Tho address doos not contain o kind word for Presidont Grant aud his Admmistra- tion, There is n bodoful silenco about Shop- Lerd. Wo should like to have heard something about Shepherd. But, no. The Congressional leadors profor to goar away into abutractions.

They say, that tho porty has threa grout labors to perform before its torm of uscfulness can be stid to havo passed. Thoso Inbors are the enforcoment of the Fourteonth Amendment Ly anpropriate leg- iglation; the reformation of tho curren- cy, which is now in an anomalous condition; and the furnishing of cheap transportation betwoen the Wost and tho seaboard. With this statoment of some of tho things the party hns to do, the signors of the addross ure content, They eny nothing of the conelusions which thoy oxpect to roach, Thoy make no promises.

The contrnst has beon notably in favor of Tue TrinoNe. Wo feol justified in al- ludiug to this fact, since the superiority of Tug ToIBUNE a8 & nows-guthorer is n mattor of fro- .Quent sommont among nowspapers throughout the country. It waa 6 o'clock on Tuosday oven- Ing before tho fire was sufficiontly alarming to attract sorious attontion. Yot at tho uaual oarly bour the noxt moraing Tur TrimuNe issucd & paper of twelvo pages, which, bosidos covering all tho notablo news of tho world, gavo the fullest, most aceurate, and most graphic acaount of tho conflagration thnt was printed, and a out of the district which onablod itaroaders to trage out tho boundaries of the fira, 'The out wos not o good ono, bat it was much botter than those which the elowor nowspapers gob out the next day, ‘when{I'ue: ToinuNe alouo published a handsoma engraying, showing both tho “ Burnt District” of 1871 and that of 1874, and giving tho rolative sizo of each. Tuc Trinuse published Wodnes- doy gycomploto list of tho business houses burn- od out, which the othor newspapors copied on Thursday.

Wo do not cloim any partie- ular eredit for all these things, bocauso thoy aro nomore than our subscribers expect from us; but wo think it about time that other newapapers in the olty should quit prating about onterprise ond go to work to do Chiengo journalism oredit in great omorgoncies. There is one morning newspaper in particular in this city that has something to say about its entorprise ou all possible oceastons, This nowee Ppaper, on, this ocoasion, haa been o roproach to the city.

