Chill. Holivia, Peru.

A new stage has been reached in the strug-
gle Of the three South American republics.
Reused 10 tardy action, the Peruvian iron
clads have broken the blockade Of Iquique
and other ports, and, by counter demonstra-
tions against Valparaiso have forced tho
CHILEAN fleet to withdraw for the protection
Of its own coast.
Snecrcd at, at first, az probably guano
speculation, the nitrate tax quarrel OF Chill
and Bolivia has quickly developed into n
war OF three nations.
The impetuosity Of Chill in declaring war
against Peru is a sign Of the venom with
which this struggle is likely TO be carried
on Peru had offered 10 mediate between
Chill and Bolivia but az her proposed basis
was the withdrawal OF CHILEAN troops from
Bolivia. the CHILEAN Congress held this
proposed mediation 10 be threat OF
armed Intervention on terms impossible
for Chill, and forthwith also de-
clared war against Peru. Bolivia
had month before, In n decree issued by
President HILARIN DAzA, expelled all Chilli
ans from her domains on n ten days notice,
allowing them TO take "only their
private papers, baggage, and articles OF
personal use" while war embargo
was laid on all other property OF
Chilians in Bolivia, including mining
works and stock, which embargo is t.
be changed to outright coniiscation "should
the kind OF hostilties carried on by Chill
require energetic measures on the part OF
Bolivia" This Bolivian decree Of March /
| declared void all transfers Of Gillian prop
erty made since the previous sth Of Novem-
Der, the date when Bolivia pronounced the
treaty Of 1874 nulity.
Vindictivcncss Of spirit then, is not lack
ing to make the war fierce one. II has
however, been suggested that as Chill and
Bolivia have cacha population of only about
two millions, and Peru Of about two and
thrce-quarter millions, there are not people
enough in all for much of war; but the
great and fierce struggle Of Paraguay
against her two great neighbors SHOULD
dispel that illusion. Both Chill and PERI
| have powerful navies which could do mucl
damage in bombarding each others ports,
Might not friendly intervention still aver
the war Peru seemed to Chill an interested
party, and as such her mediation bccam,
to Chill an evaporation; it might be other

posuros shat would inevitably follow a
change. and especially bring to the blaze OF
day the corruption and rascalitics that have
been practiscd in the Treasury.
The abuses in the Department Of Justice
and indeed in all the others, will go on until
they arc required tn estimate specifically
for every item Of expenditure, aud until the
appropriation Is made accordingly, item by
item. No discretion Of any kind should be
permitted The law ought to be strict,
and strictly enforced. This Is the practice
in England, and tho supplies are there
voted with perfect knowledge OF how
they are to be applied, to penny, and
there is no possibility OF divertng the pub
lie money from one object to another. The
experiment was partially tried on the APP
preparations for the navy, and with sue
cess. in the last Congress. OF course such II
change involves more labor at the start
than is now needed, but the Committee of
Appropriations has been enlarged and
members are paid by tho year. Millions
would be saved by this method, and it will
be tried II the Democrats mean TO do their
duty honestly. They are In power and have
the responsibility.

Tho attempt to remove Mr. HENRY RIDDLE
from the Office Of Superintendent Of Schools
in this city because he has announced his
belief in Spiritualism and published book
on the subject, is unjust and wrongful,
against American principles, the Constitu-
ton, and the rights OF the citizen, in that 1t
would deny the doctrine of political equality
and introduce religious tests among the
qualifications for Office.
During the long period in which Mr.
RIDDLE has held his present Office, Few
people, we suppose, have known anything
about his theological views-have had any
notion whether he was Methodist a Pos
Twist Presbyterian, an Irvingite, Bap-
fist, free thinker, High Church
man, Low Churchman, Broad
Churchman, No Churchman. n Second Adj
ventst dixie the Rev DR.. Tyne, Sr., and
the Rev. DIR. TYING, Jr), or a Unitarian. To
the people Of the city ii Is enough that n
man In their service attends properly to his
business Had he been Roman Cath
ollie, and turned TO be Protestant,
there would have been a great rumpus
over any attempt to turn him out Of
Office on that account Had he changed
nation, or prevenient grace, or the Witch Of
Endor, he would not, for that reason, have
lost any OF his political or personal rights,
or been declared ineligible to occupy any po-
sition In the public service.
The Office of Superintendent OF Schools in
this city is not Il theological Office. There is
no theological test provided for those whU
may fill Il.
There is no other charge than that Of
Spritualism made against Mr.. RIDDLE by
those who are now demanding his removal
from Office. He Is not charged with inca
pacity, or with immortality. or with drunk
enness. Ii is not charged that he has lost
any OF the qualities that he has displayed
during his long occupancy OF his present
Office.
There Is too much fudge and blgotry in
the discussion over Mr.. RIDDLES case In
truth, there is but one thing TO be taken
into account Does he properly and faith.

perntcndent of Schools Is he compe'

John sherman-IIis Next step Toward
the HresidencY.

The one formidable competitor against
Gen. GRANT for the Republican nomination
TO the Presidency is JOHN SHERMAN OF Ohio.
This has been apparent for some time past;
and II is becoming more and more clear.
Whatever degree of merit Mr.. SHERMAN
may or may not be entitled to In the matter,
the Identification OF his name, as Secretary
OF the Treasury. with tho resumption Of
specie payments is an element OF strength
possessed by none Of his Republican rivals
for the nomination. 1t Is useless for the
politicians of any party to wilfully close
their eyes TO this obvious truth.
Then JOIN SHERMAN is just as bitter and
stanch partisan, just as much a believer
In the spoils system, as Gen. GRANT With
bold and reckless hand he would take down
the bars to the public crib, and let in his fol-
lowers. They could not gorge themselves
more, even under GRANT himself Besides,
SHERMAN is cunning. and If he has ever
filled his own pockets, as has often been al
legged, he has not been detected in the act,
nor has the plumber been traced. At the
same time the cNclusveness of his affection
for JoHN SHERMAN has never been doubted.
By running JOHN SHERMAN, instead Of
GRANT, the Republicans would get rid Of
the dangerous drawback which exists in the
popular feeling against a third term. This
is an unknown quantity; there is no way to
ascertain its exact force in advance; and in a
close election, such as we are likely TO have,
it may prove decisive OF the result. Pru-
dence dictates that such a danger should be
Stunned. II is natural, therefore, for this
reason, that SHERMAS's strength as COM
pared with GRANTS should steadily in
crease up to the time OF the nomination.
II is said that Mr. SHERMAN proposes 10
run as the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor Of Ohio. This would be shrcwd
move. II elected, he would almost inevita-
bly, be the Republican candidate for Prcsi-
dent. HAYES would never have been thought
of for President II he had not first been
elected Governor OF Ohio
And it is by no me-. certain. with all
the influence Of the Fe,-,a al Administration
to back him. that Mr.. SHERMAN would not
be elected Governor OF Ohio OF course, Mr.
HAYES, who Is TO him as a twin brother
would appoint some friend Of SHERMAN e
succeed him in the Treasury Department
In his ambitious schemes Mr.. SHERMAN is
very strongly supported and will continue
~ be 10 the end.
