Until the Philadelphia Times was
established in that Republican and truly
loyal city, the world labored under the
delusion that the Republicans were
keeping their ancient professions good,
and were managing municipal matters in
a "truly good" si vie. But the new paper
was no Rip Van Winkle, and immediate?
ly proceeded to unearth some of the
most monstrous municipal profligacy
and stealing on record. In fact, Chicago
is a sinh ss Eden, compared to the Re?
publican city of Philadelphia, which has
been under tho complete control of a set
of plunderers.
The Massachusetts people, having
spent $15,000,000 boring an immense
hole through the Hoosac Mountain, find
that running trains through to the Hud?
son River gives them no through line to
tho West, and that they are still playing
second fiddle to New York. In addition
to the money already spent, there is a
call for $1,500,000 more to put tho tunnel
in order for tho use of the various rail?
roads. Tho Hoosac tnnnel was a bad in?
vestment, Some engineers assert that a
track could have been graded auroHs tho

The Omaha Herald records the de?
parture of fifty r oldicrs from that city on
Friday, whose object was to cut off and
drivo hack the mining parties who left
Sioux City, a week or two ago, for the
Black Hills. At the same time, the He?
rald and other Omaha papers are daily
exhorting people to organize companies
for the reservation, and sneer nt the idea
of any serious intention of the Govern?
ment to intorfero. There is a rather
comical aspect about the Black Hills
business.
The Democrats of St. Louis talk of

. In France they do things (revolutions)
no hotter than in .Bolivia. A recent re?
