FIRST WARD REPUBLICANS.

FIRST WARD REPUBLICANS.
A meeting Of the First Ward Consolidated
Club was held last evening at the Pacific Hotel,
for the purpose of organizing Hayes and
Wheeler company. Col. Abner Taylor presided.
Short speeches were made by the Chair and
Messrs. L. L. Coburn and John c. Dore. A
mustcr-roll was opened and seventy-fyc names
were inscribed, c. L. Easton was unanimously
elected Captain. After some debate and m in
specion of samples of uniforms, which were
presented, it was resolved that the company
adopt the Continental style. Messrs. Dorc, Co
burn, and Easton subscribed S25 apiece, and q
subscription paper was put in the hands of Col
Taylor for circulation. At the conclusion OF the
meeting some forty of the members Of the Club
donncd the Continental, lit their torches
and tamebeaux,. and, preceded By
fife. and drum, made parade
through few Of the principal streets in the bus1-
ness portion of the city. A large hall i'll the
Grand Central Hotel has been secured as drill
room. The next meeting Of the company will
be held Saturday evening.

CHICAGO, July 29.-Afichigan avenue needs:
First-A recoating with gravel from Lake to
Thirty-ninth streets, with the least possible de-
lay,-not with house-sand, or sand from the
shore OF the lake, but with gravel such as has
lately been laid down upon this avenue between
Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets. It is not
necessary that 1t be regrayeled heavily, or at
great expense,-a light coating at the present
time will answer every purpose until the citY's
finances shall get into better shape.

ton. 1t Is well known that the population Of

CHICAGO, July oo.-Scarccly more than mere
mention has been made OF the death Of Frost
Thorne, one OF the victims OF the s'Mohawk ~
disaster, and 1t seems that his early dcccase
ought to receive something besides passing
notice.
Mr.. Thorne was not an old resident Of Chica-
go, having lived here less than thres years, yet
his genial disposition and excellent address
secured him hosts Of friends. His position as
leading member Of the firm Of Thorne s, Crit
tenden, agents for the great house OF Garner &
Co., brought him into intimate relations with
the jobbing dry goods trade, nearly every men,
ber of Which was his friend,--and so, indeed,
was every attachc with whom he was brought
into contact. The writer was one of his near
neiChbors, and surely more pleasant and hon.
orable man and neighbor it would be hard to
find.
Youthful, vigorous, intelligent, with the
prospect Of q career in society and in the busi-
ness world that any one SO young might have
enyied him,-hc has passed away like the dew

CHICAGO, July 20.-The Council have seen
proper to direct the Board Of Education to dis
continue the further study of music and draw
ing in the public schools. Ninc-tcnths of the
pupils in our schools pursue those branches
with profit, as shown BY results attained. One
tenth OF the pupils, as shown by the last an
nunl report Of the Board OF Education, study
German, at cost for this one branch Of
$4,000; $1,600 Of this amount was paid to
Superintendent OF German to look after the
work of seventeen teachers Of German. It
would seem that, here is q good
field for rctrenchmcnt. Drawing aud music
could have been retained the coming year at IN
extra expense OF $4,000. As at present con-
Quoted, German is nuisance in every room in
which 1t is taught. Il but fifteen pupils out Of
sixty in room stuky German, the regular
teacher Of the room must suspend class-iyork
for one-half hour each day for the benefit of the
fifteen. The remaining torty-tve must have no
longer lessons than if they took German, but
are really kept back for the benefit Of the IT.
teen. Throw out the German while rctrench-
ment is the cry, and thereby save not only dol
lars, but much valuable time for the solid
branches Of good, practical education.

To the Editor ef The Tribune.
| CHICAGO, july 29:-I read with great salts
faction your article on the demonetization of tho
silver dollar and recommending the repeal Of
the net of 1873, and restoring our silver dollar
to the place it has held in our money system
from the very commencement OF the Govern
mcnt.
When our bonds were issued, this silver dol
lar was "coin" by law, and was legal tender
for all debts equally with gold. It can not be
contcndcd that the various fluctuations in value
III the markets ofthe world OF either the gold or
silver dollar which have occurred from time to
time since the issue Of our bonds or which here :
after occur, either on the intrinsic or compare
tive market value Of these coins, affect our
right to pav the bonds in the currency in which
they specifically made payable, viz: "coin,"
which term is legally applicable to the silver
dollar equally with the gold coins of the ,coun-
try, and has ever been SO until the passage of
the act Of 1873, which foollshly deprived thu sill
yer dollar of its lesa-tcnder quality.
The results OF this i1l-considercd action of
Congress in demonctizing the silver dollar are
likely to be most injurious. We have silver
mines of large extent and value, and should not
place ourselves III position where, in conse-
qucncc Of unusual and unexccptional causes,
the value OF gold being duly appreciated, VIC
may be forced to pay our debts at a higher cost
than the contract requires.
It is all we can be expected to do, and all that
either by the letter of the contract or by equity
and good faith VI are obliged to DO, to pay the
debt in the gold and silver coin which CONSTITUTE
ed the ''coin" Of the country, and was legal
tender for MI debts at the time the bonds were
issued.
The Republican party made an error in pass
ing the act Of 1873, and I trust that the error
will BE- rcctiticd ut once by repeal Of that act,
and the re-establishment Of the silver dollar to
its original position as 81 coin u and legal
tender for debts before the present Congress
adjourns. E, G. LARNED.

CHICAGO, July 29.-OuF city fathers are vast
ing much precious time in discussing plans and
schemes to cxtricate our city from its financial
embarrassment, and every true Chicagoan feels
deep interest in the matter, and surely feels
anxious to have this question speedily settled
The reduction in men and salaries has been ar-
gucd and adopted without giving general salts
faction. Tinkcrng Oil an old kettle never makes
it ncw. The Council must abolish the Boards,
the departments, and clerkships which are OBJ
noxious or not absolutely necessary, and keep
the least help to move the wheel OF the City
Government. But how about the money!
The law allows the borrowing Of funds ON
the assessed tax-1eyv of the fiscal year.
Well, then, issue city scrip in sums Of IS only,
bearing 7.3O per cent interest, receivable for
city taxes, when due, with the accrued interest.
Pay the city employees with this scrip, anu every
baker, grocer, tailor, shoemaker, butcher, and
yea, the banker will take them, aud III due time
they will find their way into the clty's Treasury
not as certificates, but as receipts in full-as 4
cancelled debt. :
The savings made by retrcnchmcnt and the
$500, 600 appropriated By the last Council, will
be nearly enough to stave off the disgrace
Stop noralizing, city fathers, and come to
time and terms, and the good people of our
city will surely swallow then Il popular loan,
and help to lift the city's credit up to par.
