The old saying that where there is much
smoke there is fire seems to be an apt smile
in the Alaska purchase fund. After all, it
appears that the odd two hundred thousand
dollars over the seven millions stuck in the
hands of lobby agents abont Washington. We
have not yetyot at all the facts but it seems
that Robert J. Walker obtained the nice little
ing, or pretending to help, the purchase appro-
priation through Congress. 1t is positively
stated too, that he was employed by the Rus
sian Minister, at the recommendation of our
Secretary of State. Mr.. Seward has had an I'M
dying penchant for the lobby ever since the time
he was Governor of New York, when Thurlow
Weed was the State barber. This modern
Oliver LIE Dain found his Louis XII in w. H.
Seward. That the Secretary of State should
recommend Walker as lobby agent is a
the balance of the two hundred thousand dol
lars? Into whose hands did that hundred and
seventy-five thousand dollars GO? Was Mr..
Stewards old State barber participant? Did
the correspondents of the chief radical organ
or copperhead organ Of this city get any of the
money? We're any members of Congress
interested? What Bohemians of the press
touched it? Let us have searching inquiry
into the facts. Mr.. Stoeckl should explain
how he was induced to use money in this way,
and Congress should put Mr. Seward, Thurlow
Weed, r. J. Walker and the newspaper CORE
spondents on the stand to reveal under oath
the whole transaction. II will not do to allow
the matter to be smothered up. Let us have
the facts.

The Proposed Underground City Railroad

Some months since there was considerable
furry over the proposed construction of an
underground city railroad, extending from the
Battery to the Park. Plans and specifications
were made, calculations upon the cost of the
work and the amount to which property hold
ers might claim naturalization were figured
up, an act was passed by the Legislature in
cooperating company to carry out the under
taking, and, in short, all preliminary arrange
ments were apparently made to set the work
fairly under way. But since then nothing has
been done. Not spadeful Of dirt has been
turned up. No surveys have been held. Even
subscriptions have not been called for, which
is probably the strangest thing Of all. Why is
this? What is the cause of this delay
Have the projectors come to the conclusion
that the whole enterprise Is impracticable !;
that the rocky formation upon which the
city rests is impcnetrabIe that the
flow of water will continually preclude
practical operations, aud that there are
other natural barriers and distractions to
be met with az the work Is prosecuted
which will make it labor for eternity
II this be the opinion Of those who have
the business in hand and are disposed to
abandon It, why not surrender the charter to
those who believe in the practicabiity of the
! undertaking and are ready to push IL through
Many intelligent and responsible engineers
have expressed their belief that the subterra-
mean roadway can be built that the walls oan
be made water-tight, and that the rocky
formation can be successfully penetrated.
That is all that is necessary. Therefore let
the work be commenced at once, or, at any
rate, let US have some certain way Of relieving
| the throngcd and almost impossible thorough
