CHILI'S SIDE MUST DE HEARD, It is not probable that anything more will be heard of the Chilian ditlioulty until the full correspondence between the countries is made public. When the trouble is satisfactorily settled, and we believe this will result, the detailed history of the affair will be made known. Several things are to be remembered un til this conclusion is reached. Chili had barely reached the end of a most disas trous internecine war when the killing of these sailors occurred. The final de feat of Balmaceda's forces left the coun try in a feverish and unsettled state. Even at this time the government holds the reins with an uncertain grasp and finds it an extremely difficult matter to obtain good order in the cities. The situation is like that in some of our southern cities immediately after the close of the rebellion, except that it is worse by reason of the more paseionate and restless nature of the Chilians. Under these conditions several Ameri can sailors are attacked and killed by a mob of irrepressible people in the city of Valparaiso and, from information gathered, it was a most atrocious and in excusable outrage. But all informa tion is not known. Did these sailors commit ants which would afford an ex cuse for mob violence? Did the police in this distracted city endeavor to pro tect these sailors and will the new Chil ian government promptly investigate the whole affair? We believe the fullest investigation will be had and will ter minate in an adjustment of the difficul ties so far as the governments are con cerned. With the present condition of affairs at least, the Chilian government will meet us more than half way to avoid the probability of a war which would retard Chilian prosperity for many years. They know better than any one what a war with the United states means and having gone through the vicissitudes of one war they are not likely to go out of their way for an other. Without drawing a parallel it may be well to recall that not many months have passed since the Italian govern ment demanded reparation for the lives of several of her citizens killed by a mob in New Orleans after they had been tried for murder and acquitted by an American jury. The dispute was set tied in a manner satisfactory to both governments. Furthermore, in the dis cussion of the present difficulty it may be also well to remember that in no country on earth does mob law prevail with such unguarded violence and with the sanction of as many reputable peo ple as in the United States. Not long ago, in the great and prosperous city of Omaha, a crpwd of people broke into a jail, snatched a criminal from his cell and hung him over a trolley wire in a leading street. Hardly a week passes without a lynching in the southern or western states. The fact that there are honest courts where fair trials may be had does not deter the citizens in some parts of this enlightened republic from assuming that they are better and mightier than the law. Now, then, three American citizens have been killed in the far away city of Valparaiso, in a country turn to pieces by war among her own people, and at this time no one outside the state de partment knows from authority how the affair occurred or what led to it. Until these matters are determined it would be comforting to enjoy a respite of peace from the war howlers. THe following tickets have been nom inated for next year: Cleveland and Boies and Blaine and McKinley. Prob ably no quartetto, so far as personal I strength goes, would be better received by the respective parties. But nothing is more improbable than Blaine and Mc Kinley running t)gether on the issue of protection. Blaine has already smashed one silk hat because of the McKinley bill and he is not likely to take off an other hat before that fetish. Ma. Tuos. A. EomaoN ini a recent in terview advanced the theory thatevery atom of living matter is imbued with in telligence and that the intelligence of man is the sum of the intelligences of the atoms of which lie is composed. To get down from this soaring to every-day life, we offer in rebuttal a ruinor going about that there are iany men to (lay without an atom of intelligence. Von the first time the French bankers have dcclined to take Russian loans. When the c/ar kindly takes snother country into an alliance he expects handsome returns for his favors, but the French government evidently thinks that France can worry along through the winter without the protection of the Russian bear skin. IT is reported that a conspiracy has been started to overthrow the now gov ernient in Chili. It looks us though " ambitious statesmen, cunneuted with this government, would have their hands full of business all winter. Tar number of bank failures and defalcations of bank oflicials during the Hier few weeks Ae been sometbing r t arilidle though the country Ia not sut ftaring with finanoial depression. The diffloulty seems to exist in the extraor dinary powers given to bank ofiloera in some places and the failure or inability of bank examiners to perform their dtu ties. Tna Denver Paper Mills company will expend $200,000 in the enlargement of its plant. If this company can afford to spend so much money in increasing its already excellent facilities it is fair to assume that a paper factory started on a reasonable scale would prove a suo cess in this city. Tim twenty-fourth assembly district, of New York, has 105,0(X) inhabitants and one assemblyman, while Jefferson county has 08,000 Inhabitants and two assemblymen. Still the republican newspapers call a redistricting of the state gerrymandering. IT is generally conceded by the press of the country that the New York pres bytery did right in dismissing the case against Prof. Briggs. The men who can define heresy in this age of the world are-wise men indeed. IT is nearly two weekb since the last tin plate factory was started. This will be an infant indewtry until the next campaign, when tin plate factories will be started at every crose-roads in the country. WHEN Napoleon was forty years old he had nearly all Europe in the palm of his hand. Napoleon McKinley is about the same age and has Ohio, providing we count Sherman and Foraker under his f dictation. Iv the people of Brazil are unable to reduce the swelling of President Da Fonseca's head we suggest they send him to this country to run for office next year on the issue of high protection. A MINNESOTA editor entertained a large party the other evening at a crow banquet to settle an election wager. Our republican friends are fortunate to have crow this year. IT is pretty thoroughly demonstrated that the endorsement of Tom Platt is becoming a mighty heavy handicap for c any republican candidate in New York state. t Tnz boys and girls under twelve t years old will be admitted free to the matinee Saturday by showing a coupon e to be printed in Friday's INDEPENDENT. Yours Uncle Billy Claggett, of Idaho, will have a fight of his own in the United States senate this winter. If he is right Montanians are with him. H1ENRY CABOT LODGE concludes that the significance of results in Massachu setts is serious. It he refers to the re publican party we agree with him. THE newspapers on the west side are engaged in a circulation war. There seems to be an air of hesitancy on all sides. As this is the season for signing play ers for the clubs next year, the base ball crank is once more having his turn. AN election changes many things. Nobody cares now whether Jerry Simp son wears socks or not. How we miss that daily coat-of-arms in the New York Recorder. THE SHADOWGRAPHER. It appears that the Swede who wrote to us some t:me ago is still in the state. He hasa good job now, but is so ambitious that we axrset he will either become the president of the United States, or the son of the presi dent, which is much the same. He writes this time from Great Falls as follows: BI DAE B MELTAe, EN GaREI FOLS, I Nov. 9, 1891.

