granary of America,—the great depot from 
which Aaaarieaa* distrWmtea food to all 
eotmtrie*. Tkoavgh the aaaat ef the-* bad toe 
very clear idea of the geography «f Chicago, 
they kneVllwaea'iSlJr'*f 
mhny wonderful 
things, a city to »Weh* maay ef their coda-
try men had gone, and where many at,ahem 
had become rich. All ever Barope, in every 
village and hamlet, where there were peo^o

the name of Chashgo waa familiar. It is not 
eurpriHieg, ^1» ia)Mi, that when the news 
waa received that Chicago was in aahea and 
her people 
hoaaeleas and suffering, the 
monrnfitl fact attracted universa! aUention 
and elicited amiveraal sympathy. 
In England, however, the action taken to 
afford relief has been peculiarly impressive, 
Money, clothing, blankets, and tools have 
been contributed and forwarded with remark-
able li baraMty. Bat the generons bearte have | 
recognised in Hie deetrnefcion of thiectty 
something more than a* ocoaaion to feed the 
hungry, clothe the naked, and shelter the 
homeless. They know that there have been 
other lessee than the destruction cf haiki-
ings, of warehoases, and of goods. The Ur. 
telleotual nlaaien of England readily under-
stood that a great city .like |hp\JlfJ f*ik#r 
losses than of grain elevatQrs and dwelling 
bouses. They knew that the libraries of the 
city—those formations of slow growth, those 
accumulations of idCceaarve lifetimes, were 
not so easily restored, yet or inpalealable 
loss to an in.tel,liffl>nt and thoaghtf ai peopaa. 
The same hands that sent us money to bay 
food and' clothing contributed to replace, in 
the 
form, 
of 
a 
pablifi 
library, 
the 
irreparable 
loss 
of

many

collections of books. The value of such a

It is a 
graceful 
token of the tie that binds the JS nghsh-speak-

will live forever in the history of the rebudt 
city. This coimibatiaii of books settles the | 
queetiou of a free public library i a Chioago,

may know that the sonny beams which

the

into 
life 
in _ the

are' the

many thousand years ago, and who are no 
more to us than the man in the moon. So 
we shall see them buried in a low vegetable 
existence w|tb l«*» compunctions than] i f

LEC1¥M 
BUSUf'ESS, 
The people Of Chieago are patronizing lec-
tures maeh better this winter than ever be-
fore. This may be accounted one of the 
good results Of the fh« ; though it must be 
confessed that the lecture courses which have 
been offered for our patronage in past, sea-
sons were such as it were no great credit to 
patronize. There are nut few good lecturers 
left in the field, so demoralized has the lec-
ture business become during the past 
fits 
J years, through the operations of "lecture 
bureaus," and the crowding forward ef sensa-
tional and ©lap-trap performers upon the 
platform ; hut the good ones who are still 
before the public are nearly afl to be heard 
by the people of Chicago during the present 
eeaifen, There are two courses organised, of 
which one, tha "Star* oourte, can boast that 
it has not a single clap-trap, or sensational 
kctnrei, tipon its l i s t

n««BtQ*>re. 
Hie 
book 
thereon 
has 
beoa 
reprinted* 
in English at Boston, and deserves notice m 
a part of the current literature of the day. 
at. Piguier is no mere idls romancer, who 
makes a book to sail. H e has studied his 
eu bjeet, and endeavored to make his theory 
symmetrical, and to base it upon truths 
which lie either in the natural sciences, or 
In the instincts of man, albeit he has, (being 
able to evolve his heaven and hell in great 
measure attt of the depth of his inner con-
sciousness), had a less toilsome job than 
the men who plod through «jmei*§ and gmmra, 
classes and f amiliesof the animal kingdom, 
or dissect patiently atom after atom, and 
film after film of creation nadir the object 
glass of the microscope. 
II. Figuier lost a beloved son, and became 
thereby more than usually interested in the 
problem of the future existence.. 
Being's 
"scientist," his first recourse was naturally 
to his olofie*. He found t h e n iaadequate, 
and went I t "iui«rriewia§»' simple, unlet-
tered peasants to discover the principles of 
nature, as revealed through their instincts 
and aspirations. From th ese sources, aided 
by his own masoning powers, M. Figuier 
has constructed hia singular theory. 
According to this theory, man has in him 
three elements: 
body, life, and so A. Of 
these, only the 'soul survives the physical 
death ; this part rises to a place in the ether, 
beyond the atmospheres of the earth and 
other planets, where it is re-embodied and 
endowed with many new faculties. 
There 
would seem to be, according to oar French-
man's theory, a certain degree of life charac-
terising this second stage of existence ; but 
it is much less than hero—nothing of tail-
ing or striving, nothing oi eating or drinking, 
nothing of Mies Phelps' piano playing, and all 
that fudge, aad not evea any of the good old 
orthodox conceit of singing psalms around 
the throne of God, but simply a beatific aad 
satisfied sort of existence, distinguished by 
the rapture which springs from a great' in-
flux of knowledge and by a condition of 
floating about and enjoying one's tell gen-
erally. 
The good alone attain this state at ©nee; 
the wicked, after death, are disposed of 
after the manner of a bad scholar at 
who ia commanded to do his task 
for not having done it rightly at 
That 
is, the 
tools 
which . are 
imperfect 
in 
quitting 
their 
tabernacle are condemned to re-enter

