THE BOMB ARDMENr OF LIMA.

The proposed bombardment OF Lima by
the Chleans is cruel and wanton act of
barbarism, and it shows that the war be-
tween Chile and Peru has reached stage
at which Intervention is demanded most
urgently IN the name of humanity and
civilization. 1t is in our opinion very dis.
credisable to the United States that this
useless and bloody contest should have
been witnessed SO alphabetically, and if the
bombardment Of Lima is allowed to take
place without an energetic protest, the
devastation wrought will entail lasting dis
grace, not only upon Chile, but upon our
Government. 1t has been apparent for
some time that the war between these
powers was wholly without compensation,
and that it could orly result in the prob.
ably permanent Impeachment OF all of
them. Bolivia was long since exhausted,
and though Chile and Peru con.
tinue to fight it is well known
that they are rapidly approaching the
end Of their resources, while they have ac-
cumulated debts which would keep them
poor for FIVE centuries even If they were
four times as progressive and enlightened
as they are. The bombardment of capital |
cities is an event never to be justified 1t
is brutal destruction of the tokens and
fruits OF civilization, and it Justly exposes
those who sanction such proceedings to the
stigma of barbarism and savagery. The
United States has it in its power to pre- |
vent the destruction of Lima, and it ought
to exert itself for that purpose. The
threatened city, moreover, contains many
sdiices of great architectural pretensions,
IS well as valuable antiquities, and for
these reasons alone it would be an outrage
% abandon it to destruction We sincerely
lope that the intelligence of the Chilean
purpose will move our Government to ex-
ut itself for the protection of Lima, and
or the adjustment of the matters in dis
ute between the belligerents generally.

THE AFGHAN NEWS

A dispatch to Simls from Candahar
justifies the conclusion that the British
forces in that part of Afghanistan have
once more been overcome by the treachery
OF the inhabitants and their own foolish
confidence in the permanence of the sit
uation, and that massacre has DESTROYED
at least one detachment, under General
Burroughs. The suddenness and vague
ness of the news shows that the catastrophe
was unexpected and unprepared for. 1t is
scarcely possible that any force of dis.
ciplined Europeans could be apnihilated in
fair fight by an Asiatic attack, and the pre-
sumption is that the disaster resembles in
its general features those which attended
the war of 1910. The British commanders
and diplomatists have been warned often
enough OF the insecurity of all arrange.
ments with the Afghans, and they have
had practical experience of the uncertainty
OF those arrangements of character to
convince the most obtuse, but it looks as
though they had after all been surprised
once more, and that they would be COM
PEELED to undertake another Afghan cam
paign, probably to as little purpose as the
previous ones.

THE MAINE FUSION.

Whatever effects the fusion between the
Democrats and Greenbackers in Maine may
have upon the politics of that State, it must
certainly operate as warning and example
to the rest of the country. 1t serves to
show how utterly false and spurious are
the pretenses of the National Democracy
on behalf of an honest currency. In
Maine, as everywhere, the Democrats are
ready to fling their avewed convictions to
the wind for the sake of office There is
no faction so obscure or ridiculous, SO
irrational or outrageous, as to repel these
political soldiers of fortune when it seems
to them that an alliance may bring them
increased chances of victory. Their
promises and their pledges are on such &C.
casions repudiated without the least hest
tation, and they parade their sham e
with brazen hardihood. 1t does not seem
credible that even in Maine SO barefaced
and Impudent step can prove remunera-
tive. 1t is true that last year the COM
bined Democratic and Greenback votes
were 69.25S against Republican vote of
6S, 766, which gives the fusionists a small
majority. But it must be realized that
last year many Republicans were led away
by the Greenback theories, there being no
vital national issue in controversy, and
that then the attempt of the Democrats to
steal the State had not been perpetrated.
The combined influence of Greenbackisn
and Democratic perfdy and inconsistency
will certainly reduce the Greenback vote
several thousands 1t is not to be expected
that Republicans will leave their party
this year to vote that hybrid ticket, and
therefore last years figures do not Justify
any alarm for the situation, or warrant
belief that the fusion can save either of the
factions from defeat. Outside of Maine, |
moreover, the spectacle of this conspicu- |
Gus dishonesty on the part of the Demo
Gratis will drive from their ranks the sim |
cere and honorable independent voters
who for several years past have had hank
erlngs that way. The idea of reform un-
der Democratic auspices must seem very
faint IN reflective minds under the opera
ton OF such fusions as this of Maine
In fact the Democratic party is very likely
to lose ten votes in otlsr States for every
one that it gains in Maine, and after all it
will not carry the latter State.
