SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1880. ‘THERE were n{nety-six personsin all killed by the breaking of the bridge over the Hiver Bbroin Spain. Asan instance of poetic justice, itshould be mentioned that the Lieutenant of Engifeers who devised the structure was one of the victims. ‘ Haxzas, the Canadian oarsman, sailed from New York yesterday for England, where he Will row against Trickett, the Australian. Hanlan is reported to be in excellent condition and spirits, and very confident of his ability to perform ahead of the Australian on the Father Thames. We bope so. ‘YELLow-FEVER has become epidemic in f#ome of the Cuban villages. The Creoles, who btive hitherto enjoyed a singular immunity from the disease, have been attucked during the pastfew days. There were twenty-eight deaths from the disease at Havana during the last week. The number of fatal cases of small-poxr in‘that city was reduced to one. _————st - Curcaco is not the only place in the coun- try: which has suffered from oppressive heat anda moisture-clogged atmosphere during the past week. It is reported from New York that, although the thermometer did not range as high a# at other tithes during the summer, the pres- duce of a large quantity of moisture in the at- mosphere made the weather almost unbearable. ALBANIAN affairs are in as muddled a con- ditidn as they have been at any time for the fast six months. The’ Turkish officials are either incapable or supine, while the Albanian \Wadérd ate'sigeressive and Geflant. They now thrested to invade Servia and Montencgro should the Buropean naval ficet bombard any of their towns. In any case they will give con- siderable trouble for a long time to come. : tne’ ‘fie Lords took Mr. Forster’s hint, although Lord Granvilie went to the unecessary trouble of telling them that the hot-tempered Quaker gave expréscion to his individual opinion only. ‘They passed the Hares and. Rebbits bill in its “original fotmi last night. The business of both Houses is now in such shape that the proroga- ficn of Parliament an Tuesday is rendered cer- tain. . ———— Tx Philadelphia District Court Judge fis become convinced that Dr. Buchanan, of Yogus medical-certificate notoriety, has not committed suicide, but isaliveand active, though not within the jurisdiction of the Court.. Tho Judge yesterday ordered that the bail given for his appearance be forfeited. which will probably’ convince the Doctor's bondsmen that he is not 8 safe person to trust. : —————— Gxk. Ronekrs’ victory over Ayoob Khan seemsto have been complete, although it was purchased at considerable loss to tho British force, particulariy among the Sepoy. regiments. The Afghans were evidently surprised, and their force was utterly demoralized. Ayoob. has re- treated toward Herat, but whether Gen. Roberts ‘will follow him up is.not yet clear from the dis- patches to hand. One of the niost cowardly and treacherous incidents of this Afghan campaign Was thé murder of Liett. MéLaii “in Ayoob Khan's tent. The‘young officer ‘had beett capt-" ‘ured at Kushk-i-Nakud, thd beéa held ag pris- oner by the Afghans, and -was evidently put to death by Ayoob Khan when defeat soemed cer~ tain. The brutality of the act, violating 18 it does all rules of honorable warfare and soldicrly generosity, will detract much from the sympathy hitherto bestowed on the Afghans. —_—_—_—_ A THOUSAND-TON floating tank of keronene which was: being towedon the River Volga to- wards Baku exploded recently and caused the death of thirty men: A -boatman brought a light in too closo proximity to the tank and caused the disaste! § ‘Two STAGE-COACHES, oné from Cave City, Ky., to the Mammoth Cave and the other from the Cave to the city, were stopped Friday night by a band of highway robbers, and the passen- gers and coaches were rifled of all their vaiua- bles. ‘To compensate their Victims for the losses sustained, or, maybap, to cheer their drooping spirita, the highwaymen treated them all, tem- perance men and topers alike, to some excellent Kentucky whisky. z ee Mr. Guapsrone entered the House of Commons iast evening for the first time, since bis recent illness, and was received with tre- mendous cheering. He has been sadly missed during some of the recent debates, and.it may be that his followers appreciate him more on that account. But however the members of Parliament may regard bim, It Js certain that Englishmen admire and love Mr. Gladstone above all hig contemporarics. SrnrerxG miners are'causing considerable trouble in Jackson and Perry’ County, Oblo. At the former, place a detachment of State militia were