The -work of filling the Lake Park with the broken bricks and other deiris of the burnt district progresses so rapidly that in a very short time the •whole area from Ran dolph street to Park row will be filled to the railroad track. The basin” has practi cally ceased to exist. The great change which has taken place with respect to prop erty in the South Division has but hastened the result which was rapidly approaching— the consignment of Michigan avenue to business purposes. It is not likely that any person will over build a residence on that avenue north of Congress street. To that point, therefore, Michigan avenue, south of Ran dolph, may bo regarded as much a business quarter as that segment north of Randolph. Whatever reason, there fore, may have heretofore existed for keeping Lake Park an open space, exists no longer. All that is left of a special nature is the out look upon Lake Michigan. This privilege is of no advantage to business property. On the contrary, it is highly advantageous for business purposes that both sides of the street should bo occupied. Here then is an area of twenty-five to thirty acres of land, extending from Ran dolph street to Park row, especially adapted to warehouses and wholesale estab lishments. Including the cross streets, there will bo over two miles of frontage. This property has been ceded to the city with the sole restriction that, when sold, the pro ceeds shall be applied to park purposes, to bo divided among the several divisions in the proportions of the value of the taxable property. Since that legislation was passed, a great and unforeseen change has taken place. The city has been reduced to strait ened circumstances. Millions of dollars’ worth of public property has been destroyed. The borrowing power of the city has been exhausted. We have an abundance of other than park property to improve. Tho whole North Division is an unoccupied waste, which it will require many years and many millions of dollars to rebuild. Many hundreds of acres in tho South Division have to bo rebuilt. Tho suburban parks must wait until Chicago has been rebuilt before public funds can bo diverted to their aid. But hero is this Lake Park—this twenty-five acres of land, worth many mill ions of dollars. Shall it remain idle and unproductive t Shall wo tax tho property which has been swept of all its productive mprovemonts to tho point of distress, when here, at tho very gate of the city, is an estate which may bo converted into money, sufficient to clear up all our municipal embarrassments, and place tho city on its legs again f There is no long er any reasonable pretext for maintaining Lako Park as a park. It should be converted to business purposes. If tho Legislature would repeal tho no longer applicable re striction directing tho use of the proceeds for park purposes, we should have at once tho means to pay onr debts, replenish our empty treasury, rebuild our public works, and continue onr permanent improvements, without grinding taxation. FEES AND SALABIES. The constitution was adopted in Angnst, 1871, and in November following the people of Illinois elected a Legislature specially charged with the duty of giving effect to tho reforms provided in that instrument. One of the evils which led to tho amendment o£ the constitution was that of the fees and emoluments of officers, and the special legis lation hy which in many cases those fees ■wore collected. Upon this point the con stitution was emphatic in its prohibitions and mandates. 1. The State officers are to receive fixed salaries, and, after the expiration of the terms of those in office in IS7O, no such officer shall receive to his own use any fees, or other compensation than the salary lised by law. 2. The Clerks of all conrts of record, the Treasurer, Sheriff, Coroner and Keoordor of Deeds of Cook County* shall receive, as their only compensation, salaries to he fixed by law, and shall ho paid respectively oat of the foes of the office actually collected. All fees and perquisites shall bo paid Into the County Treasury. 3. The county boards In other counties shall fix the compensation of all county offi cers, the same to he paid out of the fees of the office. 4. Tho fees of township officers, and of each class of county officers, shall ho uniform in, the respective classes of counties. The compensation provided for by tho constitu tion to apply to all officers elected after tho adoption of tho constitution. 5. “All laws fixing the fees of State, coun ty, and township officers shall terminate with tho terms, respectively, of those who may be in office at the meeting of tho first General Assembly after tho adoption of tho constitu tion; and tho General Assembly shall, by general law, uniform iu its operation, pro vide for and rcgulato tho foes of said officers and their successors, so as to reduce the same to a. reasonable compensation for ser vices actually rendered.” All laws of the Stato fixing tho fees of township officers expired on the first Mon day in April, 1871; and all laws fixing tho fees of County Treasurer and Surveyor will expire by constitutional limitation on tho first Monday in December, 1871. All de mands and collections of fees by township officers since April last havo boon without