His Thrilling Experience in the Peruvian Tor
pedO Service.
A resident of Baltimore has received
letter from Paul Boynton, dated at
Lima. Mr.. Boynton had been in the
service Of the Peruvian Government for
several months, engaged in improving
its torpedo service, and writes graphic
description of the disasters which befell
the Peruvians at the hands of the Chill
ian forces. The following extracts from
Mr.. Boynton's letter will be read with
interest

A PREDICTION VERIFIED ONLY IN
PART.


From Speech of the Hon. Mahlon DiCkeBon
in the Emitted States Senate In 1921
Sir, the time may come when our
country will be filed with an ar ny Of
pensioners always the friends of arbi-
trary power. The time will come when
we shall have numerous host of off.
GERS, civil and military in every depart.
ment of the Government, spread over
our immense territory, looking up to the
President as the source of power and
emolumenta. The time will come when
luxury and extravaganza will Danish
from our country every species Of repub.
lican virtue; and the time will come,
fear, when this Senate, will be no more
than the shadow of what it was intend
ed to be by those who framed our Con.
stitution; when it will be no check upon
the Executive; when it shall be as in.
significant as the boasted Senate of Rome
in tie time of Tiberius. The whole pat
ronage Of Government will centre in the
President, and that patronage under
our present system of choosing electors;
will become a machine of irresistible
power. The management Of this power
will become a matter Of science. He
will be deemed the greatest politician
and the ablest minister who can, with a
given portion of patronage, produce the
greatest effect. The force of this power
will be applied to effect the purpose of
ambition, with as much economy, and
skill as water is applied to the Wheel or
that of steam to the engine.