or developing stage. As the

the Chieago public, and he proved to be not 
only an actor and humorist of brilliant pow-
ers, but a thinker and reformer whose lec-
ture was crnwded;:..jrith wholesome lessons. 
These lectures, given in each of. the two 
remaining 
divisions 
of 
the 
city, 
are 
patronised by audiences so large and so emi-
nently respectable' as to throw completely 
into the shade.aU jmvious attempts .at" t i e 
{ lecture business in Chicago. Indeed, the suo-
oess ef this 
lecture course 
is said to 
eclipse that, of any other season ever expe-
rienced in any city. This sudden turn in the 
course of public entertainments is attributa-
ble, in a large measure, to the sudden loss of 
facilities for giving flrst-class theatrical per-
formances, and the superior cheapness of 
the lecture; but it is also BO doubt, largely 
due to the merit of the lecturers themselves. 
In view of these facta it might be asked 
whether the fire bad not, among its other 
effects, 
brought 
out 
tn 
the pop-
alar 
mind 
an . 
appreciation 
of 
intellectual things wMch'dfd not heretofore 
exist, or which was latemt, to say the least. 
fat proof of this, it might be cited that Emer-
son, who has never " drawn " well ia Chieago 
before, and who lectnred afew days agCin 
Philadelphia to an audience of 200 people and 
over S,000 empty teate, filled completely the 
large auditorium of the Michigan Avenue 
Baptist Church, holding nearly a,500 people. 
It is a good symptom when hard, polished 
thought attracts the public in this way—a 
symptom for which we can, perhaps, afford 
to do without the clamor of the battle 
drums, and the bewildering maze of ballet

BBl€tBaafTtW*Q DOM, 
Brigham Young's organ, at Salt Lake City, 
in one of its belligerent artieles against the 
evils of monogamy and the foibles of repub-
lican government, propounds the following 
conundrums to the Gentiles, on account of 
oar proposition that Brigham and his elders 
should '* move on n if they wish to continue 
their polygamous practices: 
We should Ute to ask for tiie first justifiable 
such exodus being required of 
The Boston Jovrxal 
states that strong ef-
re making in that city to have the | 
present duty on salt repealed. 
This is'a 
highly commendable movement. 
The peo-
ple of New England, it is hoped, will soon 
learn that it is possible that taxes levied for 
the benefit oi a few in tercets in that section, 
[ a n d which produce no revenue, may be as 
irksome to the country generally as they 
dud the tax on salt, add iron, and lumber to 
be to themselves. The Journal states that in 
consequence of the tax on salt "some 110,000,-
000 goes annually into the hands of the salt 
monopolists, while the'United States Gov-
ernment receives in revenue from the collec-
tion of the tax only $1,20*000 yearly." 
Of 
course, any other tax which operates in the 
same way must of necessity be as unjust as 
the tax on salt. If the Boston Journal will 
examine the'report of the? Bureau of Statis-
t s * it will ind that .during the twelvemonths 
ehdibg June 80,1870, there were importedintw-
the United States from foreign 
countries 
woollen shawls to the value of I*36,dt0, 
mostly of the expensive kind, for which a 
rpvenne of Hl8,50& was collected, and that, 
daring the same time, there were imported 
blankets having a value of $1,520, upon 
which a tax of $t,©4 was collected. 
This 
tax on shawls and blankets is prohibitory 
upon ail but th«r! specially fine grades not 
made in this country. The increased oost of 
shawls and blankets to the American peo-
ple, sansed b y this tax; is probably not less 
than 
$1M|000,000 annually. Two hundred 
thousand pairs of blankets—the ordinary 
blankets, in addition to the regular supply, 
—have been needed in this city alone as a 
result of the i r e . For each pair of these 
blankets oar people have paid $2.50 more 
than they would have had to pay were it not 
for the tax imposed by the tariff. Our 
impoverished people, 
out oi the scanty 
proporticsl of their insurance money, have 
paid $500,100 tax on their blankets, hot «oe 
dollar of which was received by the govern-
ment, and which is nearly Ave hundred times 
greater than th© whole amount of revenue 
collected annually in the whom 
United 
States from the tax on the article. 
The t a x 
collect ed o i the same people on shawls is not 
probably less than thai paid by them on the 
blankets. 
While our Boston friends are de-
voting their energes to the removal of the 
odious tax on salt, let them remember that in 
this city alone, from the victims of the fire, 
nearly, if not fully, one million of dollars has 
been extorted for tax on blankets and 
j shawls,—the whole of which tax has been 
paid to the manufacturers of those articles. 
Lei them remember also that there are forty 
millions of people from whom this tax ia col-
lected, and perhaps Boston may unite with 
the country generally iu asking that this ter-
rible tax .fwhich yields no revenue, may be re-
pealed at the same time with the tax on salt.

