THE DrvocP47yC IFGJSL17rRE.

Now that a Democratic Legislature has been
elected, the promises of reform so proiu'ely
made by the Albany Convention are worthy OF
serious attention. Voters were assured that
such Legislature would give them better tax
alton and assessment laws, a railroad commits
sion. a law checking discrimination III railroad
rates, home rule in cities, and revised excise
law. Besides pledge was made that the pro-
posed amendments to the Constitution proyld-
ing for free canals should be submitted to the
people 1t was thus with a free hand that the
Committee on Resolutions wrote the party plat
form.
The energies of even a model Legislature
would be strained to carry out so elaborate a
programme Who will say that the successful
execution of purposes 50 large can reasonably
be looked for from a Legislature elected so
hcedcssly as this one WAS, when there was plac-
tically no discussion whatever of the important
measures mentioned in the Democratic plat
form? Can genuine reform legislation he eX-

ter were elected, oftcntimes by the mcreSt

OUR DIPLOMACY IN SOUTH AMERICA

QUIZ DIiLOWAC1 ~ SOUIH AMERICA.
The fact cannot he overlooked that our
recent diplomatic dealings with Chill and Peru
have not been of nature calculated to en-
nance the dignity and prestige of this country
or to increase its influence in SOuth American
affairs. New Ministers were sent to both these
hostile republics a few months ago. General
Hurlbut, of Illinois, succeeded Mr.. Christiancy
at Lima, and General Fitzpatrick of New
Jersey, took Mr.. Osborn's place at Santiago
When these new officials reached their rcspec
tive fields of duty the war in Peru was prac-
tcally ended. The capital of the country and
its chief sea-pOrts were in possession of the
conquering CHILEAN forces The only question
at issue WAS the terms upon which Chill
would withdraw her troops and sign a
treaty of peace. There were but two
positions which the United States could take
with fairness and credit in relation to this

A new danger is in store for the innocent house
holder who has the misfortune upon going home ut
night to find his house invaded by burglars.
Heretofore his life has been in danger in case the
intruder failed TO make Il precptate retreat, or he
has been compelled TO slip quietly away and give
notice 10 the police. Now however if he is so bold
as TO attack and bring down his man, that is only
the beginning of his trouble. If the next morning
he should be foolish enough to hasten to the nearest
police court to prefer charge of burglary against
his prisoner, the chances are according to one of
the latest decisions of the judicial bench that he
will be locked up in the House of Detention for Wit
ncsscs Sucn case occurred last week. The
burglar lcapcd from a window broke his leg, and
was taken to a hospital where he is sure of excel
lent care and treatment The man whose rooms he
broke into was unable to give bonds for his appear

In view of the statements made at the recent Anti
Vaccination Congress held at Cologne, the layman
may well ask whether there is anything in medical
science that he can safely regard as settled. few
years ago the whole world believed vaccination to
be an enicacious preventive of smallpox just as
firmly as it believed quinine to be n good remedy for
chIlls and fever But now arise host of
earnest and honest people who assert that
vaccinated persons more liable to the con-
tagion of smallpox than the unyaccinated, to say
nothing of the other forms of blood poison which
they may absorb with the virus. Bat this is not
the worst of it. These agitatCrs do not rest upon
assertions. They have appalling array of hos
pital statistics to back mp their position. As
far as figures go, and figures must in
tho end settle the question, it must
be admitted that up to this time they have the best
of the controversy they have provoked. Mean
WHILE why should the discussion he confined to
England and the Continent of Europe Let us
have an intelligent examination of our American
hospital reports. If the Anti-Vaccinationists are
right the sooner the public know it the better; if
wrong the their error is eStabli he'd and the
PAINFUL doubts they have awakened are set to rest
the better.

1t detracts somewhat from the recent de-
fence of the Building Bureau to find that the
inspectors have declared more than fifty
buildings unsafe since the Grand-st. tumble
down. The defence of the Bureau was that
the number of inspectors was so small that
they could not possibly do the work required
of them. That seemed entirely reasonable,
5nasmuch as the average number of buildings
which each inspector would have to examine
haily would be one hundred. The objection
still holds good to the extent that this force
Is clearly seen to be inadequate, but it
does not account for the fact that the inspect
prs have been able to show much greater
activity since the Grand-st. massacre than they
showed before. The fair presumption appears

The King of Spain seems resolved to show the
world that he has something more in him than goes
to the making of bespectacled scholar, or even
romantic and afiectiouate bridegroom. According
ia the Madrid journals it is he who is secretly urg

chase Gibraltar from England. Certain bankers Of
Madrid are said TO have offered 81 900 900 to head
the subscription If England will not sell the Key

herself up again into her old rank among European
Powers She is in exceptionally vigorous state

in France, owing TO the ravages of the phylloxera
last summer, has enormously increased the demand
for Spanish wines, the exports this year amounting
