CHICAGO, July 81 think am not far from
expressing the opinion OF most business men
OF this city, in saying that the conduct Of Mayor
Heath during the past few days has been con-
temptibly pusil1antmous and weak kneeil to the
last degree, showing most plainly to every one
his ineapacity for governing, to say nothing OF
controlling, those dangerous classes which always
collect in great city.
Decision On bis part to oct, instead Of issning
proclatnatfons, even at sacrifice OF votes for
himself in the future, would have raised him in
the eyes Of all law-abIdlng people, In place o.
putting him on record as one affail for personal
reasons, to perform his sworn duty.

pFostrat;on OF business for four days ut a cost

cumstanccs Of Thursday to the more cheerful
Of to-day, as we'll as from the general express
sions heard on all sides, any one in passing
! through the peaceahle OR business portion Of
our city this afternoon would be led to believe
that we had the mob-riot by the throat, aud
that our troubles were ended. Are these
facts or are we deceiyeds Has law and order
achieved a glorious and lasting victory, or Is
the riot simply, from sheer force, quieted for
the time being, liable at any time in the future
to again break ont at the beck of the rfurlead
ers: It is feared that the Mayor ana ci:y
authorities have been far too lenient, and thu
more vigorous measures should have been
adopted. Believing, as does the writer, that
the honest worEingman and laborer had no
hand or sympathy with the rioters, and that the
thugs, thieves, plug-uglies, and dealbeats OF
tue city, who spurn honest labor, using and
dlsgracins the term "striker'' as shield for
theft ami plumber, would it not have been bet~
Ter alter trying to disperse the mob
to teach all such wholesome
and lasting lcsson at the hands OF our brave
anu noble police force, aided by the military
VINO did such valiant service! 4 force suiIi-
ciently large auu powerful in our midst aud at
the disposal of the Mayor and city authorities
would have soop ended the riot In such cases
prompt and decisive measures are necessary, and
ioree must be met BY force. One or two well-
directed volleys fired i,4to the mob, with
been beneficial and lasting, anil would assure
our city against further attempts OF this kind.
Let the settlement be final. andthosc rourhs be
taught obedience to law and Order so thar with
tue withdrawal Of the troops they NAV not u,.ke
the second attempt. AN OBSERVER.

A CoNTRAsr.-From all parts of the At
lantic slope We hear of deep SHOWS and in
tensely cold weather. In Illinois, Iowa,
WISCONSIN and the whole tier Of Western
States, the winter has been very severe, at
tended with extreme cold. Iu this part of
Uncle Sam domain we scarcely know what
winter is, and now in the latter part of Janu-
AIRY there is not enough snow ON the ground
to hide the ruts in the roads. 1t may be said
that this is an exceptional winter. but this is
not the fact. Last winter it was scarcely
cold enough to require the use of overcoats,
and one year with another orr people are
strangers 20 severe weather People who wish
to get ont of the cold and wet, will seek
homes i'll the great interior basin.

SrEAMEKs.-The old steamer Ygkima that
has served the travelling public for the last
few years on :he upper Columbia, will soon
be rechristened as the Ne,c Yakima. She has
been entirely rebuilt, and in The course of five
weeks will again plow the waters ON her old
route. Her carrying capacity has been in
creased to a great extent, equal 10 that of
the Ne,c TelnO, which is about three hundred
tons Our shippers will have no reason TO
complain of the o. S. y. Co. now, as they
will bs enabled under this new arrangement
TO take away from Wallula over nine hun
dred tons per week.

N"'FAN, the county seat for Whitman CO, e.,
'a' he misfortune Of being named after the
'hT'''Ian statesman who hankered after the
o'eln Mobilier aud other frauds but not
"''''anding this drawback, tie town is
steadily growing and fast becoming a trading
center OF very considerable Importance. What
'he town wants is one or two merchants with
capital TO lay in stock of goods sufficient to
meet the wants of the country. We believe
'he town now boasts one or two small traders,
Who keep lishts,oeks of goods for which they
ask e1tsavagant rates. The result is that
customers when they want to buy bill of
goods come TO Wslla Walla, where they can
make Their purchases at lower figures than
g sny other town on the coast. This ar
'a' cement works altogether in our favor, but
Il i scarcely the way TO build up the inte-
nor. What CuliaK wants Is one or two live
el'ihess men who will buy their goods at
"Ai.a Wai.a. aud then sell them TO custom
''''er' at reasonable Rates. Time, however,
Vii regulate matters of this kind, and in the
H71r future Colfas promises 10 become an im-
p''snt trading voint.

NUIsANCEs.-I most large cities ordinan-
ces have teeu passed prohibiting the erection
Of stables on front streets, and restricting
them TO back alleys. We are not talking
about livery stables. but the cowsheds and
other offensive structures which some men
seem to delight in placing in the most public
positions. These stables as a rule are offen-
siVe both to sight and smell, and they may
very properly be prohibited on the score of
uuisances. \ year or two since gentleman
living ou Poplar street was almost driven from
his house through the erection and maintain
ance of a COW stable Immediately in front of
his premises. In another part of the city we
notice a stable Immediately adjoining
school room, and here the manure and filth
is forked ont right under the noses of the
children. As a rule, we regard the city gov
ernment as useless institution, but in cases
of the character here described the council
can effect much good by the passage Of an
ordinance that will Danish these eye-sores to
back alleys.

FRFIGHr.-It is now estimated that over
one thousand tons of flour, wheat and bacon
will be ready 10 go forward by the first of
February. This may seem little large, but
on inguiring We learn that Mr.. Isaacs will
have one hund.ed tons of -four alone. There
is nearly forty tons of wheat now at Whit
man station, TWO hundred tons at Wallula,
and nearly two hundred tons of wheat and
flour at our depot. The present prospects for
our local Railroad for the spring frlighting
looks very cheering.

AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY.-During last
season over one hundred thousand dollars
worth of agricultural machinery was sold to
the farmers in Walla Walla, Columbia and
Whitman counties, and many remarked that
the country was getting overstocked, and the
farmers would get themselves burdended
with an extra debt. Rut nevertheless, our
farmers seem to be better off than ever before,
aud the demand for machinery is greatly on
the increase, hs one of the dealers in that
line of trade informs US that he has already
orders to fiji Of over seven thousand dollars
as soon as the boats commence running.

MupEw.-Ths vaults erected for the use
OF the county officials seem to be imperfect In
their construction, and as a result The books
and papers are already coated with miidew.
Means must at once be taken to remedy this
defect. OF o'horwi,e in year or two valuable
records will be destroyed. Some of the books
belonging 20 the Auditors office are badly
milirwrd. md in q few months the writing
will become lllcgiblo. Evidently there is a
fault in the construction Of the vault, and
thn commissioners should at once have II rem
yli.d.
, 1877-01-20

y LCu IN BUsINESS-Fur some reason
or other it 50 happens that when the boats
suspend their trips for the season a stagnatiou
IN business uniformly follows. All through
the fall aud early winter business was re-
maTkaSly active, but Just as soon as the
boats ''e3 up this activity gave place to lerh-
a7gy The experience Of tbs year is only
repetition Of previous experience, and we re.
iar to II now as preliminary to expressing the
hope that he boats viii resume their trips at
ths earliest possible moment. We have
thousands Of tons of produce awaiting ship
ment, and Just as soon a. the boats commence
10 run tins produce will goforward. Activity
On 'he Tlver means activity ON the land, and
hence II will te welcome news to learn that
'Ae boats are again rnrned loose.
