LADS, WASHINGTON CHAPTER—Calico Party, Parker Hall, corner Halsted and Madison-sts., Tues- day evening, April %. SUNDAY, APRIL 3, 1S8L THE week which hs just closed has been ane of the most remarkable in a musical way that Chicago has ever known. Oue theatre has been filled every night to witness one of the lightest of operas,and another theatre has been filled equally well to witness some of the heaviest, and, it may be added, some of the best performances that have ever been given here. There have also been concerts every night, and, on one night, be- sides the twa operas, concerts were given by the Bach and Ilandel Society, the Mendels- sohn Quintet Club, stopping here on its way to California, the Beethoven Soclety, and by AMr. Liebling, every one of which was well attended. On that evening probably 8,000 people were listening to music, and this in Lent, when people are sudposed. to discard the pleasures of the world! Who shall say that we are not music-mad? Surely, when the monarehs of Europe get out of business Louis of Bavaria will not hesitate where to' cowe. Tne reputable people of Chicago are deter- mined never to forgive Mayor Harrison for his high-handed course At the {ime of the Na- tionai election of ixst fall. 1lis agreement to codperate with the Umited States Marshal and the Sheriff of Cook County in the pres- ervation of the peace on the day of election and his subsequent treacherous retraction of- that agreement was regarded as evidence of a purpose to abuse his power as Mayor. Thousands of nrominent citizens, without regard to pa -, - ~uiiliations, registered a high resolve never again to aid Mr. Iarrison’s rmbition. Thereis now an opportunity for those honorable citizens to give etizct to their deliberately formed purposé. Mr. Harrison seeks to be continued in the office he then disgraced. He asks the suffrages of the citi- zens he then insulted and threatened to and his demand is echoed by all the vicious classes of the community. Does the fact that he issupported by all the gamblers and all the proprietors of the saloon-brothels he has your favor? Jonrx M. CLAEK, if elected, will at least try honestly and fearlesly to close the den of Seymour, and all others like it, and see to it that they are not relicensed. Suppose Harrison’s appeal for vindication succeeds and he shall be reélected on this distinet issue of wiliful and intentional non- enforcement of the ordinances against pub- <lic indeceney and immorality, what will be the consequence ?- In yhat light will Chicazo have placed herself before the Nation ana the world? What effeet will such a policy, deliberately adopted .by -the vote of her ci zens, have upon her reputation and standing and future prosperity 2 What class of peo- ple and famflies will the adoption of the policy of non-enforcement of the laws against erime and public indeceucy attract " nere to live and do business? What will the reputation of Chicago be when her people sirall defiberately vote to make this cily a second Sodom and Gomorrah, for that is exactly what 2 vote of immunity to crim and beastliness will mean ? 4 What is the use of malti ving pelicemen, break up cerime : Ilarrison deelares that all he asks is'to have his. policy. .vindicated; that_he. has already enjoyed all the honors; that his private busi- ness reauires his personal care, and that his vrivate interests are sacrificed by devoting his time to the non-enforcement of the laws. Why, then, does he persist in seeking the of- fice twwo years longer? The answer he gives is, to earry out hid policy of ‘making Chicago a free city for crime and - eriminals, which policy hé asks to have indorsed by the voters of Chicago on*Tnesday next, that it shall be the law unto all tuture Mayors. their barbors and their schools of TAE Mayor’s advice to his Irish friends in the Democratic Convention at the Palmer House, to solicit bribes and then vote the Democratic ricket, was not haphazard or ac- cidental. Ie repeated it in his Twenty-sec- ond street speech Monday night; and it was precisely the advice he gave, as he has taken pains 10 say, in the spring campaign of 1879, The following circular- was then issued by the Democratic Campaign Committee, and approved, it not suggested, by Mr. Harrison, as appears from an interview with a reporter held on the same day, and printed in THE TrIBUNE March 27, 1879: & To the Voters.of the City of Chicago—~GESTLE- MEN: The Republicans have raised a largo cor- ruption fund in order to purchase your votes, nod are now engaged in distributing large sums of money In the different wards for their vile pur- poses. ‘This money {s your money, wrung from you by Republicau officials. They openly pro- tlafm that your votes ave for sale, and the only wity to repel this insult is to take the moncy and Tote ax you please. By order .of the Democratic Cawpaign Committee. H. F. MERRITT, Sceretary. Observe the word *gentlemen,” and the | bold slander which followed it. The Mayor had no evidence then, and has none