paciGc Souadron This suggestion seems 10 De
due 70 the action Of the Chilians, who became so
clatcd with their victory over Peru that tney
have assumed lofty air and warned Americans
not TO provoke Chill too far. One oil inc new
York papers recently received at valparaiso con-
tanned an article, which has been cop'eu py eiic
native papers, to the effect that one OF inc CnH""
ironclads could blow Ncw-York into the fnlouc VI
next week The Pacific Squadron now has ten
vessels, and is larger than any other squauio"
on the coast, the European having only three
vessels.
The real defendants in the case of Mrs. Levy
are the directors Of the Twenty-thlrd s'rceO
horse-car line, who are willing to kill somebody
now and then for the sake OF Digger DIV iue"u'
According to the excellent Mugwump authority
of The Boston Herald" the President has not yet
written line of his letter of acceptance tnoueh
he bos been thinking about it. If he has not yeC
selected n text for the document, we beg leave
most respectfully to suggest to him the following
"Wben We consider the patronage OF ms great
office tho allurcments Of power, the temptation 10 &c.
tain public place gained, and more than an the
availability n party finds In an Incumbent "honi .
horde of Office holders, with zeal born OF Deneh'S
eceivod and fostcred by the hope OF favors Sc. W

president for reelection most serious danger 10 'hat
calm. deliberate and intelligent action which must
characterize government by the people,
Tho President may verify quotation by re-
ferrinp IN the interesting political treatise from
which IL is takon-a letter addressed to william
Villas. D. P. Bestor and others, dated at Albany,
August 10, 1884, and signed Grover Cleveland
.Whot is the difference" inquired the pro-

between the adjective hearty and the( adjective
cordiar?"
And the members of the class roared out IN

between revenue reform Of the Cleveland-MliS
variety and free trade
"Young gentlemen observed the professor,
vour reply does you credit 1t is as correct als it

Democratic newspapers that are accusing re-
| cent Republican Legislatures Of this State Oh
| having neglected to provide for State census
ought to know better. BY referring to the Jour
Of the Senate and Assembly for 1885 they w1ll
| discover thar the Legislature of that year wen
and faithfully provided for a census in acc%d-
ance with the mandate of the Constitution
Nevertheless no was taken, but the blame
lies at the door of Governor Hill, who, on strict
partisan grounds not uncOnnected with patron
age recklcssly vetoed the census bill
The destruction caused by blast the other
day suggests the necessity Of more careful super
vision of this sort of work within the city limits
In the rocky portions of the island blasting Is 70
necessity; but it should be carried on with the
utmost caution and under close inspection In
the case in question it is reported that mole
twelve feet deep was drilled into the rock and
filled with dynamite" 1t is not surprising tnat
n multitude of windows were broken and
other damage done. The wonder is that some
pcople were not killed That this was not the case
was due to good luck not to good management The
courts have held recently that contractor is re-
sponsibc for damages done by blasting, OF
course he should be, and the contractor in this
instance is prompt to acknowledge his response
blity. Usually contractors try to escape from it.
and the people whose property is injured have to
resort 70 the law to bring them to terms. The
thing is an annoyance and n source OF danger, ana
both of these elements ought to be reduced to a
minimum.

SELF 1t was the general impression in the court
, room that his Honor had put it rather mildly
His remark in tie drollneSs of its understatcment
is vividly recalled on reading in " The New-iori
Times, DEM that " the Administration of Pres
dent Cleveland has not done all fer the reform
of the Civil Service that the friends of the re
form expected Not done ALL" eh?
"The Rochester Union" refers to the Republican
candidates as BENJAMIN and Levi, and by way

emphatic grounds against "a campaign Of per

We shall see,
This paragraph, extracted from edtoria
article in The New-Yorll Times" DEM, need
to be taken in connection with paragraph tina
| appeared in the same paper last November:
Our Information is that no president Cleveland
declines to interfere in state politics, either for 9
o against any Of the aspirants to the GubeInaorl;
ingon and that his faithful performance of it leave
r him neither the leisure nor the inclination to tab

O, indeed? Your information is of that cha
y actcr is it? Well, we presume that it wasn't jul
@ of that character on November 8, 1887. whe
$ you printed this

If In other words. The Times's' informatiC
is was that last November, when the pressure OF pc
e itcians showed him that he must indorse FelloN
d or run the risk of defeat himself, lac was guilty
an Impairment interference, but its lniormati'
at this time when he has got all he wants fro
10 the politicians, is that he is very busy ana car
