THE GILLIAN A

The treaty of peace between Chill
and Peru which has been signed and
ratified by both governments is es-
sentially a one sided affair, as may be
seen by the following brief synopsis
of any comment on the treaty which
we find in the San Francisco Chron-
icle of a recent date: "Ths seaport of
africa and the provinces of Tacna and
Tarapaca are not absolutely coded by
Peru to Chill, but the terms of the
cession for ten years are such that at
the end of that time they are sure to
fall to Chill forever. When the ten
years expire the question which of
the two nations shall acquire perma-
nent right of occupation is to be de-
cided by a vote Of the people then in
the provinces, the majority to rule,
but whichever State by such vote Sc
cures the territory must pay the
other $40, 600, 600. 1t is thought the
majority are now Chilean gatherers
of nitrate, and it is known that the
Chileans are constantly fiocking to
the inter beds within these provin-
ces. Moreover the treaty comedies to
Chill the right to quarter her army
there till Peru shall have become
settled politically, and when the
army is no longer needed it can be
disbanded in these provinces, when
the soldiers will be quickly convert
ed into nitrate miners and perma-
nent settlers. There can be little
doubt, from these conditions, that
Chill will permanently secure africa,
Tacna and Tarapaca. the inter beds
of which are believed to be worth
half a billion dollars"

It is cheering to note there is no
longer any doubt that the coalition
lists got the worst of it in the recent
Virginia election. The returns are
not yet complete, but all the rrinci-
pal counties in point of population
and political and social influence
have been heard from. These returns
cover all sections Of the state and
show the drift of political sentiment
so plainly that there can be no mis-
taking the result. Malone has been
beaten in his strongholds, and where
ever he made the most distinctive is
sue with his opponents.

THE DEMANDS OF ROYALTY

1t is estimated that the browning of
the Gar will cost the people Of Rus
STA about $40, 0OO, 900, a sum which
that virtually bankrupt country is
really unable to pay. But royalty de-
manded the sacrifice and the toll and
drudgery of the plebians are mortg-
aged to furnish it. To one brought
up under the free institutions of this
country the expenditure of such a
sum for a ceremony which should
not cost the people, cent, looks fool
ish if not criminal. Still, we find all
the correspondents of the American
newspapers who were permitted to
take part in the imposing ceremonies,
were carried away by the hurrah and
glitter of the occasion. AS the World
says there is a too.kissing air
about all their dispatches-a
worshlpful acknowledgment of the
grandeur of absolutism which shows
that the reigning Gesler has only to

admiration and the crooked knee of

ported that the main tent is already

and the canvass was consumed like a
flash. There is no loss Of life, For
%tunately the animals were in the tent

injured. Had they been in the tent
which was burned there would have
been a considerable number of wild
beasts roaming about the streets now.

New YORK, June 5.-May 2srd the
artificial flower factory, at 100, Green
street, owned by Mrs. Louise Gui-
aeau, = Frenchwoman, aged 81 years,
was destroyed by fire. Mrs. Guideau
ran up the stairs when the fire broke
out and warned the workmen and
ether occupants. She alone failed to
escape. She was much praised for
her heroic self sacrifice. At the cor
oner's inquest to-day it was learned
that she had tried to induce her
workmen to burn the house to obtain
insurance, as she was financially en-
barassed. It is believed that falling
to induce her workmen to fire the
building she did it herself.

THE QUEENS CONDITION.

A cable special to a New York
journal, under date of the 2Sth ult.,
| does not hold out much hope of the
Queens ultimate recovery from her
late accident. She is at present quite
i'll, which is charged to the results Of
her fall at Windsor Castle. 1t seems
she has for years suffered from govt.
as a result Of liberal living and insult
ficient exercise, and the membranes Of
her joints have probably become
more or less inflamed. Tneknee sprain
while troublesome enough in itself,
was only secondary to the jar to
which the hip joint was subjected by
the fall. This jar led directly to
sciatic troubles, from which the
royal patient has suffered terribly.
After all lighter mean of relief had
been tried, the physicians were COM
PEELED to resort to hypodermic in
jections of morphine in order to se-
cure to Her Majesty any relief what
ever. On many occasions, after great
pain and loss of sleep, she has been
temporarily quite beyond control.
The fall. sprain and Inflammation
allowed the govt, whose e~xistenceand
tendency has long been known to as
cend to the hip, where the sympathy
of the seiatic nerve was at once ex-
cited. Usually in a person who in
other respects does not possess excel
lent health, this lie the fatal point in
the govt. That the physicians be.
lieve this may be the cas- with the
and that they fear almost i'm |
mediate danger of a fatal result is be-
yond question. Many minor. acts
end to corroborate this impression,
not the least of which is the great
grief John Brown affected after the
fall on the stairway and his evident
fear that the accident might have a
serious outcome than could pos
have been ~foreseen from any
information on the subject which
given to the public. The real
as outlined in this dispatch,
has been kept carefully out of sight.
This is indeed sad news. The peo-
pie of every civilized nation have
earned to regard Queen Victoria
with a love and respect bordering on
veneration, and the knowledge Of the
seriousness Of her present condition
will cause a universal and HEARTFELT
sorrow.