authority of law; and after Monday next County Treasurers and Surveyors will in like manner havo no legal authority to charge or collect fees or commissions. Members of thoLcgislataro pretend that tho constitution docs not repeal tho existing laws fixing the fees of those officers. Tho constitution fixes a time to which these laws shall extend, un less previously repealed or amended by tbo Legislature, and peremptorily declares that they shall then ccaso to exist. To say that an express prdluhitiou in tho 'constitution is inoperative without legislation is equivalent to saying that tho Legisla ture is superior to tho constitution. Tho Legislature has neglected its duty, but tho constitutional mandate cannot thereby be defeated. This failure to comply with tho mandate is inexcusable. It is a failure to perform ono of tho principal duties which the General Assembly was elected to exe cute. Tho failure is tho more inexcusable because it is dictated by tho officeholders. Tho Legislature cannot command courage enough to fix tho salary of a County Treas urer! The Town Collectors and Supervisors, tho County Clerks and Surveyors, aro a power which tho Legislature seem to respect and obey, oven at tho cost of sacrificing pub lic interest, and disregarding the plain pro visions of the constitution, and disregarding their own oaths of office. Whatever pretext may havo heretofore been pleaded for this refusal to act on this question of fees and salaries, thoro can he no decent excuse given for any further dolay There is an absolute necessity for immediate action. Will tho population of Chicago, tho au thorities of tho State of Illinois and of tho United States, and all others to whom these presents shall come, moke way for Alderman Busee, of tho North Side f Tho said North Side is about to bo Invaded by the mercenary minions of the Belief and Aid Society, tho Fiie Alarm Telegraph Department, and other murderous aliens, and Alderman Basso has unsheathed his hatchet and shonlderod his blundetbuss to defend tho territory of his constituents. Bufsc is tho Leonidas of tho Noith Side, and North Clark street is his Toes of Theimopyhv. It has been attempted by tbo fiends above mentioned to put up a line of tolegrupb along North Clark street for tbo purpose of communicating alarms of fire and transacting some of tbo business of the Relief Society. The authority for put ting up tbo poles and stringing tbo wires is found in the statutes of the State of Illinois; but Alderman Blundotbusao does not brook such authority as this. Hs points-triumph antly to an ordinance against taking up I streets. Still more triumphantly docs ho point to the barrel of his trusty fowling-piece, and shout defiance to the advancing foe. Alderman .Bluudorbnsse owns a saloon on North Clark street, and he proposes to put a quantity of buckshot into any man who undertakes to put up a tele graph pole in that vicinity. His artillery is unlimborcd, and his sinews are stiffened, and his blood is up. It is evident that a direct charge upon Alderman Basse’s saloon would bo fatal to all who should undertake it. The only way to carry Alderman Basso’s strong hold is to mine it, or else buy him cancel his saloon license. MINISTER SCIENCE'S MINING ENTEEPBISE.' We are somewhat surprised to soo in the cahlo news no statement from General Schonck, United States Minister to England, denying his alleged connection with stock speculations wherein capital is sought in England by American adventurers. It was announced, several days ago, that General 'Schenck’s name had been advertised in Lon don as a Director in a Utah silver mine, the shares of which were being hawked on the Stock Exchange of the British metropolis. A London journal called attention to this, and very properly; since it not only violates an explicit prohibition in the rnles of our diplomatic service, but is also contrary to tho obvious requirements of dignity, justice, and faithful service, for tho chief representative of the American nation at tho court of a foreign power to bo asso ciated with a business of tho kind referred to. Tlio excuse oflercd in behalf of Minister Schenck for this, complicity in a mining scheme is, that he does not intend to servo the United Stalesneartho Courtof St. James much longer, having an opportunity to bet ter himself” in the employ of a railroad corporation. Indeed, we are told that Schenck would not have consented to take the mission to England at all, except by permission of the corporation which he was to serve; and this permit was given in'view of the fact that a term of such distinguished service would enhance the usefulness of their proposed employe. Now, these are not thecon ditions on which the United States expects, or ought to expect, to employ its Ambassa dors at the important of foreign courts, —viz., as a sort of odd job, to fill a few spare months of leisure, and polish one off for a showy rail road attorney. General Schenck is an able man, aud has done apparently some good service in helping to adjust the Alabama and kindred difficulties with England; but he is not so indispensable as to justify his em ployment as chief representative of the United States at Londonon the terms which we have described. Therefore, if General Schenck has