NEW YORK A WAY STATION.

NEW YORK A WAY STATION
Vast changes in transportation re
latlons OF New England and the
southern and western portions OF
the country will result from the
agreement Just reached, after four
years Of negotiation between the city
OF New York and the Pennsylvania
railroad. This agreement assumes
the building OF the Connecting Rail-
road; 1t means more to the country
at large than to New York, for
tho Connecting line. completing a
loop around Manhattan, will bio a
laew link joining North, South and
West none effectively than ever
before. It will make New York city
a way station. and trains between
Boston ana Washington or st. Louis
will pay the metropolis the courte.
sy OF only few minutes stop.
The revolution in the carrying of
freight In the metropolitan district
will he quite as wonderful as the
change wrought on the passenger
route. When the Connecting Rail
road and other improvements on
Long Island finished through freight
will skirt the city by way of a
gigantic loop around Brooklyn and
Queens. without interfering with
either land or water traffic.
The methods by which the Penn.
sylvania obtained the Connecting
Railroad franchise are being held
up as model OF how corporations
should deal with city authorities.
The railroad stated it's proposition
frankly, and announced its desire
for the most thorough public dis
cussionr OF its claim. This position
was maintained in the face of many
'discouraging obstacles; the result.
after long delay. is that great
public Improvement will soon be
under way and the city will be well
paid for its franchise.

on the credit side Of the ledger
There is something EARRING about
that utterance. The Standard Oil
company has certainly made about
as good job Of turning into an
international merchant rs anybody
can recall, but OF course the
other side OF the ledger will show
