the question Of what steps the Lackawanna and
Erie companies will take for the improvement
or their terminals. There has been good
deal Of talk In the last three or four years
about Initiating the course of the Pennsylvania
road IN this respect Because IL is apparently
manifest that their interests viii require them
10 do so. the public has received the stories
about their intentions with considerable conf
dence. As yet there are no outward and visit
ble signs Of any such action 1t is possible.
therefore, that negotiations have been initiated
with view to sharing both the tunnels and
terminal facilities OF the Pennsylvania. and that
no independent action will be attempted. In
that case few weeks, or at the utmost few
months would suffice TO make the requisite
track connections over In New Jersey after the
completion of the Pennsylvania work.
Whether not the patrons Of the Lacka-
wanna and Erie lines would be content to use
the Pennsylvania station Is nice question.
The project would have its advantages and its
disadvantages. Thirty fourth street is pretty
we'll uptown for the great majority of the COM
muters who come in on the principal New Jer-
sey roads. Sooner or later there will be better
means than are now available for getting down
town. but most of the persons who are landed
daily at COrtlandt, Barclay and Chambers
streets might be better accommodated by tun-
nels ending near those points than by one ter
minatng two miles or more further north.

THE PUSHOARr PRoBLEM.

The commission Of citizens appointed by the
Mayor TO investigate the pushcart problem.
which Is an acute one in the cOngested districts
/ Of the East Side throws considerable interest
ing light on this, 10 the general public, mystic
rious business. The pushcart man is frequently
regarded as a link between a pauper and a
merchant, to be tolerated from motives Of char
ity, and his cart is thought of as a poor mans
store, serving a commercial purpose in the econ
omy Of our immigrant population not TO be
accomplished by any stationary source OF sup
ply. This notion is in several important re-
spects erroneous. In the first place, the ped
lers are not paupers, and are not newly ar
rived. There are between 1000 and 5000 Of
them in the streets Of New York. major
ity Of them have been in this country from
five 10 ten years. and they earn from SO TO SIS
a week. The city licenses are granted in large
numbers to rich ''padrones," and many Of the
pedlers-all those who are unnaturalized-are
mere employees carrying on profitable busi-
ness for their masters. The commission holds
that the excuse for allowing the obstruction of
streets by carts, that they serve the local resi-
dents, is not good. The crowding of the carts
bears no relation whatsoever 10 the needs of
the population in the neighborhoOd, and the
pedlers could be completely eliminated from
the streets without loss To anybody but them
selves and their families. The common belief
that food sold from pushcarts is dangerous
IS also declared 10 be erroneous. II is generally
as good as, and often better than that sold
in neighbOring stores.
As a remedy for the mtOlerable congestion OF
traffic caused by vast numbers of pushcarts
crowding together, the commission recommends
the establishment OF a restricted district" OF
the territory south Of 14th street east of the
Bowery and north OF the Brooklyn Bridge
There the pushcartS are TO be stationary The
city Is 10 designate four places on each block
and sell at auction the right 10 stand at each
place, and the pedler cannot establish himself
elsewhere or sell when going TO or from his
stand The rest Of the city is 10 be unre-
stricted in so far that a licensed pedler may
so long as he wishes at any one place, provided
that he may not stop in any block where there
are already four other carts. This abolition of
the time limit for standing is probably wise
for the present rule is an invitation 10 petty
police grating. and is not enforced as To
carry out its original purpose Of making the
pedler actually peripatetc. The special provi-
sions for the East Side are also probably wise.
provided the business, which the commission
declares 10 be OF no general benefit, while II
obviously causes much inconvenience. is TO be
continued al all. Probably. however. total alb
clifton would be too drastic a course 10 be
adopted The pedlers themselves and their de
sire TO make money are not likely 10 be ig-
nOred.