stonéd by the striker, and at the latter a body of thetn sought to drive gome colored miners from their work. The end is not yet, as the strikérs are becoming dangerously offensive; so much, 86 that the troops may at any time open fite on them. Should, the troops be withdrawn, the men now at work will have to put up with considerable annoyance or leave the place. ‘ 2 Some Mexican newspapers recently cre- ated a great sensation by publishing the details of a supposed conspiracy between Gen. Ord and bis Mexican son-in-law, Gen. Trevino, tho object of which was to establish an independent Republic consisting of several Mexican prov- inces, and after, as was done in the case of ‘Texas, to negotiate for the annexation of the territory to the United States. The conspiracy ad its existence only in the imagination of the ever-plotting Mexican editors. A-¥inz broke out in the Dudley House, at Salamanca, N. Y.. early yesterday morning, and spread with astonishing rapidity. The two fire organizations of the place were utterly unable to cope with the flames, and it was not until the arrivalof anengine and hose company from Bradford thatthe fire was gotunder control. There were destroyed in all some twenty-two buildings, valued at $157,000. The insurance will hardly equal half thatsum. The fire is sup- posed to have been caused by the explosion of Kerosene-lamp. ‘A Mexican Roman Catholic priest recent ly incited a Greaser mob to attack a party of Protestants engaged in’ the dedicatory services at a place of worship in Guadalajara. Several of the unoffending Protestants were assasinated and the surpliced scoundrel bad the inhumanity and fiendishness to tauntingly offer the victims of his fanatical followers the sacraments of the Church whioh he had disgraced. It is too much to expect of Mexican justice that this clerical fiend may be hanged. a Apagty named Reeve, who is said to be. the husband of an adopted daughter of Post- master-Genetal Maynard, is reported to have made an affidavit which he intended to file yes- terday, but which he did not, charging Assiat- ant-Postmaster Brady with corrupt transactions in connection with a star mail-route contract. The affidavit alsosetsforth that Reeveoverheard some lobbyists say they had bribed fifteen Con- gressmen and-a number of newspaper corre- spondents. It isbelieved that Reeve will not now file his information, but why has not been definitly stated. A pagry of commercial travelers from In- diana, ‘accompanied by their wives and sweet- hearts, visitéd Gen. Garfield at his home at Men- toryesterday, and after an exceedingly appropri- ate address by the Chairman. Mr. G:C. Webster, and as appropriate a response by Gen. Garfield, the members of the party wereintroduced to the General, his wife, and mother. They were then invited to pattake of the hospitalities of his home, and, after a stroll through his farm and orchard, took leave well pleased with their visit, ‘The festive drummers improvised a glee clubon the grounds and strenaded the General and his family before leaving. Tx& Russian Nihilists seem to be as active as ever, but their schemes appear to be doomed w failure. The railroad over which the Russian Emperor passed Friday and yesterday on his way to Livadia is reported to have been ruined in two places, but owing to the diligence of Gen. Melikoff the plot was discovered in time to save the Czar some rapid transit in an upward direc- tion. In ofe of the mines was found 108 pounds of dynamite packed in two cases, This quanti- tyif properly applied would blow up all the Czars who ever tyrannized over Russian serfs. The cable reports last night state that his Majes- ty arrived in safety at Livadia. ——_ Mr. Pamir Catiay, the Irish member of Parliament who was témporarily excluded from the House of Commons in the email hours of yebterday morning, is a somewhat notorious character. He owed his election to his wife's speeches as much as to the fact that his oppo- nent is the leader of the Irish Temperance: party. The saloonkeepers of Mr. Callan’s con- stituency subscribed liberally to defray hiselec- tuon expenses, and, notwithstanding the active opposition of Mr. Parnell, he was elected by a small majority by whisky and beer filled voters,” Callan is known among his assuciates by the |, appropriate name of ‘Fill Gailon.” : _————e - RECENT intelligence from the Florida coast indicates that about a dozeu persons who were on board the ill-fated Vera Cruz havé escaped. Seven of the survivors, consisting. of one pas- senger, an engineer, an oiler, and four seamen, arrived at Savannah, Ga., yesterday. ‘Their