The Chicago disaster continues to be
the Oyershadowing excitement. Our
legislative Assembly is still in session,
but has about matured its bill sppropri.
ating one hundred thousand dollars as the
official contribution of the District TO-
wards repairing the devastation wrough
by the devouripg flames. The other con-
tributions, including clothing, it is

this city to 5000. 900.

SOUND.


The financial strength of the country
was never more clearly exhibited than IN
the manner in which it has met the shock
Of the great Chicago fire. That calamity
was national. So extensive were the
ramihcations of the immense business OF
Chicago that the great losses there affect
directly or indirectly every section OF the
country. -Ef
How thoroughly interlaced are the cred
its and interests of the whole nation, is
seen in the widespread depreciation Of
all corporate securities which Immediate
ly followed the Chicago disaster, extend
ing even to Government bonds. 1t is
estimated by careful and cautious author
ity that the depreciation of stock and
bond values caused BY the fire was more
than equal to the value of the property
burned.
Ii the destruction in Chicago amount
ed to four hundred millions OF dollars, as
is now estimated and the depreciation of
other values to as much more, we have
the enormous sum of eight hundred mil
lions of dollars of values literally des-
troyed in days timel
1t is true that the depreciation in stocks
and bonds will be, in measure, it not
entirely, recovered from in time, but that
is only another evidence of the financial
strength and soundness of the country.
There never was, apparently, a COM
bination of circumstances more favorable
to a general panic and financial crisis.
Eight hundred millions of property prac
tically destroyed; Tumors apparently
well authenticated that the strongest In
gurance Companies were ruined, and the
air full of reports OF the failures of heavy
business houses as well as banks. Look.
ing back now over the past week itseema
almost a miracle that crisis was
averted.
But the financial strength of the coun
try was so great as to easily Withstand
the trial, great as it was, and the reac-
lion commenced almost as soon as the
shock was felt.
The Insurance Companies, with very
few exceptions. promptly notified theil
agents that they would at once pay al
losses, and some OF their representative
were on the ground doing so as soon a
the spread of the fire was stopped. Th'
Banks, with a single unimportant excep
ton, have been entirely unaffected, ,whil'
the people of the whole country hav'
sent in millions for the ieliet OF the su'
terers.
1t any doubt had been entertained a
J to our financial soundness, it must Ger
tainly have been removed by the manne
in which we have passed through tn
trial of the past week.

scattered, some In wells. There were
many disRgured In terrible man
ner, in some cases beyond recognition.
This great destruction was but the work
of fifteen minutes, and was the same
tornado that burned up Peshtigo and
1 200 human beings.
Efforts for relief are not spared here

from abroad are coming along Just in

THE OHIO CONSTITUTIONAL
CONVENTION.

S@T The result OF the vote on the Constitu-
tionaI Convention is that it is ordered by
alsrge majority of the votes cast at the
Ate election. Both the Democratic and
Republican conventions approved the
proposition for the Convention, though
'D In both parties there was strong opposl-
.st-. ton to the measure. 1t is generally
'sa'es- admitted that changes needed. and
yet many who were free to confess this

The DesMoines Reoister says that
the Republican majority in Iowais 40
900. This long delay in getting returns
was caused by the Chicago fire, which
cut of direct communication by tele.
graph for q day or two, and II appears
that after that the press agent overlooked
the matter.
Carl Schurz, in the Westliche Post, Of
st. Louis, says:
After the splendid victories of the
Republicans In Iowa, Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania many things will become plain to
the comprehension of the Democrats. -
In Ohio and Pennsylvania the new de-
parture played Its best trumps. 1t has
been proven beyond doubt that Demo
cratic trunps can no longer win. Far.
seeing Democrats have long since become
convinced that their party has The con.
sumption, and that 1t can not carry on a
national contest with the least prospect
OF success. The Republican victories
are hammeriDg this conviction deeper in.
TO the masses, and soon every Democrat,
who is not entirely blinded by prejudice
will become convinced that the Demo.
cratic party only exists for the purpose oI
keeping together the Republican party. y
1t doesn't exist even for that purpose
The Republican party is too much 9
party of principle to derive much aid
from mere opposition in keeping together
The Post apparently loses sight of the
fact that the triumph of the Republican
party is owing more to its good principles
than to the bad theories of the Demo
cracy.
One Of the embarrassing questions
growing out of the great fire at Chicago
and with which the Legislature will
probably have to deal, is some provision
which shall secure to the citizens O
Chicago the exercise OF the rights a
voters to which they are unquestionsbl
entitled. The Chicago Tribune, discuss
ing this question, takes the ground tha
the enforced absence of voter does nc
destroy his legal residence that beiD
matter Of intention, ard that ever
man will be voter in the ward an
precinct where ne resided before the fire
unless he has resolved to change HI
residence. Voters must therefore regis
ter and vote in their former precincts
even though there be no actual res
dent in them. Aldermen and Super.
visors must be elected in their respectiy
wards by the legal voters thereof.

The Democrats of Maryland are not
harmonious, and the Republicans hope
to make some gains at the November
election. Ever since 1867 the Democrat
ic party has had almost undisputed
sway in that State; but the Baltimore
american says that four years of power
have brought out so many ambitious
off1ce-seekeTs that there is danger that
the party will fall to pieces for the wan
of union between the warning factions.
In some of the counties OF the Eastern
Shore there are serious divisions, and in
two of them at least there are independ-
ent tickets. In Baltimore county the
Democratic candidates have become so
corrupt that the people, without distinc-
tion OF party, have risen against them,
and nominated ticket composed of up-
right and honorable men. In Alleghany
county they are divided upon candidates
for Judge of the Fourth Judicial Circuit,
In Frederick and Montgomery counties
the Democratic Convention was unable
to agree upon candidate for Judge of
of the Sixth Circuit and adjourned with
out making nomination.
