THE GLIB CONNENTION.

The convention Of delegates from
the various Republican clubs of this
state at Springfield on Tuesday, in re-
gard to which such lofty expectations
were entertained, was upon the whole
very akin to IA failure. Instead of
POO delegates, a. had been expected,
but about 400 appear to have been
present,
The convention, or 'leaguc,' was
called to order at II o'clock by its
president, w. w. Tracy, who read "A
rather platitudiouS speech. which the
convention received with apparent
uuict favor. Then followed the speech
of welcome by Gov. Fifcr. which, TO
the surprise and disgust of most dele
gates, instead of being "A dignlticd,
manly statement or defense Of ltcpub-
lican principles and action. consisted
of a low and abusive attack on Gov.
Palmer, his competitor in 1888, as well
as upon few other prominent Demo
Gratis present in the hall. II was a
lOw-dOwn harranguc, an ailrOnt to the
Intelligence of his audience, and APP
pears 10 have been so regarded by most
of Them who made no attempt to con-
ceal their disgust.
II was mainly on account of this
mal-adroit speech, it i, alleged, that
the big fight between the filer-Tan-
ncr-Cullom ring on one side and the
Pavcy-Pearson ring on the other,
which it was supposed would be the
only thing to give zest to the cOnvcn-
ton. failed entirely to matcriaizc.
by mutual agreement, apparently the
pavcy ring was allowed to run the
convention in its own way, and Tan
ncr, Fifer and their licutcnantS kent
mcckly in the back ground. The only
incident that raised the whole con
ycntion above the level Of utter dull
ness was a fine speech by John NJ.
ThurStOn, Of Nebraska, chairman Of
the last Republican national conyen-
ton. This put the boys in good humor
and saved the convention from an ad-
jOurnment in appointment and dis
gust. The only resolution passed was
an omnibus one praising Harrison,
Fifcr, Culonl, Farwcll, Tom Reed and
the Republican party; and the other
business, for which alone the conven-
ton was ostcnsibly ca He'd, consisted
I'm the reelection of the old officers of
the league for the next year and the
appointment of delegates to the Ma
tional Club Convention to be held at
Nashville in March. In the evening
such delegates as remained over were
accorded brilliant reception" at the
governors mansion.

YHE NEWS.
THURSDAY.

Parts of Tennessee and Kentucky
were struck by cyclone early on Tues
day morning. Brownsville, Tenn,
was considerably damaged in its bust
ness centre, the loss being about
$4,000. But one residence was IN
iured. One woman, three miles from
town, was killed. At Keathley, Tenn,
a bank building was blown down, and
six persons slightly injured. AT
Marion, Ky, the court house, opera
house and several other buildings were
unroofed; and at Hot Springs, Ark,
considerable minor damage was done.
The convention of Republican clubs
at Springfield yesterday reelected the
old officers, and adopted set OF reNo-
lutions congratulating themselves ana
the party on the grand work in the
'SS campaign, endorsing everything
Republican in sight and expressing
unwavering faith in the party to meet
fairly all important issues ON economic
questions of the day. Delegates were
also appointed to attend the National
League convention to be held at Nash
vile, Tenn, on March 4.
The Ohio river and its tributaries
above Cincinnati are now running
bank full, and all the elemental pre-
ludes to a destructive flood are now
seen at Cincinnati, where already the
river is so high that large river boats
cannot pass the suspension bridge.
The rise in the past fOrty-eight hours
has been about ten feet, giving 40.

