"The Fierce Race for Wealth." ard face and form that drooped and fainted, In the fierce race for wealth." —Bret Uarte, The material progress of America has startled the continent of Europe, arid the people are astonished by the gigantic strides of the republic of the new world. It is truly wonderful how a continent, so broad and vast, even within the meriory of men now living, should have been reclaimed and civijjzed, and how, in the central west, great cities have been builded, a perfect net-work of railroads completed, whole States brought iuto cultivation, and wealth, education, refinement, and all other adjuncts of civilization, developed in the highest. This represents incalculable labor aud exertion. We have become a nation of weary laborers. Ceaselessly do we drive the mill and task the brain and body. The capitalist is tin tiring in his effort to make

Suicide has become a common incident of every-day life. The number of inmates of our insane asylums steadily increases, and th number outside of these institutions of unstrung minds, whose powers have yielded to the unnatural strain upon them, steadily augments. The. number that resort to alcohoiic stimulants to reinforce failing powers is fearful.

These evils are the results of constant, unvaried labors. In the race for wealth and power we are sapping the vital juices of life. We need then, more rest, more innocent and health-giving amuse merit. In the merry laugh and change of mental thought we should find that stimulus that is essential to a healthy brain. It is an established fact that the stomach needs change of food, that variety of exercise benefits the muscular body let us then, have relaxation for our mental faculties*- We fear that the religious instructors of the people have too steadily set face against theatre, opera, and almost every amusensent. This is the results of distorted morality, and must have injurious effects upon life. If people would once be convinced that it is not necessarily a serious, solemn or melancholy thinjj to be religious, it would be bettea for our minds and hearts. If ministers of the gospel will but countenance innocent amusement, it would be, in the opinion of many earnest, thinking men, much better for the cause of Christianity. The man who toils and labors from morning till eveniriij must have some kind of relaxation and enjoyment, no matter what may be the ideas of stern moralists.

In the earnest race for wealth, threefourths of the business Rouses of this city are kept open until late in the evening. This is all wrong. The active labors of the pay should close not later than seven o'clock. This i3 the hour the dry goods stores should be closed, and all other mercantile houses should make the same agreement. Night labor is rarely ever profitable. The evening should be given up to amusement, sooial^ intercourse, and to

The Dead Bodies.

It is an impossibility for the human mind to conceive of a sight more heartrendiug than the oue presented at No. 64 Milwaukee aveyue the temporary Morgue for the reeeption of the victims of the conflagration. The place is in charge of Officer Mitchell, and guarded by a strong posse of police, but despite their most strenuous exertion, it is impossible to maintain anything like sys tem or regularity in the exhibl tion of the bodies. Thousands of people are congregated thereabouts, and fairly besiege the building. Mothers in search of their missing children, wives for their husbands, and husbands for their wives aud families, children sobbing for their lost parents aud friends—all sunk to the very depth of human misery and desolation. The number of bodies so far brought in readies nearly or

%quite

eighty, but it is not possible to reco'gnize more than half a dozen, being for the most part actually burned to a crisp. Only one body have beeu positively reccognized, that ofDauiel O'Brien, a draymau, fbund at Kiugsbury aud Huron streets. The remainiug recognizable bodies area man about fifty years of age, quite gray and partially baid, with full chin whiskers, five feet eight or nine inches in height, supposed to have been murdered, shot or stabbed in the breast.

A man about sixty years of age, also gray and nearly bald, has a full beard, is about five feet six inches in height, has

on brown pants, black sack coat, white over and black aud white plaid under shirts, and rubber overshoes. This man was found on the prairie, and died, it is supposed, from suffocation.

An old lady, apparently about seventy years of age. was found suffocated at the foot of Erie street. This body has been taken in charge by a North Side Catholic Churchyjaaid te\p»rtly shroaded for burial, but we were unable to learn the name. It is supposed to be the bodj^of a Sister of Charity.

