A Man who Could Nos Engage .hs Gov

People who hve svay back imagine that the govcrnox has wonderful power They think that he ruies the lAvs of trade, that when he says saasages and posasoes arc in demand, they are wanted by the people. They do not know that the gov esnor stands as other people ,n mortal dread of the landlord. and that the butcher says twenty-five cents nhsn he takes up his steak jass as tho0 A he had never been elected to office.
 The other day a well known farmer from the hills entered the governor $ othciai sanctuary and said:
 -Eovcznos, 1 have been iay,ng on for some time to see you. bu, as have had some trouble with a neighbos had to wait until he vas taken down."

nevertheless it must be admitted that the
buddhists are the only perfectly consist
ent opponents of Vivisection. And the
truth IS that no argument against that
practice can be maintained upon the ground
occupied by the English vivisection-
lists. There is no fright possessed by
man over the animal creation which does
not rest solely upon superior power. 1t is
right OF might alone, and has no connection
with ethics. Ethics condemns mans treat.
ment of the animal creation, and must do
so. The assumption that it is allowable to
sacrifice the pleasure and the lives OF an.
imals IN order to promote the well-being of
Man, is absurd. 1t has no foundation but
the conceit ard tyranny of Man. Tigers
have precisely the same moral right to eat
men that men have to eat oxen and sheen.
If Vivisection is to be condemned it must
be condemned without reference to the cues
tion of Mans right over the animal crea.
ton. All his treatment of animals is more
or less crnel and unjust, and the vivisec.
tlonlsts can even point to many practices
by which animals are habitually tortured,
even without the poor excuse of benefiting
SO called superior race. No doubt Vivi-
section is cruel, probably it is unnecessary,
but Man has so continually abused his
power over the brutes that when he at.
tempts to limit this kind of treatment his
own misdeeds in the past tend to embar-
rass and confuse his unwontedly humane

THE FIGHT AGAINST BRADLAUaH

Judgment has been given against Brad
laugh in civil suit instituted for the ex-
press purpose of forcing him into bank
ruptcy, and thus making his expulsion
from the House of Commons easier. This
and other suits were VIGOROUSLY instituted
on absurd technicalities growing out of his
contest with the House. 1t is no doubt
possible that he may be forced into bank
ruptcy, but assuredly it is Lot possible for
such man to be crushed and destroyed
In that way. The more apparent becomes
the presenting spirit of the hypocrites and
bigots who are pretending that the presence
of this honest infdel pollutes an assembly
more than half the members OF which are
VIGOROUSLY either skeptics, agnostics, or
infdels, the more strongly will the
popular feeling be evoked in support of
him. He may, in fact, be made popular
champion of the John Wilkes sort, by the
persistent attacks to which he is being
subjected, but he certainly will not be
driven out OF Parliament permanently by
any such tactics. Moreover the scandal
of all these proceedings will quickly COM
pei the abolition of all oaths whatever in
the House, and thus Bradlaugh will have
gained his end.

eott should fail to persuade Chile to modify
her terms, than that the country should
have been involved in so disastrous scan
dial as that; and therefore, though the
publication of Mr.. Trescott's instructions
seems at first sight to have been q vex-
atious blunder, it may after all be regarded
as very fortunate occurrence. There are
times when such publications do harm, and
especially is this the case in war, but
here all that has resulted is the failure of
an intervention yhioh from the nature Of
the case could not have been successful.

THE SOUTH AMERICAN SITUATION.

The letters and dispatches transmitted to
Congress by the State Department, con-
corning the South American situation,
show that since Frelinghuysen went into
Office, and Prescott went to Peru, the Gov.
eminent has made persevering efforts to
procure modification CT the Chilean
terms, but without any success. 1t cannot
be doubted that this failure is largely at.
tributable to Mr.. Blaine's extravagant
policy, whereby he not only failed to effect
anything, but brought the United States
into contempt. Had Frelinghuysen been
in the Cabinet from the first it is quite
probable that the quiet but steady pressure
of the United States Government in Chile
would have had the effect of inducing her
to moderate her demands. Nothing could
be in better taste than Frehng huysen's dis
patch in which he points out the probable
consequences OF exorbitant demands upon
Peru. Chile, however, thanks to Mr.
Blaine's diplomacy, has of late become
very much inflated with self-esteem, and
has for the time being ceased to be capable
of recognizing her own interests. The
course upon which she has determined is
very sure to bring its own punishment,
however. By insisting upon money in.
demnity which it is VIGOROUSLY beyond the
power of Peru to pay, and by also insist
ipr, <arritOr,al Cb,Io
compel the dissolution Of Peru, and in
the nature of things she herself will
have to administer the estate. II will
devolve upon her to do all the work which
true craftsmanship would have transferred
to the Peruvians. She must, for her own
safety, govern the whole country. The
Peruvians, deprived of autonomy, and
bankrupt, will be desperate, and Chile
will have to encounter state of anarchy
which must absorb all her surplus energies
and resources for several years. Thus all
the advantage accruing from her conquest
will be thrown away, and when at length
the balance sheet is drawn, it will be found
that the conqueror has injured himself
only less than his victim. This is the
inevitable outcome of the policy upon
which Chile appears to have decided.
The United States, however, has no re-
sponsibility in the affair. Interference
after the final collapse of the Peruvian
people must have been futile unless it had
been made with sword in hand. 1t would
be impossible for any foreign power to
restore Peru now to the condition of
civilized Government. 1t is Chiles interest
to get as much as possible from Peru, and
to pay for it as eheaply as possible. As it
is, however, she will pay terribly high
price for what will prove in the end not
worth the having. Under the circum.
stances it seems scarcely worth the while
of our Government to keep Prescott down
there, for he evidently cannot effect any,
thing. Since the Chileans are blindly OBJ.
stinate it would be as we'll to leave them
to the untrammeled consequences of their
own rapacity and shortsightedness.
