It 18 but fair, it ndds, that Chlcago should now provide every possiblo protection against fire, sud contributo to the support of those com- pavies .which redeemod their pledges in 1871, The removal of dangerous oleraents, tho subsii- tution of adequate for inadequats water-malns, the reo:ganization of tho Fire Department, and the erection of parapet walls to counteract tho offect of high winds, were only reesonable de- mauds, The action of tho companics was uot dictated by = desive to huxt the credit of Chlengo, ‘Tho intorests ot thouenvds swhose property 19 all luveoted in insuranes stocky demeaded thal tho companies should take gomo such step za thoy Liave takon.

That they shonld tako measures to inswe their wolvency, thorefore, was just and reasonablo. Chleago will be the party most benefited by their action, “Another conflagration like that of 1871 would rain Chicago. The world would justly hold us responsible for such another digns~ tor, Wo would not find a socond time tho sym- pathy oxtsudoed to us o 1871, Wo would nos degervs a rapetition of that sympathy, enpecially if wo taka 1o moersurea to praveut u repotition of tho calamity that elicted 1t It is onr Quty to sccopt the tefms of the ¢nmpaniea, fo remove the porils that surronnd us, to comply with tho rea soneblo roquiremeuts of oxports, and show the country that we have & due appracia- tion of safely, The whote country is {nterested that Chicsgo should do this, for the whole country s intorested in tha solv- enoy of the insurance companios.

LORD DUFFERIN O THE DOMINION. Lord Duferin, atter hia roturn from Chicago to Canoda, delivered a spoech on tho stato of tho Douunton and its attachment to tho British Eim- pire. He Lad but a short time before taken o trip into Wostern Canada, and of courao folt that ho was prepared to speak on tho subject. The speech itaelf Ia a vory admirable production both rhetorically and othormise. It is eloquent, able, and -abounds in genmine vivacity, wit, and humor. Nor s it by any, means devoid of statesmanship, Judglog from the ploture tha orator bas drawn of the loyslty and devotion of the peoplo of tha Dominlon, #ud oven of tho Cauadian Indians, to Queen Victoria, wo noed not entertain auy very sanguine hopss of an- noxation in the immodiate funuwe, Lord Duf- forin snys that whorover he went in Canads, whether into the crowded clty or to tho remote hamlot, tho people blazoned forth their affootion for thoir Quoon by avery devico which art could fashion or ingonuity invent. Qcoasionally, he says, an American would sug- gest to hlm'in a ployful munner that Canada should unite hex fortunes to thure of tho Re- publie. To which ho ropliod that Canadiaus wers essontinlly n democrasic peopls, and that thoy would never be satisfled un- losa the popular wiH could exercise an immediate azd complete control over tho Execu- tivo of tho country, refoiring to the tustom whieh roquires a Minlstry toresign when in op- position to a niajonty of tho voting population, &ad to tho fact that a Canadian Vicesoy might ba instaatly removed by the Imperial Government if it tarned ontthat e was not in hermony with the popular fooling of the ocountry. Evidontly tho Osnndian Vicoroy is the right man In tho right placo, Lord Dufferin speaks very kindly of the United Blates, and makes ample acknowledgment of tho attentions shown bim both in Detroic and in Chicago, which he says ** has rison more splens did thao over from hor ashes.” ‘Tlo London Spcelator thinks that England ought to send o Viceroy like Lord Duffetin to Ireland, Had he been thore, it seems to thiulk, duiog the Gladstone adwinistration, to kindlo tho Iriuh fmsgination into a truo concoption of the motives and alms of tho Minister and tho majority who brought nbout each groat roform, Qladstoue’s measures for the relief of Ireland would not have baen na barren as they are. VOX ARNIN AND BISMAROK.

Yoo Arnim was removed from ofice because of s correspondenco with Dr,Doallinger, in which ho exprossed hls dlvsntisfaction with the harsh mesasures of the Gorman Minfetry against the Oatholles, After his romoval ho re- tivod to his estate at Nosgenhoid, with tho 1n- tontion of proparing a statoment of his differences with the Goverowent, Blsmarck, it would seom, weaafraid of theaffeot which that statomont would bavo upou tho country it produced.