THE LANDS OF The zUN1s,

The Zuni Indians have q little
reservation in New Mexico. Their
forefathers occupied the lands VIII, IN
America was discovered. They
have never known other hcmes,
They are peaceful and inoffensive.
Their weapons have never drawn the
blood of the white man. The land
don't amount to much for agricul-
tural purl ,Oses, and the government
gave each member of the tribe 1000
acres. Upon these lands they pas
ture their small herds and raise their
own bread. But a few land sharks
wanted their acres. Among them
was tho son-in-law of Senator Logan.
He claimed them under a rail-
road grant. A protest went
up from the tribe and President Ar
thur restored the lands to the
wronged Indians. This prompt and
just step on the part of the President
has brought out a long letter from
Senator Logan in defense of
his precious son-in-law. The
eastern papers both Republican
and Democratic are scoring the ILL
nois Senator without mercy for his
course in the matter. The Omaha
Herald is mild in its denunciation
and lets him off with the following
mild notice: Senator Logan is out
in a long letter defending the at
tempt of his son-in-law to steal the
lands of the Zunis which they have
occupied for ages. This champion
of robbers is as bloodless as q turnip.
He knows no more about national
faith and honor than dogs know
about the tides or astronomy. A
man who would rob Fitz John Por-
ter of all that is dear to him in life
put of PERSONAL malice, would steal
Indians poor and starve or murder
hem without hesitation" Good-by,
Mr.. Logan. A "hasty plate of soup'
destroyed the prospects of our Presi-
asPirant. You have locked
he dsor of the White House against
Yourself and lost the key in the lines

MORMON

Tits not at all surprising that Nor
mon emissaries in Europe find little
difficulty in sending ship-load aftel
ship-load of so-called converts to
their faith to this country. They
work among q people who are ground
down by almost every form OF op.
preston and who gladly seize the op-
portunity offered them to escape it
by accepting a free passage to a land
Of liberty and comfortable homes.
While. a few may conscientiously
embrace the doctrines of the Mormon
church, it cannot be t%ruthfully MAIN
tanned that the great mass Of them
enter it in foreign countries
through other motives than
those named. We are aware this
assumption. impeacher the sincerity
of q large number of Mormon allies,
but it must be remembered the Nor
mons cur the great majority Of
them from the pauper class of the old
country who are not remarkable for
their intelligence or for their early re-
ligious training. Their lives + one
continued battle for bread, in which
too many of them are far from sue
cessful, and when they are offered q
passage and protection to a land
where homes will be provided for
them they do not hesitate to accept
the conditions imposed upon their
consciences to escape further oppres-
sion, poverty and want.
1t is q terrible temptation to
which the poor, poverty-stricken
liberty-loving European is subjected
and it is not a matter of wonder that
50 many Of them outwafdiy embrace
the Mormon faith in order to better
their condition. The New York
Herald probably took this view of
the case when in commenting upon
the influx of Mormon emigrants it
said: "Why do not some Of the mis-
societies send out able men to
follow the Mormon recruiting agents
through Europe? Better still, why
do not the righteous start colonizar
ton societies, so that poor but spirited
peasants need not out
wardly accept a vulgar faith in order
to secure transportation to the
United States andget a home when
they arrive" Others ask the
same questions. Why do the power
full religious denominations of Amer
lea sit idly by and see hordes of
ignorant paupers from Europe flow
into the country under the protection
Of Mormon emissaries without MAX
ing an effort to check the current?
Our rich philanthropists open their
purses to send missionaries to CON-
vert the beathens of Asia and Africa

sands of women and young girls

vitude q hundred fold more degrad-

not time they opened their eyes to
his fact? Or will they still keep
hem shut to what is patent to every
observer of the Mormon situation?