now, that his charge was true, or that the Republicans were using, or would use, money for improper purposes. Itis much more likely that he was diverting suspicion from himself by rais- ing the cry of “Stopethief.” A TRIDUNE re- porter the saie day interviewed Mayor Har- rison with'the following result: “Why." snid be, * [ made a good speech last night. "It took well, too. It wns in the Seven- teenth Ward. Ttold my Irish fricnds to take all the money they could get, cail out *keno,' and vote the DemoBratic ticket, ana they will do it.” “You tried to carry the iden tbat you did not intend to spend any money. I fuppose? " *Yes: ] don't intend to spend money, but will leave that for the Republicans. We are after you, and the Uoys are already calling out ‘keno* on the streets.”” g “Your speegh I8 your advice?” 5 “Itis; they will take your money, and then vote for me.” The Mayoroffered this advice to his “Irish {friends,” as if he supposed they were partic- ularly capable of bribery, treachery, and fraud.’ 'That is the kind of an opinion he las of the Irish. It was bad of him to offer such advice when he was a private citizen seeking the Mayor's office for the first time, but it was undignified and scandalous for him to repeat it when he was actually Mayor and geeking a reélection. § Mavor HaRrisoN’s celebrated letter to 2Miles Kehoe, dated Washington, Jan. 9,187, contained several items of news which were important, if true. Onpg was that Carter him- self had a good chance to be United States Senator, if Miles would ouly help him; another was, that Miles was sure to go to Congress with Mr. -Harrison’s aid; a third was that Tilden would be inaugurated Presi- dent in place of Hayes. .Mr. Harrison ad- mitted incidentally that it cost & gnod deal of money to get elceted to Congress in Chicago, as he knew from experience; said that Tilden could not bring in *“ the good -times” which the Democrats had promised, and declared his intention to come home with his pockets stuffed full of West Side Federal appoint: ments. The letter will repay a perusal il ples the present Mayor' of Chicago has, and how exalted his political ambition is: ‘WasHINGTOZ, D. C.. Jan. 9. 1677.—The Hon. Miles Kehne—DEAR Sir: I was a_feyy moments since readmg a squib on John A, Login and his Senatorial canvass. This put into my head some modest (?) suggestions, which I procead to give Fou: 1. Tilden wilt e our net Presidént. Of that T have na doubt, thanks to the big meetings and bold urterances now going on. 2. With a Democratic President, the Second Congressional District of Ilinois ‘can_be held %)rn\;cr. Iam now in; suppose you come in. oW, : ; 3. Manage to have me forthe dark horse, and send me ta the Senate, provided, always, that you are nut yourself a candidate. ' Haines voted forme; and If he finds he connot come to the Senate himself, T do not think he would object 10 me so much ns he would to most Democrats. 4. What would huppen If should be.the dark 'up and trot in? Why? 5. 1 would %o home in March after Tilden gnts In, with batch of appointments for the West Side, have vou nominated and send you in with- out any 10ss to you. Immediately after Tilden's inauguration there will be an immenso furor for him, and tho race in the Second -District will De & walk-awny to you. The present officehold- ers would generally not be out, and all would vote and work for you in tho hope of retention, 60 that you would be able tomake a canvass without the expense ordinarily attending elec- tions In Chicago, and once in you can be the best of ktauing men. - But two years hence Tilden will not stand so high: it is utterly impossible for him to bring the gnod times which all hope for; and, if you run as an “out,” you will have a narder road to trm'E'l tnan now, or than you will then have as an “in.” 0. Therefore, and finally, send me to the Sen- ate. and L WILL send you to the Lower House, sure pop. Mum! Your friend, ete. CARTER H. HARRISON. Frov the day he was inaugurated until now Ilarrison has used all the powers of the Mayor’s office to promote his own per- sonal interests under pretense of aiding the Democratic party. Ile has tried, as he said he would in a speech previously quoted in these columns, to ‘“kill the Republican party ” by fair means and foul. With this object in view he ‘eirculated the forged Chinese Morey letter, issned secret orders to Demoeratic judges of electlon, appointed 800 ‘“special poiiceamen " picked out of the slums of the city to intimidate respectable citizens, and attempted to hold a midnight election in this peaceful City of Chicago. He is either the most foolish or the most reckless and desperate politician the eity has ever known in a responsible ofice; and he is the Iast person to whom the veace and good order of the community should be intrusted. The Democrats have no reason to be grateful to him, because The has wrecked and ruined theicparty in this city and county, having sowed dissensions in it, driven out many leading Irisimen and Germans, and left it in a minority of' 10,000 b -his incendiary conduct. The Republicans huve justas much reason, and no more, to distrust him and cherish old resentments against him, for he attempted to deprive them of their rights as citizens and freemen. Jir. Larrison say's now, *The Mayor’s office should be run on business principles,” but this is what ne said in his inaugural address to the Common Council, April 23, 1t Gentlemen, in sending to you names tor con- firmation for positions. 