The Chicago Tribune

A great Presidential Campaign will
O Commence. That struggle will de-
termine whether the Government of the
United ST ates shall continue to be admin
istered b, the panty which preserved it
from disn,t nberment or by the men who
e~ndeavored % destroy OF refused to help
save it, in order that Slavery might be
maintained.
Those who de sire the Republican party
to remain in pow or cannot more efficiently
contribute to thai end than by increasing
the circulation OF The Chicago Tribune
in their neighbcrroods. Among the
leading Republican, newspapers none
takes a higher rank or will WELD 4 more
potential influence in the next Presiden-
tial Campaign. Every intelligent citizen
will find it i~ndispensab' e for the facts
and arguments 1t will contain.
THE %TRIBUNE's PL. .TFoRM.
On the leading measure before the
public, The Chicago Tribune holds the
following views, believing them to be
right as well as Republican:
/. 4 Reform of the currency, making
it as stable and good as gold and silver,
2. Reduction of direct State, and indi-
rect National Taxation.
3. Economy and Retrenchment in Pub
lie Expenditures; no Bounty or Subsi-
dies of Public Moneys for Private
Schemes, or payment OF Rebel Ltsses
out of the National Treasury.
4. An honest maintenance of Public
Credit, and Condemnation of Reputation
in any form or shape.
5. State Control and Supervision oyer
Common Carriers and Corporate Monop-
olies, not to Cypress them, but TO protect
the people.
8. Exposure and Punishment of all
Official Corruption and Frauds on tn
Revenue. Let no Guilty man escape
7. Honest ard Fit Men for all Offices
giving good Unionists preference over
former Secessionists.
8. Sovereignty of the Union in all Ma
tional Matters; State Rights and hide
pendence in all Local Matters.
9. Election of President by direct vote
of the People, without the clumsy and
dangerous Intervention of Electoral Col
leges, which may some day cause Il Civil
War.
10. A Constitutional Amendment pro-
hibiting a division of the Public School
Funds of any State for Sectarian Pur-
poses.
The Political Department is but one of
the many excellent features of The Trib-
une, on which is based its claims as Il

Frozen water MAINS.

INSTRUCTIONS IN THE PIPES IN SEVENTH STREET
AND AT THIRTEENTH AND ORANGE ExPERIENoEe
WITH ''DEAD ENDS"
The difficulty in obtaining water continues, and
the source of the trouble is extending itself in
to the water mains. One main, in West street
below 18th, which had been frozen distance of
200 feet, has been relieved, and others have been
discovered in different localities. In each in
stance the trouble proceeds from "dead ends, u
or examinations of mains where the water is
without circulation and quiet.
The West street main was relieved by uncov-
ering it and building fire over the pipe until
the ice was thawed. This was the first main in
the city to freeze, circumstance which grew out
of its nearness to the surface. When first put
down the pipe was laid to its proper depth, -four
feet, but the street has since been graded 80 that
1t was at the time of freezing only about twenty
inches beneath the surface. After being thawed,
Chief Engineer Hyde ooened the ground under
meath and lowered the main to the regulation
depth, which il little below the depth to which
the frost has penetrated-three feet five inches.
1t may be stated in this connection that the
freezing ID deeper in streets which run east and
west than in those running north and south.
In Seventh street, between Washington and
Jefferson, the main from the Rodney street
basin is frozen at the accustomed depth under
the ground. Another main in the same street
from the basin at 10th and Market is free and
furnishes the usual supply of water. The
former is " dead end" in the latter the water
circulates, showing that there is no danger
through the pipes. At 18th and Orange
streets another ''dead end, only 90 inches be-
low the surface, because of grading, is also fro
zen. Mr.. Hyde proposes to dig down to the
end, remove the cap and inject steam 20 as to
thaw the main out. There are in the city
about one hundred Of these "dead ends," but
further freezing has been prevented by frequent
opening of the fire plugs so as to disturb the
water. Could the usual supply be taken from
the hydrants it would insure immunity from
further freezing.
The fire plugs are also suffering somewhat
from frost-lifting. Three broken ones have al
ready been removed, and ten others are known
to be in damaged condition.

NO NEW DEvELopMENTs-MR. GARRETT's LINE OIL
STEAMERS TO BE rUT ON AT ONCE
Matters remain about the same in the war be
tween the BALTIC. & Ohio and Pennsylvania Rail
roads, the struggle being actively maintained by
both sides in relation to tariffs. The Baltimore
american says "the Baltimore and Ohio has
with great promptitude put on an outside steam
ship line between New York and Balti
more, and after to-day expect to re-establisl
their through freight connections with the
former city. Discussion has been started as to
the opening of an Independent railroad between
New York and Philadelphia, and the probable
purchase of the Philadelphia and Baltimore
road by one or the other of tho contestants, but
the matter has not yet got beyond rumol
speculation. The latter road has so fal
maintained its perfect neutrality between the
two contestants, but to avoid misapprehensions
gives notice that trains arrive and depart at the
President Street Station at the usual hours,
though no tickets are sold there for points nortl

EXPIRATION OF CONSTABLE DoRAN's TERM OF
OFFICE.
II will probably be gratifying to many poor
people of this city to know that constable Will
liam Doran's term OF Office will expire on the
21st instant (to-morrow). Doran was commits
stoned by a special act of the Legislature, Feb
ruary 10th, 1866, at a time when there was no
Democratic constable in the city, and for the
purpose of supplying that deficiency. He served
three years and then by special act
was continued three years more, to
February 10th, 1872, when his term
was to have expired. Not regarding this, how
ever he served from that date on to the Esd of
March, 1878, without commission. The Legls-
ature at that time legalized all the acts which
he had done without warrant of authority, and
extended his term Of Office to the 21st of Febru-
airy, 1875, 30 that it will end tomorrow.
We are informed that Doran will remove from
this city to Canada where he proposes to dwell.
