The Political System of Chill.

BY reason of the military successes
which have made Chilli the strongest
Power on the West Coast of America,
the Congressional elections in that Re.
public a few weeks ago deserve unusu-
al attention. They are the first since
peace, and foreign publicists Will look
to them with curiosity for signs of tho
effects of a five years war upon the
spirit of the people. The political
acrimony which has grown to great
proportions between the Government
and the church invests them also with
another and peculiar interest.
The Chilean President serves for
five years and is not eligible for tho
next term. A Pro sidential election
will come next year. The Congress
consists of two houses. The Senator's
serve for six years and the Deputies
for three. Those were elections for
both Senators and Deputies which
have just occurred. They are review
cd IN letter from Santiago that we
print to-day, and no change in the old
system OF the control of the
electors by the Executive is in
Dictated, unless it be one for the worse.
Tie Executive seems more potent than
ever to crush opposition and elect its
own Congress. There is no symptom
of the development of democracy;
and without it the only peaceable way
in the past, for 4 change of tho party
in power seems to be by the possessors
of the Government themselves chang
ing from one party to another. This
was practically what happened in the
case of President Errazuriz fifteen
years ago.
Chill thus far has been exempt from
those forcible overturnings which have
been frequent in all the other South
American republics. Revolutions, to
be sure, have been attempted several
times, but always quickly cxtingulsh-
ed. Tho present President, Senior
Santa Maria, was in his youth con-
spirator against President Montt, and
in that case, rs in every other, the pcr-
fectly centralized power of the Execu-
tive was too strong for the rebels.
But can any oligarchy pcrpetuate
itself indefinitely thus? With the in.
creasing intelligence of large mum.
Der of the people will not successful
revolution some day be provoked?
That ls the most important practical
question for the Chilean statesmen of
the day. Are they wise in neglecting
to develop something like what we IN
the United States understand by the
phrase can intelligent public opinion
as safeguard against revolution?-

Co!Qnc! md Mrs, WIN. King Win Great
Suit.

Decisions filed in the now famous King
Remington suits, involving the ownership
OF a large amount Of property, chiefly
situated in the nci.hbOrhOOu Of Lakes
Calhounand Harriet, ard known as the l-yn-
dalefarm. Col. King decided his land to Phi
10 Remington in trust to secure him in an
Indebtedness amounting tOsevcral hundred
thousand dollars, and a contract was
extended by which restitution was to be
made when the indebtedness, with interest,"
had been fully paid. The claim was made
by the defendants that :lhsnlutetitlc was Sc
cured by the redemption OF property sold!
under foreclosure proceedings and b. p,,.-
chase by the defendants oithr equity at the
bankrupt aAle. The court huluS that the
deed Of trust was in legal effect a mOrty GO,
and that none OF the claims under which
title to the property is sought to be cstab-
iished are valid. The court therefore orders
an accounting to be made by the defendants
us a step to securc a settlement OF the claim.
Inthe case brought by Caroline NJ. King,
the court holds that the property could not
be taken to pay the debt, and that restitu-
ton must be made, and orders an a accounting
to follow the accounting in the case OF Will
iamS. King. The amount it is believed will
accrue to Mrs. King under this decision is
estimated at 1896, 900, and the attorneys
of Col. King estimate that there will accrue
to. him about $500, 900 additional.

A RattlinE Eastern Cyclone.

Philadelphia and vicinity had IL new ex'

several others were thrown through hole

the river, striking Pitts Island, the storm
passed over that portion OF the Twenty
fifth ward OF Philadelphia known us Rich
mond. In it's rlvayes in Camden scores
OF dwelling houses were unrOofcd and some
OF them thrown down, and the damage to
the business property along the river front
Is enormous. Hundreds of families are
rendered homeless. It's path was almost
due north from the Port Richmond coal
wharves. About 1870 dwelling houses were
wrecked or so badly damaged as to hc rem

The English Premier on Afghanistan.