A man, to all appear&nCe a Germau, has black hair, mustacb, and ghi^whiskers. He was rouud on Kinzie Itre« jyst north of the bridge, and supposed to have been a tailor. This man lost all his property, wife and two or three children, aud iu the agony of grief committed suicide by cutting his throat and •opening an artery in his left w^st.^

Bodies are constantly arriving from iM parts of the burued district, and it is?evident that soou another place will be necessary for their reception, and nearly every available spot in t1»e present building is occupied. The coroner, it is expected, will holdaa in^Uest. tkte afternoon.

Letter from Rev. James Hill. CHICAGO, October 13. To the Editor of lerre Haute Gazette:

The scene of desolation beggars description. The extent is two and a half, by *even miles. The fragmentary walls and indescribable ruins show the grandeur of the buildings destroyed. The entire business part of the city, and the whole of the immense stocks of merchandise of all kinds, are a total loss. The Court House, with all the county and city records, aud titles of property, are all destroyed this will give rise eventually to much litigation. The public buildings, embracing the City Hall, Chamber of Commerce, seven costly churches on the south side and eight on the north side, the Shermau, the Adams, the Palmer, the St. James, the Tremont, the Briggs, the Metropolitan, the Nevada and the new Pacific, in short, all the burned and fifty miles of pavement are burned and ruined. TJae iron rails of the street railroad are warped and bent iu various shapes and the cars of course have ceased running. The walls of five and six stories fall as they cool, endangering life, filling the cellars and obstructing th streets, and beneath them are combus:ible materials, burning with great fury, keeping the cellars aud debris so hot that it is impossible for owners to enter, even to see if their safes with their untold treasures are preserved.

lils wealth more remunerative each year. Nicholson The laborer must work incessantly to comply with the demands of the employer for the products of his hands. Those that contribute braiu labor must ever be on the alert to furnish something new and novel. And so we make our existence a never-ending toil and the life that should be varied a monotonous waste, The great wants in the every-day life of the American people are rest and amusemen!. We look back with contempt upon the ancient Romans who were continually being amused by their tyrannical rulers to keep them obedient. But we seek the opposite extreme. We area nation of pack-horses, never losing our loads. While a few ride through life, the overwhelming majority are born, live and die in the harness. A nation of drudges, we find rest only in the grave.

was made a place of deposit for all kinds of commodities, all of which took fire and were consumed, and immense dam age was done to the shrubbery and trees of the Park.

To-day the streets are thronged with vehicles of all kinds, loaded with promiscous loads of household goods being hauled in various directions, seeking places of deposit. Large quantities of elegant furniture, pictures, mirrors, etc., are lying in piles in the streets and yards outside of the circumference of the fire, for a distance of five or six miles each way.

Fifty thousand people are turned out houseless. Multitudes of ladies who \v ere living in palaces of refinement and wealth are seen in the streets with scarcely enough costume to keep them warm this windy aud cold day. It is common to see families sheltering on the sunny side of houses in the suburbs, and to see them sitting on curb stones with sad, hungry and weeping faces. No oue with humane feeling can survey the scenes here without weeping.

Thousands are trying to shelter ou the commons beneath improvised shelters, of fragments of awnings, and of boards. More comfortable shelter is being provided by the humane for them as fast as possible. Two thousand stayed in one locality congregated together on an outlot night before last, without shelter whatever, and the wind was blowing cold, and during the latter part of the night a cold rain fell upon them. Many tf these were families who had lived in ease aud elegance.

Tfaie business men usually salute and auswer each other as follows: "How are you are you broken?" "Yes, ruined did you lose anything?" "Yes, all," I hear this frequently on the street. Men tell you as follows: "I was worth last Saturday, one hundred thousand, or five hundred thousand, to-day I am not worth a dollar." Hundreds of them are in this condition. A gentleman who knew, told me that a gentleman here, considered to be worth five millions last Saturday, is not worth a dollar to-day

An aged and infirm man and his wife were sitting on a door step, impoverished and weeping most piteously, when a lady of elegance who had beeu turned into the street homeless, ran to them saying, "don't cry, we are all in the same condition," when the poor man exhibited his leg broken, and said he had no place to go.

