Atleast half the members must vote on a law in order to bave it passed. The greatright of granting or rejecting supplies belongs to the Reichstag. Bemdes Emperor, Conncil, and Parliament, there is one other great power, with ill-defined limits but enormous prerogatives. It is the +Office of the Imperial Chaucellor.” This ““Of- fice ™ controla tho internal administration of the Enmpire; prepares subjects to be 1aid before the Federal Council; decides questions of commer- cial policy; mansges the posts and telegraphs of 1l the States except Bavaria and Wartembarg ; takes cars of the debt, the customs, and the finances in general; and administers the Govarn- ment of Alsace-Lorraine. The centralizaticn of political power in Ger- many has freed Germans from many petty op- pressions, and given them many new rights. Theso rights are not alwsys strictly regarded, gven by the present Government, but it is safe to say that none of them is infringed without persistent opposition from ti. Fortachritt-Partei, and without making the privilege more precious 4n the eyes of the people. Tho most important rights guaranteed to the individual by the new Copstitution are fresdom of migration (not emi- gration) and settlement ; the right of petition- ing, or forming associations, trade-unions, eto. ; fresdom of the presa; and equality of all re- ligious sects. “The form of the Constitution,” says Mr, Ricolson, “is peculiar,—an Emperor who com- bines some of tho attributes of an absolute with those of a constitutional sovereign, ruling over States more or less independent, and who is hemmed in and rendersd powerless it many re- spects, while in others he has unlimited scope; one responsible Minister, the Chancellor, whose responsibility is pot very clearly defined; & Council of representatives from the several Btates, with the functions of an administrative and legislative body, responsible to no one, act- ing upon instractions from their Goverrments without roference to the representative sssem- blies of the different countries; a Parlisment elected on as broad a basis as possible, and yet not exercising to the full the functions which ordinarily belong to ‘s gress representative body.” At present, Bismarck scems to support most of the burden of this unwieldly Government. ‘Whez hs dies, will another Atlas be found? g i One encouraging featurs of the late election in Connecticut was the evidencs it gave of Gen. Hawwry's strong hold on the popular heart. To be beaten as he was beaten can scarcely be es- teemed a personal misfortune. His gain over the Republican Stats ticket in the First District was1,932. On the other hard, Banwuw, the Democratic absentee and incompetent in the Fourth District, ran 1,500 behind his ticket. These figures ehow that independence within party lines, and devotior to principles as above party, is not » mistaken policy for & politician to pursue. The people can appreciste, and will, in the long run, reward such conduct. Gen. HawLEY's defeat wes not beceuse of his inde- pendence, but in spite of it.

An economical fact of some importance is Dustrated by the supposed conversstion just Bow being reported by the newspapers, between a Northern tourist and s native, in Florida: “What do you live off here in summer?” “Fish]" *Well what in the winter?” *Yan- kees.” At the Northern pleasure and health- resorta the process is reversed. The pativea live off small deer in winter and consume the substance of tourists in'summer. In no other way is wealth more widely and inefficiently re- distributed than by these same gadsbouts. The money which goes to Earope snd is intelligently spent thers is by no means the poorest invest- ment made by American travelers, either for thamsalves or for the country. Quits opportunely & Philadelphis paper recol- locta that Gen. Hawrxx's defcat is a national ‘blessing, bacause he can now devote his entire energies to the discharge of his duties as Presi- dant of the Centennial Commission. If he can’t be Congressman, perhaps the next best thing is to bave him actively concerned in the manage- ment of the Centennial. The membera of that Board ought to put in full time; and the fact that Gen. HAwLYT is now in & situation to do so is certainly cause for publie congratulation. He will prevent leakings and steslings if any- body can. Oool discussions of Fast-Day a8 a publie insti. fation appearin all the New England papers.

