Up<n the atose important work nettFc
operations are, We learn, to be resumed In
about two weeks from .hts date. FIEs dred-es
With their appso7ri lte seows aud tugs, to-
se:hcr With three pile drivers aad a1l the In.

We congratulate the Commercial aud ma
1ine Interest Of the Great West uo on the Aat-
tenne prospect now presented with regard TO
this great Improvement. DS recent Fepor:s
Of the Inspector, VIC arc happy to have 1t in
our power to say thst no damage whatever
has heen srstainod from ice or any other
canse during the winter. At the close Of the
working season last December, the work. IN
point Or time, was hat completed, and there
Is no doubt that, 1t Congress should make,
At the present session, the last lns!alment
Of the appropriation, amounting to *1l4, 600,
the work will be completed b5 the Is. OF De-
climber nex', and that our lake Zee: will be
passing r. ely both Ways through the eaual
By the middle Of September.
The dlkes on each side OF the can1 are In
los nearly the entire length, and hare re-
natned very secure, although the sapesstruc.
tulc is not set mp to the full height, which Is
10 be five feet above water, aud the Eater way
between :he dikes has been dzcdged ont 10
the full Width aud depth, as far as t! e under
water works Of the dikes has been extended.
Everything connected with The canal is, thus
faz, 10 aN appearxnces, In 4. good condition
as could be destsed.
The very favorable results thus far atte2d-
fnE the progress OF this ereat improvement,
should certainly encourage Congress to N IKE
IN appropriation, in adtltlou to that already
made, to bring 1t to completion, 20 that the
yeaz 1sGo may be remembered As the lAs: in
which the vast coumeyc3 of the West Vas
allowed to Re obetmcted at these fats. To
: suffer the work to stop after It Il three
foutths completed Tor want ol an apPropria-
lion Of <11l.oc0, would not be Consistent
With the wise economy which the people
have right to expect from the assembled
| wisdom OF the nation. The damage Inflicted
| By means Of detenuons and ACCIDENTS At the
| Flats In single month, would reach sum
equal to the whole amount necessary TO
complete the Improvement. Let Western
| MT mbers Of Congress make this matter one
Of kpecia! interest 10 them-as 1t Is to theit
! constituents and let them also Invite the
| cooperation OF those from the Eas!, for .hi:
| IL purely a national work, and let no exu
| tiols be spared which will tend to ensu:t
the early completion Of an improvement

WHO IB THE MANI

AHtIe N Mnu AS1nk LII NAAC3ROs WHO
is very rich, and IL well known Tor two
thinPs: One is his grea: wealth, which
has been made by the rise Of real estate in
Chicago; and the other is his cetsain and
unva1ying opposition to every improve
ment Of the city. The growth Of this IN
rivalled city Il ii th.t hss made him so
rich, and that growth has taken place no:
only in defiance OF his judgment and ex-
pee alou, bus also in defiance OF all he
could do to prevent il. There Is no: an
improvement that Chicago has ever nude,
not one Of the enterprises or institutions
which have built II up and given it the
distinction it has abroad Tor bold energy
and sagacisY, that has not found In him
an active opponent. He fought our pave
mente, he secuted our wAser-works, he
denounced our tunnels, both lake And
river; he ia ever abusing and bera.ioE
our school system, and be canuos endura
tie religion Of salaried preachers and ia-
evi.able pew rents, ue his always becu
clo4kirg OVER every sctame Of improve
mem, and p1ophesying ruin from every
e1~ It al prog1ess. To him all things are
visionary, CRAZY, inflated and exrAy-
asant, Il is true that every
.hirg hts turned cut jus. exaclly
the opposite Of what he proclaimed, and
tie city WAS never so praspcsous, nor 80
rich, mar 80 tuil Of hope and promise NJ 1t
Ia today. But he learns nothing from
the psst, and only croaks more loudly aud
more ho1scly, and still Aghts with the
stmo old Herceness and just as bitterly
agains! every Improvement You hear
him now loud as ever croaklng aud
