Necessity for Immediate Proteotion Against Fire, Imperative Duty of Citizens to Attond Primary Elections, of the Water-Supply at Increase ¥ Private Expense. Accomplishment of Reform by Indi- vidual Effort. Tho following address has boon fssmed by the Executivo Committeo of tho Oitizens' Associa- tion: To the Business-Aen and Property-Orenera of Chicano : Undorstanding o part of our duty to consist in calling the ‘attontion of tho commnnity from time to time, 03 oceasion may roquire, to mate ters winch demand tho action of citizens, nnd foeling that the presout smorgeney, growing ont of our imporfoct protoction againat firo, calls for tho most eucrgetio und untiring effort on the part of overy individualidentified with Chieago's intereats, wo desiro to piaco bofors you some fucts boaring on tho subject, and to polnt out what wo concolvo to bs somo of our dutics as citizons, in tho hope of inducing a speedy ndop- tion of all possible safoguards. It Is woll knowa that a number of lughly rospectuble aud influon- tin goatlomon composing THE ' NATIONAL NOAND OF UNDERWRITEDS," havo rocommended the withdrawal from this city of all the insuranco companios under their con- trol, To whatover degreo their procipitato ac- tion may boopen to ecriticism, and howavor in- digusutly our pride may rovolt at thoir seoming dictation, tho alarmipg fact remaina that these gentiemon docline to longer transact business in thia city. o charactorizo it as an alarming fact, becauso thoy roprosont by far tho largest and moet relinble insurance interosts of this country, togother with all the. foroign capital dding business hore, and our commeroisl organi- zation is of such a nature that no largo city can conduct its business withont insurance, Itis tho foundation stono upon which our commor- cial suporstructuro stands. Tako it away, and iho wholo system crumbles to the ground a disor- ganizodmags. Tho question as to whothor & Bys- tom thus organizod is tho best that can bo adopted forpromoting tho commorcial prospority of the ago wo cannot diseusa, Bo it 8o or not, tho fact that Ohicago, of all citios, can least afford now to inaugurato a new sgstom must bo apparont to all. From the sad oxperiences of the last threo youra this community is painfutly awara of tho alarming possibilities of conflagration. The offccts of tho ravages commilted by the groat firo of 1871, motwithstanding our wonderful recuperation, aro still apparont in various directions, and will be for yoars to come. The firo of last July caused us tho peculiar damago of absolutely unsottling confidence in our secur- ity as a city in tho minds of the poople at a dig- tanco ; although we of Clicago breathed more frooly after it, knowingit o bave awept away tho danger that most threatoned ua. Confidonce not only in its integrity, but also in its ability to protect property, is casential to the commercinl existonce oxr any community, Tho ouly way in which this confidenco can borestored to us is by taking prompt mensures to recall the pro- tection these msurance men have withdrawn from us. It moy not be superfluous to point out in do- tail somo of the injurios that will rosult to this city, sbould tho sction of the Undorwritors be poraisted in for any length of time. THE CREDIT OF OUR MERCHANTS will bo Impairod, and the largo stooks of gooda that now atiract tho trade of tho West will shrink to meagro proportions. Already the or- der to * reduco stock ™ Lins beon given ia gome of our largo houses. Manufaclurers and im- porters are unwillivg to intrust their merchan- diso $o & commuuity unable to procure indem- nity against logs by fire. Tho immcuge grain trade that now cntors here will seek other mark- ate, and_ouc clevators will aiand empty. Our wveusly will seok othor ports, or lie idle at our ook, Tattirt Witk ok wours hera o enstua 1 busiuess entorpriso with such risks and aisnd- vantages to enoounter, THUE FLOW OF CAPITAL into our city for loans and mvestment will bo chocked, for capitalist will not invest whore in- surance protection ik wot afforded to property. In tact, tho genernl growth and prospority of our city will Yo juterruptod, and a ehadow will rest upon us. In viow of these considerations, wo foel that evory good citizon should bo aroused to & full realization of the magnitude of tho omergoucy and throwall bis ouergy and influonco into & united offort to \rnnf‘ off {his most damaging blow, We should not linger oven to discuss tho mattor, but hasten to consummate the reforms alrondy inaugurated and in viow when tho action of the * Nationul Board " was takon, Wo should justruct our roprosontatives in tho Common Councit to vote for protcction, nod our oflicial boards to removo overy obstaclo that stands fu tho way of absolnto roform, in torma that they shall realize will tolorate no further delay, Homo of thom, no doubt, aro desorying of gravo consure for not heretofors providing bottor means for our protection, but wo sbould somomber that * low taxes " 18 the ory that bns boon oftouest sung in their oars, Lot us ne- instruct them to tux us as lightly s8 possivly consiatont with complete protection, bhut GIVE 'US PROTHOTION AT WHATEVER COST.