The General Prospect and Out- look for 1875, The Indications end Predictions of a Prosperous Year Already Verified. The Hotel Business as Viewed from the Grand Pacific and Elsewhere. A New Departure at Keith Brothers, Tho present prospects of business for the year are natural subjecta of interest and of so- licitudo among all classes, and thsugh opinion snd expectation aro in the main rosy with hops, there is some diversity in views and conjectures. Fortunately, howover, thers are some general conditions having direct and important bearings upon the matter which are not subjectto opinion or argument. First, the crop prospects for the season, according to the fogic of agriculturists, were never better, the frait crop having eacaped injury so far, with grest promise for the other cropa. Becond, the country is represented ss unusually bare of goods, merchants everywhere baving made but emall purchases during the past year and a half. Vast supplies are accord- ingly necessary {o meet the demands of local markets thronghont the country. Third, it is admitted (hat a large proportion of last year's crop is yat to ba marketed, snd the eur- plus of Isst year must come forward during the present scason. Fourth, prices on the whole are near the ante-bellum standard, and may therefore bo held to be non-spoculative, and such aa the natural laws of trade wonld make them. . Fifth, monoy is supersbundact st lowest rates of interest, and must remain so for some time to coms, setting aside the danger arising from & common endency to speculative enterprises. Theso appear to be elemental con- - ditions of & fundsmental character, insoring A GRADUAL BESTORATION OF BUSINESS ACTIVITY to a normal standard,—s restoration that seems both probable aud certain, excepting in the very improbable contingency of & wide failure of crops. Conversations with the leading dry-goods firms, TField, Leiter & Co., Richards, Bhaw, Fitch & Winslow, and others, indicate earnest prepara- ticns for a year of unprecedented activity, while tho experience of tho past two weeks has been the nctual innugnntion of the busiest season of some years. It is so in hardware, clothing, boots aud shoes, and in every department of commerce. Even the real estate interest, after a cold and eluggish sleep of & year, has felt the entrance of spring Eap into its circalation, and partakes of the waking energies of commerce. Ira Brovn reports the demand for sub- urban property’ and homestead sites in all his outside districts, Park Ridge, Evanston, Glencoe, Thornton, Desplaines, and Hyde Park, as indieating a sort of prospectiva rush not only for cheap homes, but for businsas engagements of this character. it " HOTELS. THE PACIFIC. The great hotels, too, the Grand Pacific, the Palmer Houss, and the Sherman, Tremont, and othors, begin to indicate the presence of a vast transient population. And perhaps there is no class of business-men whose position and experi- ence gives them grester advantages of direct and personalinformation for viewing the situation at large, and- estimating the probabilities of commerce, than those whose place during a long period of years has been at the head of the ho- tel interests of the city. To ascertain the views of a prominent landlord in regard to the indica~ tions, a representative of Tax TRIBUNE, & dsy or two ago, waited on Mr. Jobn B. Drake,- of the Grand Pacific Hotel,—whose, acquaintance with trial," tried to pick his pocket, and HorraYhad | the grest outside community of merchants, him promptly handed over $o the police. Thae boy was 7 years old. Col. Jomy M.

Beporter—Mr. Drake, what are your impres- eions in regard to the prospects of the hotel business in Chicago for the present and coming Beason? Nr. Drake—Conversations with guests from a1l sections of the country, and, I should say, particalarly from all points throughout the Northwest, would seem to exhibit the most fa- vorable general conditions. Intelligent visitors from the agricultursl and commercial dis- tricts of the several States and Territo- ries north aod west of us, gentlemen who aro " practically posted on the situation and acquaint- ed with the relations of agricnlturs to commerce, are almost unanimons in the oxpression of the ‘most favorable conditions, the promise of crops lng harvests, the necessity of large supplies, an THE MORAL POWEE OF AN DIMENSE FEELING OF CONFIDENCE AND ENCOURAGEMEST, all looking to a wide snd general revival of all depurtments of trade. As amatter of course, when the local conditions are o universally fa- vorable, the logical inference is that the com- merce of the city must soon feel” the effects of the promised revival and the general res- toraion of trade to & condition of grest prosperity, will maturally find its first expression in the increase of our tran- sient population of outside merchants and tradesmen. The busivess of the hotels is some- times the true pulse that indicates the condition of trade. R.—Do you then anticipate an unusually large transient population the prasont season? Mr. Drake—Everything st present justifies such an anticipation. R.