1 sball be guided first andabove all by the interests of true Democracy. . And this is what lie said in a speech to his Democratic friends ‘of the Fourth Ward, June 2§, 1879: . The Repuplieans have had all the machiners in the pust. Now the machinery is on the Dem - ocratic side—in this city—and I don't intend it shall be used aainst [with emphasis] that party. We have got the machinery now and they can't cheat us. T¥e hare the police, and they will “acatch™ with us fromb this time forth. And this is the circular hq caused to be sent to all the rity employés Sept. 4, 1879, at. the opening of the fall campaign of that year, ‘which resulted in th election of Johnson as County Treasurer: T ity Employes: It 'is the desire of the Mayor that you exert yourseif in your locality in the nterest of the Jemocratic parzy, not for the nomination of any particular candidate, but to secure the election of those nominated, ' The party’s success next fuil will bo his triumph over hfs enemies, and {t will raise him in the or of maintaining any police, if they are not | to be permitted to arrest lawbreakers and | estimation’of his enemies and the people of the whole State. He expects the same hearty sup- full« It shows what exceedingly. fine prinei-.| port from you next fail that you gave him lnst full. Speak to those in your locality to do their duty. Keep this strictly private, A 1lis revolutionary conduct last fail is fresh inrthe minds of all men; The Mayor:is a reckless, unscrupulous partisan, If he should be regleeted it vould be almost impossible to prevent the Republican’ Legislature from stripping him of -the dangerous power over the police which he now possesses. The po- lice have “watehed” with him long enough.’ In the opinion of many “Republicans” even the Board system, irresponsible and vjclous as it is in many- respects, would be better than a partisan police force -under the direc- tion of an excitable and indiscreet Democrat- ie Mayor. S TuE Mayor’s policy with reference to the gamblers is not hasty or insufficiently con- sidered. It was annqunced as sooir ashe was elected, and has. been stuck to ever since. It comsists of three principles: (1) that gambling eannot be stopped; (2) that it is lawful for the Mayor to regulgte and li- cense his pets and favorits; (3) that small mambling-houses and all West Side or Twen- ty-second strcet gamblers, or those whom the Mayor mnaively deseribes as “outside,” must be driven out of business. May 10, 187, having been only two weeks in office, Mayor Ilarrison called be- fore him various police officers and stated to them his policy, and gave them an idea of the course they should pursue. IHe said, as ofticially reported in the daily press by one " of his assistants, that **it was impossible to stop gambling, but 1t should not be carried on ovenly.” This t‘ech\mtiou printed in the Chicago papers was carried to all parts of the country, Every gambler who was in the city cut itout and sent it to his chums; and in a short time a swarm of the brethren of the green cloth was rushing tothe city. The old houses began running openly and new ones were started every day. Tmr Cmx- ©€AGO TrIBUNE. .Of J| p;})‘ 20, 1879, printed & list of twenty-tliree gambline‘houses in the city, and directed the Mayor's attention to them, but hie has not interfered - with them from that day to this. Tur TRIBUNE of Jan. 6, 1880, printed the following interview with the Mayor, which has not been denied or contradicted: 1 dlrected the vallce to break up all ‘out- side’ gambling-houses: some time ago. Gam- bling can't be stopped eatirely, If you break up the gamblinzdhouses mefi-‘wm go into the hotels, as they did formerly. But Ihave come to the conclusion that thesésmall estublishments * aut- side” are merely places to rope in mechanicsand poorer persons, and that they should be broken up at all bazards. If gentlemen have the means to gamble they will ind the opoortunity.” These are almost the exact words used by him in the Palmer-House speech yesterday week. It will be seen that his views have been deliberately formed and tenaciously nd- hered to. May, 18, 1880, the Mayor, being again interviewed, srid : +1 came to the conclufion that no more gam- bling_establishments should be started in the city if T could belpit. I gave notice to this ef- fect two or three months ago,—and [ ulso gave notice to oneor two *outside’ places onthe West Side and up-town on the South Side that they must not take out mew licenses,—that I could not let them