ac- count of the disaster does not differ materially from’the accounts given in the telegraphic col- umns of THE TRUBUNE yesterday. About 5:30 p.m. on Sunday aheavy sea struck the Vera +] Cruz, putting out the lights and fires, and sweep- ing away the boats and rafts. The steamer sank the same night. The Captain was washed over- board long before the vessel went down. ————= _Mns. Grirrrx, the wife of a prominent lawyer and politician of Detroit, filed a bill in . the Superior Court of that city asking fora divorte from her husband on tlie ground that he refuses to live with het aly longer or even to furnish her with sufficient money to support herself. Mr. Griffin has filed a cross-bilt in which he denies some of ‘the state- ments made, and asserts that he will be able to prove certain facts against Mrs. Griffin which will justify his course. What the facts are he dues not state, but the curiosity of the Detroit people ‘is excited, and they are anxiously awaiting the developments of tho case. A spicy.chapter of scandal is antici- patede Mn. Heyny Gruen, ‘of Newberry County, South Carolina, went to a river bard by his resi- dence yesterday morning to indulge. in’ his fa~ vorit pastime of fishing. He baited his hook and waited somie titne for a bite, but as he got tone be proceeded to examine the watér to ascertain if it was clear enough for fishing. His feelings may be imagined ‘when he afscovered lying in the stream the dead body of his son. A liftle farther down one of Mr. Grier's companions discovered another body, which turned out to be that of his second so, Both were perforate with bullet-wounds, and it is evident that the young men were victims of foul play. ‘The gentleman has been overcome bf grief at hii horrifying discovery. * pt Lee = Tue London Times feels scandalized ‘at the bold language used by: Mr. Forster and Mr, Bright in the House of Commons Friday nightin Yeference’ to the House of Lords; and rejoices that the near approach of the end of the session precludes the possibility of such language being repeated in Parliament... The Liberal papers, on the contrary, indorse the language of thetwo Quaker - Liberals as timely and necessary, and ' point to the fact that the Peers yielded sevérat points Friday night as, Tanguage ised, The Timés fs also mitich annoyed at, thd obstriictive tavtics pursued by Parnell, | Dillow, ‘aid “O’Cohtior, arid’ still more 46 ut rhe many concessions which the Ministers made to these gentlemen. There is no doubt that the incidents of Friday night inaugurate a new and radical departure in British politics. When Mr. Bright referred-a few years ago to the “childish tinkering " of the House of Lords, his words were scarcely noticed. Now there is an active and aggressive public opinion behind the utterers of like'sentiments, - The confilct is not fat off. E ‘ Bg “Tue primaries for the First Congressional District Convention have been called for next Saturday. The notice is unprecedentedly short. ‘Tho primaries of the Second and Third Districts . are to be’ held on the samo day. But the Third District Committee. fixed the date eleven days ago, and the. Second District. Committee five days ago. Thore was much dissatisfaction at the short notice given in the Second District. But the action of the Committee in that district was irreproachable in comparison with that of the First District Committee. The people in Du Page County and the country towns cannot be informed of the call-before Tuesday, and there will then be but four days for preparation. It is understood that a snap judgment is sought to be taken in the First District in the in- terest of a vertain candidate. He'is not the -most desirable candidate; but it might be said, if be obtained the nom- ation In afairand honorable way, that ho was entitled to the support of every good Republic- an. Whether this shall be said or not after the’ Conventton, it is certain that be will not com- ‘mand the full party vote if nom.nated by a trick. It is altogether improbable that he will benefit, as he expects to do, by the sharp prac- tice of his friends. The people do not like snap primaries. This was demonstrated only a few months ago. The person in whose interest such measures are taken is the one who most con- spicuously deserves to be’ beaten in the Oohven-_ tion. There is time yet for the people of the First District to defeat. the schemes of tha pesti- lent political clique wh se candidite this man ds... Quick and thorough organization wilt do it. Attendance tipon ‘the primaries will. do it, But ‘uséless lanienting and ‘recrimination will not do it. The