—Cbicago has become a considerably larger city now than when yon entered upon your carecr in connection withthe old Tremont Housa in 1855, The city was then famons forita population of travelers and temporary sojowrners. Has the :;m;zam population kept up ita former propor- ion Mr, Drake—I think it has. The city had at that time but three or four hotels, with first-class accommodations for about 1,000 gnests. Now it has first-class. accommodations for more than 10,000. The hotel system is even more a feature or a characteristio of life and commerce in Ghi- cggo to-day than when the population numbefed ‘but 65,000. R.—After the destraction of the Tremont in ‘the fire of 1871, you purchased the Michigan Av- enue Hotel, did you not, changing its nams to the Trsmont House? Mr. Drake—VYes, sir. . B.—What was the occasion of your sale at the bonsn; and retirement from business in June, 187 Mr. Drake—Well, I had had thirty years’ un- interrapted work iu that line, and wanted a little Test. That was all. = The conversation terminated afler a few farther interrogations of a less general charac- ter, and the reporter was permitted to take some notes of the DMPEOVEMENTS IN THE RE-DECORATION, FURNI- AND EQUIPMENT of the hotel which have been made since the entrance of Mr. Drake upon the proprietorship. Ever since tho completion of the lofty snd noble edifice, and the opening of jits hospitable doora to Chicago, and the country, and the wide, wide worid as perhaps the grand- est palace of public entertainment that modern times and recent ages had seen, the Grand Pa- cific Hotel would sppear to have been an object of something like public pride, a8 constituting a feature and an orsament of thacity. Its history has been waiched with interest, and made a mat- ser of prominent publio record. The cost and magnitude of the strocture, its expensive and elaborate equipment, the large, and generoms. snd stately charactor of its internal plan of sccommodation, its gener=t adaptation to rank nnder 2 wise aud prosperous manage- meant 28 the leading first-class hotel of Chicago and of tho West, awakened a singularly unaui- mous expectation of a permsnent Iar success. The prosperity of no other similar enterprise ever insugurated in Chicago hasat any time awskened a more USIVERSAL FEELING OF LNTERRST AXD SOLICITUDE. And despite the fact that pauice and ;two contin. uwous years of depression in money and commeroe resulted in the diszppointment of the first mausgement of tho hotel, the comman feeling of publio interest in the destinies of the Grand Pacific bas continued to flnd expreasicn in the prozs of the Northwest, and in perpetual inquiry in regard fo its mew history. The insuguration of thia socoad or new at eatablishment under the rake, one of the ablest, most eatasmed *and the Northwest, is the new and important en- alt hands, and especially by THE OLD RESIDENT BUSINESS PUBLIC of Chicago, 25 ominous of the prosperity to which the fame of the new management and the magnificent plan of the Grand Pacific Hotel en- fitlad it, and it will, 1 all probability, simply meet the expectations of the community to stato that the three augural molnlhu ?.llu u:«; new management, tho three worst mon! of any Year, “have " foen - saffiient to confirm the prediction of & permanent recogaition of the hotel as the centre of the hotel inter- est of the city. While considerable expenditures bave been made mn chauging and improving the plan and style of farniture and decorations in many sections of the hotel, the presence of a Iarger population of guests, a new aspecs of life and motion, and the evidencs of the splendid morale, eystem, and discipline, incident to new management, are matters of instant recoguition. . Tho character of the architect accommoda- tions of the hotel is known to the world. The building, which is seven full stories in height, aggregates nearly 800 feet of frontage, affording probably a larger number of SPACIOUS FEONT BOOMS than any other establishment of the kind in the world, the great number of suites of two, thres, four, and five rooms, the Jarge number of pri- vate baths, endless halls and promenades, etc., adapting it sdmirably to the . sccommodation of families snd residentguests. Thestyle and char- acter of the equipment and outfit in furnitare, fixtures, and_general appointments are costly, elaborate, and thorough, including 150 priva baths, water-closets, etc., in addition to & sys- tem of TURKISH, ELECTBIC, AND VAPOR BATHS, under the proprietorship of s well-known and accomplished physician, Dr. G. C. Somers, said to be unequaled by aoy similar bath-inatituto in the United States. g The gentlemen whom Mr. Drake has associa- ted witi him in the conduct of the Grand Pacific, Mr. Gaskell and Mr. Tarner, sre recognized by this community snd by botel men thronghout tho country ss adding materially to the popu- larity and strength of the maoagement. 