A few days ago 'Professors Barkuess and Hall 
succeeded In obtaining a spectrum of Eueke's 
comet. The spectrum consisted of two bright 
bands on the grew portion of' the ribbon of light, 
the light being meet intense ia the middle of each 
bead, aad shading off gradually toward the 
edges. The wave lengths were respectively so* 
and 498 one-millicutha of a millimeter. Theae ob-
servations tend to prove, what has been several 
times asserted in Tun TsistrKa, that this comet 
constats simply of a cloud of gas, m a glowing 
state, and contains very little matter. 
We have 
stated it as probable that the comet would scarce-
ly weigh a single ton if it could be brought down 
to a pair of scales on the earth's surface.

The Indianapolis Journal, 
in a double-
leaded paragraph addressed to " capitalists," 
thus states an important fact: 
Recent experiments have demonstrated the 
fact that Bessemer steel rails can be made in In-
diana at a cost of from 120 to 130 less per ton than 
the price of foreign rails delivered In Ne w Tor* 
City. Capitalists m Chioago are engaged in the 
Jelly of freighting Indiana pig iron and Indiana 
coal to that city, for the manufacture of steel 
raila, which cost 9& per ton more than if mad© in 
Indiana. 
If Bessemer steal 
rails can be manufac-
tured in Indiana at an average of $35 per ton 
less than they can be imported for, then the 
, duty on Bessemer steel is not needed to pre-
vent foreign competition, and is collected of 
the public as so much additional profit for 
the manufacturers. The duty on Bessemer 
steel may, tbwfore, be ifidjaeed 130 per ton 
j without breaking up the business either in 
Jltdiana or Chicago, and the redaction would 
cheapen the cost of relaying our railroads 
wMJuteel rails, and consequently reduce the 
cost of transportation. This important fact 
having been thus brought to the knowledge 
of the Senators and Representatives in Con-
gress from Indiana, the oo an try may, we 
suppose, look to the earnest co-operation of 
these gentlemen in having that tax removed 
at the present session of Congress. The_re-
peal of that tax would make a difference of 
$120,000,000 e# $80,000,000 a year in the con-
struction and renewal of railroads iu this 
country, and Without any loss of revenue to 
the government. 
The delay which has attended the prepara-
| tion and passage of a bill for the restoration 
of land records in Cook County has been of 
no liftle advantage to the community. By 
this delay we have been spared the infliction 
of useless and vicious legislation. We have 
been kept out of the jaws of chancery. Wo 
have been, enabled ..to ascertain with,some. 
clearness what we do not want, and that is a 
good deal. Many sales of real estate have 
been made since the destruction of th* rec-
ords, and many loans have been effected 
upon mortgage, without other evidence of 
title than abstracts 
made 
or 
"brought 
down " since the fire. Possibly a few weeks 
more may disclose that onr wants are nei-
ther so numerous nor so pressing as we now 
consider them to be. 
We publish elsewhere a letter from John 
Borden, Esq., on this subject, which 
will, 
undoubtedly, attract attention from the high 
reparation of the writer as a real estate 
f g | | m f . The general drift of Mr. Borden's 
letter would indicate that, in his opinion, no 
legislation is required. If the existing evi-
dence of title (bo the same more or less) were 
in a condition to be preserved and perpetu-
ated, and if the public had assurance 'that it" 
would not be tampered with, probably no 
legislation at all would be hatter for us than 
any. legislation we are likely to get.

