ANOTHER FIRE swept over large pof'
ton of the city of Chicago, which broke
ont in an oil factory, en- Tuesday after
noon. The destruction seems to nave
been mostly confined to that portion OF
the CITY that escaped the fire OF 1871. Its
work was mostly among wood buildings
and the losses fall upon those who could
lose but little, but that little was their all
A stiff southwest breeze was blowing
and Notwithstanding the vigorous enorus
of the firemen, those efforts were almost
without effect, until the flames reached
the brick and stone of the rebuilt quarter
Here an impression was made, and the
progress of the fire soon stopped. The
space burned over is put by the Chicago
Tribune at sixty acres. Hundreds of fam
lilies are homeless and destitute and
thrown upon the sympaihies and henev-
olence of those who have hearts and
purses and ability to afford relief 1t is
not surprising that the fire should have
taken such sudden and resistless. start
when we consider that it originated in
district of narrow streets, and where in
iammable buildings we're stored with
rags, paper, lard, and the various COM
pounds denominated OIL In close prox-
unity to all these buildings were an indef-
mite number of barns, cow houses, car
penter shops and every description of
wooden structures into which human be-
ings and dumb beasts could be crowded.
Fed at the start with the contents ofan
oil factory, the fire rushed upon the fuel
spread out before it, defyiDg all human
efforts to arrest 1.-THE sheet of flame
driven by the gale, was irresistible.
Chicago has been taught another les
son, and probably this repeated expert
euce will lead to a prohibition of the erec-
ton of wood buildings within the city
limits

The grasshoppers are destroying nearly
everything in the way of crops-wheat,
especially-in some half dozen counties
of Minnesota, and leaving the farmers so
destitute and shorn of all dependance,
that an appeal has been made by the Gov
ernor to the other portions of the State
for assistance to the unfortunate inhabi-
tants of the counties named. Though
corn and garden vegetables are not select
ed at first, or when wheat is within reach,
yet when the latter fails. corn fields and
gardens are not suffered to escape.

stock is due to the diminished activity of
trade.

now making short visit to his

Gen. Sherwood for new man in

bic record indeed, and we are sure
that if he is returned, and he GER
tainly ought to be, he will be able
to do for the State, for his district
and his own reputation ten times
more than he has already done,
Within the party of his district he
will have no opposition, but the in
defatigable, irrepressable, inflated
tOwnsite Jim Ashley, sighs once
more to shake his locks in the House,
and it is said that he is to give the
General battle for the place. 1t will
not take Sherwood long, however,
to make hole in that bag of bad
wind, and when it is done, great will
be the odor thereof.

The appropriation bills passed by Con-
gress, were subjected TO a close scrutiny,
and much labor was spent in ascertaining
where saving could be made. The re-
suit was that the sums finally voted were
twenty eight millions less thar in similar
bills last year. This became necessity,
as the financial depression largely reduc-
ed the revenues, and it became necessary
either to reduce expenses, or an increase
of taxation, Congress wisely determined
to reduce expenses, and the above is the
result. The people will applaud the act.

lanes a. GarfeId.

General Garfield can felicitate him
self to-day on the fact that around
the Departments in Washington he
is the best hated man of Congress.
As chairman of the Committee on
Appropriations he led the van in the
Congressional raid upon the super
numerary clerks, and drove them
from their sinecures out into the
cold world to make an honest living
by honest labor. OF course they do
not like the turn which has been
given to the wheel of fortune, and
holding Garfield responsible for the
Congressional action, visit upon him
their indignant wrath. While they
bewail their lamentable lot and NUT
ter deep curses against its author the
country is thankful that there is
man with the courage to assume the
responsibility of protecting the treas
ury against those who drew salaries
without earning them and pay for
their idleness.
General Garfield has done for the
country many good service, but
never has he done better than during
the first session of the Forty-third
Congress. In the distinguished po-
sition he held he stood an insupera-
bic barrier against any form of un-
necessary increase of the expenses of
the Government, and fearlessly
struck the knife into the book of es-
Inmates until it saved for the peopIe
in Government expenditures annual
ly nearly tweuty-eight millions of
dollars. Let no one say that this
saving is merely nominal, to be
made up next session by deficiency
bill, for Congress has enacted law
with the strongest penalties prohibit
ing the executing officers of the Gov
ernment from exceeding appropria-
tions. Against the man to whom
the country owes so much and of
whom his constituents are so proud
some pickayune politicians of his
district are arraying themselves.
Had these upstarts General Garfeld's
ability they have not his political ex-
perience and knowledge of the work !
ings of the Government, and If they |
have his experience and knowledge, |
it would be many years before they
could convince Congress they have
them, and thus exert the influence in
Washington for the good of the
country and their constituents,
which General Garfield does to-day.
It is truly remarkable that of the
'eally eminent men of the old nine
,eenth, such as Glidden, Day or
Tinker, there is none to present him
elf for Garfeld's place. Men how
,ver like L. G. Jones, who can prom
Sc as ambiguously as a Delphic ora
lie, make statements like liar, and
obtain votes by pledges, which he is
700 mean to redeem, are anxious to
nave their littleness seen by sitting

Theodore Tilton has published an
other letter in regard to the Beech
er scandal. The substance of it is
that the letter to Bacon was not
meant to be aggressive, but in self
defense; and that further provoca-
tion was needed to call from him a
full charge against Mr.. Beecher.-
Such a provocation he says, is fur
nished by the letter of Mr.. Beecher
to the Examining Committee. He
accepts the challenge and within ten
days will give to the Investigating
Committee all the facts, having pre-
viously taken the care to sift them,
and make oath before magistrate,
to such as he desires to substantiate.
Mr.. Tilton has taken the only course
that was open to him; and he has
taken it with all the promptess and
moderateness of manner that could
have been expected.
