Almost every phase of humanity is
marred and blurred by some OF its mean
er qualities. Scoundrels creep into the
beat and purest circles. How many of
this class are cloaked by the religious
and benevolent societies. Selfshness
insinuates itself everywhere. One
would suppose that none Of his species
would use q great public calamity for
the exercise of this, the meanest ofall hu-
man instincts. All have expei fenced
feelings of pride and qualification, at
the generous aud unanimous charity
displayed in aiding the sufferers by the
late terrible Chicago conAagration.
Millions Of money have boen sent to as
suags her suffering. Charity, like riv-
sr, ran down to the city of the lakes.
There has been no greater exhibition of
the better side OF humanity for years,
than that displayed by our people, in
opening their pocket books SO gencr-
ously to aid their fellow-men; but now,
all this exhibition of the generosity of
The human heart Is married by the an
nouncement that alderman g. L. p. Hol-
don. treasurer of the relief fund, and q
candidate for Mayor of Chicago, had
taken 1900, of the money donated for
tho poor people, and IL using it to Sc
cure his election to the Office Of mayor.
We hope, for the sake of humanity; for
the sake OF the little confidence which
men still have in each other, that this
charge may prove false, although there
seems to be little chance for this, as the
dispatch says that damaging evidence
Sc produced in standardization of this
charge" Steps are being taken to hold
him TO strict accountability. We had

OUR FINANCIAL STRENGTH.

The financial soundness and strength
OF this country, at the close OF the late
rebellion, astonished the world! That
We should go right along, when the
whole of Europe was expecting gene
raj smash up, was n poser to the
shrewdcst financiers. Instead of q
general financial lull and distress, the
country seemed 10 be more buoyant in
commercial and financial matters than
it had been for years, and with the dec
laration of peace gold commenced its
downward march, and speedily took
its place in the market at peace prices.
But later instance of our financial
strength Is at hand. 1t was expected
that the Chicago fire would very SER
iously affect the financial interests of
the wholc country. That calamity was
national. So extensive were the Tami-
flcations of the immense business of
Chicago that the great losses there af-
fected, directly or indirectly, every Sec
ton Of the. country. How thoroughly
interlaced are the credits and interests
of the whole nation, is seen in the wide
spread depreciation of all corporate Sc
curities which Immediately followed
the Chicago disaster, extending even to
Government bonds. tits estimated, by
careful and cautious authority, that the
depreciation of stock and bond values
caused by the fire MAS more than equal
to the value of tho property burned.
If the destruction in Chicago amounted
to four hundred millions of dollars, as
Is now estimated. and the depreciation
of other values to rs much more, we
have the enormous sum Of eight hum
dred millions OF dollars of values liter
ally destroyed in q days time! It Is
trne that the depreciation In stock and
bonds, will be, in a measure, If not en-
tirely, recovered from in time. but that
is only another evidence of the financial
strength and soundness of the country.
There never was, apparently, q combi-
nation OF circumstances moro favorable
to general panic and financial crisis.
Eight hundred millions of property
practically destroyed; rumors apparent
" we'll authenticated that the strongest
insurance companies were ruined, and
the air full of reports of the failures of
heavy business houses as well ss banks.
Looking back now over the past few
weeks it seems almost q miracle that
crisis was averted. But the financial
strength OF the country was 40 great as
TO easily withstand the trial, great IS 1t
was, and the reaction commenced al
most as soon as the shock was felt. To-
day tho Chicago fire lie hardly mention

Mexico continues in state of rovo-
luton. Several OF the States hayG
pronounced against Juarez, and their
troOps have gained some victories; but
as there seems to DO no very great I'M
animity of purpose among the various
revolving bodies, it Is little uncertain
whether the movements amount to one
or 70 three or four revolutions. Each
leader seems to be pulling his own way,
and when We add to the uncertainty
thus produced, the utter untrustworthi-
mesa of tho several channels through
which our news comes from that coun-
try, it becomes very difficult to form
any just opinion upon affairs there.

Is, that the numberless generals" in re-