Kepublican party cannot afford to take the'great risks which the noimination of an im-_ proper candidate would involve.. Good Repub- Heans in the First District must give some ti me to their country between this, and Saturday, —— THE FIRST. CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT. ‘The First Congressional District, composed in the main of the South Division of this city, is perhaps the most important district represented in. Congress. It comprises the great bulk of the wealth of Chicago. All the principal banks, storehouses, mercantile |. and manufacturing establishments and trade centres for the immense commerce of the great Notthwest are located in this district.” Init centre all the trunk lines of raflruad that‘connect the seaboard with the West. It constitutes, in fact, what is known as Chi- engo to the outside world. Hence every con- sideration of local pride suggests that one of the best types of Chicago’s citizenshipshould besent to Congress from this district, The time is approaching when selections must be made for this distinguished representation, and the political status of the district is such that the party which presents the best ma~ terial-to the people will win the victory.. There is one point on which both parties should agree in the case of the First District, and that is to send no’ obscure or negative person. to. Congress. Whoever shall be se- ‘lected should be a representative of the great busivess interests of this city, or a - prominent professional man, or a citizen who has already achieved some distinction in publiclife. The district cannot be fitly rep- resented by a “ nobody.” According to ad- vices that have come to Tor TRIBUNE, one gentleman is making -an effort to secure the Republican nomination who does not answer in any respect to the description we have given of the obvious requirements for the place. We refer to Capt. White, who. is connected in some way with the railway-mail service. Capt. White may ‘be, for aught. we-know,: a” very,: esti- mable person: and a competent’ Post-Office eniployé. But the people: of the First Dis- trict have absolutely no information as tp his claims for Congressional honors. The ma- jority of voters will be. obliged to inquire diligently who Capt. White is, and it will puzzle then to ascertain any warrant for. & Justification of the. raising him to the highest Congressional distinction by ‘calling him to represent the most important district in the countty. In fact, the people who are to be represented would never have ‘dieamed of calling-Capt. White away: from -his Post-Office work if he had. not obtruded himself upon pub- lic notice. His pretensions to the Re publican nomination seem to be based solely upon the assumption thathe can command the support of a certain number of Government stipendiaries. . This is not a sufficient’ reconimendation for the place. In fact, if it be true, as is reported, that the Post-Office force is now being employed to manage the’ primaries and run the Convention in tho- in- terests of Capt. White, that circumstance aloné should be a sufficient reason tvhy the. coveted nomination should be withheld from: him, and it will go far towards defeating him if he be nominated. : The people of the First District will insist upon the privilere of sé- lecting their own representative in Congress without the interference of the Post-Office crowd, and they will not go among the ob-. scure inen to find their material, nor. submit to ‘any process of manipulation. through quasi-Governinent and: railway influences. ‘The Sooner the Post-Office employés under- stand this and withdraw their impertinent interference, the better it. will be for them and for the interests of the First District. ‘The names of three gentlémen have been mentioned in connection with the Republican, nomination, any one of whom will probably be acceptable to the people. We refer to Kirk Hawes, Emery A. Storrs, and Mr. Aldrich, the present member. Mr. Hawes is not anxious to go to Congress, but he has made his iinpréss upon the whole country as aman of rar¢ ability. The same is true_of Mr. Storrs. Mr: Aldrich has had a Congres- sioilal experience which renders him better fitted to-day than ever before for Congres- stonal service, All these gentlemen, each in his own way, ate representative men, but they are not using any special personal ef- forts to secure the nomination; indetd, Mr. Hawes refuses to lift his hand or raise his voice to advance his claims, but would prob-. ably accept the nomination, and would surely be elected if he were to run. There are others whose: nomination would be credita- ble arid who would-be available candidates, but thé selection must be confined to men of, prominence, character, and capacity. There are reasons to believe that the Democrats will be governed by these considerations this year; the Republicans, must defer to them in: that case in order to win. CHICAGO HORSE-RAILWAYS, The general advantage and conventence of horse-railways are not more conspicuous in any eity in the country than they are in Chicago.’ They liave become a public necés- sity. This necessity:is shown: by the fact tat, though the lines are already niimerous, | they are still too few: for present purposes, ; and that thé inctease of ‘routes must continue ‘for many.: years to come. The:man who supposes that all the routes needed for horse-cars have been taken up greatly mistakes’ the present and future wants of the city. ‘The, time is rapidjy com- ing when thé number of lines inust be quad- rupled, or there must be some other means of transportation supplied. gy. F ‘The steain transportation on the lake-shore Toads. may fufnish ‘for ‘tims a means of réactiing that part of the South ‘Division neat thé lake. But an elevated: railway.on a.line Heater State street is is‘iitich neetled at this time a8. was the first horse-railway’ when constructed on State street in 1859) : The South Sida, however, is but a small 5 portion of the city. ‘It contains buta fraction ° over. one-fourth of the whole population. The great spread of population is in the West and North Divisions. Between the central- part of the city and these: divisions the-river interposes an insuperable bartler to the con- struction of elevated-railways. Such im- provements, wheniconstructed, 28 they un- doubtedly Will be, must have their down-town termini at Canal or Kinzie street. An ele- vated railway with‘ ranches may yet, and within a short time, become Indispensable to furnish therapidly-increasing population now living in ‘that part of.the city west of Canal street. ‘This district, ten years hence, if it be furnished with the means of rapfd communi- cation with the other parts of the city, may contain a half million inhabitants, and the greater their number the greater will be the necessity? for speedier transit than can be ! streets ‘exclusively by day and by night. furnished by horse-railways. In like man- ner the North section of the city will need. something faster and something capable of moving more people than the horse-cars; and. La Salle‘or Franklin street may yet, become the route of an elevated railway extending. even into the suburban villages, and render- ing Lake View: in’ point of time as near the river as is Chicago avenue at present. But, however remote may be the day for lines of elevated réads to meet the pressing wants of élty travel, nothing is so much cal- culated to make them an immediate necessity as an insufficient ‘supply of horse-railways. However numerous niay be the cars now em- ployed, their insufficiency, on the North and West Sides is shown: whenever travel is in- terrupted by the opening of a bridge. Ina few years, to uccommodate. the travel on lark street and on Madison and Randolph rtreets, .there will have to be continuous double processions of cars occupying those There must be more lines of travel opened for horse-cars, or living west of Halsted street and: north: of Chicago . avenue will become intolerable to persons doing business in the southern part of the city. To open these additional -streets for horse-rail ay travel would be a simple thing were it not for the necessity of crossing the river.. :The cars’ now 50 crowd the bridges that they greatly incommiode all other vehi- cles, “All the bridges crossing the main river, éxcept that at Rush street, are now used by horse-cars. To the west, Randulph, Madison, and Van Buren street bridges are used by horse-railways, and there are now pending applicatidns by, several companies to estab- lish a line on Lake street; and we do not see why: lines may not be also put on Aflams street, Harrison. street, and Twelfth street. The additional lines are all needed, and the want of them is positively & great inconven- ience. Ks yer Just herg itis probably the time to suggest that, while the city.has been heretofore most libe.ul in its dealings with horse-railways, the City Government should remember that the general: public have some rights and in- terests which might now be as well asserted. Tho horse-railways are not struggling for ex- istence; they are all able to maintain them- selves, and to declare dividends that are large, no matter to what proportions