3Mr. T. B. Gaskoll has had supervision of the internal economies of the hotel sinca its first opening, while Mr. Turner, by his euccessful management of the Palmer House up to the change in the Pacific, has simply confirmed 3 reputation for tact, discernment, snd address in the hotel business poseessed by few of his contemporarios. ki i MILLINERY AND FURNISHING. THE NEW DEPARTA[ENTS AT KEITH BROTHERS', Among recent items of intelligence of a strict- 1y commercisl character, and' a matter tho an- nouncement of which in the advertising columos of Tag TamoNe has no doubt been read with in- terest by the mercantile communities of Chicago terprise lately inaugurated by Messrs. Keith Brothers, in the accession of spacious new quar- ters to their business premises, and the ad- dition of a new department ' or a pew line of commerce,—that of ladies’ wholesale furnishing goods snd gentlemen's wholesale furnishing goods,—to theirold trade in millinery and straw goods, hats, caps, and fur goods. The history of the house of Koith ' Brothersis practically oguivalent to the history of the millinery trade of Chicago, the progres- sive and unintermittea development of this spacial mercantile interest undor the continnous management of the firm from tha date of organ- ization inthe early daysof commerce to the present time,—a practical and appropriate illustration of the natural expansion of the goneral commerce of the city. This factof a gort of constructive identity of the house with a common mercantile interest, and the large and public relations maintained by them with all sec- tione throughont theso Northern and Western Iatitades, daring a considerable historic period, naturally invest the entrance of the firm upon 8 new territory and o new though co-ordinate en- terprise with a_common ond genersl interest. It was sccordingly not less with & view to facts bearing npou the public HISTORY OF A SPECIAL DEPABTMENT of the commerco of the city, than forthe pur- poge of ascertaining pmicniym in regard to the 2ddition of & new feature and s new line of mer- chandise to the old historic trade of an individu- al firm, 2s well as to obtain general points of in- terest illustrating the graduzl development of a leading featore of the business of "Chicago, that a representative of Tas TRIBUNE yesterday vis- ited tne establishment of Measrs. Keith Broth- ers, 546, 218, 350, and 252 East Mladjson street, tho visit resulting in 8 very pleasant excursion through the vatious divisions and departments, ovor the five broad floors ef the establishment. ‘The several ficors of the building ex- hibit the several departmonts of business, the first floor being devoted in part to the exposition of the regular jobbers’ stock of hats and caps in fall lines, and in part to the accom- modation of silks and ribbous. The second floor presents s brilliant snd attractive scene of something lilte spectacular interest in the vast exhibition of all tho conntless forms, styles, and varieties of French snd American fowers,—vol~ et, jot. muslin, and crepe,—roses, buds, wheats, and “grasses, bridal wreaths, festhers and plumes, eto., the delicate and beautifal goods that give to millinery its artistio and postic aspect. A division of space on this floor ia also assigned to " THE NEW DEPARTTNT of ladies’ furnishing goods, comprising hosier~ ies for ladies and chiléren in great variety; gloves in largo assortment and generally im- ported,—Alexandre kids, Louvre kids, Berlin Lisle threads, sitk, otc. ; a full line of jet jow- elry, parasols, embroideries, haodkerchiefs, laces; children's and infants’ robes; collar aod crotchet edgiogs; collars and caffs; imitation hair goods ; a full line of white gcods, incloding jaconets, Bwiss, mal, Nansooks, and piques, etc, otc. The third floor gives accommo- modation to two departments,—ladies’ hats, bopnets, and straw goods on one gide, and to the now dopartment of fi%nw wholesale furnishing goods on the other. e fourth and fifth floors are dovoted to hats, caps, sud furs, manufscturing, storage, packing, shipping, etc. A busy population of clerks oc- cupy the soversl floors and departmerits, the in- troduction of a new featuro into the business of the establishment having recently necessi- tated a cousiderable enlargement of the clerical force. The gcono in all sectiona of the house is at the present time one of great and unusuals| activity. TIE TRADE CONNECTIONS of the firm are known to extend to very di rogions and over a very wide field, inclnding, perbzps, the ontire range of terntory that yet been made tributary to _the commerce of Chicago, but the success and cbaracter of the operations of the houss, sud the magnificent fo- cilities possessed by them for dxtending to their vast patronage tho bomefits of s pormanent principle of economy, is perhaps best illustrated 1 the fact that for years past the firm have meintained an unmolested trafio with remote points in Indizos and Ohio, and on disputed sand forbidden flelds in tho immediate vicinity of St. Louis and other rival cities. —_— Sad Accident in Paris. The Paris correspondent of the London Daily News writes March 13: * A shocking accident occurred on Wednesday evering, which' has thrown the Rothschild and other great Jewish families into mourning. Mme. Anspach, with her son and dsughter, Mlle. Helons Anspach—a young lady of considerable beauty, well known in tho fashionable world of Paris—wore roturning home toward midnight from the Theatre Krancas. Crossing the boaleverd opposite the New Opers, Mile. Anspach was run over by au_omnibus, two of the wheels pussing ovar her body. When picked up she was insensiblo, butas conaciousaess re- taned, she eaid ahe felt no pain, and was borne without apparent suffering o & cab. 1n the ve- hicle she placed her head on her mothar’s shonl- der and took hold of her hand, which sho pressod against her chest,—Mme. Anspach giving utterance allthe while toexpressions of thankfcl- ness for what seemed to her the miracalous pre- servation of her child's life. But on reaching the house sho found that she had only & corpso in herarms. A heartrending meoting took placo when tho body of the young girl was carriedinto the drawing-room, between 3me.

