Chicago, during the past season has
made gigantic strides in the march of
Improvement, and her citizens point
with pride to the twenty-five new
churches, and the acres of other "solid
and substantial structure" erected.
The growth of the city is indeed a
marvel Fifty years ago it was mere
hamlet; now it has probably over two
hundred thousand inhabitants, and is
undoubtedly destined to hold its place
as the metropolis of the Northwest.
With railroads already tapping and
drawing the trade from the best i'm
proved and most fertile sections of
Michigan, Wisconsin,, Minnesota,
Iowa, Illinois, and Indiana, her fore
handed enterprise is also looking out
for the future trade of Texas and the
Southwest, and even. for the traffic
that must ere long begin to come over
the Union Pacific. from China and ia
pan. We fear before Cincinnati gets
the Southern railroad. Chicago will
have one direct to Galveston, and will
have fanked both the Queen City and
st. Louis in the struggle for the trade
Of San Francisco and the nearing Ori-
ent.
Among the improvements made the
past season, the splendid fve-story,
marble front dry goods house, erected
by Potter Palmer, the merchant mil
Iionaire, on State Street, is perhaps the
finest. It is in imitation of A. T.
Stewards palatial store house in New
York, and is claimed not to be behind
it in magnifcence. Mr.. Palmer owns a
mile Of front on State Street, through
the business heart Of Chicago, drives

DR.. Hugh s. Fullerton, formely an
assistant surgeon at the Central Asy-
lum for the insane attributes the late
destruction of that institution to the
drunk kenness and inefhcieney Of tho
Columbus Fire Department. He also
asserts that some of the police, instead
of protecting the goods carried from
the burning building were engaged in
stealing them, and corroborates this
statement by citeing the fact that a
policeman was caught stuf6ing his
pockets with plunder. He says anoth-
er knight of the star came drunk to
the hospital filed with female patients
the day after the fire and being denied
adminission fourished a pistol and att
tempted to force it He thinks the
Asylum building might easily have
been saved by intelligent effort on the
part OF. the fremen who instead spent
their time in fruitlessly squirting water
on the tin roof and against the window
glass. He says that one of the atten-
dants having brought small hose be-
longing to the Institution to bear on
the fire. fireman drew pistol upon
him and compelled him to desist. Some
of the other attendants carried up a
hose SO as to bear directly upon the
fire. but not fireman would assist
them and they were compelled to give
it up. The employees and not the IRE
men saved the Central wing of the
building, the fremen meanwhile oc
cupying themselves in guzzling a bar.

Some of the brainless demagogues
Of the Copperhead party are endeavor-
ing to excite prejudice between the
private soldiers Of the army and their
old commaders BY Representing the
former to- have been excluded from
the Reunion at Chicago. This is the
dirty trick the same individuals played
or attempted to play during the war,
in the way ofWriting letters and send
ing publications to the soldiers in the /
field designed to make them dissatis-
fed with their officers and with the
service and thus induce them to help
the enemy by deserting or by voting
the Copperhead ticket But the sham
is as transparent now as it was then
and the soldiers are too sensible to be
deceived by it. There was no exclusion
Of private soldiers at Chicago. All who
chose to come came to meet their old
commanders and were welcome.
The Societies of the four armies
are organized from the officers simply
for the reason that to include the pri-
Yates also would make them SO un-
wieldly as to be impossible. Gen. Sher-
mans Army. for example, contained
70,000men. IF the half of these were to
assemble in a social reunion, no city in
the country could comfortably provide
for its guests. As it was, though not
nearly all the officers were present, the
crowd was too large, aud in future the
societies will probably meet separately.
Now any one VII asserts that the
private soldiers are not allowed to be
present at the annual reunions is a
shameless faIsifer The regiments
and brigades are constantly having
their separate society meetings IN
which the private soldiers take part,
This is proper and right, and is, more,
over, feasible; whereas to assemble all
the soldiers of four armies in one re.
union is simply absurd.
At Chicago the private soldiers were
remembered. Their noble valor, pa
triotism, manliness, fortitude and en-.
duranoe were referred to and con,
memorated at every fitting opportuni.
to in the most glowing terms. Non,
but an ignoramus or knave would
represent, otherwise.

For example, Mr.. A moves so-and-

Mr.. D. moves to lay on the table, and
straightway there is a confusion of pro-
positions, a wrangle about what ought

The President waits serenely until all