their capital stock may: be increased. Without saying anything as regards the past, and without raisirig any question as to disturb-’ ing vested rights, would it not be well for the Council to withhold any further fran- chises unless there be sume compensatory consideration made to the city? Thereis not a dray, a. truck, an express-wagon, or a hack, or any::other vehicle, used in this city for’“hire - or ‘gain which, does not pay; into; ‘the City ‘Treasury. a license-fee, We except the cars of the horse-railways. The bridges used” by’ the horse-cars- are. occupied -one-half the time by the cars, which in like manner have the’ right of way, to the exclusion of other ve- hiclés; on both bridges and streets. Has not the time now arrived when the City Govern- ment, before extending these privileges and these franchises, or granting them to new lines, should. stipulate (1) that the horse- railway companies using any: bridge shall be compelled to keep the same in repair, and when thereto required shall build a new bridge in place of the old one; or (2), thatthe company shall: be allowed to use its addi-- tional privileges upon condition of paying an annual Hcense-fee foreach car run by itin the city; or (8), in‘len of these considera- tions, that the company shall pay monthly into the City. Treasury. one cent, or one- half cent, or even.a quarter cent, for each passenger carried’ by it during‘said month, not only on the newly-authorized lines or routes, bat on all: the lines operated by said | company within the city ? ‘ It is possible that within the next few years there will beas many miles of ‘new horse- railway opened in. the city as there are now operated. Such additional service has or will become a public necessity; ‘and it is for the City Govériment now, and before it enlarges existing or grants.-new franchises, to con- sider that if these franchises are worth grant ing at all they are worth paying for, and that now is the titiie to make them contribute to the City Treasury:and to the benefit of the general public, We submit this suggestion to Mayor Harrison, to the City Controller, to the Railway Committee of the Council, as well as to the City Council generally, and to the public. : ~ : OUR SCHOOLS. To-morrow the’ public schools of Chicago will open under the most favorable auspices, the brightest promises of usefulness, and the most kindly influences. The election of Mr. Howland laat June put'an end to the sup- posed rule of the’ mischiet-making pot- “house politicians and petty intrignnts over the public schools of our city, and put an’ end, too,. to all suspicion of official espfoii- age, pompous emptiness, and cumbrous.non- sense which obtained in them for the past three years,—a system which -was irritat- ing to the teachers, detrimental to the pupils, and: degrading to the schools. With the in- cumbency of Mr,.Howland, and through his tact, energy, aud scholarship; there is abun- dant promise that the schools. will attain to the high rank which they held and the splendid reputation to which they attained j under Mr. Pickard. . Already there are many evidences of a better state of affairs. In the few wecks which have elapsed since his--election. Mr, Howland has not been idle. ‘ He has advised. -changes which are as desirable as they prom- ise to be productive of good results. The establishment of three High Schools,—one in each division of ‘the city,—instead of the so- called Division High Schools, places within the reach of every enterprising and ambitious Chicago boy and’ girl the means of obtaining a first-class business or academic education. The staff of the old High School ‘has beefi judiciously distributed among these three schools, and the“ Prigcipalships ‘are held by three excellent. men. - Mr.-G. P. Welles, the new. Principal of: the largest and most important of. them, through his quie}dignity, broad scholarship, and stalwart mantiness, has had not. Uttle to-do in moliiiz’ the’ character of some of the brightest. young meit and some of the best women of Chicago who ‘Were! ifs pupils: ti’ ‘the ‘senior’ class. of the Central High School... The ‘course of *- instruction *’ has: . been. rearranged, and is' “now “igs .,thorough,- “practical, } aitd ¢ymmetrical-as- might be expected of the work: of so experienced and thoughtfal a teacher as Mr. Howland: ' It may not be out of the way to add that this remodification’ of’ our High-Schiool’system will'save the taxpay- ers about $10,000 annually. ‘ The return to. tha clearly-defined distinc- tion-.tetweer grammar and-primary schools is also a commendable move. ‘The prospect