The Great american Sheep Tick.

The New York Tribune is the accredit-
ed organ of Jay Gould, the railroad ma
nipulator. 1t favors the monopollsts who
compel farmers to pay exorbitant freight
rates for the transportation of their pro-
auctions, and the mouthpiece of the
money kings who are grinding the labor
ing classes into the dust. 1t is the paper
that published q letter recommending
the assassination of Gen. Grant while he
was president: it is the paper that most
vindictively bounded the late President
Garfield with the charge of official dis
honesty and corruption; it is the paper
that, on the eve of the rebellion, .advo-
Gated the policy of letting the "wayward
sisters depart In peace" and it IS the
paper which is now CHASING the men who
saved the Union among thieves, swind-
lers, and perjurers. Figuratively speak
ing, it is the great American journalistic
Sheep Tick. 1t burrows its repulsive
head IN the body polite, keeping its rear
well exposed, and sucks out the life blood,
leaving tumefaction where 1t has been
to mark its presence. 1t is now working
upon congress, endeavoring to create a
fostering sore that shall induce that body
to repeal the arrears of pension act. We
doubt the success of its endeavor; but
yet, knowing its persistency, which is
equal to that of its diminutive namesake
the sheep tick--we urge all who disire
to see justice maintained to unite with us
in scotching the pest by exposing it to the
blistering sun of public opinion and an
honest peoples wrath.

4 Political Jeren,y Bidder.

That Carl Shurz should advocate the
repeal of the arrears of pension act is not
to be wondered at. He was the ssTickle-
me-Tommy" of the late John A. Bentley,
and urged the passage of the infamous
sixty surgeon bill to the extent of his
ability. He was the Jeremy Diddler of
American politics, always endeavorlng to
s'raise the wind" During certain seasons
he has set price tor his performances
5000 per night and expenses
These seasons only occur, how
ever, during presidential CAM
paigns, when he let's himself out to
the highest bidder--no bid of less than
the amount above indicated being con-
sidered. AS editor Cf the New York
Post he is fitting co-laborer of the New
York Trs6une's chief. We sincerely
commend him to the execration, which
he justly deserves, of every man whose
patriotism caused him to lift hand in
defense of the Union upon the field of
honor. Schurz, though he wore our uni
form, was simply an adventurer-a po-
litlcal free lance, devoid of patriotic I'M
pulses OF sympathy for those with whom
he fought, and ignorant of even the COM
monest principles of justice, else he
would not now class his old comrades
(who though of humble rank, are never
theless the peers of the noblest in the
laHd) among thieves, s1indlers and
knaves, as he does when clamorlng for
the repeal of the Arrears of Pension
Act.

erclse its judgment He hoped the city
council would go right ahead and have
the streets paved; and he wished also to
see the city council 60 to work on sys-
tematic and comprehensive plan. He
would be glad also to see a cut stone
granite curling adopted. Fhis ought to
be put down. That fixes the grade at
once and forever
Mr.. Murray, the city attorney, made a
kind of explanation of the action of the
city council and the board of public
works. There was good ground to com
plain of the people of the city, for it of
ten happened that they would petition
for improvements, and then when the
council and board had proceeded to do
the work, and incurred good deal OF ex-
pense, they would come in and oppose it,
and also go into the courts and fight the
city. Other citizens never would make
improvements and continually opposed
all public improvements. 1t was very
difficult thing for the board and council
to understand what was wanted. 1t was
easy enough to get into the chamber and
declare in general way what ought to
be done, but the trouble was that when
the council come to do it it met with all
kinds of objection.
Mr.. Thomas Cochran expressed him.
self as opposed to adopting any
particular resolution in regard to
the matter as he did not regard
it as the duty of the chamber to instruct
the council and board of public works
He declared that some of our wealthiest
and heaviest owners of property stood
against the interest of the city by asking
enormously large prices for their prop
erty. He knew where $4,000 was in
sisted upon as the price Of piece that
| was not worth $4,000. He declared that
St. Paul ought to have sand enough to
order a section of the city from Third
street to Seventh paved with something,
and argued generally that st. Paul
ought to wake up to the ne
cessity of doing something i'm
mediately in regard to paving some OF
her most important streets, and declared
it was shame that five story blocks like
those in lower town should be erected in
mud holes, and where the mud from the
street ran into the basement of the build
ings. He condemned very forcibly the
nlggardly policy pursued by the people OF
St. Paul in declining to pave and improve
the streets.
Mr.. Dawson declared that there were q
coed many men who would not do any.
thing towards paving the streets. and thai
the city council. ought to go ahead
and compel them to contribute to improve
the city. The men that will not build
or sell or improve, ought at least to be
compelled to pave.
| Mr.. Willius offered as substitute that
the city should adopt general system OF
Improvements in certain districts of the
city, and pave some streets and McAdam
others
MIR. Oppenheim renewed his suggestion
to send some one to Chicago, and made a
formal motion to send committee from
the chamber and the city council. This
motion was not seconded, and almost al
the same time Mr. McClung made mo.
ton that the whole matter be postponed
to future meeting. This motion pre-
vailed, and the meeting adjourned.

Tie New York World descants with
some force on the spiteful attempt of a
narrow partisan to mix religion and poll
tics. The World says.
Mr.. George Ell. Hepworth, contribu
tor to the Herald, in an address before a
Republican meeting called in Brooklyn
on Thursday evening ''to protest against
Roman Catholic influence in American
politics and educational affairs,'' is re-
ported to have said that sit was utterly
impossible for thorough Roman Catho-
lie to be genuine American citizen, and
that he was afraid of the encroachments
of church which did not believe in the
eternal power of American institutions
and was entirely autocratic." 1t is the
opinion of this person that it is impossi-
BILE for General Sherman, for Lieutenant
General Sheridan, for ex-senator Ker-
nan and Mayor Grace to be genuine
American citizens''Y Who is Mr.. George
II. Hepworth, and what evidence has the
country of his "genuineness" as an
American citizen which entities him to
speak in this impertineht fashion of
American citizens who do not contribute
to the New York Herald, but who do con-
tribute to the support of church which
gave Charles Carroll of Carrollton to the
revolution and Chief Justice fancy to
the supreme bench of the republic?