but they refused to do so. They allowed him to 
use toe load of hose himself. His testiraoay was 
essentially that of Messrs Peter and Thomas 
Burtis, given a day or two ago.

thought the blowing up of building* wa* abso-
lutely necessary. The Are could not have been 
checked without blowing them up. He believed 
It was owing to the efforts made there by the 
Mayor, Comnussioner Sheridan, and those who 
were with him on Harrison street, that the Are 
was cheeked at tba* point. Michigan Terrace 
could have been saved with aaother engine. 
ISAAC U XIUXK.KM, 
ex-Police Justice, said toe depot of the Rock Is-
land Railroad was fall of passenger ears, which 
might all have been saved if there had been any 
railroadmen there. 
There were no switch en-
gines there at all, nor railroad employes.

was called and testified, but his testimony con 
tained nothing new. The Are was Anally checked 
en Hamson and Congress streets, between 11 and 
19 o'clock on Monday. 
The beard then took a recess till 2 o'clock. 
The board again got to work to the afternoon at 
2:40 cQcIoek. 
MATT BENWSB 
then made his statement. He Is Third Assistant 
Fire Marshal. There were many of tee engine 
companies which worked on the Saturday night 
Are for eighteen hours. He told the Economy's 
foreman to go to too north of DeKoven street 
and left one stream to the rear. He went te toe 
Little Giant's stream, and found it east of Mrs. 
0'I*ary>a cottage. In passing to th* barn 1* 
was compelled to tear down a fence. From tots 
Somt for a long time toe statement was super-
uously tedious, dry, uninteresting, and irrele-
vant. Mr. Moore wanted him to go away from 
Where be was stationed, but he thought it better 
to stay. 
When he thought the Are was 
checked on the corner of Forquer and Caua 
streets, he learned that aaother had broken out 
on the *outh Bide of Forquer street, west of 
J-*---^•!*--• **-«* of Pat McBride's. He went 
into the house and found all the furniture re-
moved ; tee bed tick emptied on the floor, aad toe 
*£*.? 1& -"V flet *H*"bt- He determined to save 
that building. As soon** he could move tne en-
gine wlto eafety he did so, and ordered MeLaaa 
to put a plug stream on the hydrant that the en-
gine had left. He crossed the river by Twelfth 
street bridge, and found a large frame building 
on toe corner of Harrison aad Clark streets 
on tire. 
It 
was 
a 
Jewish 
synagogue. 
He 
found 
it 
was 
lath 
aad 
plaster 
and it was impossible to put toe Are out. Mr. 
Carter Harrison got an axe for him, but he saw 
it was useless, and told the foreman of the T. B. 
Brown to remove his stream and wet the sur-
rounding buildings. He met Sobank, and said he 
was going east He went down to Congress 
street, and, on coming back, found the Brown 
•till at work on Fourth avenue, near Harrison 
street. Bis statement thereafter 
contained 
nothing other than what has already been pub-
lished. The Long John was the only engine sent 
to the South Side. The foreman bad been ex-
cused, to look after his sister. A judicious in-
quiry a* to what money he received elicited the 
following facts: Mr. Ryerson, foreman, paid 
money to 
some 
parties. He paid Benner 
(the 
witness) 
9990: he made 
"presents" 
to the Little Giant, Wabansia.J. B. Rice, Jake 
Rehm aad Sherman, the foreman (John McLean) 
and two foreign companies. 
He gave two com-
panies f*W apiece—the Giant and wabansia. Tne 
rest received $300 apiece. 
There waa no under-
standing for any special services to be rendered. 
He could not understand this generosity on tits 
part of Messrs. Ryerson & Co., except that they 
were *avedfrom being burnt out. He did not 
think tola generosity had anything to do with the 
retention of South Side apparatus on the West 
Siae. The foreman of the lumberyard said "Matt, 
you look after us, wont you 1" and Benner said 
r*all right." He saved Ryeraon's yard from being 
burned. None of their lumber was destroyed. 
He did not know of any city engines forcing 
water f mm the West Side on the Seuth Side coal 
yards. He could not state how long the Waban-
sia remained on the West Side. It might have 
bees until Wednesday; he could net tell when the 
Long Joan went back to the South Division. He 