PREBIpiN : #fL 001U W On ils oato s a A1pet44ho President Hill, of the (reat Northern railway, arrived in Helena yesterday after noon, and after a shodt stay went eo0 .1 Butte, He will continue his journey ho Spokane, where he goes to finally settle the question whether the Great Northern exa tension will go directly through that city, or reach it by a spur. The people of Spo kane have been anxiously looking for his coming, and are prepared to offer bim some inducements for a dirbot line. Concerning work on the extension a recent dispatch says that until within the past few days it has been understood that all tracklayins on the Great Northern would proceed from the east. So decided has been the talk of all the offlciats on this point that it created something of a sensation this weak when Chief Engineer Beokler visited Sand Point and put a corps of encineers at work sur veying a spur from the Northern Pacific over to the Great Northern-a distance of only a mile and a half at that point. Mr. Beckler says that the orders from S. Paul are to build the spur and commence laying track both east and west with all possible speed, and to continue all winter if the weatLer will permit, As if to give color to the report that the Great Northern is getting ready to push things, Contractor Siene and Chief Bookler have been looking over the route this week, noting progrees and giving orders to the tubs to hurry up the work. It will be re membered that all contracts to Albany Falls call for completion by Jan. 1. Beck. ler stated to the Nothern Paciflc agent at Sand Point that he would have 600 car loads of steel for him to look after this winter. Work on the Great Northern from the Montana line to Bonner's Ferry is nearly completed. The last of the subs will be ready to pull out by Dec. 1. Some very bad slides are enticipated along the Kootenai, which will require considerable labor to. clear away. Burns & Chapman's work from Bonner's Ferry to the Half Way house is not so well along as the balance. Unless some extra exertions are made it will drag on well toward spring, but reports are that an extra force will be put to work on it. P. Welch & Co.. whose contract extends from the Half Way house to Sand Point, expect to have their work ready for the rails in six weeks. Below Sand Point the work is very nearly complete to Albany Falls. WhAT IT COST THEM. Report of the Jay Hawk Consolidated Mining Company.

To THE INDEPENDENT: An article in yes terday's Journal deserves some notice on account of its apparent lack of truth and on account of the animne of the writer, ex hibited in every line of this little speech. Mr. McPhee was lost but little over a month ago-not six months ago. "There are men who believe McPhee skipped." He 'had better have used She singular number there. 7 here could not be more than one such be liever. The terms "treasule " and "non payment," etc., are used to cast the reflse tion that this man has probably taken away the funds; and the still further implication appears that the company ao accomplices with him in this way of defrauding people. But not one dollar of the company's money is missing, and furthermore nothing of value is missing except the man himself. "If alive and well it would be gratifying to his friends to know it." I don't under stand how the reporter draws this conclu sion. He may have talked with some one of them, but his article does not indicate such a fact. Now, as to the company "charging for meals," I may be allowed to say one word by way of probable excuse for this malic ions statement. I am not a member of the company, nor ever was, nor have I seen any member of the company since reading that remarkable statement, but I was employed there two weeks tnd know something about this "charging for meals." The company's boarding house fed during these two weeks probably twenty men not employee, but men who were going to other camps or corn ing to thin camp to seek employment) and the matter became so serions that the su perintendent, in my hearing, spoke to the president and the general manager about the matter, and it was determined then and there that in justice to the stockholders this thing should be stopped, and accord ingly the men employed at the boarding honey were instructed to charge every one not an employe. The company may not know that the boarding steward failed to discriminate even in the cases where men voluntarily gave their services in search of the missing mali. Who can be blamed fornotdiscrimi natmg in such a case? Shall the steward call the superintendent and the latter call a meeting of the company-many of them not even In the state, or shall we be more sensible and say these men did right by obeying ordere? 'Co close allow me to say that I have known John MePhee for eleven years and I am sufficiently acquainted with him to say with great assrnance that he has not left voluntarily, as meanly insinuated in the Journal, but he has either become insane from fatigue and excitement and in deepera tion wandered away, or more probably has become exhausted in his fruitless effort to extricate himself from those dense woods and perished from hunger and cold. It is to be deprecated that such occur cnces as this con not be consi.iered too eaoied on account of the attendant sorrow to be thus trumpeted in our newspapers, but some people seem to regard nothing as aicred and art accordingly. With respect to the maligned company and sorrow for the bereaved wife, I am, very respectfully. JoinN W. WADE. SPECIAL. For the Next Feie lays Only We oler: Standard corn, 100 per can.