L'o the bruty form of life thore aro no mystories ; thero is no unknown land,—no cnigma of Naturo * to the burd of' song or to the lion of tho desort,— shey have no mental heights to chmb, and houco thoir roalm in given thom fres from inquiry,—~a clased-up matter in which what mantal facultios they pousous uro tho samo at lifo's end 28 thoy wero in its bng‘uming; und all tho successivo atorations of thin bruto-lifo pass along and away in only one condition of mental powor or wonkness. Dnt man is cast dowu n aliomo whare the hovizon rotreata as ha moves taward it, ond whoro the mental study and oducation of ono century tako notlung away from the labors to bo pertoriaad by tho subsequont intollects born into ife. As the widow's cruse of oil never gavo ont, butviolded its Crosh supply to cach hungry one in the long famino, 80 tho univorso nover gives out, snd says to mankind, *You have omptiod wa ;" but in all the long nistory of man it comes bacl in it dny with frosh mystory, and li braina aro cultured and fed from 1ts grost cup. Among’ the questions tha: have thus far es- eapod solution, no one hns bafllod so wany, and 0 long, and x0 perfootly. o8 thoinquiry how tho world eawe into oxinlonce. When ibo Biblo says, *In tho boztnning God croatod tho beav- ons aud the earth,” it speaks only a most useful and fundamental leeson in religion, ond makes 1o offort to meot the want of that soul which socks tho simple solution of & mystory. Tho Biblo does uot pretend to be a full koy to the wroot unknown, but 1o bo a guido of lifo to hearts that are coutont to begin with certain assumptions, and to live in n kind of sweot Lomiity. Aswe who are hero lo-day tnke up lifo ;in “the ninetecnth century, and daro not think of asking tho privilego of starting where Pulestine and Groece started, or tho human race started, that we way gce it all, and know it all 80 monkind, findiug thomsclves upon ocarth, cannot goback and try to start forth in crone tion’s morning, but_must procood forward from a middle point, and not hopo to road fully the gront formar chaplors of God's book. Maun is not born into tho wholo univorse, but npon only a vory smullistend in it; nud ho ia not born " into its oternity past, but only into some wmomeut far away from tho ‘‘begiuning™ of things; and honco his accumulstion of facts will consist of only u fow loavos gathered up nbout Lis feat. Thua situated, with an uu- fathomable dopth around him, tho Bible eimply gives him the best possible assumption upon which hio can fonnd lite ; it makes no effort to freo him as o metaphysiclan or thinker from the prossur of enigimnns, Wiien wo ara informed that, in the beginning, God croatod tho hieasany and the oarth, the ques. tion is not reached which now onf:ngcn tho study and publio spesch of the Tyndalls, for the m quiry thoy raise la only ta bo snswersd by learns ing Who or what in the boginning made the cres ative God, To find who mado man i only a seas ondary thought, the prininry thought being whn{ {4 tho origin of conscious Hfe?—au inguiry nof to bo debated about the nawma of man, for le is & second aot in tho dramn, but to be dubated about tho namo of God, &a boing the firsl expression v* what i ealled lifo, "ncro soom to ba fn Naturo two qualitioa.