did not see an order signed by Commi<4sioner 
Sheridan, directing four engines to go down to 
theUake shore aad pomp water into the City 
water mains. 
It was an Uncommon thing 
to 
receive 
anything 
for 
extinguish-
ing 
Arcs. 
Only 
once 
he 
had 
received money, and that was 95, for doing his 
duty. 
He supposed the foremen divided the 
money among their men, but didnt ask anything 
about it. The only money he heard of being 
offered was by a man owning a building on the 
' southeast corner of Jefferson and DeKoven 
streets, who was offering 9-00 to any man who 
would save his building. He believed several 
parties contributed to the 92,100 distributed by 
Mr. Ryeraon's foreman, among them the dock 
companies. This witness occupied one hour and 
a half, hia remarks being brought to a close at «:10 
o'clock. 
LOBEKS WALTER, 
Second Assistant, went down at the second alarm. 
The Water Work* had a composition roof. His 
hopes were that the wind would die away. 
He 
concluded at 4:80. 
JOHN SCHAKK, 
. 
First waatatent, waa allowed half an hoar to tes-
tify. Hia statement has already been published 
in THB TajsvRB. 
He considered it bis duty to 
move the rlock island oars. It was his duty to 
send for engines, and did so, but they didn't come 
around, and he didn't kn)w what else to do. The 
buildings on Sherman street, from Taylor street 
north, 
were on Are. A pile of lumber 
opposite the Michigan Avenue Hotel, caught fire 
and threatened the building. One engine at toe 
foot of Taylor street would have saved acme 
bulldinga. The blowing up of build togs on Har-
rison street did good. An offer was made to the 
Brown's teen, at the corner of Harrison and State 
steeeta. by Mr. Mendel, of 9990, if they would save 
his buildiag. They didn't save it 
He didn't re-
member teat Williams told him " to go to h—L" 
as Sweeny stated. His testimony was brought 
to a close at 6:02. 
ROBERT A. WTLLIAKS, 
Chief Fire Marshal, did not know anything of the 
origin of tee Are. He did not go down until the 
second alarm. He did not go to bed till 7 o'clock 
on Sunday morning. He crossed Randolph street 
bridge, and went down Desplaiaes street;. When 
be got to Harrison he found he had gone the 
wrong way, and had to drive to Halsted street, 
thence to Taylor. Two houses, two barns, and a 
lot of little outhouses were oa Are. There waa a 
regular neat of Are there. He encouraged the 
beys, saying, " Hang on to her, she's gaining ou 
us." The Illinois being short of men he helped the 
boys with their pipe. It was hot. He ran to 
the east aide and saw the America hose. The 
buildings were smoking and ready to light Dor-
sey waa than sent to turn to a second alarm. 
Before they could get the water on the building 
it was aut off. He found the foreman of the Wa-
buusia had done it. Before it waa on again the 
whole centre of the block, between Taylor and 
Forquer streets, was on Are to about a minute 
and a half, Four stream* were on E wing street, 
and he teought it waa all stopped, when the 
church got afire. That was three btoeksaway. 
The wind waa blowing ao hard he knew he ceoid 
not throw a stream there. 
Accordingly he 
fare order* to have to* lonases tedder up. 
weeny eame up aad asked him what to do. Ail 
the near phage were occupied, and he had not 
hose enough to take any other. He told S weeny 
to do hia Mat. The ladder No. l was broken in 
half and lying on the ground. The smoke waa 
very dense. Sweeny said he could get on the 
flat roof of a house and play on the ohareb. The 
steeple dropped right down into tee church. 
There was a drug store on toe corner of Clinton 
which took Are several times. He went down to 
Bateham'a mill. The yard waa full of ahavinga, 
and the Are fell thicker 
than amy snow-
flukes, and 
the mill* 
caught 
scon after-
ward. 
On hearing of tee 
fire ou the 
South Bid* he went over by Madison street brides 
and begsAWcrktog north of toe Gas Works. Hia 
statement differedIn no way from that published 
in TnsTatatiKK, or the testimony of Mr. HUdreth 
and other*, (except to length.) When toe Water 
Worka burned he gave up all hopes, and masting 
the Long Jean boys who ten him their engine