of promotion to the Grammar School stimu- lates the primary papils to far greater energy than any mereclass promotion possibly could; besides, taken in connection witli the read- justment of’ boundaries which the Superin- tendent has.in:contemplation, the change will-enable him to use every sitting in the schools, for, the accommodation. of. pupils, and there will be no such anomalous and ridiculous state of affairs as existed during the last term of the last schoo! year, when there were at Isast three vacant‘rooms in the Skinner Building, while the Dore and other surrounding. schools were uncomfortably crowded, and while: there were hundreds.of pupils in various parts of the city who could not gain admission for want of room, as it ‘was represented to'them. Mr. Howland has set to reforniing these abuses In real! earnest, . and he promises to economize every. school. sitting so as to accommodate as many pupils as possible. ; : - The new Superintendent has done enough alrendy to-prove the wisdofn of the Buard-of Education in electing him, but much more may be expected. He has a most efficient, corps of assistants, and will have their cordial support, as well as the support and ‘advice of some of the best School Prin- cipals in ‘the country,—men. of.’ the robust,. good sense’ and intellectual’ vigor of Mr.-Hannan, Mr. Babcock, and. Mr. Heywood, and women (and here it may be remarked the women Principals are all good) of the keen educational insight and unflag- ging industry of Mrs. Young and Miss Curtis. Besides li¢ has in the fullest degree the con- fidence of the Board of Education, of the pupils ag far as they know, and of the entira people of Chicago. His long residence here, his affable manners, his genial good nature have. endeared him to all, while his: varied and comprehensive « scholar- ship and manly dignity have won universal respect.. Under;. the circum- stances we feel justified in saying that never before did the schools of Chicago open under happier auspices or with brighter prospects. ‘The teachers will return to work to-morrow with brighter faces and in better humor-than they have at any September for a Jong time. Their cheerfulness cannot fail to have its effect on a large percentage of the'50,000 or 60,000 pupils under their charge. There is harmony all round,—among Superintendent, Principals, teachers, pupils, and parents. To ‘use the words of the brightest’ educational man of Chicago or the Northwest, the Gold- en Age of the schools has returned,—re- turned, if is tobe hoped, to stay. © ———_— EXIT THE MAN AT THE CHTS. The absolute existence of the Man at the Crib is -_proven..by his resignation, and the cause of his: resignation proves: that he has the same pecuniary aspirations as any manon shoré. There have been base slan- ders to the effect that there’ was no such thing as a Man at the Crib,—in other words, that he was a myth, like Pocahontas and William Tell. There have been other stories that the Man at the Crib was @ sort of ne’er- do-well, who spent his time with his legs dangling over the edge of the Crib, fishing for perch. All sorts of popular myths and legends have been associated about this man without a country, none of which have done him justice. Now that the: Man at the Crib revisits terra firma and becomes Mr. Charles Kahistrom, we find him to have been ‘a hard-working, faithful public servant, who has voluntarily exiled himself.to. a waste of waters for the public good, and for'a misera- bié pittance. If he had proved one-half as lazy'as the majority of the city’s serv- ants who fatten at the public crib, avy cold - winter night be might have plunged the whole City of Chicago into direful confusion and extreme distress by cutting off the water supply. No one ‘can tell the suffering he. could have entailed upon this community Had he not kept his ‘eagle eye upoti the well and prevented the accumulation of ice in it which would have choked up the great con- duits leading to ‘the shoré. -But.he was not that kind of a man, Any night had he failed to kindle ‘his warning light some ship or steamer might have run into his home and gone to thie bottom in ‘consequence. But he was not that kind of.a man either. Ue has always ‘been- vigilant and alert in the dis- charge of his duties. He -has always real- ized his responsibilities, ana, been zealous ir meeting them. The city has always had its supply of water. His beacon-light has never failed to blaze out upon the lake, showing the incoming mariner that the Man on the Crib was at his post:. In the wild storms of spring and fall that have pounded’ against bis