Report of the Executive Committee of the Reform Club. Formsation of Auxiliary Oi;ga.niza.tions ~--Policy of the Society. Its Proposed Expansion. A meeting of the Chicazo Reform Claub was held Iast night at the Washingtonian Home, with Premdent Rankin in the chair, The following report from the Executive Committes was read by Mr. Howard Tilden and adopted : Your Executive Committee submits berewith its re-. port for the quarter ending April 1. Your Committee immediately sfier its organization proceoded to carmy ot the plan, of work adopted by the clubat the meeting held on the 19th day of Decem- ber last, and has since then to the bestof its ability continued to perform the duties devolving upon it. ‘The success which it has met with has been consider- able and gives promise of results in the futuro of a gratifying nature, Theplan referred to contemplated the organization of suxiliary olubs, open and attractive in their proceedings, and fres of expense to their membera i the canvassing of the city for individuals whose habits of life ronder it necesaary that they should me temperance men of alding and assisting such individuals in thelr efforts to reform; the es- tablishment of clut-roomsin which refresimenta conld e furnished at moderate prices, and opportunities for veading and writing, and for billiards and other sgames could be afforded, and ‘the change of the pay- day of employes from faturday night to Alondsy or Tueadsy morning. Thus far the plan adopted has only been PARTIALLY EXECUTED, The time that has elapsed since your Committes was organized has been brief, snd the means at its dispo- sal limited. Hence your Committee has been unsbls to do averything it desired to do, and has confined its efforts to those branches of the. ;&an which could, with a8 small an amount of expense ss possible, bo effect- slly accomplished. Iis effarts have been confiued ex- clusively fo the organization of anxiliary clubs. It has not attempted the establishment of club-rooms, for tho reason that suficlent moneya to open them Have Tover been at its dizposal, and no eKortE: ‘been made tosecure achange in the pay-day of employes, be- cause the Chicago Temparance Allianca took npon itself that duty, and your Committes felt that that Society, by its influence and standicg, would ba sble todoa great deal towards securing the end sought, and should not in any way be interfered with. Tho wark of establishing AUXILIARY CLUBS, ‘however, was entered upon immediately after the or- tion of your Comumittee, and his been prose- cutod with as muclggnergy as it conld command. Before detailing te work done it will be proper to advert to n few of the principles adopied by the Club, and at all times asserted by this Committee, and to lu!:'l; what benedt has been derived from their enun- on. ‘FThe doctrine that the marufacturs and sale of in- toxicating drinks ought to be pravented by leglslation Das never been advanced by the Olub, On the con- trary, ot the very ontset all sitempts to secure such Iegislation wero dist . The snccess met with by the Commlttee in organizing suxiliary clubs may be sacribed in o very large measuro to this disclaimer. Advocates of such legislation sre not, as a_rule, effect- ive worl the temperance ranks, Witha few ex- ceptions, they are satisfiod if they can maks the sale or use of liquor unlawful, and whenever this end is at- tained they feel that their dutics are parformed, and that all efforts to ralse ap tho drunkard will bo use- less, The assistanco of such men in a work like that undertaken by the Club ‘must be regarded as having little value, and 80 far as your Committes has been able to observe has been burtful. There are individuals, however, whosa capacity for work and whose desire to do good cannot ‘be too highly commended, Who look npon prohibitory legislation as an interference, alike unwarranted and unjust,with their tastes and babits. They have, in the past, Leld aloof from temperance socicdes for the reason that they suppose that, by joining them, they ‘would assent to'a doctrine which they felt to bo nnsound, but have in times past, in aquiet way, extended to fallen humanity all thoass:stance in their power. The importance of _eecuring the activayco-operation of these individuals hagat all times been obvious, and it is lighly gratifying to your Committee to state that auch co-operntioa liss in a very large number of in- stances been obtained” This resulswas dus, more than o any other causs, to the fact that this Club has taken festand asan o OPPONENT OF PROHIBITION. Had tho Club taken difforent gronnd, or had it even Temalned silont, 3 large number of ifs most eflicient workers would mever hava rendered auy assistance whatever. Your Commiitoo choerfully scknowledges