Th* Northwestern Railroad people asked him 
to save their depot. Whiteworirteg there he saw 
a great bls» mass rolling down «a teem, which he 
subsequently found out to be chemicals from tee 
telegrai* battery. He epuld have aaved the 
depot if the water had not given oat. He

The water was obtained from aa adjof '

of 
three 
millions 
of 
the 
money 
expended by the city to deepening the Illinois 
and Michigan Canal; and the wise provision made 
by the Legislature for the application aud use of 
that fund, limiting it to the payment of Interest 
on our city debt, and to the restoration of public 
buildings and bridge* as they were before the 
fire, thus protecting the city's credit amply, and 
preventing any painful and unfortunate sche tntag 
for change, were noble, generous, and highly pro-
tective acta, for which our heartful thanks and 
laeting gratitude are eminently due, not only to 
the Governor and members of the Legislature. 
bat to the entire people of the State whom they 
represent. 
I 
The commendable and becoming action of the 
citiasens of Chicago, in the midst of their trials 
and afflictions, in laying aside party considera-
tions in their bite municipal election, and agree 
tog, irrespective of those considerations, mainly 
upon a selection of oar best men to administer 
the affairs and manage the finances of the city in 
this crisis that is upon us, wits ateo eminently 
wise and creditable, and not only was highly ad-
] vantegeous to all our beef interests at home, but 
gladdened the hearts and commanded the respect 
of tile millions cf good people, 
throughout 
th© civilised world, whose sympathies to our 
great misfortune have been so 
universally 
aroused and so touohmgly expressed in every 
way, and whose bountiful contributions to our 
aid aad relief, so far exceeding anything that the 
world has ever before seen, has laid us under 
correspondingly great obligations, always to be 
cherished and remembered. 
Naturally, after such suffering from fire as has 
befallen us, we are all keenly sensitive and anx-
ious that every precaution should be taken that a 
calamity that has destroyed so many happy 
homes and"hopes, and entailed such wide-spread 
sorrow, shall not be repeated; and we very prop-
erly look about us for a bettor manner of build-
iag, and bettor materials to build with, and have 
a desire that wooden buddings and sidewalks 
shall not hereafter be permitted. 
Whenever commercial and important business 
operations are to be carried ou, and the questions 
of rent, iuauranee, and safety of valuable goods, 
papers, and other things, are involved, the inter-
ests and income of every let-owner and builder, 
warned as as ha* now been, will abundantly 
prompt him to build better aad safer than ever, 
so far as be is at all able to do so; and judicious 
official action, oompattble With existing cireum 
stances and possibilities, might well be taken now 
to secure auck results. 
The case, however, seems to me to be widely 
I different to regard to dwellings not to Imme-
diate 
contact 
with 
places 
of 
business. 
The 
capital 
and 
available 
means 
of 
a great 
many of cur business men have 
been sadly reduced by fire and. unavailing insur 
aaee. To use aay portion of their remaining 
means in building dwellings still further reduces 
their impaired business capital, now more than 
ever important to their credit, success, ana re-
newed prosperity. It does not materially affect 
the question ef the manufacturing, mercantile, 
and commercial capacity and business of Chicago, 
or its progress and expansion, whether the men 
engaged in conducting these affairs live to small, 
cheap 
wood cottages, and houses quickly 
erected and got ready for their houseless families 
to occupy, or whether they live to etegant brick 
and stone mansions of larger coat. The differ-
ence hi mainly one of personal comfort to them-
selves, aad does not affect their public or private 
usefulness, efficiency, or auocessas business men 
But costlier brick or atone edifices, with fire-proof 
reofs and cornices, would materially affect to* 
usefulness and success of those whose means 
have been reduced by Are, if the cost Of such 
dwellings Impairs atill more toe capital now ao 
much needed, and so generally Indispensable to 
success and the restoration ef lost fortune*. 
We made our money generally In Chioago while 
living to cheap wood houses aud store*. Aa aeon 
as we were able we moved them back, and re-
built of brick, stone, and iron, 
I apprehend it ia wise, If not inevitable, in the 
