THE Manitowoc Tribune is welcome
to anything it may find in these columns
to suit it's readcrs-credit or no credit,
but it would look little better If the
editor would furnish us with a full sized
sheet in place of half Come MIR. Edi-
tor don't be ungrateful, give US the full
benefits Of your excellent aud ever wei
come sheet.-Central Wisconsin.
Now, Brother johnson. we might point
out such short comings from good many
of our friends, but We feel just as you do
in regard to il: welcome to any thing
you may find to suit in our column" Re
gardiDg the half-sheet, we have to say,
that we have been sending half-sheets at
exchanges for sometime, thinking that
our friends would not care for the mis-
celIaneous matter inside of the TRIBUNE,
and that sound clean Ealf sheet of po-
litical, foreign and home news is certain
ly preferable to misprinted, illegib,e OF
torn whole sheets, which are so often
palmed off as exchanges. Serving our
friends all alike, we hope you will no lon
ger deem us ungrateful, but accept the
fact that we have trespassed on your col
umns, as the best evidence Of the high
opinion we entertain for your genius and
ability. Do your best for the extention
oe our A. & N. L. Railway to Wausau,
SO that we may soon become nearer and
dearer friends, than eyer before.

suaded us last week to have our her and
myself likeness taken at b1r. Ranch 8,

splendid execution of our pictures. We
never realized what good looking wife

deeming qualities in spite of the Pilots

We would advise all who wish to be

much the better, for his artistic daughter

There are many perplexIng questions
that present themselves in rebuilding the
city. One is in regard of the Depots.
Shall we have one grand Union depot
where all the Eastern and Western roads
shall center. as in all the other great
modern cities? Yes, every clear headed
business man will say, and every travel
Ter who has been subjected to the annoy
ances and trouble of changing cars, and
travelling two or three miles through
strange city, will second the question.
But the different companies have already
commenced to clear away and make prep
arations to rebuild on the old grounds,so
this proposition will probably fail The
new St. Paul road, from Milwaukee is
trying to get the right of way along the
east bank of the North Branch and
across the North Division, to a bridge
| across the main river east of Rush st.
This will give them great advantages over
the Northwestern, as their road termina-
| ties at Wells ST., in the north part of the
! city. Another point to be settled is. to
what extent shall the city prohibit the
re-erection of non-fre proof buildings in
side the city limits, the poorer class
claims the right to build as their means
will allow. while the Tribune thinks every
building should DO fire proof"
The government buildings are to be re,
built on a more extensive scale, whole
square being occupied, an appropriation
of four millions of dollars is asked for, to
carry out this plan. The old Post
| Office is being torn down and prepare
tions going on to rebuild on thesame block
in which the old one stood.
The new city officers took their seats
on the It'll, and much is expected Of
them. The Mayor, Hon. Joseph Medill,
Judging from his message is the right
man In the right place. 'Retrenchment
and economy must be the order of the
day. in the future government of the
city.
Chicago has everything to live for, and
she is going to live for it. she has learn
ed valuable lessons in the past, and in
five years will be rebuilt more substan.
fial and elegant than before the fire.
The great Good of benevolence that has
flown so generously into the city. from
all parts OF the Christian world, ha:
brought to light the fact that there i:

we can say, is, that Miss Nelson need
not come here to sing, for. if she has the

Ed. TRIBUNE:-So, much has been
already said and written about the great
fire, that shall presume your readers
are all aware Of the fact, that Chicago
has been burned. That in one wild night
the city fell,
"Fe}I shrnes of prayer and rsartS OF gain,
Before the fiery hurricane"
and shall conAne myself to tho present
and future ofthe Prairie City.
A drive of an hour and half the
beautiful suburban town Of Evanston,
brings one to the burned district, which
extends north Of Lincoln Park, to Full
lerton Avenue.
The first new building we sec is the
large store rooms of the Relief Society,
opposite Lincoln Park, here are gratui-
tously distributed, stoves, bedding, etc. 4,
to the destitute of the North Side, and
judging from the wagons and crowds of
people congregated here, they must do a
large business. Between this place and
the main river, distance of about three
miles, there are about FIVE thousand
buildings in course of erection, or already
completed, among them not more than
two or three hundred permanent oaes,
the rest mere stopping places until more
permanent ones can be built, We noticed
in driving down North Clark street, many
of the old sites, ''For Sale,' the owners
being compelled to sell and rent in order
to start again. A great deal of property
has changed hands during the past
month.
On the South Side, however, the work
done is of much more substantial ma
ture. The Board of Public Works have
issued 5000 permits to build ON the
North Side, and not quite 1900 on the
South Side. Among the most important
buildings now going up on the South
Side, we might mention j. V. Farwell &
Co.'S. new store, on Monroe St., which
has already reached the sixth story. q
Potter Palmer's new Merchant Palace
On State st. is after his old style, elegant
ly carved fronts, some of the mouldings
being of Italian marble, the most expcn-
siye in the world. one would think that a
man who has so recently lost three mil
lions of dollars in buildings would feel
like economizing a little. This man
owns about two miles of State ST.,
which he intends to rebuild immediate
ly.
Mr.. L. j. Fisher is putting up a large
marble front on State ST., Nos. 80, to

perhaps. the largest business block since

arations to push things in the spring.
Debris is being deposited in the lake
