The new city council is met on the vel

The new city council is met on the very
threshold of its administration with
proposition, or rather request, for the spe-
cial privilege to at least strain the latitude
of one of our most important city ordi-
nances, that with reference to fire limit
in which it was ordained last November
that no wooden buildings sho uld there
after be constructed, and in which only
such as shall be protected by fire proof
roof and walls of brick or stone'' shall be
erected. As We have said, it would be
stra,ning the latitude Of that ordinance
10 allow the construction Of veneered
building within the prescribed limits COW
cred by that specific provision of the or
dinance. The mere fact of the request
being made implies that the party maxi
ing it regarded it as special privilege
for there is no occasion for asking the
consent of the council to comply with the

WITH all the laws the legislature OF
Illinois has passed with reference to op-
tions the Chicago grain gamblers still Fl nd
many ways in which to prosecute their
wonted schemes for fleeing the bucolic
dealer who backs up his judgment of the
future price of cereals with all his own
and as much of his neighbor's money as
he can borrow. A man would have as
many chances of success in the faro banks
of that city as in grain speculations on
the board of trade. There have been
more defalcatiors of officers and persons
filling positions of financial trust from
grain deals in that city than from bucking
the tiger IN all of her gambling dens. and
where results are practically the same 1t
isn't worth while to parley about the
name of the means employed or split
hairs about the difference in principles
involved. AS long as there is no law
against a man making fool of himself
he cannot be prevented from taking a
hand IN Chicago grain deals or other gam
bling schemes for getting something for
nothing.

The prepat ations being made in chi
cago by the subcommittee of the ma
tional republican convention are on a
scale of monster proportions, and the
convention bids fair to be the largest as
sembly of the kind ever held IN the
United States. A national republican
nominating convention has come to be
looked upon as the body that will name
the next president of the United States,
and such being the case more interest
and importance attaches to 1t every sue
ceeding quadrennial meeting. 1t is true
the democrats extract a great deal
ephemeral pleasure in meeting together
in like manner and denouncing the repub-
lican party for keeping them out in the
cold, in a document called platform,
but they have become so thoroughly ac-
cllmated to tina. political latitude that
they do this more from the force of habit
than otherwise. ..

JAMESTOWN. d. T.. FRIDAY, APRIL IL, 1884.

SECRETARY Teller who, in the absence
of Gov. Ordway, is acting governor has
appointed aud proclaimed Wednesday,
April %, an Arbor Day, which the people
are earnestly requested to devote to plant
ing fsrest trees on their farms, and ON
their lots in the towns. This Is o worthy
enterprise and as far as possible the peo-
pie all over the territory should make it q
point to observe the day as requested. 1t
IS q custom that has prevailed for several
years IN some of the northwestern states
with the most salutary results. The in
fluence of forests upon the rainfall and in
modifying the r,gors of climate IN the
winter IS we'll recognized, and as the peo-
pie have these influences and moditica-
tions so much in their own hands it would
not seem 10 require anything more than
the suggestion to enlist their interest IN

every place of holding terms of the dis
trict courts IN the territory, and one of
the judges so worn out that he had to 60
out of reach of judicial business on the
imperative direction of his physician to
recuperste his impaired health; with new
counties which have provided themselves
with court houses demanding terms Of
court whic b they cannot obtain, and their
citizens being dragged to other counties
hundred miles away from their homes
to transact such business, it would not
seem to require any other argument for
the passage of the judicial bill for this
territory now pending before congress;
and in view of these circumstances it
would seem to be difficult to find an
adequate or even plausible excuse for
withho oldlng this needed legislation. The
division Of the territory, the admission of
part or the whole as state, are mat
ters of taste and opinion which will not
seriously suffer from delay, but the trans
action of judicial business IS necessity
the delay of which Is hardship and
damage to the people which they cannot
suffer in silence. especially when the
remedy is willfully withheld from them
by the body whose power and duty it is to
supply it.

TUESDAY was warm day in congress
when the bill requiring the governor of a
territory to be resident of such terrific
ry at least two years before his appoint
ment came up and was opposed by
Kasson, of Iowa, on constitutional
grounds, by Eaton. of Connecticut, be-
cause 1t would limit the right of presi-
Dental appointments; and was supported
by Maginnls, of Montana, Brents, of
Washington territory, and Tillman, of
South Carolina. Delegate Maginnls said
the object of the bill was to mitigate
"one of the evils of the most infamous
system of colonial government the world
had ever seen." Delegate Brents pointed
out the Inconsistency of allowing Rhode
Island to elect its governor and denying
the territories. some with five times the
the poor privilege of having
their executive appointed from among
their ewn citizens" Tillman, of South
Caroliua, compared the importation Of
governors into the territories to the car
pet baggers who some years ago were
foisted upon the southern states, by
which term they meant "a stranger who
came among them to get Office and moth
ing but Office, who prostituted Office for
personal gam. and who when he could
no longer rob and oppress, gathered up
his CARPET bag and went as he came"
After an acrimonious discussion for some-
time the bill passed.

week when he went before the house
committee on territories and prevailed
upon its members to report favorably on
the bill doubling the representation in
both houses of the territorial legislature,
increasing the membership of the council
to "A and that of the house to 48. If the
bill finally becomes law, as it should it
will bring the law making power nearer

idly enforce representation of their

making power is from the people the

last year to increase the liquor license to

THE presidential boom for senator Ed
lnunds, of Vermont, is growing rapidly in
the east and he will probably come into
the Chicago convention with a larger
number of votes than any other candidate
in the field, and the indications now are
that he will have to his support the solid
New York delegation. AS his strength
increases that of Blaine decreases. Ar
thur is virtually out of the race, his only
chance being that of dark horse in case
of a stubborn contest. The question
seems to be narrowing down to Edmunds
and Logan, with Blaine as side issue
and bare possibility. Senator Edmunds
has q strong hold upon the good will and
wishes of the people of Dakota, for it was
through his influence that Dakota citi-
zen, Judge Palmer, was appointed TO fill
the vacancy on the supreme bench of this
territory occasioned by the death of Judge
Kldder, instead Of carpet Dagger from
some of the states, which is something
for which the people are neither. .unmind-
full nor ungrateful. Senator Edmunds IS

ruptible in integrity, profound in states
manship and a patriot Of the truest type.