Tho early years of my lifo were spont In & sos- port-town in Maasachusetts, where all thohouaes init are built upon tho sand. Thoy: are built up- on tho sand chiefly for this ressoa, that thers s nothing elso to bwid them on. Pos- aibly the poople would prefor rock to sand, if thero were any trock within tholr reach; ns it is, thoy bulld literally on the sand and in thoe eand, with vary littlo ex- cavating, ond no dimension stone tindernoath. And I heve nover known a hougs, in consequence of boing thue built, to fall or como down on that secouut, though the town bas Loen thore somo 200 years, And, what s moro, the uneven set- tling of buildings in that loeality is almost un- konown. And theso Massachusetty towns that ulirt the Atlantio cosst, I need hardliy eny, are peculiarly oxposed to high winds and lrenching raing, and though tho winds blow and beat againat the housco of blosk Cape Cod, tbay fall Rot, but siand na fumly as any buildings X know of. + Do I then deny the truthfulness of the state- wment from which tho oxcollent leason af” the taxt imdrawvn? Do Imean to say that o hotige buils upon the vand i just assecuro as one bullt upon a rock? ‘That dopends upon circumigances, upon tho quality of tho sand, and the depth of it, and upon soveral othier conditions that noed not be nomod bere. To seo tho force olf many of the lustrations omploged In tho New- Tegta- ment, it is nocessary ofien to consider the peculiamties of the country in which {ho writers of the Now Teetament lived, Palestino in & poculiarly hilly, rocky couatry, And tho moil over the rocks i often shullow, Furious storms sro common, "The rainy sesson woukn tho soil, aud looueny itu bold upon the rocky bed. Furthermore, tho houses ure built of mud walls or unburnt bricks, aud sre mado peculiarly frail by moistura. If, now, to com- pleta tho picture, you iuclude tho fact that most of the villages of Palestino aro snd wors cou- etructed npon billeidos, you will see tho force of tho {llustretion, The houso built upon tho hill- sido whero the soil was shellow, and which the rain would lovten from tho rock bed, was wholly unsecure, especially in_viow of the por- iskable matorinls of which’ the houses wore con- structed “The point of tho illustration is clear and forci- Dble: meko the building sccure, What is neces- unl? to do that, depends unon the quality of tho soll aud other focal considorations. Tho ono ex- sontial thing is to malto tho building securo, a0 that it will neither fali @own mor settle, nor bucl:]lo, bug stand whero it is put fairly and ge- curely, Now ail this, friends, I barely nood romind you, is not o talk abont buildings, but reslly 2bout men &ud womon ; about institutions, com- munities, and, above all, personal charactor, For our blessed Lord, In His intorview with His chosen followers, as they sat thore upon the Mount of Bentitudes, was not tecching thom low to conetruct the buildings in that country, but how to cousiract durablo charxcter, and what bocomes of all offort to buud upon all nueafe and inadequate foundation. 'J.‘Ea teaching of the toxt ja s applicablo to Illi- nois a5 it was to Paleatine, and to Chicago as it was to Jerusalem or Cesaes. In thoG,000 years whick our race has existed, somo thinga are well learned, Wo do not need another illuntration to show tho effects of o sin- ful life and tho mizoblef which, cooner or latez, followa every form of vice. Virtue and intalll~ gence sro cesential to the continued prosponty of the people, aud ihero is no dureblo suceess withous them. Ho who builas upon any other fouudation builds fusecarely. Lo sot adide tho wisdom of tho world and to defy tho wany les- sons of liumnn oxperionco i4 o build upon tho sand, from which the end is sure to cume. - But thin I8 precisely what multitudes of pso- plo ure continually atriving to go, to bulld up themaelves and their personal interests iu disro- gord of thess mpxime, ay if thoy could avade tho verdict of Listory, and dofy tho iutelligence and morality of mankind, In spplying tho los- s0p8 of our subject, wo mar 2a well begin at home. 1n mavy seipocts, Chicngo is bitlt upon o firm foundation.

But these are not waat the averago citlzen refers to as ovidencs of our city's groatnear, Ho will toll you of our wonderfui growth ; will compare tho city to-day with whet it was only thircy yoara ago; will pofnt you to our geograpbical position, to tho 2ailroeds Wwhich contre hero, our commorca on theso inlaud scos, the volwue of business transuoted hovo, etc., etc..—oll of which to o cortain oxtent, it 18 highly proper should bo mentioned in eny stslomont of what Chicago is, or oxpects to be, But thoe rec- ord should not end hore. Thevo is xnothor side to 2 portion of this picturo, and that sida is not espacially Ustrering to our pride, No small por- tion of what we havo built st bo rebuilt, Our chiet danger, eo fer &8 materisl property i8 con- corned, lies in tho wooden etructures whioh, by the rapidity, cheapuoss, sud extent of thelr con- struction, bave afforded temporery homes for the musses who havo como hore. Su far, wo bavo built qun tbo saud j 80 far, wo must tear down and rebulld better, But thia only by tho way, What I wish eapeoi- nlly to emphasizo Is, the feeling which mauy of our people seem to have that Chicago t sotne- boyw an excoptional clty, and con do juat rbout s i{ Ukos.
