Tho ghastly side walls and ceilings aro now hanging by frail supports and are liablo to crumble any momeut. Children and curious people aro around tho building continuously and unless the structure falls in the night time some one is liable to bo injured and possibly killed. The old Hen ton House on lower 3ullard street is n completo wreck. ho front wnll rihI nearly all tho bide walls have gone down and what remains presents a Bpec- tral appearance. It is in a state utirely beyond hope of repair, and, occupying the position which it does, its ghastly appearance cre ates a very unwholesome irnpreB- sion upon visitors to our city. Tho little adobe building at the corner of. iuain and lankio treets, formerly occupied as a Chinese luundry, ought to be lauled down. A section has gono out of tho southwest corner of the rout and sido walls and tho wholo thing is liable to full without fur ther warning. The building has boon abandoned and children may be Been at play among tho ruius. City Attorney Wright was in terviewed in regard to tho author ity vested in the city government to inspect and condemn buildings believed to bo in such condition as to endanger human life, and is nclined to the opinion that under a certificate from competent arclii tects to the effect that where buildings uro iu danger of falling and in such manner as to menace public safety, that the city can compel owners of such buildings to havo them torn down or cause the sanio to bo dono and the ex pense thereof assessed against said owners. it mere is not an orui nauco giving such power aud au thority to tho city one should bo immediately framed and passed.

HARVEY'S CLAIJis" ST A Mi. Chicago, Aug. 8. Following is the summing up of the Harvey- Iorr debate made by Mr. Har vey: 1 That gold and silver are the money of the constitution. Mr. Iorr did not controvert this, and left it with Daniel Webster's statements to thot effect. 2 That the silver dollar was the unit of value in our coinage system fixed by the act of 1872. Mr. Horr admits this. See pages 59 and 61, official report. 3 That both silver and gold wero the measures ot value ot propei ty until 1873, and the debt or had a right to pay in either metal. See Mr. Ilorr's answer to Mr. Motsinger on page 100. 4 That the net of 1873 was sur reptitiously passed. What Garfield, Blaine and oth ers said on this subject will be found in the congressional records during the discussion to which my other refereucos given in de bate will direct the reader. A let ter from ex-Attorney General Fierrepont, uuder Tres. Grant, to Hon. George Merrick, Denver, Colo., Btating that Gen. Grant told him he was deceived by the act of 1873, is iu my possession and 1 will cause it to be printed and cir culated. 5 That for all time of which we have knowledge, gold and bíI ver were treated equally as money, Both had a right to enter the mints in all the countries of the world until 1816, when England closed her mints to silver, and 1873-74, when the Uu i ted States, Germany, France and the Latin Union followed. And until 1873- 74 the commercial values of the two metals were substantially ou a parity with the legal ratio. That this condition made both metals avoüable for use as primary mon ey, and the demand for primary money was relieved by tho volume of both metals. That prices of all property are now measured in gold alone ano are substantially at the present time one half w hat they would be under tho bimetallic system. Mr, Horr frequently in dubato makes this admission. 7 There were $143,000,000 in silver coiuod iu our mints prior to 1853, all of which coined prior to 1853 was primary money, and since 1853 tho silvor dollars were primary money, aud by virtue of tho right of "silver to be coined iuto primary money, through the system of silver dollars, tho whole system was exerting its influence as a measure of value and stoot ready to bo coined, and to share equally with gold tuo demand fo John Rr.M'kuiHn, Thni.