Families would go to their front gates look at the fire in the distance and return into their houses and would scarcely be seated until the alarm would be given that their house was rin fire and they would be fleeing for life.

Business men of the city have been .returning from all parts of»the country to find themselves bankrupted, their dwellings burned and families gone, and they unable to find them.

Pnnishnient of the Wheel.

T^e punishment of the wheel, which was suppressed in 1799, was one of the most frightful t'hat can be imagined. The criminal was extended on a St. Andrew's cross. There were on it eight inches cut, one below each arm between the elbow and wrist another betweeu each elbow and the shoulder one under each thigh, aud one under each leg. The executioner, armed with a heavy triangular bar of iron, gave a violent blow on each of these eight places, and of courae broke the bone and a ninth on the pit of the stomach, The mangled victim was now lifted from the cross and stretched on a small wheel, placed vertically at one of the ends of the cross, his back on the upper part of the wheel, his head and feet hanging down. The sentence provided that he was to remain there as long as it pleased God to prolong his life. Many lingered there five or six hours, some longer. A son of a jeweller in the Place dc la Dauphine, who had murdered his father, was only relieved by death at the end of 24 hours. These unhappy wretches,, often often uttering horrible blasphemies, always tormented by continual thirst, incessantly called for something to drink. A priest never left their side during the ting agony, but incessantly put WatgRo their lips, wiped the sweat from their burning brows, and pointed to a. merciful God above the scaffold, extending his arms to receive them. This holy duty was always discharged by a doctor of the Sorponne.

The Election of 1872.

The active canvassing of candidates for the Democratic Presidential nomination in 1872, that took place prior to the elections in California and Maine, has jbeen followed by a more careful reflection oil the whole subject, and one startling result of this recousideratipn is a ^tingestion of the question whether there ought to be a Democratic nomiuatiou at all. The idea is startliug, because it* i$ without a precedent in our national politics, and is profoundly interesting, as furnishing a precedent itself. The present theory of party politics is that in important coutests both parties must place tickets in the field, even although one of them goes 'through the formality with the consciousness that its ticket will be certainly defeated. The new theory, on the contrary, assumes the possible existence of conditions iu which it is betteiHfor one party not to make a nomination at all, but leave the field to its antagonists, iu the almost absolute certainly that its antagonists will then divide "and present two tickets.

While, however, there is no national precedent for such a course, the experiment is notan untried one, the campaign of la3t fall in Missouri, furnished a thorough example of the new idea, and it is the very beneflcient and generally satisfactory results of that example that have suggested a repetition of it on a national scale in the Presidential contest of next year. It is asked: "Why should not an experiment that proved so successful i.i breaking the power of Radicalism in Missouri be employed to break the power of Iladicalim iu the Union? Why should not the whole country find deliverance from a party that is essentilly proscriptive, oppressive, uuconstifutional, and violent in'its policy and practice, in the same effective way in which a single State found such deliverance The result of the Missouri election of 1870 was not, indeed, a Democratic victory, but it was certainly a Radical defeat aud the abolition of disfranchisement, the subsidies of animosities, the restoration of concord and «ood will amoug the people, and the revival of a cheerful interest in public affairs and in local enterprises which followed that defeat are conse-: quences which vindicate the wisdom of the experiment in Missouri, and, at least, suggest its reputation iu a larger field. The contradictory and discordant nature of the several State platforms, both Democratic and Republican, that have been presented to us within the last few months, show that both parties have lost their reckoning, and are beating about somewhat wildiy. The constitutional amendments and the legislation of Cougress since the war have eliminated several very important subjects of difference and dispute from our national politics, and the result is a vacum which confuses both parties. The.only common conviction in the Republican party is that it ought to be kept in power, to give us such partisan legislation as it has given us in the last six years and the preminent couviction in the Democratic party, to which ail questious of tariff, liuance, annexation, and foreign relations, are subordinate, is that the Republican party ought to be overthrown, and a gentler policy substituted for the reign of force which it has given us. The

