THE PFNNSTLT4NT4 BILL.

II i evident that nj the hearing in the
Mayors office today the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company's bill authorizing the construc-
tion Of tunnel to connect Long Island with
New-Jersey earnest arguments for and against
the terms proposed will be presented. to all Of
which the Mayor. it was hardly necessary for
him to say. will listen with open mind. II is
desirable that the proposition should be more
thoroughly understood than the discussion in
the legislature has enabled the people to under
stand il, and there Is some reason for regret
that there is so little time left before adjourn
ment in which to amend the bill in case the
need of amendments should appear.
On the face of it the bill, substantially mod-
flying the charter and TO some extent affecting
the operation Of the Rapid Transit act. confers
privileges on the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany which the city should hesitate to bestow.
1t grants for example a perpetual franchise. in
disregard of the charter provision limiting the
life of franchises 10 twenty-five yearS-a pro-
vision which sound considerations of public pol
icy and strong popular feeling dictated. But,
on the other hand, the fact is not to be over
looked that the project does not involve an eX-
tensiye use of public thoroughfares or any sacri-
fee Of general convenience. 1t IS represented
also in behalf Of the Rapid Transit Company
that the provisions of the bill will. or at least
may, subject II 10 unjust competition. But that
argument can easily he pressed too far. mas
much as the rapid transit roads are being built
with money advanced by the municipality at
low interest and on terms otherwise favorable
TO the contractor and his associates As for the
question of remuneration. there is much force
in the view of the counsel TO the corporation
that a fair recompense could and presumably
would be not only demanded but secured under
the ample authority bestowed on the city gov
ernment. whereas fixed percentages on earn
ings. as experience shows. facilitate avoidance
of the obligation and frequently in fact cannot
be collected
Perhaps "A more serious doubt IS raised by
the assertion that the bill under consideration
ahrdgeS the general powers of the Rapid Tran
sit Commission, which were designed perma-
nently 10 cover all operations of the sort. II
that is true the fact ought TO be made clear
and the possible consequences pointed out
Heretofore the public has felt assured that the
commission would firmly and wisely protect its
interests, and it would regard with some anX-
iety any enactment which diminished its secur-
ity. On that question the opinion Of the Mayor,
originally member of the commission and at
present n member ofticiO. will he particularly
valuable. 1t may appear that while in the main
mert0riouS the bill now in his hands needs to
be amended to some extent Both sides will
have a fair chance to-day to clear up such points
as this and make the Mayors duty plain.

THE TO STOP PLANNING.

It really seems to be about time for Mr.. Lin
denthal TO stop this bewildering output of new
schemes for bridge relief We should hesitate
TO say how many plans have been Of
ticialy brOached since the beginning of the year.
but certainly their name has been legion. There
have been few days without one, and there
have been some days with each more than one.
Some of them have been fantastic. Some have
borne the stamp Of apparent practica bility We
are not sure that more than two or three have
been seriously tried. Certainly the great ma
iority have been mentioned only 10 be passed
by. One day a grand and brand new plan
would be put forth, which was sure to solve the
problem. and the next day it would be dis
carded without trial in favor of some newer
one which in turn would on the third day meet
the same fate. In such multiplicity of schemes
and paucity of relief the public has been partly
amused, partly bewildered and, We are afraid,
chiefly disgusted.
What is wanted is not an necessarily cor,lscat t
ing fight of new plans" bur plain practical
persistent trial of some one or two plans of evi-
dent merit Such evident merit resides in the
plan Of divertng traffic to the ferries When
the car company began running the Fifth-ave
lines 10 the ferries we pointed ont that the ex-
pertinent might not be wholly successful and
urged that IT be supplemented with some other
measures. It is not enough TO run single line
10 a ferry There must he general facilities
there for all passengers. Especially is there
need Of increased elevated railroad facilities at
Fulton Ferry. Hitherto the elevated roads have
been managed in the way best calculated TO
drive people away from the ferry People will
not cross the ferry if they are compelled 10 take
n shuttle train to the bridge and there climb a
lot of stairs again and then fight their way into
already overcr)wded bridge train. What is
wanted is 4 system Of through trains from Full
ton Ferry on the FultOn-st elevated road. and
on the LexnSton-ave. line also. We should like
10 sec the experiment made Of running such
trains on such schedule time as to coincide with
the running time of the ferryboatS. Let people
know that if they 20 over Fulton Ferry they
will find through trains those roads in wait
ing, which will start without delay upon the
arrival of the boats and we inclined TO
think thousands will go to the ferry who now
flock TO the bridge
There are other ways and means of encourag-
ing ferry travel which have not yet been tried
1t would he we'll to try them ALL to the utmost.
before indulging in any more looping the
loops. Plans are necessary Mr.. LindenthaL
But the proof of plan is in the practical appli-

will not be enough to enable the Cuban sugar

the bounty coddled sugar Of Europe. That may
be. The best authorities upon the subject in
the United States. who have investigated ana
studied the matter thoroughly. declare that the
reduction Of tariff. TO he efficient. should he as
much As 20 per cent, or at least 80 Ia per cent
II the House does not see fit To amend its own
bill by raising the percentage of concession
the Senate will doubtless give that matter due
consideration when the bill comes before il.
Meantime it Will be we'll to bear constantly in
mind that the measure in question is not mere
aims or \ bounty. The title of the bill declares
its purpose TO he ito provide for reciprocal
trade relations with Cuba" That is an acCu-
rate description. The law and the agreement
under It will work both ways. With what
measure We mete TO Cuba. Cuba will measure
unto us again. The percentage of reduction OF
tariff on Cuban sugar will mark the per-
centaCe of reduction of the Cuban tariff on inn
ports from the United States II is therefore
not merely a question of what concession we
are TO mako to Cuba, but of what concession We
are to get from Cuba.
This will doubtless he borne in mind by Rep
resentatves and Senator's in perfeCting the
pending measure 1t is pertinent, and indeed
essential. TO inquire what reduction of our tar
iff will enable Cubans to conduct their sugar
business at q profit 1t is also pertinent and
essential to inquire what reduction Of the Cuban
tariff I'm our favor will enable American farm
and manufacturers to compete in the Cuban
market with the Germans and other Europeans
who now rapidly driving them out At
present our sales to Cuba are falling at an ON
nous pace while German sales to Cuba are ris-
ing still more rapidly. That is process which
should he stopped, and this bill should he so
framed AS 10 stop IT, Whatever concession We
may make to Cuban sugar. we should secure Il
sufficient concession to our own merchandise to
give it profitable access to the Cuban market.
