Vernon News, which, in the absence of goort wrguments to support the present system, re- sorts to very lively expression of |ts preju- dices and feelings. It’ admits that the in- creased facilities of rallrond travel make it ay convenient for the majority of the people in the Northern and Southorn Divisions to * go to Springfleld as to Ottawa or,Mt. Vernon, ‘but contends that the cost of maintaining attorneys at the Capital Is excessive, and that “the Supremo Court is tuo decant a body to be compelled to take up a parmanent abode ina town like Springfield.” Without refor- ence to the merits of Springfield as a place for getting rid of elegant leisure, it ought to bo goodenough tawork in, It offers fewer distractions from labor for a city of its size than any other town on the continent, Be- aides Springtteld has some claims to the Su- preme Court which neither Ottawa nor Mt. ‘Vernon possesses, It happens to be cen- ipally located, is the Capital of the ‘State, and hos sultable apartments Yor the Court already perpared ut the expense ‘of tho State, with a Inw ibrary attached, “The question fs really not where the Court Bhall be located, but whetuer the three divis- Yons shall be mnds into one. When the Leg- 4alature can bring its mind to bear on this branch of the subject, aud can decide It af tixmativoly, vory little time will be wasted In ixing the placo for the meeting of the Court. Tumovan some Inadyertence on the part of the Commissioners appolnted to negotiate, the new treaty with China, the clause of the Burlingame Treaty which reserved the right ‘to deny naturalization to Chinese in America was not retained. By the new treaty, the Chinese aro conceded “all tho rights, privileges, fmniunities, and exemptions which ara accorded to the citizens and sub- Yects of the wost favored - nations” In practice the privilege would be of Jittle mo- ment. The. Chineso have not ovinced an , eager desire to avall themselves of the rights of citizenship. One of the usual arguments agalust them has been that they never sought to be naturalized, and showed no sympathy with our lows, institutions, or customs, ‘The Democratic newspapers in San Francisco, however, profess to be greatly alarmed by the prospect of the wholesale naturaliza- tion of the Chineso, and assume that it they become citizens they will yote with . the Republican party, As the United States Courts have decided that the Chinese, with- wut reference to treaties, stand on preelsely the aame plano under the Constitution with reference to naturalization as other iminl- xranta, It is dificult to see what all the Dem- ocratioc hullaballoo {3 about. ‘The Republie- wns.of California haye certainly never been, necnsed of undue affection for the Chinese, . apd they exhibit no alarm over the present ’ prospect, ‘There aro about 75,000 Chinese In California and 30,000 fu. San Francisco, and the proportion of inales of voting ageamong -., thein Ia very large. But there is no evidence 7 Hs yet elthor that they desire to yote or that upy party woukt be willing to assume the pant of forming a political alllance with ~ hem, - ; Tur, Philadelphia Limes, commenting upon efforts making In Chicago to prohibit the * wale of oleowaryarine and othor yilo decog- ttons as food, says; Icwould not be in tho natura of Chicago * on- terprise’ Practically tororeyouuch casy tuethods of coriching its vast speoulative clements.

Nearly all tho: fearful stuf put up In tho shape of cheese nid sold as cheese, whieh was so fully described in THe Trin- UNE some weeks ago, has been generally made for the Philadelphia market, where It wasianiniysent, Had the manufacturers not attempted to put some on the Chicago mar- ket tho fraud aud outrage might not have been known or exposed here, “What they do with ttin Philadelphia wo do not know.