run.” "\'gu ‘propose to countenance square gambling, en? '’ “When I was elected Mayor 1 didn't under- stand that the people expected me to be 3 mis- sionary or a vreagher. I suppnsed it was my business to protect the city, and leave reforma- tlon to the pulpit, the Iyccum, the fireside. If men nre fools enough to go into gambling- houses and play I cannot protectthem, 1 would advise the newspapers to publish ediforials for their edification. Probably that would reform them. Idon't kno¥ how to'do it.” See what an opportunity this gives the May- or tareward his friends.and punish his ene- mies! e can let a man like Mike -McDon- ald, who swears he is worth $400,000, and is- the most influential ward politician in the party, ran wide open, while he can shut down any Democratic gambler who opposes him, on the plea that he is too *“*small,” and is ‘“dutslde,” whatever that may mean. He virtually gives his favorit gamblers a mo- nopoly of the business, and grants them ex- clusive licenses, contrary to law. THE NON-ENFORCEMENT ISSUE Mr. Harrison has presented to thé people of Chicagoastrange issue tobe determined by their votes, and that is, the approval or non- approvalof his policy of the non-enforcement of the ordinances against crime and immoral- ity. He Ixn§nu blicly justified this non-enforce- ment polic§ on the ground that he does not bes lieve they can be enforced, and he asks a re- election that he may be vindicated in his non- action. We guestion whether a public ofticer, especially the Mayor of a city, has ever a pealed to the people to reélect him because be had refused even to attempt to execute. the laws ngainst public indecency and con- fessed and notorious erime. The crimes and offenses which he refuses to suppress or try tosuppressarenot technical offenses concerning which there is any possi- ble difference of opinion, of which havea pal- liatinz feature. They are offenses of a charac- ter against which common humanity revolts, They are twofold. (1) The licensing of es- tablishments kept by notorious criminals as the resorts for thieves, and in which are hatched or committed robberies and all forms of violence; which are the resorts of women who, in addition to the absence of shame, are also experts in all other forms of ¢rime, and are the companions and accomplices of the male robbers and thieves who infest these dens. (2) The licensing of these - establish- ments to the persons we have deseribed, for the purposes we have stated, and for the ad- ditional purpose of kidnaping, tempting, and by force carrying from their homes girl chil- dren from 11 to 15 years of age, and keeping them in these establishments for prostitution, and fer practices too beastlyto.be mentioned;- teaching these children to drink and to rob the 1{&11 and boys whom they have inveigled into these dens. , ; Outside of the City of Chicago, there is not in the civilized world an establishment licensed by the Mayor for the capture and purchase of girl children and their forcible reduction to prostitution, nor their public parade by day and by night to induce men and boys to drink, be drugged and robbed. And what is more shameful than all other things is the fact that the only Mayor of a civilized community that grants such licenses for such a purpose to such persons attaches to his name the official title, “* Mayor _of Chicago.” This man, thus giving Infamy to this city, asks the people of Chicago to * vindicate ” this official sanction and license to this most degraded traffic by reélecting ninf'to office. Mayor Harrison insists that the city shall be governed without laws,—that is, that the laws against gambling and child-prostitution shall not be enforced. - To his pious aspira- tion, *“Would to God I could,” he should have added the sentiment difectly sug- gested by his action, ** Thank God, Lhaven’t tried.” The laws of the city to preserve public decency have been disregarded and abrogated by the Mayor that he may swell the ranks of the eriminal classes by extend- ing to them full dicense to practice vice in its most hideous and detestable forms. How does Mr. Harrison know he cannot enforce the city laws pgainst public inde- cency and blacklez robbers? He has never. tried. There has never beech n day since Chicago had a government in which the pub- lic authority has not been able to close up the public gaming-houses. and suppress every saloon and other establishment where men and’ women. boys and girls were pubhic- 1y congregated for eriminal, immoral, and indecent practices. ~ No other Mayor of Chi- cago ever directed the police not to close up such establishments, and the only reason why the ordinances bave aohbeeu enforced | calculated to bring a blush upon the checks ‘are Senators loitering in Washington to "known variously as Ilyde Park, South Chi- is the Mayor’s order prohibiting police inter- H ference, and the Mayor’s refusal to revoke the licenses granted by him to such places. 