Virginia

conservatives, in

their late State Convention, declined to adopt the usual resolutions, and contented themselves with proclaiming as their sole platform, "opposition to Radicalism." Tne fact expresses a common Democratic instinct, and expresses, too, a feeling which all the liberal and reflecting element of the Republica,u party shares. But how is this opposition to be successful How is the Republican party to be displaced How is such a consummation to be effected, in the teeth'of the rigorous semi-military laws which it has devised, expressly to enable it to carry elections and protect itself from defeat How is the administration party to be beaten in 1872, when the people half believe it will not submit to defeat, and will uphold President Grant in any measures he may take to avoid it? Or, even if we could have apperfectly free election in all the States, without executive interference and with the certainty that the party in power would cheerfully submit to the result, what assurance have the Democrats that they can carry the country with any nominee of their party, in the face of the defeats they have recently encountered in California, Pennsylvania and Ohio.

These are questious which the advocates of the no-nomination policy ask themselves and even if they are not conclusive of the merits of that policy, they are weighty, and deserve to be thoughtfully pondered. It is urged, with much reason, that the country can ill afford another four years of Radical rule, with the Union maintained fa its present abnormal, unrestored condition, Ku Klux disorders and Ku Klux laws continued, Executive interference persisisted in, and-tlie process of centralization made complete and that if these things are to be arrested at all the Radical party must be unseated at Washington, just as it was unseated in Missouri, by the Democrats abstaining from a Presidential nomination, and leaving the uominatioh of a ticket which they may support to the liberal element of the other party. Even if the Democrats could hope to 'nominate a Presidential ticket and elect it, with Groesbeck, or Hancock, or Hendricks, or Chase, or: any one else at the head, would not the victory, it is asked, be empty and barren? Would not the Radical Congress tie the hands of. the Democratic President, and give us the histor^^of the Andrew Johnson Administration over again? On the other hand, with Graut aud the Administration party overwhelmingly defeated, as McCiurg was defeated in Missouri, a liberal and patriotic Republican made President, and a majority of Democrats and Liberals chosen to Congress, would not the result though tpaterially different from a full Democratic triumph, be an inestimable improvement on the present order of things? It would, it is true, involve concessions which the national Democracy would find it hard to make hut would not the happy deliverance of the harassed Southern States, and their restoration to the co-equality and dignity they are now debarred from, be a sufficient compensation for these concessions? Aud would not the real restoration of the Union which followed this triumph of the new party be its perpetual claim on the gratitude and confidence of the people. ',j

The Lessons of Chicago.

^Chicago, though iu ashes, is not destroyed. Already, from the smouldering embers, the city is gathering strength for a renewed career of prosperous activity^ while from thoeame source It will speedily draw the lessons that are unmistakably taught in its calamity. It will be well, too, for other cities and other builders to heed the warnings which are held up by the light of the flames of Chicago. It is not altogether true that cheap wooden buildings, huddled in great ar^as, hfrve been the cause of this tragic de-