that » large shara of whatover credit may be dne for the reaalts thus for reached must be ascribed to the work of the individuals reforred o, It is the desireof the Committee to obtain the assistance of a3 largaa number of such men oa possible, and, if the ground al- ready taken is maintained, succoes in that direction is already assured. ‘The determination to sbstain from all attempts to revive the crussding movement has also boen of great assistance to the Commities, and has oparated s an inducement to many Iadies o lend a helping hand to~ ‘the Club. Ths labor performed and the rewuits ac- complished by them cannat bo too highly p SEORET SOCIETIES have many objectionsble features, and it was on ac- count of {hese that the Club determined to Lold open mestings, to do_away with pass-words, grips, and signals, and to make their organization free and invit- ing to all. The wisdom of thia cetermination haa at all times been apparent to your Committee, and tha ef- fect of it has been to induce many persons Wwho ob- jected to secret orzanizations 1o becams active work- ‘ers in tho runks of the Reform Club, 1ilss also op- erated o bribz into the Cinb many individunls who, iguotant of the method fa which ihe proceedings of the Good Templara and the Sons of Temperence wore conducted, and fesring that those were in some way objectionable, bave heretofore refused to sign 8 pladge or abstain from the nse of liquor, or to Join any temperance organization, The fact that the Club-meetings havo always been public, and that all comers wero given a hearty welcome, has done a great deal Acquainting the class of men it is desira- Dl {o reach with the objects and purposes of tho Club, | Your Committce bas refrained, a3 also huvo the auxliary Clubs thus far organized, from interfering with quastions of POLITICS OR RCLIGION, Such s course was_not only proper, but it was abso- lutely necessary. No difficalty has, Liowever, been ex- perienced from the introduction of political diecus- idons, and no difficulty from that source need be ap- prehended until such timeas the strengthof the Clubs shall become mare generally known. _But oa tha number of Clabs shall incroase and their voting power shall become greater, a considerable degree of care will Dave to be exercised In order to prevent designing mon from prostituting tho organization from iis present objecis to their thirst for oftice. Your Committes has carcfully abstained. Hkewiss, from indulging in religious discussions, _The injury 1o the cause of tomperanco crested hy such dis- cusaions in so great that your = Cammilteo has thought it important in this report to 3d- Sart briofly to the ressons why they abould be dis countenanced. Itiano part of the objoect of the Club o make religious converis, Whether pious men are or are not, as a rule, more easily converted from tho ways of ox8 to the paths of sobriety, i is » question which may be intarcsting to casuists, but, in the work of this Glub, can have no - practical beating, rince, if the afirmative of the proposition is true, the means employed by the Club will_opersts a8 Teadily upon those who are religicus s upan thoss ‘who are not 8o. On the other hand,if s religious platform shall be adopted, the question of what sect or _denomination shall be considered as the one whose banner unfolded will have first to bo determined, and that de- termination, whatevar it may be, will most cortainly Dave tha efféct to drive from the Giubmans of its most influential members, and will also confino ita operation within the narrow limits of a single or =t most few donominations. Tho purposaof the Club is to save men from_drunkenness, and it is utterly immaterial whether the individual whose salvation in this world is sought belioves that the Cathiolle, Protestant, Jow- ish, or Mohammedan path to Heaven i the only one, or whether Lie has no belief at all._Your Committes i& satiafied that the Club will best succeed in sccomplish- ing that porposs by avoidiog all sectarion discussion, and by leaving to other organizati 3 other ions th daty of mak. ing religious converta, G aur Gommitteo hag st all times endeavorod 0 prac- tioo the principlea above advocated, and the success it Tea met with would hiave been far less than it has been if's different course had been followed, That succeas consists of the organization of four Clubs, which aro Tiow in fall operation, and of making the necssary AT~ Tangements for the, formation of a number of other Clubs, which will, as your Committes bas good resson to bellevs, st an'early day ba in good oondi- ton, ‘Tho firet Club organized is kuown as the COLLIER TEMPERANCE REFORM CLUB, No, 1. This Club hos beon In operation three months, and bas & membership of 2bout 30, included in