In the Joliet Ne,rS of the DIST is pub
lishcd correspondence between Hon.
Il. f. Barber and the late Canal SUI
perintcndcnt VIM. Thomas, in which
occur some items of interest, especial
~ on the ''Sludgc' question. When
the deep cut was finished in 1871 and
the black water of Chicago river was
turned this way, says Mr.. Barber, it
came at first nasty, putrid stream,
but in two or three weeks cleaned it
self and thcnceiorth ran over thcJoict
dams, apparently pure lake water.
What caused the cessation Of that
flows and why was the bridgeport
pumping system restored? At the
same time the first flow from Chicago
river deposited in the Joliet pools and
Lake Joliet large MASSES of sludgc,
which have been increasing ever since.
If the enlarged drainage system con
tcmplatcd by Chicago is carried out,
will not the accumulation Of this
sludgc in the river below be cnorm-
ously increased and not cause an
uncomfortable nuisance and great dam
age to the people Of the DcsplaincS and
Illinois valleys?
The answer of Mr.. Thomas covers a
good many other points, hut we shall
try To gather from il at present en-
lightcnment only on the "sludgc"
question. The deep cut plan, when
opened in 1871, worked beautifully be-
cause, fortunately, it happened to be
a very dry year, so that no other
water entered the canal except from
the Chicago river, and the lake being
exceptionally high that year--l0 feet
on the floor of the lock at Bridgeport
Of course there was abundance OF
water and TO spare TO I'LL the feet
added TO the depth of the canal. The
depth OF the lake and Chicago river,
however, isTan exceedingly variable
quantity, and the lake often falling SO
low since then as TO afford but two OF
three feet Of water for the canal, the
pumps had to DE restored.
But as Ia the "sludge." In 1871
there were no glue factories or render
ing houses on the South Branch, and
there was nothing but sewage to be-
foul the water. Since then, however,
The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1890-03-01

not only glue and other filth produc-
ing factories have come TO line the
river, but many bitches have come
into being between BRIDGEPORT and La
mont, carrying large quantities Of
soil and clay into the canal. Then
the North Branch has been added,
with the sludgc Of all its tanneries,
| distillercs and sewage, and the stock
yards, since located on the south fork
send their supply. In addition, the
Ogden and Wentworth ditch was
opened in 1872, then about 20 feet
wide and I feet deep but now 100 feet
wide and 20 feet deep, draining all the
Mud Lake country and the Upper
Desplaincs into the canal with their
enormous "sludge" to fiji up the Des-
PLANES river below Lockport. And in
addition bitches on either side of the
G.. Trunk and other railroads, and
hundreds of other bitches, indeed, are
all washing 'sludge" into the canal
Enormous quantities are annually
taken out by the dredge, but still
there is enough to account for the de-
post below Lockport, as well aS to
account for the impossibiity Of keep
ing up water in the canal from Chi
cagO river without the use of the
pumps.
But when the Chicago drainage Sys-
tenn as now contemplated. and her
tanncries, brewerieS, slaughter and
packing houses, stock yards and rem
dcring establishments are compelled,
as the law requires, to keep their Oiial
out Of the ditch and nothing is al
lowed to enter it but Chicago sewage
proper-such as passes through the
sewers in a liquid statc-the people of
the valleys below will have nothing
to fear from Chicago sewage Asa
vast swampy area, however, is to be-
drained into the ditch, of course there
will be any quantity of additional
'sludge," but this, as now drcdgcd
out of the canal, is really little else
than clay, and very good clay for
brickmaking at that. This will pass
down the river and fiji up the pools
and dams, so that the only thing to do
is, as Capt. Mccormick suggests, to
take out the dams and give it free
passage to the Mississippi and the
Gulf. Insteadof the sluggish water of
the Illinois, largely impregnated with
decaying vegetation, our river will be
largely made up of pure water from
the lake, in which Chicago sewage
proper, two-thirdS of which now
passes into the river, will be but as
drop in the bucket.

AS Mr.. Blaine's Pan-American con-
gress transacts all its business with
closed doors, it is only on rare chance
occasions that enough of its dOings
leak out TO Justify a newspaper refer
ence to its actions or reminder Of its
existence. Having come to cOnclus-
ion on one grand point, however, the
congress appears willing the public
shall know the fact. That point is,
its agreement to recommend the con-
struction of a grand continental rail
way, extending from the northern
borders of the L. 5. to Paraguay, TAX
ing in the principal cities Of all the
countries through which it passes on
its route. OF course work of such
magnitude must he encouraged by
land grants and the admission free of
duty of all material used in its con-
struction. Such an outcome of the
congress must of course be exceed
ingly disappointing to Mr.. Blaine,
who called it principally in the inter
est of steamship subsidies, in refer
ence to which the congress seems to be
singularly Indifferent.
