Just at this time the city of Phila-

the most sacred obligations of office
and debauching themselves and their
city in most disgraceful and Grim

Other great cities are cOngratulating
Philadelphia, and a very optimistic
view is being taken of the situation.
The Chicago Record-Herald says:
Every time that Philadelphia dis
closes a fresh variety of graft or cor
ruption there is reason for rejoicing.
These things had been hidden so long
that it had come to be part of the ira
ditional belief of Philadelphia politi-
clans and citizens alike that they would
never be exposed Now every fresh
exposure is fresh proof of the depth
TO which the public is stirred and a
fresh reason for believing that reform
will be thorough.
