The 200 persons estimated to have lost their lives in the conflagration formed a small number in comparison with those whose terms of existence were shortened by the agony of that fearful night and the succeeding tension of their nerves in the struggle to recover lost ground. Then it should be remembered that the great panic of September, '73, came upon us less than two years afterwards and did us more harm than the calamity of 1871.

For the corresponding Beven months ending July SI of due honor paid also to the memory of Mr. Tweed and other illustrious members of the society, who owe their renown to their ers all around them. As they are not 6trictly of Indian blood, having intermarried largely with whites, they are the ones upon whom to must be made free, and nearly everything now free must be made dutiable. That is the dictum he lays down for himself, Gov.

Campbell, and the Democratic party of Ohio. Just how much money Mr. Mdls expected to raise by his duties on articles now free he did not say, but he intimated that the sum total might be about $130,000,000. That would leave a deficit of say $50,000,000, which might be raised on whisky, beer, tobacco, and cigars. Then we would have the British system of revenue and free trade.

The great point in the Cincinnati speech is that at last the Democratic leader, the man who expects to be Speaker of the next House and to guide its policy, has come out flat-footed on the tariff question, not for himself alone but for the Democracy of the State of Ohio and of course its fourteen Democratic Congressmen, seven of them the offspring of the Democratic gerrymander.

A Fair begining in this year it took but 1,381,000 dozen. During the first named period eggs were admitted free during the last they paid a duty of five cents a dozen. The effect of this duty, which is about 33 per cent ad valorem, has been to cripple one of the most profitable of the small industries of the Canadian farmers. It has lessened their sale and driven down the price they have received for their eggs, both what they exported and sold at home. In this particular case at least the producer has had to pay the duty and not the consumer.

There has not been such an intense demand for Canadian eggs as to induce the Americans to pay that five cents a dozen extra in order to get them. At this time last year, just before the duty went into force, the price of eggs at Toronto was 18 cents a dozen. The price now is 13 cents. For that the Canadian farmers msy thank the Macdonald policy of adherence to a system of unfriendly legislation which taxes nearly all American products seeking a market in Canada. Soon after the MeKinley or reciprocal retaliation law went into force the Canadians were promised by their Tory statesman a new and ample market for their eggs in England and better prices than the Americans had paid them and they began shipments there with what success the ollowing extract the circular of a leading firm of English the spring of 1892 would be merely a prelude the position lost in the Bpace of a few hours.

Taxes on customsor revenue onl are the better taxes by far than any others, but no hint of protection must eggs here during the summer and early autumn months and work to advantage. The shipments received here during November to December and January to March have turned out fairly well, but as the conditions of cost are higher on your side the question remains whether the better value obtained here a3 compared with summer prices will really show any benefit. This market has been during the last few months flooded with French and continental descriptions, with ths result that prices have tumbled down wholesale. Hence it appears that the English market is a most unsatisfactory substitute for the American one. Tho price of eggs in the large cities of the United States being fully as high if not higher than in England, the Canadian either has to pay five cents a dozen to sell them here or 6end them to a much less profitable market 4,000 miles away with increased losses by spoiling and breakage.

It appears also from the price lists that the horses, barley, and beans which Canada used to send across the line in great quantities have been hammered down in value by the higher duties of the MeKinley law. The Americans are able to get along without them, and prices remain much the same as before, and therefore they will not pay the duty. Wherever the Canadians are forced to sell those thmgs, owing to their pressmg need of money, they have to pay the duty. No wonder that they emigrate sooner than live in such a country. Will these facts have any influence on the instructions to the Dominion Commissioners who are going to Washington soon? Will they be authorized to ask for the only kind of reciprocity the United States ever will grant a reciprocity which will permit the natural products of Canada un market had been pushed up by Deacon White's buying orders.

The value of the property It will be seen by a dispatch printed elsewhere that the United States new war vessel Yorktown sailed at noon on Wednesday last from New York for Valparaiso. She was ordered to sea with the greatest possible dispatch and was fully supplied with ammunition.

The haste with which she put to sea indicates perhaps that trouble is expected in Chilean waters. By consulting another article printed in this issue also it will be observed that the Queen of the Sandwich Islands is critically ill that her death is expected, and that already a heated rivalry has begun between the American ana English residents for control in case of the Queen's demise. It is possible, therefore, that the Yorktown has gone to Valparaiso to be on hand in case of trouble with the Junta. It is passible also that she is going to Honolulu to be on hand in case of trouble there, or she may be going to relieve our vessels now at Valparaiso so that they may go to the former port. It would be better if we had more vessels in the Pacific, where they may be needed, rather than on the Atlantic coast, where they are not needed at all.

There is room for some speculation growing out of these naval movements. It is calculated that the run from New York to Valparaiso will occupy forty-five days. The Yorktown must steam south 1,500 mdes to the West Indies, then the whole length of the South American coast and round the Horn, and then 2,000 miles up the coast.

It is unquestionably the ultimate purpose of the government to make citizens of the Indians, which would not be possible, however, without compulsory education. The point as made by the Commissioner must be admitted. The second suggestion made by Commissioner Morgan will invite discussion. It is contained in the following paragraphs 7.