1f he ¢ould not Itave perfectly enforced the laws, he could have done it, as all his pre- decessors except Colvin did, to the extent of stopping_ their: shameless publicity. Iis police could haye closed every establishment in the city where, under the Mayor’s license, a combination of bar, brothel, and thieves’ den stood wide ‘open by day and by night, filled fargely by boys and girls openly and publicly engaged in the grossest finmoral- ities. ‘Several hundred of these dens are now and havebeen running during Harrison’s term in full blast, and cach of them displays conspicuously beforep the eyes of inmates and visitors a license and légal protection against police interference signed *Carter II. Har- rison, Mayor of Chicago.” All the Mayor. had to do was- to unlicense them, and the police would have kept them closed. The, police are not responsible for the existing disgraceful state of things: they have re- ported every one of these sliameless resorts, have pointed them out as harbors for thieves, have reported them thit the licenses might be revoked, but Mayor Harrison has refused. And why? Is it because they are his parti- san backers, .and that he prefers their in- dorsement to that of decent and reputable citizens who favor. the enforcement of the ordinances? Well, he has made his choice of friends and subperters. SENATORIAL JAWING-MATCHES. The. United States Seuate, speaking with- out prejudice, presents a spectacle that is as disgusting as it Is disgraceful, and one that is or people who are decent, and to rouso the indignation of those who have aregard for dignity. The object of the present session seems to be not to. attend to the only busi- ness which the Senate can legally perform, but to crush out Senator Mahone, of Vir- ginia, beeause he has dared to act upon his honest convictions' of right. These Bour- Dons, representing States full ot repudiation, have fullen, tooth nnd nall, upon a more hon- est debtpayer than they themselves. Like the policemen in “The Pirates of Penzance,” they profess that they are going, but they don’t go. They are going to pay the debts, but they take no steps o pay even the inter- est. Whether Senntor Mahone is strictly correct in his position or nat; it is not an issue which the Senate is competent to discuss. It has no ‘more jurisdiction over it than it has over "the ay- oralty election in Chicago. And yet his position in the local politics of Virginia is flung in his faceand wrangled over in heated harangues day after day for purposes of in- thnidation by bulldozing Bourbons whose States are corrupt to the core with willful re- pudiation, To visit their vengeance upon him, they are'ripping utp old and dead issues, reviving questions long ago settled, berating each other like angry shrews, and occupying time that should be devoted to public busi- ness in personal jawing-matches. The responsibility for this rests‘with the fire-cat- inz Bourbons. It was. commenced by 1ill, of Georgia, and bas .been followed up by Lamar, Butler, Voorhees, and George, and gradually the whole.pack have fallen upon Senator Mahone, and every Republican hag come to his assistance. Such a disgraceful spectacle as this is cal- culated to disgust every deeent Democrat and drive him out of the party. It is an- other instance of the old Southern bully- ing and plantation manners. No one in the North wanted thesé old issues revived in the interim between the two Congresses. Why argue such stuff? ¢Why .do they not finish up their confirmations and go home? While they sit there quarreling and' wrangling with each other like so many fishwives, the busi- ness of the country waits. The Supreme Court is without a quorum and can decide nothing. Why do they not act upon Stanley Matthews’ nomination and confirm or reject him? The nomination is an unfit one, but it is none the less their duty to act upon it. The only legitimate business’ which this Senate can perform is to det upon the nominations sent to it. It - can’t pass bills, make laws, originate issues, nor beat out old straw. It has but’ one wission it ‘can perform, and yet these Bour- bons are taking up the time day after day in these disgusting personal controversies with as much coolness and impudence as if they had carried the elections, and. the people of the country expected them to rake up their old dead issues and bulldoze every one who opposed them. The people of the country are getting tired of these jawing-matches, which have neither wit, sense, nor dignity inthem. There was a time in the United States Senate when controversies were car- ried on with'some dignity, and they inspired some respect, but they were controversies be- tween giants. These latter-day brawls have no aspect that is not disgusting, and the sooner they are stopped and the ‘participants attend to their proper business, finish it up, and go home, the sooner will the country be satistied, THE REW CHICAGO. 