GAZETTE AND JOURNAL PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY ' N. E. COR. FIFTH AND SHIPLEY* STS. every eyehing printing company PRICE $1 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE WILMIXGTOX, THURSDAY, ocT. y.o. Our l>e War with Chili would bo a heavy price to pay for the blunder of sending I'at Egan to rep resent the United States at Santiago—a man whose only known claim to the ap pointment rested in his reputation as a dynamite Irishman and offensively per sona CnllL such a blatherskite grata to Great Britain. It is not long since American» jre popular beyond nil other visitor. In Chili; that they are others is ' rated unpopular beyond all doubtless directly attributable to Egan's maladministration of the high trust which had been confided to him. But the, Harrison administration appointed him with both eyes open and what's done 't be mended. Tho only do is to make the thing we can best of the situution, and, if w come, accept it rather than international disgrace. We do not imagine, however, that a resort to force will he must essary. If it be true that unarmed men belonging to a United States war vessel, wearing tho uniform of their country, going peace ably along the streets of Valparaiso, have been set upon by backed up by members of the local po lice, shot, stabbed, arrested, imprisoned and subsequently vindicated by conditional release; if this bo a fair mary of what has occurred, it is to be expected that the Chilian Junta will apologize, offer to make reparation and take steps to punish their assailants. But there is enough in the situation to cause it to be regarded armed mob an serious. So far known the only cause of grievance given by these American their assailants inhered in their nation ality made conspicuous by tlioi form. That uniform appears to have been to these Chilian red flag is to a bellicose bull. Perhaps this hostility of the Valparaiso slums is not reflected by those in authority; it is to be hoped that it is not and that tho Chilian provisional government will be ready to render to the United States such satisfacti .-•'D llll'll to •dies what a a proper investiga tion of the trouble shall show to be adequate. This it will be tho duty of our own government to insist on and to make plain to Chili that it afford, attitude of antagonism to this try. Only in the final event of tho fail ure of negotiation and possible arbitra tion will it be necessary to resort to treme measures, but if pacific should prove in the end unavailing the American people may bo trusted to make their power respected by severer measures. :annot a sister republic, to maintain a ex means " Republican Glasses," after inferen tially attributing the good crops cf the United States, including we presume the peach crop, and the short crops of Europe, to the "protection" of the Mc Kinley bill, tells the farmers that they "are purchasing farming utensils 25 per cent cheaper, sugar three cents a pound cheaper, binding twine (with a higher tariff) eight cents a pound cheaper, and everything else in nearly tho same pro portion." We quote this to writer straight on binding twine, lie has somehow imbibed the straugo de lusion that the duty on binding twine increased by the McKinley bill and has be«;n coddling that delusir mouths past. Tho fact is that binding among the few items placed the reduced list. This done to placate the farmers of the Republican states of the Binding twine l»w subject to cents per pound. ;t this I for twi by McKinley orth-went. under the old import duty of 3£ McKinley put it down to cents, but this not low enough to satisfy the Rcpubli farmers, free list, and they kicked when tho Senate got hold of McKinley's bill that body cut the rate dow seven-tenths «»f hI it put on the hard that to cent per pound, at stands. Of cou vliich it no tlie price of binding clo not know bow much—but it has fallen, just as tariff has beei gar has, been taken off.

Mr. J. M. Carson, tho Washington respondent of the Philadelphia Ledger, has been in Ohio for several days past looking partial eye and transmitting to his paper the results of his observations. Mr. Car son is credited with being, politically, Independent Republican, but it would be extremely difficult to conjec ture his politics from his letters. They are evidently the unbiased work of a careful, experienced and pains-taking observer, who is bent simply on tinding out all he can and telling the exact truth about the situation to the best of his ripe judgment, llis opinion is that McKinley will bo elected, but that tho legislature will be closo, with the chances very slightly in favor of the Republicans. Tho Democrats have entered upon the closing week of the campaign with a vim that has re vived the hopes of their party and alarmed the Republicans, especially ns to the legislative ticket. While there is a harmony of feeling and concert of action among Republicans generally to the head of their ticket, there is sidcrablc friction in some localities legislative candidates. There are some very close legislative districts, three of the doubtful tho ground with an im as having been last carried by majorities of 2, eight close that a change of 75 votes would make the least doubt ful one of them Democratic. There are districts in which a Bepubllca strong Democrat. Then, too, there is Republican disaffection in some local ities growing out of the reduction of wages. In Akron the manag large oatmeal mill, whose "protection" utsed 100 per cent by the Mc Kinley bill, joined other manufacturers in a trust to regulate the price of their product and then put down the of their workmen. Thero is also agricultural implement factory there which has recently cut dow establishment in which ex-Congrossman Conger, who is a member of the Repub ational committee is largely in At Canton, the home of Major McKinley, there is a largo watch manufactory which has reduced wages.

"Taking the figures of previous elections," writes Mr. Cars , "giving due cousidcrati« to the Republic recognizing existing conditions i affected localities, I believe the chances for securing the legislature arc favorable to the Republicans, cruts hi es, and dis d yet the Demo g'jod fighting chance to win."
