IT used to be thought that almost any

with impunity, but in New York story
that man told to soldier of the ma

him in inQuirendo de lunico and he was
sent to the insane asylum.

OUR soUrHERx RAILROAD.

As the Trustees are about to come for
ward asking for number OF millions to
complete the road, it is very desirable
that they should intelligently and frank
ly state how much they require to finish
up the job. By this time they can tell us
about how much more money is needed.
They should be certain to ask enough,
because the people OF the city--the tax
payers-will not want to be called uponi
the third time. II the proposition is put
before us in busipess-like way, in a
Straightforward, unequivocal manner,
the money will be voted.

ments without reference to the ultimate
cost. But we look now for different
course from the present Board. Let
them tell us how much is necessary in
addition to the ten millions. Let them
be careful not to repeat the follies OF the
past, but tell us what has been done,
what is to be done, and the cost thereof.
Those who have thus far managed the
business from the beginning need not be,
are not, in ignorance of what is wanted
and what is actually needed.
They can in their statement omit all
about doing the job for much less than the
estimates and all about the enterprise
paying 8 per cent. on the cost. There are
thousands Of tax payers in Cincinnati
whose opinions on these matters are
worth as much as the opinions of the
Trustees. The people have great faith
in them and propose to stand by them,
but it is upon the theory that they under
stand now what they are about; that the
city must have the work completed,
and because, upon the highest authority,
it won't do to put hand to the pIow
and look back.
Nobody supposes 1t will pay any per
cent. upon fifteen millions or upon ten
millions, but the work must be complet-
ed speedily, and to this end, we repeat,
let the Trustees make full and COM
plete statement of what they want and
what is needed, and the taxpayers will
not be found wanting.
And we are the more urgent about this
at this time because it will be an ele-
ment to be considered at our next cleo
tion, and it is vastly more important to
us as city and county that the South
ern road should be put in running order
than that hummer Roe or hummer Doe
should go to the Legislature, or that
Hayes or Allen should be Governor.

Music in the small parks is what our
people really appreciate. There is no
objection to the bands at Eden and Bur-

can lose half day from work to listen
to them. In the small parks people go
to hear the music after the days work is
done.

Springfield (Mass.) Republican:
The republicans don't find so much
comfort in the election results as they
did at first; nor is their decrease OF
satisfaction balanced by increase OF
consolation to the democracy the
gain is, on the whole, to the independ-
ent voter, who, more clearly than ever,
holds the balance of power. The
majority for the Tilden-Bigelow state
ticket in New York rises, on the full
returns, to over 1900, and, if the
voting was to be done over again, to-
day, it would be at least $4,000. The
revelations of the alliance between
the old Tammany corruptionists and
the canal ring, on the one hand, and
the republicans on the other, are fol-
lowed by considerable discomfort, not
10 say remorse, among the better class
of republican voters. The democratic
or conservative victory in Mississippi
is absolutely complete, and, on the
whole, quite satisfactory. In Mary
land the democratic party ticket has
$4,000 majority over the combined
republican, reform aud know nothing.
In Minnesota the republican majority
is 10000 with Legislature two to
one, but Wisconsin is drawn game,
the governor being republican by 1000
majority, the state treasurer democrat,
and the Legislature so close as to be
disputed. Kansas and Iowa give
something like their old republican
msjorities, the granger movement in
politics having "busted up" there. In
Pennsylvania, the full figures reduce
, the republican majoity for Gov
$ Hartranft to less than IS, 900, or below
> the reform democratic majority in New
! York. There was a petty third-teru
|. demonstration aud rejoicing over th'
: republican victories in Washington
last Saturday night, under the auspice
!, of Boss Sheppard and bis crowd. l