1t has been the practice during the past few years to referto the reconstructed “burnt dis- triet ” of this city as * New Chicago.” Butthe time has come when that term should have a broader significance and convey a larger idea. 1t is nearly ten years since the fire of 1871, and that period is too long to admit of a designation as ‘*new ” in so progressive a community as ours.. The New Chicago is located south of the present city limits. Itis cago, Calumet, Pullman, Grand Crossing, Kensington, and by a,dozen other names which denotecertain poftions of the territory in question.. The wholetractof land between the city limits on -the south and the State of Indiana is really.an extension of Chigago, and the growth in.population and manu- facturing in that district within the next ten years will be the great marvel of the census 0f 18%0. By that time the municipal bound- aries will probably be extended to One Hun- dred and Thirty-eighth street, thus annexinz a legitimate increase of 100,000 people, which may be safely estimated as the growth of the New Chicago during the current decade, and including the mbst importantand srosperous industrial interests on the continent. The New Chicago we speak:of is deseribed as fol- lows iu the late report of the Hyde Park Trustees: - « Hyde Park,” in the' ininds of a great major- ity of people who henr the name, meuns simply apretiy suburban settlement on'tho shores of Lake Michigan, somewhere soutk of Chicago. Hyde Park, in fact, is &' municipal corporation, extending from the ‘Chicago City limits at Thir- ty-ninth street south nearly thirteen miles to Ono Hundred and Thirty-eighth street. -and from State strect east to the lake and the In- diana State line, with n'urylnf width of from one and a haif to five mile3. Instead of being a single suburbnn bamlet, Arde Park contains nearly twenty distinct settlemegts or villnges, with their own business centres, thelr churches, £chool-houses, places of .amusement. and manu- facturing eatablishments. ° It contalns nine post-offices, besides having the city letter-deliv- ery In the northern pordon. -1t is crossed and made nceessible by'eight or nine lines of rail- way, Whose numerous trains bring the residents of the pretty ‘suburban settiements along their; lines within'a few minutes’ reach of the centre’ of the great city. It contamns a magpificent system Of parks, established by taxation nrnn the property of the _villigze and of the City of Chicugo, having an area of 1,057 acres of park proper, ‘fourteen miles of * boulevards, some eigzhteen milesof henutifully-fmproved drives, and some thirty miles of walks, this grand pleas- ure-ground having costalrendy neariy $3,000.000, ‘while millions more are n)beex‘mnded’ln bring- g it to perfection.

Tt contuins, uiso, several munufacturing centres of grent present impor- tance, and of extraordinary pussibilities for fut- ure development, Nearly ten miles of its east- ern shores are. washed by the waters of Luko Michigan, atfording -attractions for resfdence cqualed by few pluces in the country;.white its \v[tloh: area s destined oveatually to_ be thickly .ndorned with homes or places of business, or enlivened by the roarof machinery inuncounted manufneturing establishments. The most significant.'indication” of the magic growth of the New Chicago was:the first stroke of the famous Centennial (Corliss) engine at the new car-works at Pullman yesterday. Nine nonths ago tifere was no sign of industry at thatspot. Dur- ing five of those months there has been con- tinnous 'nnd severe winter weather. Yet yesterday the largest ‘engine in the world was started'as the central motive-power of one of the, most extensive manufacturing schemes'ever organized. During this brief period the Pullnidn Car Company, under the impulse and dircetion of Mr. George M. Pullman, from whom it takes its name, has constructed buildings with an aggregate frontage of 5,000 feet, has laid out a great industrial eity, with parks, roadways, hotels, private dwellings, water-works, and all the modern appurtenances of prpgress and com- fort, and actually entered upon operations which project -the construction of 100 cars aday. The vast car-building works, ihich areunder the management.of the Pullman Compauy, are only the pivot of the manu- facturiug interests which are #lrgady under way. The buildings are now il "process of construction to accommodate the manufact- ure of the paper wheels.which are destined to take the place of iron wheels for all rail- road cars. and are already in universal use on the Pullman cars. The wood for the manufacture of the paper can be brought direct from the northern shore of .Lake Michigan to the works through the Calumet River, canal, and lake. There it will be re- duced to pulp and condensed undera tre- mendous hydraulic pressure to a solidity like granit, impervions to water and -all atmospheric conditions. Incased in a steel band that lolds it like a vise this paper car-wheel has been found to be more durable, and it is also cheaper, than the | iron car-wheel. But this is not all. Vast locomotive-works will follow closely upon the completion of the