Tax-nayers will be at this lime peculiarly
Interested in SOME figures which have been
con,pi1ed from tho records by Commissioner
1,unp1cH, Chairman of tho County Doard. It
appears TINT the Opposition ring in that
body hare ut tho expiration Of ten months Of
the fiscal year exhausted the appropriations
for current expenses for tho entire year,
amounting to S1.275,ooo, and that tlcfi-
cheney will 10 created for the next two
months. At the samo rate of expenditure,
Commissioner BunDrcK finds that IN addition
Of from 10 to IL per cent will bc necessary for
1876; or, in other words, that tho contin-
uanco in power Of tho Opposition corruption-
ists Of the Board will add nearly $500, 900 to
The already enormous aggregate Of the run
ming expenses Of tho Comfy Government.
This, it should bo remembered, does not in
clulc the department Of tho construction Of
public buildings, to which, nt o moderate
estimate, another 5000, 600 Of extrn expense
may be addcd, making q total Of a60o, 600
that tho Taxpayers Of Cook County will havo
to pay next year for tho luxury Of electing
the ticket put in nomination by the opposi-
ton crow. Thero is food for reflection ilt this
showing.

by looping OF tho hend Of the young man

to prove his prediction that it would haro to
como down. Ii this be not so, tlon he
il an inefficient 1&au who counot safely
be intrr,sted with tho work Of completing
the building. In either event, he should bo
removed, aud the petitions which hare been
sent to Washington from the members OF the
late Commission, from architects, Govorn-
ment officers, aud business men generally,
show that tho public looks at tile matter
from the SAME point Of view. Both 10 save

st. Louis yesterday enjoyed the excite

We hive invited tho nations of the world
to exhibit their products at Philadelphia.
The moro important of those products are
excluded from our 1narkcts, as fur M possible,

should havo read: "Pray show us what wo

surprising that foreign manufacturers should
hava boon slow in accepting an invitation
which, though not couclled in these words,
meant this thing. It seemed likely, ct one
time, That scarcely my Englisil1nen would

prevailed. Not only will the manufacturers

they will attach to them certain p'acards OK
