Events, then, reproduce themselves
after certain cycles, within which political
causes operate to renew again antecedent
situations.
We omit, for want of space, q review Of
the events accruing from 1861 to 1865,
but extracts might be made from the same
history to prove tie existence of q
state of social turbulence, arising from
the war between natives and aliens, and
the embarrassed state Of the public city
finances, that corresponds with the pres
ent and indeed normal condition Of our
city.

CHICAGO INTERDICTED,

The fire insurance companies have pro.
scribed and interdicted the city Of Chicago
as contumacious and unworthy of protec-
ton against that universal enemy. fire.
This will no doubt inspire terror through.
out the Phoenix City, and the real estate
owners will hasten to propitiate the in.
surance magnates by complying with any
conditions they may impose upon the sal.
vation Of their brick and mortar. If,
however. the fire insurance companies
should prove no more responsible on their
future policies than at the consuming con-
aagration Of the past their guarantee
would by no means indemnify sufferers
for the full extent of their losses.
We have always regarded Chicago as
enjoying an entire immunity from tradi-
tons Of all sorts. hence her citizens have
combined 70 do what was pleasing in
their own sight without being at all I'm.
happy lest their ancestors might not like
it. Hence the first close connection be.
tween their railroads and shipping; the
immediate delivery Of produce into the
warehouse instead Of to the middlemau,

TIE LETTER OF GOVERNOR KELLOGG.

TIE LETTER OF GOVERNOR KELLOGG.
The fair and manly letter Of Governor
Kellogg to the people OF the United
States. must commend itself to all dis
interested persons who are at all CONVEX
SAINT with the affairs of this State. With
out displaying particle Of malice OF vim
dictiyepess toward those who seek to
drive him from his position. and who
have vituperated him SO cruelty. he pre-
sents the situation and its causes in the
unanswerable logic Of q sequence OF facts.
The efforts OF the Democracy by sio-
lence in 1868. fraud in 1872. duplicity in
1878, and again by violence. on the four.
tenth Of last month, TO obtain control of
the Offices. are briefly. but admirably set
forth. The discussion Of the financial
condition Of the State and the indefinite
charges Of fraud is more at length and &c.
cupies the body Of the letter. The con.
trast between Governor Kellogg's admins.
tration of two years and those Of the nine
preceding years in reducing, instead Of
increasing the debt. is clearly presented.
His efforts to relieve the State Of the
enormous burden OF debt and the oppres-
sion Of excessive taxation are modestly
referred to. and he gives greater credit to
the law officers and the courts of the State
in reducing the appropriation bill than be
assumes for the measures recommended
by him which save tea times the amount.
In relation to the constitutional amend
ments necessary to carry out these re.
forms, the action Of the Democratic party
in repudiating them is happily and cor
rectly referred to as an intention to pre-.
vent recognition Of the Legislature. while
as soon as there seemed chance for an
Office no objection to it is heard.
Coming to the personal issue between
himself and Colonel McEnery. Governor
Kellogg impartially states. first. the issues
and conduct Of the campaign, with the
Fusion admission that he ran ahead OF
his ticket; next. his efforts to submit the
question raised on the election to arbi.
traitors, and his unsuccessful efforts to
obtain an opportunity 70 show his oppo.
nents. by proofs then in their own hands,
he had been fairly elected. and. lastly,
new evidence Ct fraud which was used
against him.
A succinc: comparison Of the election
and registration laws follows. and the
greater certainty Of fairness under those
now in force conclusively shown.
In conclusion, the Governor appeals to
the Republicans Of the North for con.
sideration and sympathy. and his appeal
vii. not be disregarded.

with the dealing in evidences Of produce
as credits or currency. From this entire
independence of anything that any body
had ever done before, came the thrustine
q tunnel mile or so under the bed Of the
lake and the supply Of pure water to the
basement and upper stories OF the city.
Seeing that the lordly insurance COM
panies do not seem pleased with the sup
ply Of water OF character of the engines
furnished by Chicago, question has oc-
| cured to US which we submit to the press
of that city. If Chicago now supplies the
water and furnishes the machinery for ex-
tinguishing the fires, why not take the in
surance herself? 4 city insurance bureau
would command the confidence OF the
people, and any profit above the cost OF
water and engines could 60 to reduce taxa
ton. Let Chicago, like Charles Morgan
on his ships, take her own insurance. II
it pays company, it would pay her, and
she would be at least Independent OF any
blackmail OF other combination to compel
the mourning of expenses which only tend
to enhance the profits Of foreign UNDER
writer's.
1t is proper 70 say We have often thought
Of this subject in connection with the
protection OF indemnity OF cities, and
have met in our own mind the ostensible
objection to State OF city becoming an
insurer. We should apprehend such ma
chinery in our own OF any other city
where tie administration might become
political spoil. but with the holiness.
originality and capacity for administering
public enterprises which Chicago has
manifested. We can not see why if one
bureau raises the water, another regulates
the engines. a third might not direct the
application OF these agents to the e1tin-
punishment of fires. We offer the sugges-
ton by which Chicago may either block
the policy lords. OF if they can neither be
opposed nor appeased. let Chicago under
write for herself. She will have It to do
in any event.
