The New War in South America.

The Pacific coast Of South America is now
the scene OF war more momentOus than
any that has been waged in that part Of the
world since the crushing Of LOPEZ in Para
quay, and which may yet call four-iliths of
the continent TO arms.
Five years ago, Chill and Bolivia made
treaty designed TO he the settlement OF
boundary dispute which had lasted Tor
quarter OF a century. Scantily settled and
for the most part barren, the border region
between the TWO countries seemed at first OF
little consequence, except that Bolivia need
ed all the seacoast she could obtain. But
the disputed land gradually developed a
valuable trade in its guano and nitrate de-
posts; and accordingly, in 1866, treaty
was made for a joint regulation Of the re-
gion. Such an arrangement was, of course,
a perilous makeshift; hence the treaty of
1874 drew, instead, definite boundary,
while at the same time IL prescribed that
the nitrate works at Antofogasta and other
points left on the Bolivian side Of the new
line, being chiefly established by Gillian
capital, and managed by Gillian citizens,
should be freed from all export duty for
twenty-five years.
Last year, for the first time since its rati-
flcation, this treaty provision was directly
violated by the Bolivian Government, which
laid duty Of ten cents per quntal ON all
nitrates exported from its domains. The
plea for this admitted breaking OF the COW
enant was not anything that Chill had done
or failed To do under it, but that the treaty
itself had been entered into with Chill by
revolutionary Government, whose acts the
present Bolivian Government considered
void. The owners OF the nitrate works re-
fused to pay the tax, which amounted to
about 800 900, pleading the treaty; and on
the approach Of the Bolivian collectors 10
arrest them they took refuge on board a
Gillian irOnclad which lay in Antofogasta
harbor.
Chill sent vigorous protest 10 the Bollv-
fan Government against this conduct. In
IcspQnse the Government at La Paz, with
great display Of courtesy, temporarily sus-
pended the duty but at tho same time
claimed as Government property all the
nitrate deposits, for the working Of which
the Gillian company had laid out great
sums. The rejoinder Of Chill was swift and
decisive. On the 18th of February last, a
day celebrated as the anniversary Of the
Chilan victory over Spanish domination at
Chacabuco in 1877, public meetings de-
nounccd the act Of Bolivia as one Of bad
f6hh and spoliation, and demanded redress
Ia arms. Already, however, the Gillian
Government had recalled Ms Minister and
sent forward both ships and troops to the
scene. The ironclads Admiral Cochrane
and Bernardo O'Higglns hurried to join
their mate in Antofogasta harbor, and with
them went small force Of CHILEAN regulars,
who, on the l4th Of February, landed and
occupied the town without firing gun The
next day the O'HigGins took possession of
tho port OF MeIilloncs, while the land forces
excessively occupied Caracoles, Cobija,
CGluma. and Tocapila. In a word. the en-

We should be very glad to adopt the
course proposed by our correspondent, but
unfortunately, 1t is not practicable. Mr..
COOPER Is n public officer elected by the
people To a conspicuous and responsible
post. In this post his official acts are pub
lie property 1t is the duty Of the press to
comment upon them, and it Is impossible
to balance against his faults the services
which his venerable father. DR.. PETER
COOPER, has rendered to the world. When
the Mayor OF New York outragcs justice,
violates the law, and madly attempts TO
override the fundamental rights OF citizens,
his fathers wise and noble example stimu-
lates and commands the faithful critic 10
condemn rather than TO ignore.

The Evening Post a Convert.

We are glad To see that our ancient and
withcrcd contemporary, the Evening Post,
is now decidedly in favor OF having the
streets Of the city thoroughly cleaned.
Heretofore when We have proposed to put
the street cleaning into the hands OF one
competent man, with the requisite author
ity and the requisite means TO do the work,
the Erenin0 Post has seemed to prefer keep
ing the authority and duty divided, 80 that
nothing effective could be done.
For few days our evening contemporary
tried picking up handluls Of dirt and throw
ing them in every direction; but finding
that the dirt blew right back into its own
eyes, the experiment has been abandoned
In reference to the certainty OF the pun
ishment Of wrongdoers. the Post expresses
confidence not warranted by its own cx-
perience.

Before the end OF the TALMAGE business

put on the stand to shed darkness on the opera
tons Of the defendants alleged mind. Yester-
day q non-expert witness was asked whether
he thought TALNAoE knew he was,telling nbe Mt
the time he told them. His reply is worth
quoting: think Dr. TALMAoE got so accus-
toned to dealing In hypcrbole and extrava-
CANA that he WIS not conscious when he was
not saying just exactly the truth"
Here is a solemn warning for other preachers
who are tempted to talk big" We suppose all

scous or unconscious. ought to DO u disqualin-
cation for the work Of tho clergy.

The Herald and Us.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Herald,
is rather profuse aud gushing in its SYM
pathy for its downright and courageous
contemporary, THE SUM- in the disappoint-
ment which has befallen II IN the perverse
action Of the Mayor OF its choice"
" ROBERT" said a neighbor, how much
did your pig weigh" Well" was the re-
ply, " he didn't weigh as much as l ex-
pectcd, and nerer thought he rOUid."
ROBERTS answer Just about expresses our
feelings in reference to Mayor COOPER. We
thought We acted wisely TO take the chances
with him-attended with all their uncer-
tainty-to defeat the one-man power We
act on the same principles in denouncng
him now when he Is trying TO enact the part
Of petty despot. The Herald frankly says;
I'VE marched side by side with Tur srs until Mr.
CooPTR nominated but then discovered reasons
for believing that the selection was much dictated by
power behind him as that OF his competitor Mr. seHKLL
So after the nomination the Herald OPP
posed Mr.. COOPER.
Now 1t was the well-grounded apprehen-
sion from the past history OF our esteemed
contemporary that il would pursue just
such n changeable course after the nomina-
tion, toward the candidate It should have
recommended, which prevented the nomi-
nation Of a far better independent candi-
date than Mr. COOPER.
We trust that before another municipal
election arrangements may be perfected for
the return OF the proprietor Of the Herald to
this country, and that we may enjoy the
felicity Of supporting him for Mayor
Besides, his presence here is sadly needed
to give attention TO his evening journal. II