home, .amid the furious waves that- have sought to overwhelm him, in the freez- ing blasts of winter that have shrouded his. habitation with ice; he has never failed day or night to perform his duties, regardless of personal suffering or inconvenience. He had bécome ‘as storm-proof and hard and tough as the Crib itself, and-the whole city, whose faté reposed in his hands, never once ques- tioned its securlty, never once dreamed that he might get washed overboard or become’ sick, 'People'came to rely upon him aé they. did upon Old Probabilities.. There were very few persons who were notoverwhelmed with surprise when they leafned: that Old Proba- vilities was dead, for they had come to look upon him as one-of the country’s institutions, or one of the foundation principles of repub- licanism which are supposed to last forever, ‘an idea, a plan, a system, rather than a child of mortality. V¢ry much the same im- pression nas ‘obtained as to.the Man at the Crib. | Most péople have ‘classed him in the same category‘with our Carter’s eagle, the canal improvements, the Sewerage Fund, the system.of public education, the building. of the City-Hall, and-other things that go on forever. But now he suddenly turns up as an entity instead ofanabstractidea,—a man with. human needs, who must:-havé bread and bat- ter, and cannot live upon airand water alone, which are about the only advantages that he ean enjoy atthe Crib. {t appears that this faithful man has ‘been: working for only. $1,000 per annum, while plenty of able-bod- ied barnacles are standmg round the City- Hall and: getting twice and three times that amount for-not doing so. much hard work in 2 month as he did ina day. He modestly asked for an increase of $500 per annum, whereupon he is notified he can quit, and the ‘best Mayor Chicago has ever had is en- gaged in the picayunish business of trymg to find some one who will fill his place at. the present salary. " It is fo be presumed ke will find some difi-. culty in filling the place With a good and competent man. It isnot a very’ desirable location for any oné who feels the’ ties of sympathy connecting him with his fellow- | béings, or who likes to have some.oné to speak to now and then. The Man at the Crib has air, but almost always too mach of it.. He has plerity of water, but no beer near by, and water.is the last thing’ in the.world any of Carter Harrigon’s constituents want, even by the glassful, much-less by the lake - full.’ He has &: honse, but its basement is -full-of water, atid he can never make an affidavit at night that it will be there in the morning. 1f He Wants .td.sublet, he can’t do iti-Hé-has: no sawerage, no-gas, no side PAGES. ‘| premises, n0 doctor for ‘a. ice to watch his: lzbbor to whom he ean send in the night when bis wife or ‘children are sick. He cannot R20 to the theatre’ or opera or down-town to see the poys. He is compelled’ to be at Home all the time and nobody. with him to keép him com- pany. If his house gets afire there is no steamer to put it out. if he isa religious man he can’t go to church; if he is an irre- ligious man he can’t go toa beer-garden. The only thing he can do is what he don’t-want todo: He has the wretched consolation ot sitting in his doorway and looking ata great city of more than -half a million of people enjoying themselves, while he vegetates like a -toad in a stone, so faras entertainment, social’ life, and. human, sympathy are concerned. If he should be a vin- dictive . misanthrope . he . might enjoy himself by. making fis half # million neighbors suffer, but apparently he bas rio other source of amusement, It isa bleak, barren ‘existence, full of solitary hard work and uncongental responsibilities. It is prob- able that Carter Harrison may find vagrants and bummers who will agree to go there for $1,000 per annum, but they are not the. kind of.men the ‘people of Chicagg want: there. Men who will agree-to isolate themselves from their kind and do the hardest kind of work for $20 per week are not so plenty that they can be picked up on every corner. * Our Carter might get a realizing sense of the un- desirability of the situation if he would take nis eagle’ and go out there for a week this winter, when “the stormy winds do blow,” and:‘keep the ice out of the well, though it insight be a calamity to Chica g “ASTRONOMICAL, Chicago (Trrsonz olfice), north latitude 41 deg. 62m. 578.3 west longitude 42m. 18s. from.

Itis an ab- surd and ridiculous charge. If it were true, St. Louis would be no better off than now. How would the count stand with 50,000 names knocked off the Chicago count?
