exposed settlements. We reckon the econo-

economy wrought by an honest collection of
our revenue.
Grants Administration has secured the
triumph Of Equal Rights. For the passage
of the XVIII Amendment we owe him CRATE
full thanks. Against him it might possibly
have been carried; with his earnest, cordial
and efficient cooperation it was certainly at
tanned more speedily, and without serious
struggle. In this and in all other leading
measures, he has been most true to the
principles of the party that elected him has
lent his most faithful and powerful aid to Sc
cure their triumph, and has honestly ad-
ministered his great Office in their light. He
has utterly disappointed the Democratic pre-
diction that he would betray the Republicans ;
and hence their wrath. He has most cheer
fully co-operated with Congress; has never
hesitated to advance opinions of his own
that differed from those of Congress, and has
never delayed heartily to execute the will of
the people, when once expressed through its
voice. With most decided wishes and policy
of its own, on many points, there never was
an Administration with less pride of opinion,
or more grace in yielding to the popular YER
dict, as.uttered by the representatives of the
people.
Grants Administration recognizes the
phole people. 1t is no rule of the army over
Its conquered foe. Every effort is made to
obliterate the bitterness of war; to win back
our late foes to that hearty support of the
Government essential to our National safety
and prosperity, Ito make this again in reality
one people. In this spirit have been many
past acts of the presidents in this spirit now
is the wise and timely nomination Of MIR.
Alderman of Georgia tor place in the
Cabinet.
But we need not contiue the recital. How
poor and beggarly beside these things, seems
the complaint that the President chooses to
take such relaxation as every clerk or shop
keeper seeks to secure; that he does not
nominate for office politicians with whose
claims noisy iteration has made the public ear
familiar, that he does not make rhetorical
speeches, and does not seek to establish some
great and brilliant policy oftoreign aggrandize-
| ment or domestic expenditure in defiance of
| the will of the people! We never adv coated
| Gen. Grant as a great Statesman. We have
presented him to the people as a sound and
safe man. We point to his record with
| hearty satisfaction, and are sure that the
| Country will unite with us in pronouncing
! him a sound and safe man still.

THE ADMINISTRATION A SUCCESS

THE ADMINS TRAITON A SUCCESS.
The New York Tribune which has quite
a pemcham for scolding and lecturing its
own party friends, usually finding more
fault than the opposition, all doubtless for
the good of the family. is constrained at
last to change its course somewhat, and
say manly word for the Administration
against its defamers. 1t believes the Ad-
ministration is success, and for the fol-
lowing reasons.
Grants administration is Collecting the rer-
enne, economiztag the expenditures and pay
ing the debt. When Gen. Grant was Inaugural
ted, the National Debt was 81, 73S 1903, sos.
At the end of the first year il was 81, COL $685.,
795, and since then it has been steadily redu-
ced in even increasing ratio. Yet taxes have
not been increased. On the contrary. special
taxes have from time to time been largely
reduced, imposts have been removed, the
burden has been more and more lifted from
productive industry, and at this very moment,
in accordance with Gen. Grants earnest de-
sire, modified Tax and Tariff bill is before
the Senate, having already passed the House,
which takes OFT at single stroke 65 millions
more. Yet the revenue increases. What,
under johnson, went into the pockets of
thieves, goes, under Grant, into the Golfers
of the Treasury, and its amount is deducted
from the annual taxation.
Grants administration though hat Of the
most successful and renowned Soldier Of his
age as earnestly seeking peace with aHnattons
and aroi1iag entangling alliances. We
have not always been able to agree with some
details of his foreign policy; but this is its
net result. Personally known devotee of
the doctrine Of Manifest Destiny, Gen. Grant
has shown so scrupulous a regard for the
rights of our weaker neighbors, that the sus-
picious Mexicans have ceased to disturb him,
and the critical and unfriendly British Cabi-
net and press are forced to accord him reluc-
tant praise. If he has not done all things, as
| to Cuba, as we would wish them, we are
bound at least to recognize the fact that he
has preserved our burdened people from war,
protected onr crippled commerce from dep
relation, and made energetic diplomatic ef-
forts for the protection of American citizens
in nsurrectionary regions.
Grants Administration has kept the peace
on the frontier. We have been threatened
with an Indian war that, under former man
agement, would have swallowed up hundreds
of millions. With a Soldier at the head Of
the Government, We might have looked for
the logic of the bayonet, in the Interpretation
OF Indian treaties. protection of the advance
ing railroads, and opening up of the Indian
country. Instead we have. had an Indian
placed at the head of the Bureau, controll-
ing the relations of The Government with his

IMPROVEMENT OF KENOSHA
HARBOR.

Congress at its last session appropriat-
ed $4,000 for the improvement of the
Kenosha harbor. A part of that appro-
.priation is now being expended under
the superintendent of Wallace Mygatt
Esq, upon the South pier Commencing
at the shore the part of the pier first built
extends into tue lake $40 feet. Two
years ago the pier was extended by Par
ker, under Ledlie and Corse contractors,
$50 feet farther into the lake, making the
pier 800 feet in length. It is upon the
first part of the pier that the expenditure
and improvement is now being chiefly
made. Some of the timbers had been
washed away aud others were so decayed
that they had to be removed. In repair
ing the pier some of the timbers had to
be laid a foot or two under water, and in
some places the pier required leveing
up We saw the work in its progress a
few days ago. The timbers in the pier
were then all above water and level.
Some places the pier was carried to it's
tull height and it was all the way MAX
ing progress to completion. 1t was ap-
parent to any one that the timbers had
been selected with care, that they were
frmand sound, and that they were OF the
right size and securely laid. Some of
the old timbeis showed that they were
defective when laid, both in the timber
and in the laying. No such defects were
discoverable in the new The pier was
filed up above water with large and
heavy stones and was being filled even
with the timbers.
The350 feet built two years ago show
ed many defects. Some of the timbers
were not sound and they were badly laid.
Some places there were vacant places be-
tween the ends of timbers which should
have been in contact, varying from four
inches to two feet in length. To preserve
this part of the pier 100 cords of stone
have been used and labor applied at a
cost of $1,000.
After completing the first part of the
pier,54O feet IN length and putting the re-
mainings350 feet in condition to pre-
serve it, there will be left, it is estimated
about $4,000. The last $50 feet of the
South pier remains to be completed. The
North pier needs repairing and should be
extended about 400 feet farther into the
lake. An extention of 400 feet would
prevent the loose sand from washing in
to the harbor. An expenditure of $780,
900 would make Kenosha harbor one of
the best harbors on lake Michigan.

NATIONAL LIFE INsURANCE COMPANY, CHI

speak favorably Of enterprises having for their
object the benefit OF the human race. Life
Insurance properly conducted is certainly one
of the most deserving things which the wis.
dom or wit of man has devised, in This behalf,
by which man may provide against the
hardship OF distress ard penury of his family
in the event of being taken from them by
death. The National Life Insurance Co., of
Chicago, whose advertisement will be found
in our columns this week, commenced bush
nesson the 7th of June last, and is meeting
with unprecedented success. It is q real

der the supervision Of the Insurance Depart.
ment of the State of illinois,, with large
paid up capital. Its plans are both the low
rate stock plan, and the cooperative plan,
the latter of which is becoming very popular
In speaking of the National we will say that
we are personally acquainted with its Officers
and many gifts Directors, and know them to
be men Of capital, standing. and undoubted
integrity. Notwithstanding the opposition
it meets with, it goes steadily on, and has
the Endorsement OF mary of our wealthiest
citizens, and, as practical proof of our conf
dence intts success, we have taken quite an
amount of Insurance, as can be seen by the