car-wheel works,.and the former will find their material at hand from Brown’s 1nills at Irondale, and the North Chicago Rolling-)Mills, now located at South Chicago, and both just across Lake Calumet, and connected with Pullman by water, rail, and wagon roads. Pullman will have 2 railroad of its own running into the centre of Chicazo with cheap and frequent suburban trains, and within a year that single settlement, among the twenty included in the New Chicago, will have n population of 10,000 people comfortably noused, provided Wwith- permanent employment, and living in the manufacturing- district of the future great city of this continent. " Noone who has had the opportunity of pevsonally noting the growth of what we have called the New,Chicago will suspect the slightest exaggeration in this confident pre- dictionof future greatness. The stride of the manufacturing giants in this community from now on will be colossal. People who live in other sections may, and probably will, doubt, beeause they have never been able to Keep pace even in thought with the pregress of thiseity. Those who live here know by experience that. exaggeration is_simply im- possible as regards Chicago’s fnture. An old resident of the city, with that serene con- fidence in its-destiny which possesses il people who remain’in Chicazo overnight, was once taunted with a propensity ‘to exag- gerate, and replied: I havesometimes tried when I have been'away from home to invent at night some fabulous story to relate about Chicago next morning, and when I woke up 1 would always find that actual progress had exceeded my wildest fabrication.” That is allegory; butitis all the same a good piet- ure of the actual condition of things, as the’ New Chicago will prove. ¥ THE NEW KINGDOM OF ROUMANIA. Prince Charles of Roumania has been ele- vated to a Kingship, as reported by the for- eign dispatches. ‘Che event assumes no new importance by the change of title, but is sig- nificant-as indicating the complete severance of Roumania from Turkey. The new King has no more power than he had as Prince, nor does his Kingdom gain any more privi- leges, or reach any higher status because it has substituted a Kingly for a Princely throne. It carries no particular political in- fluerice, nor does it invest Roumania with' any new importance among the Pawers. The altered relations to Turkey, however,. be- come interesting as a reminiscence. Prior to 1861 the present Principality of Rouma- nia was known' as Moldayia and Walla- chia. Moldavia, . after a long series of wars. in the sixteenth century submit- ed to the suzerainty of the Porte. In the Turko-Russian wars it was always a bone- of contention.. In the time of Cath- erine 1L it was a Russian province, but was restored to Turkey in 17i4 under a kind of Russian protectorate. In 1790, Austria and Russin miade war upon Turkey, and Moldavia was the battleground, but its former status remained. The war of 1825 again brought Ther into Russian hands. A new statute hav- ing been made with reference to the election of Hospodars, it was coufirmed by the Porte, and then the agitation begdn for a union of the principalities, which. was finally accom- plished in 1861, Roumania, the new State, being vassal province of Turkey. The his- tory of Wallachin is very similar. The Turks aceupied it as early as the fourteenth cen- tury, when it acknowledged the suzer- ainty of Sultan Bajazet. From 1770 to 1812 it was almost continuously oceu- pied by Russia; After that time it re- mained in Turkish possession, except in 1828, when the Russians reoccupied itin their war with Turkey. They evacuated it in 1529, but the Treaty of Adrianople gave them a Drotectorate over it, and it remained in this condition until the union in 1861. After the union, Alexander John I was recognized as the Prince by the Porte, but he was forced to abdieate in 1866, and was followed by a pro- visional governmnent. The same year Charles L of Iohenzoller was elected Prince. His- reign, with the exeeption of a few internal troiibles, was a quiet and successful one, though the relations of the Px"inclpnlity to Turkey were always delicate, . It paid an annual tribute of about $200,000 to the Porte, ,| and could not make commercial treaties or | appoint Ministers to foreizn Courts. With these exceptions it. was independent of Turkey. The late war between Russia and Turkey broke' the few remaining ties. that bound it to Turkey. TRussia made Rou- mania, by the latter’s consent, the base of supplies, and the latter also furnishied 25,000 1men, who not only bridged the Danube for the ‘passage of the Russians, but did splendid work in the tield, proving themselves to be gallant soldiers at Plevna. Their freedom was their reward, and it was well earned. Now their antonomy is complete. Their Prince, who was elected by the popular bal- lot; has become a° King, and “they have be- come a re¢ognized nation. Itisanother step in the interesting sequences by which Tur-. key has lost Serviz, Bulgaria, and - Rou- mania. She has also” had to sacrifice one stripof her territory to Montenegro, and now, under pressure of the Powers, must give upstill more 'to Greece, Thus, piecs by piece, her possessions are stripped - from her;and each amputationis a galn'for mod- ern progress and civilization.

