An exchange sums up the Chicago
locs NO To1lourS.

An exchange sums up the Chicago
loss as follows:
The total area of the city, including
streets, IS over %, 900 acres, and the to-
tal number of buildings in the city be-
fore the fire was about $4,000. The area
of tho burnt district on the south side is
$50 acres on the north side, 1900 acres /;
in the west division, 150 acres-in all,
1900 acres, or less than one-twclfth the
total area of the city. On the south side
there were destroyed $500 buildings,
including 900 stores, 90 hotels, and 60
manufacturing establishments; on the
north side there were 10000 buildings
consumed, including 600 stores and 100
manufactures in the west division a
large portion of the burnt district was
occupied by lumber yards. 1t is esti-
mated that the number of people actu-
ally deprived of homes embraces Fl 600
on the south side, 10000 on the north
side, and about 400 in the west division
jim all, $500.
It will be seen, therefore, that out of
the 10000 buildings in Chicago, only
about $1,000 have been destroyed, and
that while $4,000 persons have been
driven from their homes, more than 245,-
600 have not been "disastercd in that
way. In the west division alone there
are go churches, 1000 stores, 600 manu-
factories and $500 dwellings still stand
ing; on the south side there are 30
churches and $4,000 other buildings yet
remaining; and on the north side, where
the loss was greatest, the gas works, the
water words, two schools and number
of other houses, are left. The railroads
and the remaining elevators are carry
ing on business as usual, the street rail-
roads are uninjured, and the distilleries
aud breweries and hundreds Of work
shops are still in full operation.
1t is bad enough, of course; but all is
not gone by considerable. Chicago is
still something more than a mere "geO-
graphical designation.

A petition, fifty feet long and signed
by women Of Utah, was received at the
Executive Mansion, Washington, on the
24th inst, protesting against polygamy
and'urging effective measures to suppress
its practices in that Territory. Here is a
lie to the oft-repeated assertion that the
women of Utah did not object to polyg-
amy but instead favored its continuance.
1t will CRAFTY the public heart that the
Government, according to an authori,a-
tive statement, "intcnds to pursue the
present policy in Utah until polygamy is
broken up" and that it is prepared for
any emergency in the way of resistance
from the Mormons.

Where is there . county IN the State
or in the United States in which one
will not find . set Of men who make
their living solely out Of county Offices I
They arc unfit for the ordinary avoca-
tons of life, too lazy to make living
otherwise, and hence become charitable
objects-to be supported by the public
funds. Such class of men are curse
to any country.
There is neither sense nor reason in
continuing men in office indefinitely.
Tho present county clerk has been in
Office four years and desires it now for
another two. He has love for Office
and clings to it tcnaciously. His broth
err is also county officer. Probably it
were better for Saline county to give
the whole family q chance. Now if it is
actually q fact that our county is in need
of assistance from this family, it would
be cheaper to pension them at once. In
our humble opinion, VIC have had enough
of this tribe. Under the guise of friend
illness to the interests of Saline county,
they have lined their own pockets and
made money. The innocent, Whimsical
actions of one of them are construed rs
indications Of great honesty. But people
are fast changing their notions and an
other guisc for SO much innocence O
will have to be assumed.
We are of the opinion that this family
has served the public long enough and
that a change is desired at once by the
majority of the voters.

In the election of county officers, care
should be taken to select those who have
an identity with the county. The can
didatc for treasurer on the other ticket
C. L. Faulkner), SO it is reported, has
decided to leave the country, if he is not
elected to that Office. lie now has wife
in the East who will not consent to come
to Salina unless her husband is elected
to the Office of county treasurer. For
county offices we want men who have
come among us to stay; who have u
love for the country and its people and
who are content to cast their fortunes
for veal or woe among us. We want
men for Office who can stand the disap-
pointmcnt of defeat and be able to fol-
low some other avocation. We want no
man who makes his residence depend on
the fact of his being or not being elected
to Office.

The following extract from the Law.
renee Tribune applies well to the "situa-
ton" in Saline county. Let all the vot-
ers consider this address before they
cast their ballot at the coming election
Farmers, mechanics and laboring
men, when these fine-dressed, smooth
tongued county officials shake hands
with you, compare their soft, delicate,
ladylike hands with your own hard,
horny, cracked hands; compare their
clothes with your clothes; their fine gold
watches, sleeve buttons, rings and pins
with your watches, rings and pins; the
style in which they live with the style
in which you live. Then ask yourselves
whether these fine things can come out
of reasonable salaries in the short space
of four or six wears.