The marquis Of Salisbury, replying TO tho
duke Of Marlborough in the house OF lords
{. few days ago said:
The present government has done moth
ing to disturb the agreement made with
RUSSIA by Earl Granville in respect to the
Zultiker pass. Earl Duiferin, viceroy Of
India, had promised the ameer that he
should have the pass and the present gov
eminent held itself bound by that promise.
Russia does not appear to share our
views concerning this matter. In the mean
time Maruchak remains in possession OF the
Aighans and Penjdeh continues in posses
sion OF Russia and VIC arc pursuing as
rapidly and vigorously as possible q policy
TO strengthen the Indian frontier. No al
tarntion in tho diplomatic situation can in
duce the government to relax or alter this
policy, which will not depend upon transit
tory relations with this or that other
power, but which Is absolutely nee
essary for the security of India.
The government have no present inten-
ton to- occupy strategic positions in tho
amer's dom nions: What may happen,
hOMevLr, We are unablo to say. The delay
in the adjustment OF the Penjdch affair is
due to Russia desire to obtain the best
possible information respecting the mattcrs
in dispute. Concerning the proposed
British encampment in tho Pishin valley,
the premier said that territory belonged to
England and there had been no modifca-
ton in that claim.

Three years had passed. Tom was

1t was only short daily railway

family were still happy inmates of
Miss Greybrook's house. One day

great crowds of poor, respect table look
ing people came in and passed on to a
large room beyond. She was told they
were emigrants, just about to start for
New Zealand. She watched their
faces with kindly interest as young
and old passed by, and presently q
woman who seemed too old to be max
ing the journey, dropped her purse
just in front of Clara, who stopped to
pick it up. In returning it she saw
what made her stop the woman and
eagerly question her. Yes, it was her
fellow ledger in the old Westminster
street, and with face of quiet happi.

son, who had gone to New Zealand
three years before, had sent her money
to join him. HE is my only one,

Then Clara, in gentle tones, wished

back to her, she reminded him of the

reverent tone she said:

Flirting With q SenOrita.

Though the laws of propriety are so
vigorously strict that gentleman may
not ride in the same carriage with tho
lady to whom he is betrothed, vet most
desperate tlirtations are openly in
dulged in IN Mexico to an extent that
would put to blush New York, Chica-
60, or San Francisco. Following a
senorita up and down tho promenade
and staring intently in her face is an
accepted mode of OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
less gratifying to the recipient, but
fraught with danger to the adorer if
she happens to have other devoted
swains-and it not infrequently hap
pens that duels are the result, she
being prominently the belle who can
boas: the greatest number of such en-
counters. The canal was completely
hidden by boats, big and little, the
majority being long, clumsy raft-like
barges, each with a covered space in
the middle and deck at each end,
propelled by three or four Indians,
who push their long poles against the
river bottom, singing as they go.
Others were inclosed in an airy lattice
work of woven rushes intertwined
with flowers, thus shading the happy
occupants; many, gay with flags and
awnings, were exact limitations of Ven
etian gondolas, and thousands were
simply dug-outs-the same primitive
chatupas which Cortez found the ma
tives using nearly four centuries ago.

20, Lor' Hit lin Aeain!'s

In the early days of Methodism in
Scotland, q certain congregation, where
there was but one rich man, desired to
build new chapel. A church meet
ing was held. The old rich Scotchman
rose and said: Brethren, we dinna
need q new chapel: I'll give Is for re-
pairs"
Just then a bit of plaster falling from
the ceiling hit him on the head.
Looking up and seeing how bad it
was, he said: Brethren, it's worse
thon I THOUGHT; I'll make it so pun. ."
"Oh, Lord" exclaimed q devoted
brother on a back seat, chit i'm
again!'
There are many human tabernacles
which are in sore need of radical build
ing over, but we putter and fuss and
repair in spots without satisfactory
results. It is only when we are per-
sOnally alarmed at the real danger
that we act independently, and do the
right thing. Then it is that we most
keenly regret because we did not sooner
use our judgment, following the advice
born of the experience of others and
jump away from our perils.
Thousands OF persons who will read
this paragraph are in abject misery
to-day when they might be in q sat
isfactory condition. They are weak,
lifeless, full of odd aches and pains,
and every year they know they are
getting worse, even though the best
doctors are patching them in spots.
The origin of these aches and pains is
the kidneys and liver, and if they
would build these all over new with
Warmers safe cure as millions have
done, and cease investing their money
in miserahly unsuccessful patchwork,
they would be very we'll and happy
and would bless the day when the
Lord "hit 'em' and indicated the
common-sense course for them to pur-
sue.-London Press.