THE INDIANA DEMOORATS, Tho Indiana Domocratio Convontion met nt Indiannpolis on Wodnosday, ‘[ho two most striking fonturos of tho proceodings woru tha spooch of Gov. Hendricks and tho piatform of tho Convention. In gonoral, thess two docu- monts waro of the same tonor, excopt that the Governor omitied a diroot oxprossion of judg~ ment oun one point in the platform, nud the plat- form is inuocont of n fallasy In support of which QGov. Hondricks Inbored onrnestly, Thus tho platform doclares “that wo are {n favor of the redomption of the 5-20 bonds in groenbacks, according to the law under which thoy wora issucd;” and “in favor of tho roponl of tho Inw of March, 1869, which assumed to consiruo tho law 8o as to make snoh bonds pnyablo oxclusively in gold.” Mr. Ilondricks, in his #poech, thongh discussing tho questions of financo snd the ourrency, avoldoed all roferonco to tho redemption of tho bonds in groonbacks. Mo loft ths square indorsomont of repndistion to tho Conventicn, and restrictod himsolf to tho oxprossion of an opinion that tho present cur- rouoy it not irredeomable. On the othor hand, the Qonvontion declared in favor of o taviff for rovonuo, while Gov. Hondricks expressed the opinton that all our flnancinl troublos, and espo- cially tho doprociation of our currency, wore duo %o tho gcarcity of gold causod by the fact thnt tho balance of trado was always agninst us, to poy which *tho red blood flows from the voing ond arteries of tho country.” With all its reck- lossuess and stupidity, the Convention was not guilty of uttoring such propostorous nousonso o8 that, “This Convonition completes the record of the poople of Indiaua, 8o far as political conventions cnn do 50, upon the question of destroying tho national credit. That yecord is in painful con- trast with that of the States of Tows and of Illi- nois. In Iows, the Ropublican and Indepondent Conventions placed themsolves on record in favor of honost monoy, and declored that the obligations of the Governont, having beon sold in tho markets of the world, could only be paid in the world’s eurroncy. The Republican Con- voution of Illinois oxpressly ropudiated the in- flation scheme, nnd, slthough in somo respects cowardly and equivocal, was much moro ro- spactable than any faotion in Indiana. In both of those States the Senators hnd all boon a8 deeply committed to shinplnster infla- tion as tho Senntora from Indiaua, Stilt, the Re- publicans of Towa und Illinoie, when called upon to chooso between the policy of thelr Senators and national honesty and sound curroncy, choso tho latter. In Indiens, however, the Republicans in- dorsod Morton and his sbinplastor polley, and now the Domocratic party domagogues bave out- dono their Republican rivals by an open propo- sition to repudiate the 5-20 bonds. Tho Indiana Republicans proposed to debaso the owrroncy, and the Domocrats hava now proposed to puy off tha coin debt of the mation in tho ourrenoy debased Dby the Republicans. Wo do mnot bolieve that tho poople of Indiana havo the lenst sympathy with cithor of theso dishonost and villsinous schomes. Six yoars ago, the Domocrats of Iudiana rushed pell- mell into tho Pendletonisn sohemo to lesuo groonbacks by the ear-load, and take up all tho bonds with thom, snd the Republicans then, baving emall faith in publio honesty, adopted the snmo doclaration of policy. Now, in 1874, we have tho same discroditable performance ovor agnin, oxcopt that the propositions lave beon divided ; tho Republicans under Morton in- sisting on an unlimited issue of pupor and its conscquent doprecintion to the lowest point, while the Democrats propose to forco upon the publio creditors this doprocinted currency in satlsfaction of the bonds. ‘While the platforma of both parties on this quos- tion are unworthy tho respoct or support of any decont citizon, we regard that of the Democrats a4 the more flagrant of the two, The Domocratic party has beon long in the minority, both in the Stato and in thonation, It had tried overy devico, inoluding repudiation and greonbaok inflation, without success. Tho only policy open to it which had not boon tried was honesty, and that polioy it hnd not tho wit to adopt. Its Ntepubli- ean rival had vroposed to wator tho curroncy, and authorize a partial ropudiation of all tho private dobts of the couatry. Tho Domocracy now proposo to add to that tho repudiation of a part of the public debt, Thoy hed the oppor- tunity of roassorting the anciont and hone ored creod that the only moncy in which wages should bo pald was that which wns worth 200 cents on thoe dollar the world aver; that irrodeomable paper monoy was always subjoct to fluotuations, and henco could nover furnish an lonost messure of valuos; and that the credit of tho Govornment could nover be established on & firm basis until tts domnnd obligations wore puid. Such s plat- form, however familiar to tho Domocrats of past tlmes, would be new to most of the presont gon- oration ; it would yemind them of their Sunday- #ebool legsou that * honesty is tho beust polioy," nnd it would appoal to tho inheront integrity of every man in tho Binto. It would be conspleu- ous among the political Hteraturo of the day, aud wonld give assurance to the country that tho Domocratio party was truo to the faith of the futhers who had adorned und signalized ita his- tory. Duttho party in Indlane was unequal to tho occasion. It placed oven a lower cetimate upon popular intolligence and honesty than the Ropublicun Conveutlon, and now the two par- tiew onter tho onnvaes onch calling for popu- lar support, on the ground that it hay proposed n poliey mors flagitions than the othor. Tho review of the French avmy at Longchampn on Juno 98 ls described ns & very splondijl affair. Two hundrod thousaud peoplo eame to witness i, Tho troops woro massed in columns, oxtending from tho grand staud of the ruco- couryo to the Bols do Boulogue.