10 fHE VOTERS OF SALINE COUNTY.

1t has been reported by men opposed
to my election to the office OF county
treasurer that, in the event OF my
election, l would appoint deputy
and not discharge the duties myself. All
such statements are false and without
foundation whatever. In seeking the
Office after my nomination 1 have no
other thought than to fill the office per-
sonally, and to the best Of my abilities,
for the good of the public service:

fnH RESULT.

The vote on the three railroad prOpo-
sitions, on last Tuesday, shows a most
gratifying result. The majOrities for
each, AS near as can he asccrtained at
this writing, is about four hundred and
fifty 10 five hundred, and some so so far
as 60 say that they will approximate six
hundred. At this precinct there is an av-
eragcd majority of three hundred and
ffty-6ve out of four hundred and nine
teen votes, showing that only thlrty-twO
persons at Salina voted against the prop
ositions. At Brookville, town fifteen
miles west of Salina aud not expecting
to enjoy the benefits chat Salina must
from the roads, gave only twenty-five
minority against, we are informed.
Tuesday is glory enough for one day
for Salina and Saline county. The pco-
pic will never regret their action on that
day. They have been true to themselves
and to the best interests of their rich
country. When they see the iron horse
snorting ON his way through the county
on twoor three additional railroads they
will then feel that they have done well.
These nev railroads will not be made
to-day O. tomorrow, but they will be
made in the time set forth. In the next
thirty days forty miles of the Kansas
Central will be completed from Leaven-
worth cut and in the next twelve
months we, verify believe, the road will
be finished to Salina, certainly not long
or than eighteen months, as the COM
pany guarantees. The Holden railroad
has beon finished to Paola, Miami county,
some weeks, and the period asked 1.-TWO
years and six months) is requisite to
bring it to Salina, and in that time it is
reasonable to conclude that we will be
furnished with another outlet by this
route. The Republican Valley, Saline
and Arkansas Valley Railway propo-
sit;on, we judge, is something Of a: trial,
in which the people of the county say
that they want and need the road. The
action Of last Tuesday is the first def
mite work done for the road, and in
their zeal they deserve to be commend
cd. That this road will be built through
this county within the three years we
are not prepared to say. Some hcrculean
work has been accomplished in Kansas
railroad building, and things accom-
plishcd which men thought to be al
most impossible at the outstart. Then,
too, will we not have this road IN less
than three years?
Individually, We feel that We were
wise in casting our lot with the enter
prising people of Saline county. Wegave
them credit for much, but we did not APP
portion them praise to this great extent.
What is not in store for this great land
of ours? We have great treasures here
which we feel will be improved.
Let Tuesday-or rather, the result OF
Tucsday-bc loEg remembered with sat
isfaction. The people here showed them
selves to be infused with the spirit Of the
Are.

ONIyOUS.

Several of the Democratic papers of
the country, at any rate the st. Louis
Republican, arc now advocating that no
national Democratic ticket be nominated
for the next election, but instead that the
Democrats coalcse with the Republicans
dissatisfied with President Grants ad-
ministration. This advice proves two
things beyond peradventure-one is,
that the Democrats realize the force of
the late elections, and the other, that they
feel Grants strength.
The administration, since President
Grant took his seat, has been extremely
successful and prosperous; the public
debt has been decreased to commend
able extent; good men have been placed
in Offices, and betrayal of trusts rebukcd.
There have, at times, been unwlse Sc
lections made for some positions, but
where unfit men have been found out,
they have generally been replaced with
others. Tho people will not countenance
corruption, however good the principles
may be, but where worthy men, as in this
instance, are coupled with party noted
for its exemplary deeds, they will con-
tinue faithful to that party.
The late returns from Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania, California AMI other States have
completely knocked in the head all deIu-
sions Of Democratic "new departures"
There was no sincerity in these profess
sions, they judged; for what use was
there, they calculated, in eschewing a
a tried party for one that placed itself
upon the same foundation. The ground
is well taken that a Democratic Presi-
dent can not be elected at the next cleo
ton. The Republican vote is swelling
instead of diminishing. 1t is greater
now than it was year ago. Congress
will contain more Republicans than it
has for some time. 1t is even question
able whether the great Democratic State
of New York will not cast her electoral
vote for Republican. The times are
propitious for increased power of the
Republican party.
