The evident desiro on the part of
President Harrison for a war with

knowlodgo that ho must win so mo of
Blaine's jingo followers in order to be
nominated.
The Waterloo Obeorvor, an obsoure
weekly in New Xork state, comes to
us marked wrippor with a column and
a half cditoral favoring Hill for
president. It oopies too much from
the New York Sun to have any influ
enoo with Demoorats.
Wo never mppobcd that a Republi
can would prevaricate except to ob
tain a vote but tho San Antonio
Light tells this one: "Waco olaims
to be the geysor nity of the state, and
Bays tint no spoutor with less than 2,
liOO.OOO gallons a day counts. Sho
cannot come in with San Antonio.
This city has a gusher in the heart of
town that can sec that 2,500,000 of
Waco and go more than 1,200,000
better. Next."
Tho Now York Herald some time
ago nomiuated Henry Watterson for
president, and tho press generally has
been lavish with fucecious criticismB.
The San Antonio Democrat gels off
tha best one, as follows: "If Henry
Watterson were uot an editor, ho
might be oleoted president, but ho ia
an editor, and that settles it He
would bo able to write his own uieaa
ag9H, which would bo a violation of a
long established custom."
Tho Houston Post pulverizes the
Gazetto as follows.
'Under the head of , "Silver Say
ings" tho Gazetto asks a number of
pertinont and some very impertinent
questions. It has bcon said that auy
tool can ask questionB, though it may
tako a wiso man t& answer them.
For instanoe: "If thero is nothing
one way or the other in silver coin
ago, as olaimed by Mr. Mills, why
docs Massachusetts oppose its coin
age?" Now, this ia a poser. Why
does she? Don't overybody epeak at
onoo, but will some ,of those in tho
front row please rise and explain?
But hero is a much harder ono. "If
American coinage of silver lesson its
valuo abroad would not the damping
hero havo to bo oxohanged for some
of our products?" Tho class in
finanoo and political economy will
pleaso wrestle with this problem, boing
careful to avoid underestimating tho
value of tho ''dumping" and a reduc
tion in absurdum and when a solution
is reached try this ono. If your aunt
had ohancod to be of tho masculine
gondor wouldn't she havo been your
undo?"
This will necessitate anothor inter

SOME FACTS ABOUT 'CHILE.
ItCMiurrcs mid 1'rodHct of tho 1'luoUy
IW-puhllu.
Chile is a long, narrow strip of land
on the west side of South Amuricn, ex
tending from tho Andes mountains to
tho Pacific ocean. Its length is 2270
miles, or about as far as from Toxas ii
from Now York. Its width varies from
40 to 200 miles. Tho Andes oxtend in
parallel ranges tho entire length of tha
country. The area of Chile is computed
at 218,1)25 squ.iro miles and its popula
tion (2,:U0,2lHI in 1880) nt 3,000,000. Chile
lays claim to Patagonia and Terra del
Fuego, those bleak provinces at tho end
of tho South American continent which
aro peopled almost enti-cly by savages.
While tho country is mostly mountain
ous, thero aro fine alluvial lands around
tho lakes and in tho river valleys.
Its CoiinI It u t loll mid (liiMMiiiiirnt.
Tho present constitution was adopted
in lSStf and tho sovereignty is declared
to rcsido in tho iieople. Tho exercise ol
its function is delegated to three distinct
powers as in tho United States
legislative, executive and judicial. The
havo a senate and a chamber of dep
uties. Tho chamber of deputies con
tains 100 members, each elected for a
term of three years, on the principle ol
equal electoral districts with cumulative
voting and by a suffrage enjoyed by all
citizens who aro 21 years of age il
married and 25 years if unmarried. The
term of oflico of senators is nino years
Tho president is tho supreme oxecutivc
head of the government at a salary ol
3000 a year, or about $18,000. Then
aro five cabinet ministers, each with a
salary of $ 0000. Tho president is choset
for a term of five years. Ho is nol
eligiblo to re-election until a term shall
havo intervened. Tho ministers arc
permitted to tako part in all tho debates
in congress. Chile is divided in to fifteeii
provinces, viz: Atacama, Coqmmbo
Valparaiso, Aconcagua, Santiago
Colchaqua, Curico, Talca. Maule, Nnblo
Concepcion, Arauca, Valdivia, Llarqui
turo and Chiloe, and also tho settlement
of Magellan. Santiago is tho capital
on tho Mapocho river.
Justice's Slow Pace,
Americans used to quick trials hj
jury cannot understand how tho judi
cial investigation made by tho Chilean
government into tho Baltimore riot
drags so slowly. Trial by jury is un
known iu Chilo except in a modified
form to libel cases connected with the
press. Tho procedure in all Chilean
courts is based on tho fundamental
principles which obtain in all Latin
countries, and is as slow as an Americaii
court of equity. Tho supremo court
sits at Valparaiso and thero are thret
courts of appeals. Evidence is mostlj
taken by depositions in writing.
rrnductloii and Munuf.iettm-.
Chilo is rich in minerals. Among its
metals aro gold, silver, copper, lead
antimony, zinc, nickel, bismuth, iron
and quicksilver found in mines in tlit
northern section, whilo coal in great
abundance abounds in tho southern ter
ritory. Gypsum is found in immense
beds in tho province of Santiago. Cop
per forms 50 per cent, of tho metal ex
ports, whilo tho production of coal ii
from 4,000,000 to 0,000,000 tons annu
ally. Silver is exported in largo quanti
ties to England.
Tho manufactures of Chile are limited
to flouring mills, smelting works,
tanneries, breweries, roperies and soap
works.
Commorco of tho Country.
Since 1855 tho commerce of Chilo has
increased from -1,000,000 to 11,000,000
in 1888. The imports in 1855 wero a lit
tle over 11,500,000. Now they aro mora
than 10,000,000. Most of tho oxporte
go to England and most of tho imports
come from tho British isles. Of tho im
ports cattle forms tho largest single item
and some of this comes across tho Andes
from tho Argentine Republic.
Tho revenues of Chilo aro about 5,
000,000, and tho expenditures aro some
times a little less than tho receipts.
Her Armed Strength.
Tho Chileans aro a warlike people and
tho best soldiers on tho South Amorican
continent. Thoy had a long strugglo foi
independence. Since tho Spanish yoke
was thrown off in 1817 tho craft of tha
nation has had sonio stormy sailing.
From 2ar)l to 18S5 thero was peace and
then broke out the war with Peru, in
which Chilo was victorious. Her recent
revolution is fresh in tho minds of tho
peoplo.
Tho regular standing army of Chilo is
5000 men. Hor greatest muster roll,
shown by official records, was during
tho Balmaceda trouble and only footed
up about 12,000 inon. There aro in tho
republic less than a qnarter of a million
men, capable of bearing amis. The na
tional guard numbers 55,000.
Chile's navy is her pride. Her cruis
ers, tho Esmeralda, Capitan Prat, Val
paraiso, Almirante, Cochrane, were all
built in England and in Bneixl tlin mhi.
meut as good as money can buy. The
uuueans aro a maritime peoplo and next
to tho Americans limkn tint host ml
most daring navigators in tho western
hemisphere. In addition to their cruis
ers thoy havo a largo unmlmr of mer
chant vessols which can bo mado to do
good service in tho event of war. They
have largo shipyards and docks at Val
paraiso, which ia tho greatest port ou