Novertholoss, tho fact that Mrs, Tilton hns given testimony couflicting with hor husband (it sho lns dono 80) woakens Mr. ‘Tllton's caso matorially, and atrongthons Mr, Boechor's in o corresponding dogres, Tho ntatomant mado by Tilton's friond, Moulton, is a ploco of unmiti- gatod blathor, and ought to be expunged from tho rocords of tho Committeo na importinent and nonsonsical. It consists of frivolous and point- loes hints at somo gront dumning fact with which Idoulton is charged to the bursting point, but which ho will not divalgo. Mave wo not had onough of this moral dvopsy already? Lot the grent goose lay its gooso ogg nt onco and dono with it! Moro clouds are gathoring about Til- tou’s head Just now than about Beeohor's, Thore i8 ovory reason to suppose that the Investigating Committeo is an honest and thorough one, It Mr. Tilton dooa not want to ft himsolf for the vordict passod upon him somo timo since by Dr, Leonard Bacon, he must come forward now nud opon his budgot, That mountain has boon in labor long enough. It its progony be anything but o ridicnlous mouse, let us seo what it is, and that spoodily. PROTECTION FOR THE CENTRE OF THE 0177, Tho suggestion in our articlo of yesterday, that the contral part of the city should bo protoctod from flro by open sprees ngainst the wooden- tonoment districts, was widely, andin most cascs favorably, discussed. Somo of our citizons ox- orelsed thoir minds by locating that space, do- fining its dimonsious, and specifying tho usos to which it should Lo put. It waa agreed on all hauds that it should bo used as a park for the poor. It wns also egreod that an opon spaco direotly north of Twelfth streot, and oxtooding weat to Iulsted streot, would Lo a perfect pro- tection from fires originating in the wooden tone- monts south of it. Thouco it was proposed to extond it north on Halsted, or & stract a block or two wout, to Chicago avenuo or some streot near it, and thenco eastward to the lake. Some of onr roal-estato men gave it us their opinion, without caleutating very closely, that the land could bo purchesed and the wholo thing com- pleted for $5,000,000 or $6,000,000. It cortainly could be dono now cheaper than at any futuro time. Tho nowly-burnt district has been Iaia bare, and could roadily be usod for thet purposo most of tho way betwoon the Inko and tha river, and the next fire mag afford an equally favorablo opportunity for an open, protecting space on the ‘Wast, and porhaps the second on the North Side, The main bueivesa of London fn transacted on sn orea not 8o Iargo as that wonld bo, inclosod by the smort of park wo have indi- cated. Onit our bauks, prineipal hotols, and Inrgest business houses of all kinds could bo located, They would be perfactly safo from the ravages of firo from without, and all new bufld- ings within the proposed limits could be con- struciod on nearly firo-proot prinoiplos. Let this subject and all otlier means of safety be thoroughly discussed, and what is chenpest and Lest be adopted. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, We do not join in tho gonoral nbuse of the of- flcors and mon of tho Firo Dopartmont. Wearoe willing to concede that they sll, rank and file, did their duty to the bost of their ability with tho means at thelr command. In tho district whora the firo originatod and got headway tho stroots were narrow, the fire-plugs fow in num- bor, and the underground water-pipes so small that two or threo engines at work at ono time could oxhaust the mupply, Theso wero dif- floulties which ombarrassod operations until tho five got such o start that only tho resistence of bricl walls could stay its progress. We-do not mean fo say that thero wore no miatakes, noignoranco, and no bluaders; but wo insist that our wholo Fire Dopnrtmont ia and must bo mefliciont 8o long as it remains or- gruized on tho prosent system. Nino-tenths of the men who are demanding Bouner's dismissal havo o caudidato ready for his place. Bonner nor ouy man living can make our Fire Dopart- ment whet it should bo until the systom itsolf 1a changed. In tho firat place, its organization ehould be talen out of tho hands of politics, nnd that can only bo done by taking it away from tho City Govornmont. It should bo an independont or- ganization, Ite ofticers and men should be placed above and boyond the control exorcised over all othor appointmonts, It should have an orgenization and w discipline as rigorous as that of tho srmy. "ho authority of the Chief should Dbo ubyoluto when tho Department is at work. ‘Cho diselpline showtd bo o onforced that no in- subordination or ineflicioncy would bo tolorated & moment, Tho privates of the forco should bo reoruitod and trained to their businoss; tho forco shoult bo enlarged, and tho machinery doubled, nnd the whole coutrol of the Dopart- mout given to a body of mon whose direct per- sonal intorests are depondent upon the snuc- cossful managemont of what is to Ohicago ity most important defenso, It hao boon proposed, in tho absence of any othor organizod body, that the reorgauization of tho Firo Department should bo committed to the control of the Board of Undorwritors. In many reepocts, tho Bourd of Underwriters wonld be tho appropriato organization to diroct thia arm of the publio defouso, It buna been also sug- gosted shat this Board should, outof tho pro- minms on {nsurance, maintain the Fira Depart- mont, Any unggestion like tho lattor isnat only absurd in itself, bus calenlnted to do permnnont Injury to publio aud privato credit. The people of Chicago must mako up their minds to thrae distinet propositions: Thut, we must hove o largor and more efiiciont Iiro Dopartment ; that this Department will cost a vory large sum an- nually; and that this sum munst e raised by tax- ation and paid oheorfully, Insurauco, as we kuow by & costly oxporlence, fs of littls avail whoro whole citlos are consumeod, The danger of suoh cnnflagrations makes insur- anco bighor hioro than In oy otlier city, so that, in foot, woaro paying in oxcessive Inswrance rates doublo the cost of maintalning & thorough Tito Dopurtmont, Now, lat us bave nuch & Do~ partmont, Lot It Lo organized, cost what it miay, even if ovory engine and foot of hoss we have bo dupliented two or thros timos.
