NEW YORK CITY
AS A CROAKER
THE WEST INTERESTS THE EAST
ONLY FOR WHAT IT CAN
BE BLED OF.
Under the head, "New York as a
Panic Breeder," the Portland Tele
gram says: (
"Ezra Meeker, the pioneer who has
completed a trip with an ox team to
the Atlantic seaboard in the hope of
arousing Congress to build a macad-
am road along the. length of the Ore- j
gon trail, admits in an Interview that '
and the people have no Immediate
fear of the poorhouse, we do not like
this sort of croaking. New York has
always been so Intensely selfish and
so utterly indifferent to the welfare
of the rest of the country, except in
so far as New York might be affected,
that no bursts of grief are drawn from
the average citizen when he reads of
panics in Wall Street. Indeed, he Is
i inclined to be entirely indifferent. Like
! breeds like, and the indifference of
iNew York to the rest of the country
has bred up a feeling of Indifference
Jn the rest of the country to New!
York."