burnt district of residences, chiefly on the North 
Side, that this be allowed to be done again. 
The effect of a restriction to building of brick 
and stone, and of atone sidewalks, to the 
f
reater 
part of that 
district, 
could not, 
think, 
fail 
te 
largely 
depopulate it. 
Snch action and effect would not only prove to be 
Chicago's first great mistake, but would be a 
great wrong at the eame time. It would be 
as much as to say to thousands who own tote, bat 
have lost everything else by the Are. You must 
rebuild of brick or stone, or, If too poor to do that, 
can have no house at all; thns adding penna-
nt m-y to their otherwise temporary misfortune 
and destitution. 
Tf the people are left, to districts heretofore 
occupied chiefly by residences, shops, and small 
stores, to rebuild of wood or brick, a* their means 
will admit, they will thrive; and, as their ability 
increases, 
teey 
wiB move off their 
wood 
tenements 
aa 
heretofore,—still 
occupying 
them, however, until they have built anew upon 
the old sites, of brick and stone. This, we all 
know. Is the process by whlofa Chicago had at-
tained her eminence before the fire, and it seems 
to me clear that her burnt districts, except in the 
heart of the commercial portion of the city, must 
of necessity repeat that process. If left free to 
do so, the retarding effect ef the fire to the on-
ward progress and growth of Chicago, and 
to toe magnitude of her transactions, will, 
I 
apprehend, be essentially 
overcome by 
the 
end of 
another 
year; 
and, when 
the census of 1875 is taken, and the population 
and the commercial statistics of that time are 
presented to toe publle.they will probably show, 
notwithstanding the grave calamity Inflicted up-
on us by our recent unparalleled conflagration, 
which will long leave behind it many Sighted 
hopes and broken fortunes, and will entail life-
long sorrows upon many of that goodly company 
of energetic, hopeful men who struggled oo so 
manfully aad joyously together to male Chicago 
what it was—that,a© far as the Increase of the pop-
ulation and the business of Chicago is concerned, 
scarcely a trace of its effects will remain or be 
perceptible to the census and statistics cf 1875. 
The country behind us—the great Northwest— 
which made Chieago, and forces her on, from 
year to year, more and more rapidly, is not, ex-
cept to her sympathies for ©ur great loss, affect-
ed by the Chicago Are, and her borders were 
never being extended so fast, so broadly, or so 
far, by railways, by settlements, Improvements, 
and added people and wealth, as now: and Chi-
cago's future and "manifest destiny" as a great 
metropolitan Western city was never so assured. 
Throughout a majority of the years of Cui-
caso'a existence we lived and doae business 
mainly to wood buildings. In them we suffered 
more or less from occasional flies, some of which 
were qoite severe; but our greater and more 
desti uiti ve fires have taken place since we have 
changed our structures largely to brick and 
stone,—at times originating to such improved 
buildings, and of the better class. It is only on 
She ground of general 
necessity, however, 
that the construction of 
wood 
buildings 
should 
be 
freely 
permitted. 
81nce tee 
fire, 
that 
necessity, 
unhappily, 
urgently 
exists; and it ia to be hoped, therefore, on fur-
ther consideration, that our City Council, yield-
ing to such necessity, may not for the present 
make the effort to prohibit their construction. 
Should such prohibition be attempted new, it 
roust, of necessity, force many of our greatest 
sufferers by the Are—to their personal injury, and 
to the great injury and depreciation of their real 
estate, if teey have any, and to the injury of Chi-
cago—to leave it and find shelter elsewhere for 
their destitute families. Such action would be 
so unlike Chicago teat I cannot believe it will be 
entertained after da* consideration and inquiry 
tote the necessities that now surround us. 
- Aaother subject cf interest, especially to the 
South Side of our city, and also more or less af-
fecting the interests of the North Side, and to 
some extent the entire city, is the question of the 
occupancy of portions of the Lake Park front, oa 
the east side of Michigan avenue, south of Ran-
dolph street, for a Great Union Railway Passen-
ger Depot. In order to aecommodate the passen-
ger traffic of the Michigan aad Illinois Central 
Railroads, and of tho Chieago, 
Qutoey 
Railroad, Us braneb 
and connections, and, perhaps, of 
ii Ohio, and maybe other 
Sta^^nr**^^