If they are going to any other power they can only come to us. The people themselves are in sympathy with us and thy will do everything in their power to avert English domination. The islands are directly in the line of our commerce with China and Japan and of our growing trade with Australia. They are our sugar islands.

They are chiefly owned and operated by American capital. 'Three-fourths of the foreign residents are Americans. In case of the Queen's demise, therefore, we should either Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota, and other States, with a large colony in Texas. This great race element easily and naturally assimilated with the American people and their form of government, and in the war for the Union the Germans enlisted in fieat numbers and fought bravely for a restoration of the Union. In one point only they found themselves at variance with a considerable portion of the American people.

For many long centuries they had been accustomed to brew and to drink malt liquids. They did not take to whisky nor even strong beer. If this ancient Teutonic beverage and habit had not been interfered with when the prohibition movement began, and had the puritanic element allied itself to the German in a war against whiskies, the evils of which are recognized by Germans as well as by Puritans, and had they worked together in the substitution of beer for spirits practically, there would probably be no strong liquor sold in the North except for the arts and manufactures; and the great volume of wretchedness and crime due to whisky would have been prevented. But the puritanic enemies of all drinking were root and branch men who ruled out everything that contained any alcohol and made war on light beer- as strenuously a3 they did on strong whisky. The result was a bitter antagonism on the part of the whole German element in the United States, who wherever there were prohibition laws resisted them, because they did not consider it either a moral or religious offense to drink their national traditional beer, and because they did not consider the law which interfered with such a personal right either just or democratic.

Hence the adherence of the puritanic element to their sweeping position has driven the bulk of the German people away from their natural political affiliation and led them to ally themselves with the Celtic and Slavic elements with which they are not in natural affiliation. Just how this irrepressible difference on this sumptuary question can be harmonized and they can be got again to work together for the common welfare and for good government is something not easy to tell. The great mass of the German people have no sympathy with it. They are hard-working, industrious, law-abiding, good citizens, and they have brought with them a love for music, amusement, and innocent outdoor life and sports which has had a beneficial influence and Minnesota twelve months ago. As far as free silver is concerned the Sun is correct.

Mills has said that it should not bo pressed. He admits it would not heal existing evils. He is on his way over to the Republican platform on this question, in favor of an honest silver dollar, and it is not unlikely that in a short time he will be found insisting that every silver dollar must have on a specie- basis. For the last twelve months it is fully $1,500,000,000. Then we had few buildimzs of more than three stories in height, and the great majority were of pine.

Now the introduction of "lifts" ieruiits the construction of twelve to twenty stories, while steel and iron are gradually taking the lead of brick and marble in business blocks, as the iatter were beginning to contest the wooden monopoly for buildings just previous to the fire. We have now moderately well-paved streets in considerable portions of the city, and ample stoae sidewalks in place of the prairie mud and the pine planks of the pre-ineous period. We have now a comprehensive street-car service, the principal lines being supplied with cables, instead of a few short lines of horse-cars, and the electric light is fast taking the place of the gas of those other days. In fine, we have a metropolitan city ranking second in the United States, having risen from the fifth place in thetwo decades. Instead of being supposed in Europe to be a mere villago in the Far West, with Indians and buffalo roaming in our vicinity, the eyes cf the whole world are turned upon Chicago us the place in which will be fittingly held eighteen months hence the greatest Fair ever held celebrating the discovery of two continents.

It has often been said that the great fire was a blessing to Chicago, stimulating to expansion that would otherwise have Keen impossible, calling here new blood to Cow through our commercial arteries, attracting enterprising nicn from all parts of the earth, and awakening up the peoples of other lands to the fact of our existence by the appeal for aid in the time of our dire distress. But there is another side to the picture. The lire involved an utter loss of fully a hundred million dollars to the people this city after allowing for insurance paid from outsido and property owned elsewhere. That was $300 apiece for every man, woman, and child in enough silver in it to be worth a gold dollar. dians should be admitted, by special act of Congress, to the enjoyment of all the rights of citizens of tho United States, according to the principles of the Constitution," as contemplated by the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.

10. The definite determination by the highest authority of the actual political status of the Indians is necessary as a basis of wise legislation and to the satisfactory administration of Indian affairs. There is much force in the Commissioner's declarations in another place that Congress is a poor guardian of the Indian wards, that it is absurd for the guardian to recognize the wards as competent to make war, and that in our dealings with them they shall bo treated not as belligerents, but as subject and dependent people, capable, of course, of insurrection, rioting, or disturbance of the peace, but not of waging war." Hence he would have the social and political status of the Indian defined by the ordinary duties, privileges, and responsibilities of citizenship. Undoubtedly this is a step in the right direction and one which ultimately must be taken. The only question is as to its advisability at present.

Are the Indians sufficiently acquainted with our political system to be able to maintain a State or Territory? Would they not be for some time to come anomalies as citizens? On the other hand, if the general policy of the Commissioner were carried out, it tribal relations were broken up, if they took up lands in severalty, if their children were compelled to attend school and learn English, and if the adults were compelled to go to work there is little doubt that the Indians Boon would be on the road to citizenship. So far as the Indian Territory is concerned, if it were made into a State or Cleveland stands with Harrison for that pol icy. Ana tne Sun is also correct in saying Cassius M.
