CHILE GROWS sAUcY.

The Chilean Government, it is reported
has notified the naval officers at Callao
that henceforth their mail must pass
through the hands of the Chilean authori-
ties. This is construed as an intimation
that the national existence OF Peru must
not be recognized any longer, or that Chile
intends to supervise all communications
between the United States and the Pc.
ruvian people. Until we know more of the
circumstances it would not be just to con-
clude that this action was meant to be a
deliberate insult to the United States. It
seems, however, quite possible that it is
one of those CALLING pieces of arrogance
which great and victorious powers are apt
to exhibit towards their feebler neighbors.
And it must be confessed that if Chile re.
CARDS herself as more powerful country
than the United States, we have only our
selves to thank for her sudden access of
pride. The grim and incontrovertible fact
that we do not possess navy capable of
teaching even Chile useful lesson in case
of need, must be recognized, though Jere
Black seems to have forgotten it strangely
when he suggested that Great Britain
might be induced to release the Irish sus.
poets Through fear" 1t would certainly
puzzle better lawyer than Black to say
what Great Britain has to be afraid of
under the circumstances. When Chile can
insult US with IMMUNITY we can hardly be
in a condition to strike terror into the
heart of the first naval power in the world.
And it is lamentably true that even if in
this case it turns out that Chile has in.
suited us, it will be very difficult to
discover what we are "going to do about
it p OF course we could declare war
against Chile, and in the course of six
months Or year we could build or buy
navy capable of whipping her. But
while this navy was still in The womb of
the future she would be making things
very unpleasant for US, ard by the time
we were ready for her she would have
destroyed so much property that we should
have to annex both Chile and Peru in or
der to indemnify ourselves.

in service, and as the contracts were de-
clared not binding whenever the Courts
were resorted to, the people who had fur.
nished the money found themselves heavily
muloted in the end. The same kind of
thingh as often been tried in this State

ments on finding that wages here were
much higher than at the East OR wherever
else they came from, and they have either
married or gone into service at the market
rates, and left their employers in the lurch,
We are justified in saying that this has
been the almost universal experience of
those who have tried the experiment of i'm
porting servants, and therefore we do not
see any ground for concluding that it
would be practicable to make success OF
the business, no matter how it was man.
aged. The one fact that it is impossible
to compel the ful6llment of such contracts
is enough to make them of no effect. OF
course there are here and there exceptions
to the rule, but we have encountered a
great many cases of the same kind, and it
seems to us that they all ended in one way.

MoLTKE's LEAVE OF ABSENCE.

1t is said that Marshal Moltke has been
granted an indefinite leave of absence, and
that this is interpreted as meaning that the
German Government anticipates long con-
tinuance of peace. Such construction,
however, may take too much for granted.
The military situation in Germany is al.
ways in SO advanced a state of readiness
for every conceivable emergency that the
absence Of Moltke may mean ve:y much
less than is supposed. That great organ
izer has not left much to depend upon in
dividuality. He has long since committed
all his plans to writing, has arranged all
his combinations, has provided against
every contingency, has in fact built so per-
feet machine that it works automatically,
and can be relied upon even in the absence
of the inventor. If he should die to-mor-
row-and he ia SO old that his death may
occur at any moment-it would still be
possible for his country to fight campaigns
which he had thought out, and to avail
herself at every step of his genius and FORE
sight. The truth is that he has brought
the military organization to such pitch of
perfection that he is able to absent himself
indefinitely without danger, and those who
conclude that the peace of Europe is as
sured because he is about to take holi-
day may be very far out in their reckoning.

IMPORTING sERvANrs

The San Francisco Bulletin, answering a
correspondent who suggests that white do.
mestic servants could be imported to take
the place of the Chinese, seems to think
the plan feasible, and says "a servant girl
worth having would be quite willing to
have the cost of her passage deducted in
installments from her wages" Fortu.
nately there are presidents to guide us in
this business. The experiment OF import.
ing servant girls has been very thoroughly
tried, and it has almost invariably broken
down, for reasons which seem fatal to any
arrangement of the kind. In many of the
British colonies special organizations have
at different times undertaken to carry out
shiploads of domestics, and contracts have
been drawn by which they bound them.

had paid back the cost of transportation

wives for settlers, they could not be kept

ARCTIC SPECULATION.

George Kennon, the Siberian traveller,
has given up all hopes of the rescue of De
Long and his party. He thinks, from his
personal knowledge of the country and its
resources, that the explorers must have
persisted within three weeks of the time
when the two seamen left them to find
relief He also thinks that the people of
the Rodgers were probably burned out of
the ship so suddenly as to be able to save
little or nothing, and that they may there
fore be in desperate straits if not relieved
speedily. The grounds of Melvilles re-
cent allegation, that he still hoped to find
De Long alive, have not been made public,
but unless he has received some positive
intimation to that effect it certainly would
seem almost impossible for the missing
party to have survived until now. Their
silence alone in fact appears nearly conclu-
sive as to their fate.

THE GARFIELD MEDICAL SERVICES.

The minority report of the House Com
mittee on the medical services rendered to
President Garfield is captious and unreas-
enable as regards the amount to be paid
the physicians, but by no means so in its
protest against the changes in the status of
the army surgeons. Whatever arrange.
ments it may be proper to make with re-
gard to these latter should be made in
different way. Congress should not under
take to interfere with the direction OF mill
tary affairs by such methods. The criti-
cism upon the extent of the compensation,
however, is not Just. The physicians can.
not be measured by ordinary standards in
a case Of this kind, and to make Mrs. Gar.
field pay the bills would be so contempt.