capable of being made, had all the land and lake

raaged to contribute to tt* beauty, I don't know 
that any other city has; and it is much te be re-
gretted taut its beauty could not have been folly 
developed, and the avenue permanently main 
tamed ae a chosen spot as a promenade, and tor 
Iteantiful residences. 
Railways, however, have, for a long time, had 
ef Michigan avenue, and commercial 
rapidly taking the place of dwell

aolonger 
disposes of toe former desire and ambition 
to preserve it for elegant readoneea, aad raises 
the question as to what moat enhances, er de-
tracts from, tee value of this property for com-
mercial use*. 
Iu tills connection, and without reference to the 
question of the validity and extent of the interest, 
of adjacent owners to tee proceeds of any sale 
of this property (a claim to an equitable interest 
to which would at least be very natural), it will 
lie generally perceived and admitted, I think, that 
a Grand Uaion Passenger Depet there, to accom-
raedate 
the great roads mentioned, —with freight 
depots on tee present old depot grounds neces-
sary to their traffic and 
transportation,—would 
add immensely to the value of all the preperty 
upon, *r to the vicinity of, this Lake Park front; 
indeed, would tie of the first importance to the 
commercial 
character and value of the whole 
South Side, and the withdrawal of such depots, 
t-STel, and trade to other quarters, would be 
about the severest blow that could well be In-
flicted upon It. Indeed, the high value and price 
of property in that vicinity now are due, in a de-
gree, to the confident 
belief 
that all these 
things are surely secured to them. 
These railroad companies have long been Strug-
gltag and contending for a permanent, grand a a d 
liberal Union Passenger Depot there. They may 
have been censurable, possibly, to r o u e 
extent, 
for their acts and efforts to aecore their desired 
objects. But I do not propose, to inquire now 
whether they, or the real estate 
holders, have 
heea in all things right or not in their dlfferenoea j 
n e * differences are natural, and to be expected 
to like circumstances. 
What I desire ia to draw the attention of the 
people, of the commercial 
portion of the South 
Bide mpectotily, to the vital importance, to them.

is real danger, if their views aim conclusions are 
opposed too strenuously and too long (however 
exceptionable those views may be considered by 
the property interests involved), that they will 
deteimme te shange their location, and probably 
to the *e*tSide. 
How unfortunate such a cbaage would prove to 
the citizens of the South Side is too apparent to 
require comment. 
It is a desire that what ia well and right should 
be oontinaed as It to, and that disappoiutmaut 
and loa* should not come to those that rightful I w 
laaaeess, evea though all they lose should be added 
tii others of equal merit, that prompt* me to 
piceent these 
warnings for te* eonatdera-
ilou or those interested, it may be, for toe good 
of all. And, although ao prophet, I appre-
hend 
it to 
be but a 
plate, 
eomiuun-
trnse conclusion, nder existing circumstance*, 
—knowing the prompt aad decisive character of 
Mime of the men to be dealt with—that the ques-
tion of this great depot on the lake shore, or else-
where, will soon be definitely settled; and it be-
comes the people specially interested, without 
«tickling too much about what they may think 
exactly right, to yield to what may be necessary 
to secure an end of —>uch overruling importance 
to their property, bistoeas, and wealth. 
There la one other subject, to connection with 
lailroad matters, that 1 am desirous to allude to 
before closing this statement already too long : 
A bill has been introduced into the Legislature, 
prohibiting the admission of further railways 
using locomotives to the city. 
That existing railroads should desire to add 
millions to their franchises, by making their priv-
ileges exclusive, aad enabling them to compel 
all the new railroads, necessary and yet to be 
constructed, to do the increasing business of tku 
growing Western World (not yet half developed), 
to pay 
millions to them, te the cost of 
the 
producer, 
for 
the use of 
their 
existing 
roads 
tote 
the 
city, 
would 
not so much surprise me ; but, that anybody hav-
ing an interest in the welfare and future growth 
of Chicago, and having any appreciation of the 
country tributary to tt, or any perception ef the 
possible future wants and commercial demands 
of that country upon Chicago, should undertake 
BOW to measure them, or should claim to foresee, 
and to be so much wiser than events, as to at-
tempt now to limit the future necessities of Chi-
cago, does amaae me. 
Itrust no *uch short-sighted measure can have 
a ny standing er position in a Legislature having 
the development of the country, and the Interests 
aad economies of the people they represent, at 
heart-
Pleading the interest aad Importance of the 
questions under consideration to excuse for this 
long article to regard to them, I remain, with 
great reapect, your obedient servant.
