The pluck and enterprise of the Chicago press
are, indeed, fitting types of the wonderful eIe-
ments which will lift the new out of the dust
ard ashes Of the old Chicago. In two hours, on
Monday, after the Ereaing Journal Office was
destroyed, Hon. Chas. Wilson, its proprietor,
Issued an extra from a job Office on the west
side giving fun details of the fire up to D. M of
that day, and announcing in the first line ssthat
Chicago was burning up.'' The Times building
was consumed in the forenoon of Monday, but
at noon Mr.. Storey telegraphed to r. Hoe s. Co.,
New York, for an eight-cylinder press, which
was shipped on Tuesday, Wednesday and yes
terdsy all the papers reappeared- The Chicago
TtitHEe of yesterday has the following edito-
rial:
"Cheer mp! In the midst Of calamity without
parallel in the worlds history, looking upon the
ashes OF thirty years's accumulation, the people
or this once beautiful city are resolved that
chicago shall rise again with vigor.
"With S20O,0o0, 600 or $500 900 900 of our hard
earned property swept away in a few hours, the
hearts OF our men and women are still brave,
hearts.
cas- there has never been such calamity 80
has there never been such cheerful fortitude in
the face OF desolation and ruin.
"Already contracts have been made for re-
building some OF the burned blocks, and the
clearing away Oft the debris will begin to-day if
the heat IL 10 far subdued that the charred mate
rial can be handled. Field, Letter a. Co.. and
John Farwell & Co., win commence business to-
day. The money and securities in the banks
are safe. The railroads are working with all
their energies TO bring us out of affection.
.The 800 900 600 Of capital invested in these
ruins are bound to see us through. They have
been built with special reference to a great COM
mercial want at this place, and cannot fail to
sustain il.
As Chicago must rise again, we do not be-
little the calamity that has fallen upon u.s. The
world has probably never seen the like of il;
certainly Pit since Moscow burned.
Ten or twenty years may be required to re-
construct our fair city, but capital viii rebuild
it, and fre-proof will be forthcoming
"The losses we have suffered must be borne
but the place, time and men are here. Com
mence at the bottom and work up again-not at
the bottom either-for We have credit in every
land, and the experience of one building Of Chi
cago to help US.
Let US all cheer up, save what is vet left
and we shall come out right. The Christian
world is coming TO our relief-the worst is al
ready over. In a few DAYS more the dangers
will be passed, and we can resume the battle of
life with Christian faith and Western grit Let
Us all cheer up"

Those who know best give the satisfactory as
suranee that the Chicago disaster is not of such
magnitude in a business sense as to warrant ap-
prehensions Of scarcity in the articles OF bread
stufis- There are other cities beside the Garden
City capable Of storing and shipping to the At
iahtie seabOard the products of the West Mil
waukie, Racine and Cleveland are fully equal to
the emergency, and are prepared to send all the
wheat and grain now in stock and ready for
shipment 70 the ports and depots Of the East
So well is this understood that the price of wheat
and grain has only advanced from four to five
cents since the announcement OF the partial
destruction Of the Chicago means of transporta-
ton, and the market is now reported as fat.

The meaning of the word ''regenerate" in the
Episcopal baptismal service is the point upon
which there has been some discussion, the most
notable case being that of Rev. Mr.. Cheney, of
Chicago, who refused to use the word. Yester
day the House of Bishops, in session in Balti-
more, agreed to the Interpretation of it accepted
by moderate churchmen-that it is not so ssused
as to determine that a moral change in the sub
ject OF baptism Is wrought by the Sacrament"
The declaration was signed by all the bishops,
and was communicated to the House of Clerical
and Lay Deputies for the information OF that
body.
