Alas, roor Carl Klings. Once he was tho all poworiul Lictator of the Chicago Communists, nnd tus word was law unto his followers. To- day there in none so poor to dd> him rover- ence.

The Commuuiste oxpected that Papn Kliugs, 88 thoy fanuliarly called him, would furnish them, not oniy with free lunches, but also with frea beer. As to the froe lunch, Mr, Klings lled tho bill, for his counter was always loaded with o goodly supply of stale bread, muatard, end dog-sausage. Dut for tho beer he charged G centy o glans, just the samo as the common cnpitalies ewloou-kaepors. And, though Mr. Iilings afrerwards reduced tho price of bis beor to & conts for two glasses, yot I8 was no go. and ho did mot take io cgough mones to pay bis reat.

To the Editor of The Chicano Tribune: Barrix Cuger, Mich, Dec. 10.—For nomo timo I hiave intondod to call tho attention of tho Western people to the importance of a nlup- caual across Michigan, by way of tho Knlamazoo Rtiver, Tho enorwous loases on the lakes, from Chicago aronud to Lake Lrie, would, in my apinion, iv five yenrs go a great way towards making a canal and slackwater from Lake Alicti- gan %o the Detrolt River, at or about Wyandot, Knowing the iy of tho country as [ do, I thivk tho matter perfectly feasible. From (the lake to Allogan, the whole channel could bo mado by steam-drodge, no locks being required. From Allegan to the summit, northeust of Jack- son, there would bo needod not over ton to fif- teou hift-locks of 6 fo 10 feot, and & sumont- lovel of 20 to 25 milos at most, to striko the hend watern of the Iluron River. Water cay be supplied from lokes on the nortn of the routo; and the route from thers to Wyandot is almost a dead levol. Not a mile on the wholo routs would be in raok, So that o caunl and slackwntor of tho Kal- umuzoo River would noc ouly creato an tmmonsn water-power, buc milhons of acres of the richost rivar-bottom lauds would be reclaimed for agri~ cuttural purposos, It would also umprovo tho henith of the country. As Clucago s, and must ovor be, the groatoat grain and moat mart on this earth, I ask, Why should we ot the Yeat continuc, as we have dono aud aro constantly doing, buildiog up New York, Ilostou, Albany, 'Tioy, ond ncores of cities ln the FEasl,—thus paying tribute to those places, to our own dotriment ? Wo have umber, iron, copper, lead, etc., to build our own ships, muahootir own barrols, bozes, and evorything needed to onable us to send our produce direct Lo cyery country in Enrope, and, 1 fact, sl ovor the world, it is but a few yoars since ships of 600 tons wers oonsidered large ships. Vossols of 400 to 500 ons can transport to Europe dircot, by haviug n canal across Michigan, at about what we now pay to New York, autt save, tho cartage, atorage, oommiasions, broknrago, wastage, and stealage that ara building up New York, Brooklyn, and wucoros of other eitfos, This should bo o national work., I propose to mako o prelimipary surver as snon a8 possibls, to ascortain the riso and falj of the Kalamazoo; also, tho entirs route to tho Detroit Rivar. This done, and a causl across Canada to tha Welland Conal wonld also be mude, and shorten the route. A uarrow-gaugo railroad for towing vou- sols wonld bo of itnmena¢ bonelit. As no floods over 1ige to do anvdamage on thoe Kalamszoo River, it 14 ono ot tho safost and cheapest routan that can be found tor s caual. Build this great work, ond every town on {18 route would bum with shipbuilaing; Chicagn sonld become tho great cotnmercial mnrt of tho boundless West ; and evory acre of our rich lands would loom np invalue.” 1 think #3,000 will make a prollmlm? survey, Will Chicago rospoud at once? Will the Board of Trade take action in this important matter? Yours traly. I, Wi, P. H.~1 havo a compotent enginesr engaged to mako the survey ; 8o Lhat petitionscan he got up and prosonted to Congres for an approprias tion towards the work, or to bave tho Govurn- mont do it. This work done, millions ot dollars uow anuually lost wonld bo_saved, aa well as thousands of lives. Thers isno lack of water, au thero are hundreds of lakes on tho route, or near to it, that can be feedera and now empty into tho Kalamazoo River I have Lad exten- #ivo knowledge of canal and slackwator navi- ration in Pounsvivanis, and sm convinced that ess thun 28,000,000 will make this work for ‘vessols of 500 tons burdon.
