A NANEP

In his tnconcluslve reply 10 Controller Golfer
INQUIRIES Mr.. Silas butcher president Of the
Ramapo Water Company. said;
You ask upon what the offer OF the Ramapq
water Company TO furnish water TO the city OF
New York is based. The offer Is based upon the
demand Of more than twelve hundred properly
owners and taxpayers Of this cty-me icnants'
banks bankers real estate men. hotel keepers
Insurance men and others. representing nun
dreds Of millions Of dollars Of property value
whose signatures were attached to the peNI I,
embodied In the memorial OF the Board OF r.e
Underwriters presented 10 the Board OF Public
improvements on June IA. lSSS
We did not think when It first appeared that
this particular part of Mr.. butchers letter TO
the Controller was exactly responsive TO any
question which the latter had asked, but 1t dld
seem to show that large number Of intelligent
persons were or had been. favorable 10 the
Ramapo enterprise ard 10 that extent It may
fairly have been considered useful to the com
pany. Such value, however as il possessed was
short lived for ever since its publication the in
tellgent citizens whose approval was thus cted
have been rising to explain that they never
gave their approval to the project which Tam
many leaders have been resolved 10 put through.
or that. If they did, they had no comprehension OF
what they were doing Mr. butchers chief point
is therefore seen TO amount 10 little or nothing
In fact. the use made OF a good many names
rather tends to cast additional Odilim upon the
whole affair.
II must be acknowledged however, that some
Of the intelligent citizens who have been involved
in the controversy now find themselves IN
rather awkward situation, being obliged TO con
fess that they gave their names 10 m appeal
without stopping 10 ascertain what it was about
There is nothing criminal in that, To be sure
but IL does not comport very well with the repu-
tation which such men wish TO maintain. There
have been innumerable Illustrations Of the ease
with which highly respectable signatures can be
obtained for any purpose. but this experience
though less serious than some and less amusing
than others, is worthy Of notice. Undoubtedly
many Of the names signed 10 the petition which
Mr. butcher cited with much satisfaction
could have been quite as easily obtained in sup
port of q demand that Mr.. butcher should he
drawn and quartered IN front Of the City Hall.
Nobody wants to have the president OF the
Ramapo company figure as the centre Of such
spectacle but it Is not improbable that ten thou
sand mild and gentle residents Of New-Nork
could he persuaded without much difficulty to
sign a petition calling for his determination In
that horrfying manner
II the modification to which some OF our IN
telligent citizens have been subjected teaches
them and others TO be more careful Of their sig
natures. the incident will have served one useful
purpose
