mo greater proof could he afforded of the
subservi ency of Chicago's counciimcn to
the multi-millionaires of the stock yards
than thep assage by them OF an ordinance
forblddng the slaughtering of horses for
food, and the abolition of the special abb
attoirs where this was done" said j. Il.
Stone of Chicago, an old insurance man:
land the passage of law requiring that
all fire insurance companies pay to the fire
de, ,artment per cent of their gross an
n,lal revenue is Il line with policy which
will! outvie all civic ring thieveries hitherto
| recorded. The passage of the latter ord-
nance will put 100000 per year into the
pockets of q gang OF knaves, against any
one of whom tho door Of an honest man,
| howerer poor, would be shut.''
William P. Kellogg, now the Republican
| boss in Louisana has had u somewhat che
quered history. He is to Louisiana what
| Tom Platt is tc New York, said L. Ii. De-
farge at the Hoienbeck yesterday. In his
early manhood he was tramping through
nearly every State in the West, looking Tor
| an income with little work attached to 1t,
but claims New Orleans as his home. tie
was horn in a little Vermont village named
| Orwell, about tho year S32. In an obscure
law office in Peoria, ILL.,, he studied law,
| and in 1854, think was admitted to
practice in Fulton county IN that state.
He was bumptious youth ana looks to
politics naturally, which secured him the
| nomination to the Republican convention
! Of 1856 and 1860, and was also presi-
dental elector both times. He was elected
to the Senate and served from 1858 to
1871. The custom house branch of his
party nominated him for Governor in
| 1872 and he was successful in making a
deal, which gave him the nominee for the
entire party which was made the easier by
the split in tho Democratic ranks at that
time. McEnery was his opponent and it is

but kellogg succeeded in obtaining a tenn
porary injunction in United States court
restraining the returning board from an
nouncng the result, on the alleged ground
that changes had been made illegally, for
the purpose of declaring McEnery elected.
The niger vote enabled the Repub-
licans to win the decision in
their favor, but an anomalous thing hap
pened in the organization OF two boards,
the convening of two legislatures, the
declaration that each candidate was duly
elected, and the Inauguration OF both as
governor on January Ii, 1878. The re-
suit of congressional committees delib-
erations resulted in reporting bill mat
the battle be fought de novo, but this was
lost and the administration recognized hei-
logg as governor. Civil war was ohly
averted by the presence OF force OF
United States troops, after the McEnery
faction had appealed to arms, and after a
severe conflict with the police IN the streets
of New Orleans, had resulted in their viG-
toriousIy seizing the city and state pIl.d-
ings AID other property, conlpen,i'f $3.50 ns
logg to take refuge in the custom mouse.
kellogg represents all that is bad IN ms
party and has been openly accused OF con-
nection with the Louisiana Lottery com
paoy and of being its tool. Democrats are
delighted at his apparent victory IN the
sunnort of Reed, and as his record is an
abonination to the better elements OF his
marty. tbey feel sure of strong accesslons
from that class in the coming canvass.
The recent manufacturers convention
in Chicago, said r. B. Price, an Atlanta,
Ga. real estate man, who with his family
are enioying the delights of a winter in Las
Angeles, was nothing more than very
, skijfully engineered boom for Mckinley
and high tariff. II was the cornerstone of
the organization, and this was made very
apparent at Chicago. 1t it had been Re
nnhIican national convention it could not
! have tried harder to make Republican
capital for political ends. These were
nicely covered up by the apparently in
genuous scheme to secure representation
for American products at Montreal, Mex
leo and the Argentine republics coming
expositons. But the leading Democrats,
like Mayor Hanson and others, saw the
game and quit.
d. F. Garrity, well-known Butte county
mining man, says that the great tunnel IN
the Gold Bank mine, near Foroestown, has
reached the quartz lode, which proves to
be very much larger and richer then that
worked above. The tunnel is 100 feet IN
length, and strikes the lode at a depth OF
24OO feet belew the level of the surface
Mr.. Garrity, who is a Calaveras county
man and a firm believer in the untold
wealth in gold waiting the miner in his
native county, said that he believed that
the eight-foot ledge encountered in the
Lamphead mine is only a taste OF what is
to follow when the shaft now being sunk
gets little deeper.
