TUNNELING THE HUDSON,
The Work is Progressing at the Rate of Tu
Feet Day.


The double tunnel under the Hudson river.
which has been in process of construction for
fifteen years with many Interruptions from &C
cident and exhaustion Of capital, now stretches
5000 feet from the Jersey shore and is progress
ing at the rate of two feet per day. The entire
distance IS $500 feet, and the contractors ex-
pect to have the work completed before New
Year. 1888. The money is being supplied by an
English syndicate, and no expense is spared in
pushing the work. There are $50 men en-
ployed divided into three shifts. and they are
all experienced men and sound physically.
Every workman has to undergo a careful medi-
cal examipation and abstain from liquor The
enemy of the workmeh is the caisson fever or
what is known as the bends
When the tunnel is completed the railroads
depending on the Hudson at Jersey City and
HObOken will connect their tracks with the tun-
mel and run trains directly into New York The
tunnel will also be used for the pneumatic
transmission of express packages. for electric
wires and probably for water pipes to supply
the great dry goods district of New York with
an extra supply of water. In railroad traffic it
will have to compete with the projected new
Hudson river bridge, which will stretch from
the Bergen Hills 10 AID street and sth avenue,
but it will eventually connect with a vast tun-
mel system for rapid transit in New York and
under the East river. The English investors in
the tunnel have capital of twomillions. which
they are perfectly willing to sink under the
river in the expectation of future dividends.

Candor compels us to say that there is
no burning desire on the part of the
public to read the tariff serial which be-
gins in the Congressional Record OF this
morning. We believe that the general
indifference as to what members of the
Fifty.first Congress may say on the sub.
ject extends about equally to remarks in
favor of a protective policy and remarks
in the interest Of free.trade. This is be.
cause people get tired Of protracled rhetoric
over question which, for the present
at least, is closed. The great tariff debate
in Congress two years ago was dreary
enough, but it was to the point. The
question was before the country, Pres.
idential election was near at hand, The
lines were distinctly drawn, minds were
to be made up, and then it only remain.

Alas, for the lofty dreaming,
The lonssd-for high empriss,
For the man whoSe outer seeming
His inner self bellies
I looked on the life before me
With purpose high and true,
When the passions Of youth surged DER me
And the world was strange and new.
Where the hero-soul rejoices
would play The hero's part;
Ny ears wore attuned 10 the voices
That speak to the poets heart;
would conquer place In story
With soul unsmirched by sin
My head should be crowned with glory,
My heart be pure within.
But the hour that should have crowned me
Cast all high hope adown,
Aud the time Of trial found me
A sinner, coward, clown.
Ah which was the false or the real
(If the Powers above would speak y,
The saint with his high ideal,
The sinner whose flesh was weak.
The hero who yearned for Duty,
The coward whose sinews failed,
The poet who worshipped Beauty,
Or the clown whose uttersnce failed?
