The New York correspondent of the “Daily Telegraph” gives an extraordinary picture of the financial condition of Chicago. He describes it, in detail, as virtually bankrupt. Every department of municipal duty is collapsing for lack of money, the municipal employees are being docked of a fifth of their salaries, and, unless the Legislature cornea to the (rescue the city will have to go into the hands of the receivers. No explanation of this extraordinary state of things is Vouchsafed, but we are left to imagine (that it is another result of municipal corruption. The writer adds that, in the matter t>f vice, the city is “ the worst on dearth.” Of a truth, it all makes rather an ugly story.