whick Are numerous indivlduala who, st the time ihe Club Wau formed, wero gencrally regurded as habitual drunkards, Its meetings are held Mondays, 2t 7:30 p. m., at the Tenth Church, on_Ashloy sireet, botween Boboy and Hoyne. Tho entertain- Tonts ot thess meetings consist of declamations, speech and reocial intercourse, and they, Whtle far shorl of what it is the desirs of this Committes to make them, are greatly superior to any- thing heretofore offerod in temperance societies, They havo thus far proved #0 attractive as to draw very lerge audlences, which, 88 tho meetings have be- come mare generally known, have kept on_growing in size, The success of the Colller has been great, and the kood sccomplished by It can b nscertained by any one who will attend its meetings, and lssrn from its Iembors what changes in their candition in Life kas been wrought by it. o SIETOD AoTTED ymmittee organization of s sim- R Tn Al casen, and o shors account of it sa foliowed in the case of the Collier will be now given: A meot- ing was held on the 3d of January Lt at the charch st which the Collier holds 14 mositngs, which %as ad- ‘were reform- forward, took the pledge and joined tbs Club, and Rave, with but one single* excepiion, 65 far ss 'your Ccmmittes has been able to sscertain, since that time ben sober and indastrions men 1ad women, and good and valuable members of society. Such, in brief, was the method adopted by your Committes in the organi- zation of the Collier, and that method has boen fol- lowed, &3 nearly s circumstances would permit, in the organization of the other Clubs, ‘Those clube are the Varney, the Stanch, the Wins- low, and the Typographical. ‘The Varney (lub haa not made as rapid " progress as it would bave done bad it ot besn for tho sicknees and death of it late Presi- dent, W.

Its membership numbers 146 persons, of whom the largest number are re- formed men, Tho interest in it has been constantly incresaing, and it has the capacity to, and doubtless will, accomplish a large amount ‘of good among a clas] of men whoss ablities are everywhero conceded and whose material progreas has been very much im- peded by the use of intoxicating drinks, That the Typographical will succeed in rescuing a very con- siderable number of men is hoped for Ly every good citizen, and is not doubted by your Committes, In addition to the Ciubs alresly mentioned, pro- ceedings for the organizstion of one ot the BHethiel Home, another in the neighborliood of Sedgwick and Division streets, and a third near Twenty-alth strect aud Wentworth avenus, have taken, and your Committeo oxpects, at an early day, to camplets the s s A Club which has been tion for some time t at Nickersonvilla de i been taksz to commnnicate with the Club referred to, in order to bring abont & consolidation with it. The value of the contemplated union to both Ciubs can be readily appreciated. The principles adopted by this Clab_ssem to have ‘et with much favor outsido of the City of Chicago, and hiave been adopted by a society in Aurors, in this State, the worth and intelligence of whose members are snfficient guaranties of fature success. In Mil- ‘'waukee, Detroit, and elsowhere, Clubs aro being form- ed, and your Commities has assurances that they will £I'bo able to accomplish a great good. Your Committee is satisfied, from its observation of the work already done, that if the plan adopted_shsll be vizoroualy prosecuted, the City of Chicago will, be- foro the close of the present year, contain, at the loweat calcalation, TWENTY AUXILIARY CLUBS. To maintain in_these the interest already felt'will ro- quire a considersble degree of labor, and soine changes in the mode of carrying the workom. The labor is now performed by this Committee, a0d, whils nons of ita members are dispossd toehirk the dutizs devolr- ing upon them, yot the volume of businessto be done will be greater thau they can perform. This 1a ome of the reasons which induces your Comrittes to recommend the organization of s society, to be com- posedof delegates from this and from the auxiliary Clube, to adopt a plan for tho organization of a dele- gated body, o take charge and supervision of the work entered npon. Tae capacity of such a dele- gated body for tho work will be rendered grea that poasessed Dby this organization. It will contain ‘members whose experfence and capacily caunot now be made ayailable, it will give grester dignity to the efforts which may be made, and it will prove highty satisfactory toall of the nuxiliary Clubs, ~Your Com-~ mittes thefefore recommend that it be authorized to call a convention of delogates from the auxiliary Clubs. |- for the purpose meationed, at as early a day a8 practi- cable, snd that as soon a5 that Conveution shall