New-York tribune., 1900-03-22
PETTIFOGGING.

The pettifogging against the Morgan bill is
being carried on in true organization fashion,
Senator Stranahan says New-Iork is asking
too much" and should be content with specify
ing some particular watershed, just if he did
not know that the Ramapo Water Company
thanks to Speaker NiXon-already has what
NewYork is asking too much" in desiring, and
what New-YOrl formerly had and only lost
through the Platt charter. which Mr.. Stranahan
himself helped to pass. He acts just as If he did
not know that for New-York City to fix at the
instant any watershed would be practi-
cally impossible and that even il il did know
just what was required the passage of such
measure as the Morgan bill with reference TO
particular spot would be merely an invita-
ton to the RamapO company to file maps of that
region and compel the city to pay big price
for it,
Senator Humphrey who comes from far Wyo-
ming, whose water supply is not remotely
threatened by this city, is also as much i'm
pressed with the unwisdom of giving New-York
such unusual rights of eminent domain" if
he did not know that there nothing unusual
in the proposition at all. He says that the Fal-
lows bill protects the city and that mo harm
will now come by waiting a year." though he
cannot be ignorant that the Fallows bill does
nothing of the kind. 1t enforces some delibera-
tion in making a private water contract but it
does not free this city from the danger Of hav-
ing to make contract with the Ramapo COM
pany or go without additional water supply.
Probably up in Wyoming it will not matter if
New-York, while waiting year." endures
water famine makes bad bargain to escape
one.
Senator Higgins. who was a member Of the
Senate that passed Mr.. Nixons bill giving the
right of eminent domain in every part of the
State to the Ramapo company, is also shocked
at the impudence of New-Yorl City in asking to
be as well treated as private corporation which
has the good taste to employ Mr.. Platt's family
law firm and Mr. Platts faithful Lauterbach as
ifs counsel. He thinks ANY community in
(which New-YOrk attempts to seize water will
''be up in arms against it," and he is earnest
about it as If he thought the streams of his be-
loved Cattaraugus We're to be dried up under
the bill.
What nonsense it all is! What a pitiful show
men make of themselves in trumping up excuses
which they know worthless for not doing
what they know ought to be done, just because
they do not dare tell Mr.. Platt and Mr.. Odell
that loyalty to ''the organization" does not mean
the surrender of their votes to the service of pri
vate corporations with pull. The opposition to
the Morgan bill is based on nothing but the de-
termination Of 1.-The organization" to keep this
city shackled and in slavery to the Ramapo
company. Everybody knows II. and nobody is
deceived by pettifogging about it,