No party Issue was inyolved simply becauso Mr, Beck is a Democrat and Mr, Blaine a Republican, ‘The Demoernts have done nothing during the several years they havo controlled the Na- tlonal legisiation to inspire popular conf. dence In ‘thelr party ery of “Free Ships,” ‘They are divided by selfish and scetional in- terests upon this as upon most issues. Nor was it fair in Mr, Beek to assume that Mr, Blaine spoke ng the coming Preniler of the next Acininistration. ‘There is as yet no authority for aunouncing Mr. Bintne's neces- slon to that position, and certainly none for imputing to him any purpose to shape the affairs of Gen. Garficld’s Administration to suit his own present constituents in utter disregard of the yast interests outside that community,: Mr. Blaine spoke as Senator from ‘Maine, He Is now In .a_ position where any other “utterances would be coustrued ag 9 betrayal of the polit- Teal trust reposed in him, and would probably have called out an emphatic ex- pression of resontment from those who sent him to tho Senate. Ife will be constrained by other considerations if he enter Gen, Gar- fleld’s Cabinet. Me will ‘thon assume a new and broader responstbility, and* will not fall to appreciate the change In his relation to tho general public. No tnan whp looks beyond the short-sighted vision of the shipbuilders of Maine and the Delaware River, or who gocs outside the con- tracted clrele of protected manufacturers which belleves that its own interests are bound up in every phase of the taritf laws, can reasonably deny that the’ American navi- gation Jaws are barbarous in. their primi- tiveness and oppressive in thelr operation, ‘Lhe polloy Is to tax all the material that en- ters Into the construction and repair of shina, running up nearly to'100 pér cent on parts thereof, and then to prohibit the purchase and sailing under the American flag of ships that nro built elsewhere, ‘The logic of,such npolley points to the destruction of Amerl- enn commerce on the high seas, and tho netunl result has demonstrated the . cor reetness of that theory, It is im- possible for the Americans to compete with other peoples for tho carrying trade of the World upon such terms, While other nations buy elther material or ships where they can purclinse cheapest, without. prohibition or special tax, thoy aro and must always be inn Positton to control the carrymg trade, to the exclusion of a commercial people who Imn- pose upon themselves a forfeiture of equal privileges. Mt; Binine, speaking for tho shipbullders, of Maine and Ponnsylvanin, suggests thelr staple remedy,—Government subsidy. If such a remedy were practicable or desirable, it would be nothing more nor Jess than a now form of taxation assessed upon the producers of the country to make good the disadvantages incident to the navi- gation Inws. Tha subsidized stiipowners would not charge less than the shipowners of other countries, and hence would xive no compensation for the specittl tux levied for thelr benefit, If tha Eugiish shipowner would pay tho American produeer $1 ‘a bushel for his wheat In this country, the American ship- owner would only pay the same; but the Int- fer would levy a drawback upon the pro- ducer to the extent of, sny, flve cents a bushel in tho shape of subsidy, and the producer would lose 5 por cent by patronizing the sub- sldized American shipowner. An Amerl- can commercial marine can never be success- fully nor profitably bullt upon any such In- equitable terms, Besties, subsidy means scandal in thiscountry, “Tits tas been the result whenever it has been tried.

Why should American resources, which can feed the world, be placed nt the morey of foreign carrlors? Why should tho agricultural massed contribute sub- sidies to the maintenance of Anorlean commerce in ordér to continue unreasonable and unprofitable navigation laws? Thess are the questions involved ina discussion of the prevailing Amerlean polley toward the ocean commerce, ‘They can all be rumoved by extending to Arnerlean capital and American enterprise the civilized privi- leya of buylng ships anywhere, ag In the caso of nll other’ commodities, .