com- plete the organization of o delegated soclety, this Olub shall take ita place as an suxiliary i Your Committee has considered the quasti A BUILLING SO0TETY ‘whose business it shall b to provide a safe and profit- able mode for the invesiment of the umall weekly or ‘monthly savings of the tnambers of this and of the suxilfiry Clubs. The success of such societies in Phil- adelplis, Cincinnati, and clsewhere has been 80 great, and the results accomplished by them so beneficial, a8 toleavs no doubt whatever of a like success in Chi- cago, Small sums, such as would be considerod too insignificant to deposit in 8 savings bank, if invested in such a society, at short intervals, would, in a few years, bo equal in amount to the cost of a small dweli- ing. "To furnish to men of moderate meéans an oppoz- tunity to obtain a home would, in the opinion of your Committee, be a work closely allied to that undertaken by the Club, The reasons which lsd to this opinion 13y be briefly stated. en who work for ealaries seldom have, at any one tima, considerable sums of money. The graater por- tion of whst they recciveis m y expended in tho support of themselves and their familics, and whatever remaina 13 usually regarded as baing too son- temptiLle to lay up. Those who haveany surplus or- dinarily consider it ua valuabls only 60 far s it will minister totheirsppetites and pleasures, and, believing the company found in the saloons to bo pléasant and agroeuble, they uso that surplus in trouting their ac- quaintances, and_thus scquire Labits of intemperanca which last through their lives, If these men were to become possessed of _sufficient sum to purchase, or to make 3 payment upon, real estate, tho desira to spend small sums would ‘be grestly léssened, and in proportion as it would be tha formation of drihking Dabits would bo decreased. Whenever a start fowards the accumulation of » sum sufficieut to make such payment is once made, every individual fecls like pressing on and making that accumulation as Largs a8 poseible, When, thererore, an investment is once made, he who makes it desirea to have it grow, an bend his best ener- d gies to pccomplish that end. A man who has $30 in- vested in o bullding soclety would be anxious to in- crease it to $100, and as the sum increases, so wonld his deaires and also his efforts to save, 4 building so- Cciety among men who arein the habit of frequenting saloons would eut Off o very large share of the rev- eues of the saloon-keeper, and tend #s much a8 any other thing to advance the cause of temperance. It would, in sddition, sdd another interesting feature to the Club, and have the effect to increase its num snd efficlency, Your Committee would not advise that the beneata of such s saciety be con fined to the Club members, but think that, by extending them to ail, manyindividusls can be seached and induced. to Jois Clat Your Committee desires, before closing this report, to acknowledge the many courtesies extended to it by the press and the public, and to thank all persons who Dave assisted it a¢ entertainments, and by speaking, by throwiug open halls and churches, and otherwice, for their kindnesses, To_name all the individuals to whom the Club and the Committee are under oblig- tions would take s very considerable amouxt of space, end yonr Committeo therafore confines itself to » gen~ eral ackmowledgment. o The members of this Committes feel that the Ciub has undertaken great work, and thot its foture will be alorions, and all"of them pledge themaelves to per. form their share of the duties allotted o them. All of fary, H.Trozw, Chairman, Mr. Boward Tilden was elocted = delegate to the Temperancs Alliance, vice L. N. Varnay, de- coased. . A CONVENTION 10 DE CALLED. The following resolution was affered and car- nied : --Resolved, That the Executiva Committes be and tha sume i3 hareby auttiorizad fo call a Convention, to be composed of three delegates from this Clab, and three delegates from cach suxiliary club now or hereafter to be organized, for the purpose of forming a central as- socistion to bave general supervision nnd con-trol of all the Temperance Reform Cluba In Chicago. Mr. Tilden gave notice that he would offera ‘motion at the next meeting to amend the Con- stitation by providing that, in cases of violation of the pledge by officers, notice of a charge thereof on the minutes should be a sufficiont no- tice of such charge, and such officer should be removed from office. Notice wz3 given that s new Reform Club would be soon organized at the Bathel Home, and that o meoting for the canse of temperance would be held Thursday evening st the corner of Western avanue and Ohio street, when addresses would be made by Justice ,Scully and Miss Frac- ces A.