It takes sublime cheek on his purt to do it. When the Committee in be- haif of Irish land-reform, composed of such men as Col. W. P.'Rend, W. K. Sullivan, Justice Morrison, John F. Finerty, William Curran, John Forsythe, W. J. Hynes, and John F. Scan- lap, called on his Lordship to invite him to pre- side over the great McCormick Hall land-re- form meeting to aid the starving Irish in their desperate struggle for life, hn refused point- blank. “With a solemn shake of the head,” suys John F, Finerty in his report of the inter- view, “the great man eaid to tne Committee: “Itisa queston whether T, as Mayor of the city, ought to preside at such n meeting, involy- Ing a question of law as between Great Britain and Ireland. Iam not read up oun Irish affairs, and I do not reel like acting as an official, or in an official capacity.” A membor of the Committee suggested it was about time the Mayor began to read the papers and keep posted. JMr. Harrison said: * Ah. yes; really I have given no attention to the question at all. How would Americans like to bave the Mayor of Manchester, preside over a meeting inimical to American interests? Well, I don't sce how [ can reside over n gathering which calls in quéstion aglish law." A Committeeman—* Mr. Harrison, we don't want you to act if - you bave. any English scru- ples. Remember, bowever, that we do not ask you to preside over & meeting of Irishmen, but over n mecting of . American citizens of every creed and volce, who will express sympathy with tho oppressed tenant farnicrs of Ircland in thoir “constitutional effort to break up the feudal sys- tem and estndlish them freenolders on their own soil. We do not prass youto act, however.” Mr. Harrison—"* Ab, that isall very well, but the principle is still under discussion, and - itisa question of law as to whether England has the right.’ E A Committeeman (ironically)—*In_order to end your embarrassment, Mr. Harrison, per- hupsyou had better consult the Corporation Counsel.” S The Mayor smiled skeletonically at this, and said: **Ab, indeed! Well. I cannot act as Mayor of Chicago. At this point the Cowmmiitee unanimously turned their’ backs on Mr. Har- rison and marched out. R Curter shouted after them, “I'll act as an'in- dividual” i The Committee did not take Mr. Harrison as “an individual " into consideration, and paid no attention to his offer. All agreed that he had accomplished n feat of crowning inconsistency. Subsequently the Committee united on the Hon. Thomas Hoyne~—their original choice, which was only uverridden by a desire to respect the city through its Mayor, Mr. Haerison.—and Mr. Hoyne, with great cordinlity, expressed his willingness to serve asChairman. saying the Irish lund-reform cause, so far as he'had read nbout it, was deserving tho symoathy of civil- jzed manokind, and should have his heartiest support, B ov.

Whe Chnirman fnvited him to speak at the mass-meeting, the object of which he explained. 3 Gov. Cullom said he saw no possible objection to speaking at a demonstration of that nature. Tieut.-Gov. Shuman wus next waited upon, cd his wmmnugss to speak at the 8. But Carter was afraid of offending the Queen of Engladd and the feuda! landlords who are crushing the heart ana life ont of the Irish peo- ple, and therefore he refused to preside at the meeting, Next Tuesday the Irish voters of Chicago will bave their first opportunity of re- turning the favor. e ———— As MATTERS now seem, the Republicans of the Second Ward have concluded to throw away their chances of electing an Alderman. They are foolishly running two candidates,~Billings,regu- lar, and Ballard, bolter,—and the inevitablo re- suit will be the election of Appelton, the whisky- doggery keeper. The colored Republicans are dowr on Batlurd for some reason, and beat him enormously at the primarles,—nominating Bll- fogs, who ran last spring- agninst Pat Saunders and got defeated in'a Republican’ ward. -1t is claimed that Bullard is only running for the pur- pose of defeating ‘Billings, and .don't expect to Poll buta few hundred votes,—just'enough to elect tho Democratic dogzery-keeper. By the loss of. the Alderman Jn the Second Ward the City Council will ‘probably be Democratic. The Jonrnal hopes that both B’s will withdraw, and atlow the Committce to namen third man, on whom all can unite. But we see no prospect of anything of the sort belng done, as tho intention is todefeat each othor. and let' the bummers carry the Ward. i e — T people of the United States are good Beer-drinkers, but thoy scem to admiro ‘. good gless of champagne no less, According to Y¥rench réports, durlng the year 1850, that coun- try exported 2,570,784 bottles ot champagne to the United States.
