J. w. HueeINs, Ottumwa, Iowa.
Dear Sir:-We are now stopping
here. We have been at different
places this winter and find the climate
better here than at any place we have
been. The thermometer indicates from
70 to so degrees night and day at this
time. 1t has been colder than that
however. for a short time. About two
weeks ago it was down to 40 degrees.
A person feels the cold much more
sensibly here than in the states. There
is kind Of damp penetrating atmos-
phere that think is not very good for
invalids, and it is the same all over the
country except on the mountains below
the line of snow. 1t has rained here
up to this time about s days in all, with
but little fog or wind. see from the
papers that you are having very Sc
we're winter in the States; yet with all
the severity believe l prefer the regu-
lar changes Of season to this sameness,
with nothing to indicate the different
seasons except the prevalence of fog
and wind which prevails more at one
season than another.
Business is stagnant and everything
seems to be overdone. Monopoly in
business is almost universal. The c..
p. r. controls all the railroads and
nearly all the shipping interests. Hun
dreds Of vessels have been chartered
by the company; consequently the far
mers can dispose of their abundant
crop of wheat only through enc chan
mel and at such prices as they will pay
without competition entering into the
question at all. On the other hand
the Bank of California controls most
of the moneyed interests in the way of
rich mines. All The best seem to be
under its control, and various other
things such as large and valuable Boz
dies of coal, timber, &C.
We did expect to 60 to Santa Bar
barry, about 800 miles south of this, to
spend the winter; but we learn that
the place is full of invalids, and accom-
modations poor, SO we have given up
going there.

Let us add that 1t does not become Chicago TO
say TOO much about rolling In luxury after its
conduct with reference TO Memphis. II was ten
or twelve days after Cincinnati had begun 10
send her money TO the aid OF the destitute before
Chicago bethought herself that she had any duty
TO perform In the premises. Then some Of her
merchants, ashamed Of the olty's course, went
round the streets and succeeded In raising some
four or 1--WE thousand dollars. Meantime the
Chicago relief fund, amounting TO more than
$500, 900. remained In bank tile. In the hour Of
Chlcsgos great need Memphis had contributed
CSC, 900 to relieve her suffering. The managers
OF that relief fund were appealed To To Increase
the small donations 0f tho merchants. At nrst
they refused. They said they had no authority
to pay ont any OF that money. When they were
asked II they did not have as much right TO pay
1t out az to receive II, they made no answer, but
let q beggarly $4,000 slip through their purse
strings, Thls sum was less than the interest on
the money Memphis had given, two years be-
fore, to Chlcago.
