The cntire Northwest perfectly understands
the cause Of the chronic bitterness which
portion Of the press and the people Of Mil
waukce manifest towards everything which.
in their grcen-cyed jealousy can by any posi-
billty be supposed to benefit Chicago. So
long as the press and the malignant portion
Of Milwaukee spit their venom simply at CHI
cago, our goodly city smiles at their impo-
tent wrath. But when the ya6t commerce
Of the lakes and the direct or certainly the
incidental interest Of every city and every
farm In the Northwest is involved in the con-
sequences Of their spleen, 1t becomes quite
another matter. By representing the enlarge
ment Of the Illinois and Michigan Canal as a
mere Chicago scheme, planned for her indi-
vidual profit, Milwaukee is striving with all
her little, but malignant might, to defeat this
great national enterprise. Congress 1t is be-
Ieyed, when this measure comes up for final
action, will take views, broad rs the vast ex-
panse Of the magnificent valley drained BY the
Mississippi and its tributaries, and embracing
the hundreds Of millions of commerce that
annually floats upon our lakes-au Of which
is to be protected by this thoroughfare be-
tween the waters Of the Mississippi and tue
ST. Lawrence. What bagatelle arc the in
terests Of Chicago merely and how impotent
The spite and spleen Of Milwaukee, when the
subject is viewed In all its far reaching M
tional bearings.

TIE DUTE OF THE HOUR.

-
Cor. Aorton's Proclamation to the citizens
Of Indiana Is most Important ono, and
touches in the very centre the great question
Of the hour. What is wanted now is to I'LL
up our armies to the required point, without
which We cannot meet the extensive demands
Of tie next campaign, increased by our
heightened lines Of communication and at
tack. In the discussion and adjustment Of
Statc quotas aud credits, the most stress has
conc to be lufd on the announcements that this
or that State lave filed their quota, and hence
no more men arc due therefrom, while the
mnin point has not been 60 satisfactorily coy
cred, us to where the men are actually CON-
ing from that VIC must have. The re-en1ist-
mcnt Of veterans is a noble and cbeering fea-
turc, but in no respect lessons the demand
upon our States. Indeed, 1t, BY very, nearly
so much rs tue number rc-enllsted, decreases
the army itself to which the additions were
to be made. Governor Morton asks loyal
1ndiann to look this thing squarely In the
tnce and prepare to send fresh recruits. He
warns them TINT new call must be and will
be made by the President, especially If there
be q, general fulfllment Of the tendency
among the people to fall back, content TINT
re-enlistmcnts a1c counted under the last
call, forgetting tlat this is virtually counting
these veterans twice, and still leaves the ad-
dition to the army to be made from elae~
where. There Is no mistake about the INIT
ter, Some time within the next two weeks
the President viii, md must, Issue new
call, and there Will be q new assignment of
quotas under which will cone, without
further po6tponemcnt, the draft. Let the
words Of Gov Morton be Of powerful and
instant effect in Indiana, and the same timely |
prcccp;s fall on other States. We must have !
men to flu mp our armies. The work drass. !,
The results as 1t Is now progressing will
prove deceptive, Nothing but the most vig- |
orous prosecution Of volunteering for the
next few weeks will be Of any avail, and that
will scrye II duly attended to.
