Henry Clay Dean,

This gentleman, so we'll known to faue,
has just arrived from a four weeks trim
to California, where he pursued his inves
tigation into the financial and social con
dition of that commonwealth He de-
clares emphat.caily that financially the
golden state is in a most deplorable cor
ditlon worse than that of any other in the
Union. Her milionaires are frauds. and
their reputed wealth a chimera. One
half the state is owned by Europeans, and
four-ffths of all the manual labor is per-
formed by Chinese, Speculation runs
wild, everything is morteaged, and while
the people are clever they are also Irofli-
gate. California in the future promises to
be distant province of China. The i'm
mense Immigration to that state, which is
stimulated by false newspaper accounts Of
the Eldorado he considers most unfortun-
ate and wicked, because thousands of poor
men are there to day without employment
or the possibility of returning to their
homes. There is no country to com,
pare with the Mississippi Valley, he says,
and its people will agree with him.

New Placing Mill.

W, l. Reed Il Co., the enterprising lum-
Der dealers, have commenced on the
framing of their new planning mill, just be,
low the boat yard, in the lower part of the
CITY. The heavy machinery is also being
put in. The building will at present be
"a by so feet, two stories high, and.built al
most entirely Of sheet iron, so as to escape
the many dangers from fire. Next spring,
if the business will afford, the mill will be
enlarged.
This firm is entitled to considerable
credit for the enterprise it has shown while
in business here. 1t formerly had only
one yard here, just below the Peoria round
house, but the largely increasing business
compelled the firm to lease the ground
from Hon. Bailey Davenport, where it is now
building fine planning MILL besides start
ing another lumber yard there. The fru
also has several branch yards on the PEG
ria and other roads.
The p. & r. l. road will soon build q
side track to the new mill.

His influence,

The Chicago Times, in generally truth
full review of the life of the late Vice-Pre
sident Wilson says:
With neither brilliant parts nor marked indvid
uality he passes away eav ing absolutely nothing to
mark the real influence he has exerteh upon the
events of his rime, Essentially commonplace II
every fibre OF his being. he leaves sume faint marks
bit never ilumines the most striking epoch Of
American history.
He was not brilliant, like Clay and
Choate, nor solid, like Webster and Cal
houn. He was neither learned, nor elo-
quent or brilliant,-bu the real influence
he has exerted" upon the young men of
this country deserves more praise than that
of all the immoral brilliant men, like Clay
and Webster, that the country ever pro
duced. Purity of character, temperance
and frugaiity are qualities needed by the
young men of this country. Without
these the country will soon be on the high
road to ruin. Extravaganza, intemper-
ance, immortality and public dishonesty ar:
the prevailing traits of our brilliant" pub
lie men. And 1.-THE influence" of Henry
Wilson's life will long live as an example
for the young men of America to follow
His example is the very best of any man I
on record, while that of the brilliant an(
great men, like Clay and Webster, SHOULD
be Stunned.