be stayed. But the great structures which had been considered secure against the flames, went down like pasteboard. It is plain that an error has been committed in placing trust in the fire-proof qualities even of such structures as those nest represented in the Chicago Trtbune Building.. Brick walls, iron or slated roofs, arched floors with wooden coveringslaidjn cement, do not, it is found", under the' conditions of the Chicago fire, make a fire-proof building. These may stand against an ordinary assault, but such a. relative power of resistance is not complete security. Wide and unpiotected windows, wooden floors and finish, and other seemingly small concessions to cheapness, lightness and comfort, have sufficed to destroy the impregnability of the structure. The iron buildings, so ornate aud airy in appearance, which have beeu greatly affected by the Chicago builders, have about them almost no element of resistance to sweeping flames. They" are, for the most part, thiu frames of metal, with immense openings for the admission of light and air, and are furnished inside with lath and plaster, and filled with wooden doors and floors. The raging flumes have warped these light iron shells, and curled them up like elm boards in an August sun, or Southern railroad bars in the fires of Sherman's "bummers." Walls, then, of thin iron, or brick, or stone, cannot alone make a building proof against fire and the mere addition of brick-arched floors, iron shutters, and outer doors, does not, it is clear, sufficiently re-enforce the other precautions. There are loop-holes euough left for the ingress of the eager flames, which, once inside the shell, leave it only when it is reduced to ashes. Are not science and ingenuity adequate to this emergency? There were absolutely no fire-proof buildings in Chicago. Why not? Let us know the reason, and build better and stronger, tausht by Chicago's hard fate this lesson of the hour.— N. Y. Tribune.

Dead Bodies of Yictims at the Morgue— the Relief Committee, The eighty dead bodies already lying iu ghastly rows in the morgue the two long columns of the uames ot missing in this morning's paper the churches and school houses crowded still with half clothed, weeping women and children, are terrible reminders of the calamity whose whole horrors no words will ever be found to describe.

The bodies in the morgue were mostly found on the North Side, and it is but too certain only a small portiou of the number who were caught iu theragingsea of flames were utterly consumed The Coroner yesterday held inquests on sixtyfour of the bodies in the morgue, ouly two of which were recognized, aud one of these was Henry I. Ullman, the banker, the finding of whose body was mentioned yesterday the other, a man named Peter O'Brien.

The body of the man who had crawled into a large water main was recognized as Aleckson, living at No. 31 Milwaukee avenue. About twenty bodies of those recovered were taken from the basements of two buildings on the North Side, near the Chicago avenue bridge.

Yesterday morning the Relief Committee was thoroughly organized, Orriti E. Moore being elected President, C. T. Hotchkiss Secretary, and David A. Gage Treasurer. The committee met in conjunction with the Council, and voted tliat all moneys should be received by the single hand of David A. Gage, the Treasurer, and be disbursed on the signature of the President and Secretary, indorsed by the Auditing Committee. Subcommittees were appointed in every department, and it is believed that very thorough work is being accomplisned in receiving and distributing supplies.

Probably forty thousand people were fed yesterday by the committee, and provisions are coming iu from all direc« tions. J. W. Preston has general charge of receiving supplies, and O. C. Gibbs of their distribution. G. M. Pullman and N. K. Fairbanks have charge of the distributing supply depot on the South Side Rev. Robert Collier and John Herding on the North Side and Messrs. Moore and Markham OIK the West Side.

THE ruins of Chicago are still red-hot when we hear of five or six daily newspapers prepering to resume publication in the midst of the smoke and fire. The proprietors of these journals have lost enormous sums. Presses, type, and paper, and perhaps their books are entirely destroyed. Little or nothing is left of the capital invested in their business except the advertisingcustom of merchants who have no longer anything to advertise, and the good.will of subscribers, a majority of whom are honsliless wanderers on the prairie. For the present there is nothing- in the city to support a newspaper, and there is not a dollar's worth of material for making one to be bought. Yet the Chicago editors go to work with as much promptness and courage as if they were only the victims of a trifling everyday accident. We dare say some of them are already doing business, and turning an honest penny by the narrative of their own misfortunes. It is a bold, quick spirit like this which has made Chicago one of the wonders of the world—which raised a metropolis out of the marsh and sand in forty years, and will raise finer one out of the ashes iu ten.—N. Y. Tribune.

THE Washington correspondent of the New York Times eays that "Secretary Delano has just unearthed another as tonishingand unblushing Indian fraud." We should like to know what time Delano has had to unearth any fraud. He has been away nearly all summer, and it. is very doubtful whether be really knows what goes on in his Department Some poor clerk unearthed the fraud, aud now Delano steps in and takes the credit of it.