Atarecent meeting of the County Board of this county, Conunissloner Senue submit. ted.asorles of resolutions upon: the subject of tho number of insane persons in tho County Asylum, and calling the attention of tho Legislature to the matter, The custody and support of the Insane hus always been a heavy charge upon this county, and that elass of persons have been treated hore as part of the pauper population, and have been kept in tho olins-house. ‘hat building has, however, never been a proper. asylum, it wanting In many of thoessentlnls of a proper homo for that class of persons. The State has now four hospitals for the Insane, to which cach connty is authorized to sond such number of paupér patients as may bo apportioned = to «oft «Many, If not a majority, of the connties of the State liavo no local provision for the custody or main- tenance of the Susane, and when thelr quotas tothe State Institutions ara filled such ad- dition nl insane persons as may be resident in sich counties are removed, from necessity, tosuch other comnticans have local pro- vision, ‘The result 1s that the surplng popu- Jatlon of; the insane of other parts of the State aro sent here to Chicago ta be taken enre of by this county, In addition to this, Insane puupers from Michignn, Wisconsin, and Indiana also fnd thelr way to Chicago, and become 6 chargeon thiscounty, ‘The liborat provision imdy by this State for the care of the Insnne has naturally hod the effect to draw to Titinols from othor States where such provision is insuMcient a large population of pauper insane, The appropri- ation two years ago forn uew hospital at Kankakeo has unquestionably drawn to Il- Inols from beyond her Nuits an insane pop- ulation In oxcess of the capacity of that {n- stitution, ‘Chese unfortunntes are all thrown upon the charity of our people, ‘Tho trouble te aggravated in this county by tho necessity for ather charities, by largo legal and Judicint expenses, and by tho gov- ernment of « larga county whose current ex- penditures‘ are even greater than those of the Stata Government. ‘The rate of taxation for ordinary exponses ts linited to 7g intlls on the valuation for taxable purposes, Our of the revenue derived from this tux tho county hus te provide for interest on all the debt contracted alnea 1870, and also for all the public churities and exponditures of tho county, ‘Chis revenue fs no longer sufliclent: to enablo tho county properly'to take care of the great number of Insane persons In tho county asylum, and honce the following reso- lutions of the County Bourd; - Wukneas, It {sa woll-known fact that p pors of all conditiogs in fife, such ae alc, Sand, and disablod porsons, male and female, constantly being trausported to tho City of Chis cao by tho authoritics from outaide countics in this Btato, as well as other States nf the Union, to such an oxtent that not only tho County Hoss pital, tho Pour House, and County Agent's of- co Are Overrun with applications for rolief, but ‘the quota of Cook County in the insang asyluma if the State is overrun, and the Cook County insane Asylum full to its utmoat capuolt; f Wurngas, Tho ait imate increase of othor lo; "35 XTEEN PAGE county businces is toxuch an extent that tho neeessury approprintions for charitable pur- poses cannot bo mude out of the tax levy for general county purposes sullciont to meet) the: Inerensed demand for charity; Wuenrasy It tsa general betfet that the Stato, should at lonst provide ample institutions for tho support of alt the infortunate insane In this Btnte nt tho expense of tho Bate, Resolved, That w epectal committee be appoint= eal by the Chairman of thts Board to confer with the inembers of tha Gener Assembly of tho Btato, now tn aosaton at Speingticld, Cor the pure Osa of making the Insane Asylum of Cook Jounty State institution, | Reavived, That tho Clerk of" this Noard bo dl+ rected to send a certified copy of tho foregoing: eantle aud resolutions to the President of tho ennte and tho Spenker of tha House of Repro: sentatives, nnd to every member of the General Assembly from Cook County, with a request tha!

Tho cost of tho bullding and of the maintenance being pluced in the gen- eral expenses of the State, it will be found that tha proportion of necessary revenue fur- nishea by this county will cover that of the new and extra hospital, The present condl- tlon of theso unfortunate inmates of tho County Asylum appeals to every friend of humanity, and ought not to be neglected, COLOSSAL PROJECTS OF THE PRESENT TIME, It seems to be tho object and determination of the present age to set on foot gigniitic enterprises and undertakings by which to Inerense and perfect the system of tho world’s commerce to such an extent that coming gencrations will find but Mttle to do {n that direction, Among them must be counted the submarine telegraphs, tho suc- cessful plereimg of the Alps for rallrond pur- poses, the Paelfle Inllroads, the great lines of steamships for transportation of passen- gors and freight, and above all the construc- tion of the Suez Canal, and last, but not least, the tremendous ralirond network all over America ad well ay over Europe. Sineo the unhappy effects and consequences of the year 1873 have gradunlly died away, innu- merable plans and projects for gigantic mensures to Inorense the facllittes for tho conunercint intercourse of the world have made thelr appearance, and ‘many of thom have been partly executed already, while others will soon be taken in hand, Prominent among the Intter ‘are the con- struction of tho Panama and Nicaragua Canals, and the project of Capt. Ends to build railroad teross the Isthmus of Tehuan- tepse, In Mexico, on which he proposes to earry shipsof any and all sizes from ocean toocean., Inconnection with these projects stands tho construction of a completo rall- road net all over Mexico by American’ enpl- talists, and the finishing of the Southern, Northern, and Canadian Pacific Railroads, ‘Tho laying of 5 submarine cable from San Francisco to Japan and China will be tho logical consequence of the construction of nll of theso Paelfic roads, .