not got ready to throw up his $17,500 job with the government for the sake of the $25,000 job with Jay Cooke, the government had himiu the proposed movement, and demand his resignation. The investigation now in progress, with a view to ascertain tlie origin of tlio Chicago tiro, and the responsibility for its extensive spread, will, wo hope, result in something tangible. Nevertheless, it must bo admitted that very little satisfactory information has been obtained. The Commissioners have, however, brought out these facts, viz., that Mrs. O’Leary wont to bed at half-past S o’clock on the night of the lire, on account of her “sore fut;” that Pat McLaughlin, the fiddler, resides in the front part of the O’Leary mansion; that Mrs. Sullivan, who lives opposite the O’Learys, did not save as mnch from the lire as she conld twist around her Unger; that Mrs. O’Leary heard Mrs. White say that McLaughlin had a party, and tho party wanted oysters, and the oysters wanted milk to be shtewed” in, and that they went out an 4 milked her (O’Leary’s) cow, and that, finally, considera ble know-nothingism can bo developed among the Irish, since none of the people in thar vicinity have any idea of how long it was, or how far tho fire had got, be fore tho engines arrived. The McLaughlins acknowledge that they were having asocial entertainment in honor of a green-horn” relative who had just arrived from Ireland. (The particulars of this entertainment wore lost by the destruction of the Times news paper.) But they deny having indulged in milk pnnch or oyster shtews,” or having milked the O’Leary cows after Mrs. O’Leary had gone to bed. All the witnesses seem agreed that there was a pile of shavings in tho bam, and that tho fire was first observed on the side of tho barii where tho shavings wore stored. By far tbo biggest job now gathered upon the shoulders of any ono management in Chicago is that which the Relief Society has on hand—of feeding* clothing, and housing near a hundred thousand persons through tho coming winter* and of keeping, that mul titude sufficiently contented, in spito of hard times and much clamor, to refrain from acts of violence. This stupendous labor now rests, as wo have said, upon the shoulders of a few men, who stand greatly in need of iu> telligont voluntary assistance. Tho opening is an excellent one to any who feel a disposition- to bonelit tho suffering I class, or whom a qualm of conscience tolls I they havo not yet done enough to earn I the credit of bearing their sharo of tho com mon burden. Especially should this open- I iug suggest itself as au appropriate one for tho many clergymen and others who are in sisting that there is favoritism or inef ficiency in tho administration of rollof by I the society. Wo aro advised that tho Ro liof Society desires tho active co-operation of persons who know of real distress not yot in tho way of being alleviated, and will gladly set to work at the distribution lof supplies any trustworthy por -1 sons who think they can 'ferret out faults iu tho administration of the society’s affairs. Wo are also informed that, as fast as grumblers appear and aro tendered opportu- I nitics of making themselves useful, and cor- I reeling alleged abuses in this way, they are I suddenly converted to a stato of warm admi- I ratioufortho relief management,andproxnpt- I ly edge their way out of tho premises of tho I society. In other words, it is much easier to I talk than to work. If the workers of the 1 Relief Society could got labor tendered them I as freely ns advice is tendered, they might I have every sufferer in a brick house and I broadcloth before spring. It is high time that tbo Legislature should take appropriate action to enable tho United States Government to obtain tho necessary ground for tho erection of its public build ings in Chicago, by passing a law under I which'tho necessary land can bo condemned. The owners of property on the square whore tho old Post Office and Custom House stood aro not nnwilliug to sell tho rcqnircd ground at a fair appraisal. Tho occupants of tho ad* joining square, tho £eo of which belongs to tho city, would probably make no opposition to the condemnation of their leasehold right, if it were deemed best to take that ground. But since some owners on every square aro pre paring to rebuild,it is obvious that, tho sooner the location of tho government build ings is determined, tho less waste of money and time will bo occasioned. Tho location cauuot ho determined until a law'on the sub ject of eminent domain is passed. The Secrc i tary of the Treasury has requested that such I a law be passed, aud tho Governor has rec ommended it. What are the moimbors of tho I Legislature waiting for? There is somo complaint still heard be cause all of the poor families who sudor cu by the tiro have not yet been furnished with all tho articles necessary to their win ter comfort—particularly stoves, blankets, mid bedding. In adjusting tho blame for this, if blame there bo, it should be borne in mind that the Belief Society has exhaust ed the supply of these articles, having drawn upon many sources wliidh would not have been accessible except to somo such large and responsible corporation. Tho society has bought all tho common stoves.
