Some Of the shy yssers At Springfield who
are lobbying through the bill TO bestow
the future harbor Of ChIcsgo On q rail-
road company are alleging that one OF
the pfopr7etnrs OF TIE TRIBUNE VAS
named as corporator OF the Chicago
Harbor and Dock Company In the BILL
which WAS defeated two years ago. The
tnsinuauon Is that our opposition to the
present bill has como connection wish
that defunct concern.
We believe that the gettera-up OF the
HaEbor and Dock bill did insert the name
OF Lieutenant Governor Bross In 1t as \
eofporator. We are enabled 70 state,
however, In the most politive man.
neI, Tat he had nothing Whatever
TO do with II, that his name was inserted
in the bill without his knowledge or con.
sent, and that he never saw and ncye.
aligned their articles Of association and

Railroad bill He gave his promise,
tho9sBtlcsly, bttoio 6ew1 elected. Ho
made an enormous mistake, first in CIV
ing his prom{se, and ec,nd in keeping
1t. We have never believed that he re.
ceived one solitary cent for his vote.
Since that unluekY day MI. Eastman
hss rendered his constituents some i'm
por.ant servicee, both In ths Legislature
and cut oft. he Was elected member
Of Tie Board of Education by q clique
who thought they could use him for I'M
worthy purposes. When they found
they could not do 50, they turned upon
him and raised the old hn1se-rallroad CRY
against him. We do not believe that The
people eympathize with the persecution
or the mo1ives which ,mpcl it.
TIE resolutions, so far as they relate
to General Grant, are impersinent in lhe
extreme. They assume that the Prest-
dent OF the West Division Railway is
abcut to bcatow the Post Oflse on MI
E stman through his known Influence

Insulting and untrue.

An Associated Press despatch from WASH

Van Allan had just arrived there from

regard to Cuban affairs. General Van

them with the task Of laying the truc

hare not referred to this matter
before becAuge II has seemed to US idle
and superhuous 10 defend two such men

Wilson ard Allison become corrupt we
shall think there Is no virtue left either
In public or private station. And the
same remark may be made of Judge
Hubbard, Of the Sixth Iowa District,
who is included In the accusation.
This Thomas raid seems to have been
timed to attract the notice of General
Grant 1t has been rumored that the

The Legislature has ordered An lnves.

The Legislature has ordered An luves-
agauon To be made Into It's own supposed
corruption. This Is wise proceeding.
The Developments will probably be In an
inverse ratio With tho facts. The large,
the sum at money spent In psopellipg
the Like Front, the SAte House and the
Pcnitenha1y bills, the smaller will be the
discoveries. The men who have "money
bills" In the Legislature aro not SO grecn
rs to pay anything beyond liquor, cigars
and board until one day aflcr adjourn-
ment-neve1 In any case until after the
bill psssea
While this Investigation Ia going on
would 1t not be we'll for the Legislature 10
make some iEqninea concerning tho out
side ha1bor, SO that they may know
what they are about! There are TWO
men In this city who are intimately and
thoroughly acquainted with this proper

about the depth Of water, the force Of the

the shoals, ths Rhifting sands and

mA1y years Of the construction aud pres
erva,ion Of the works at the mouth o

Legislature valuable information con-
earning the cost Of constructing ani

can tell the Legislature, too, shat the city
Of Chicago Is capahla OF expendtng money
