Chandeliers Enmity.

The Chicago Herald says that if Senator
Chandler had his ear pulled, the south shall
suffer for it." From this 1t is to be inferred
that in the Herdids opinion Senator
Chandler intends to have revenge. Hedoes
not intend to make Senator Blackburn
suffer, but he will seek revenge by doing
the south all the injury he can. The Herald
says: Sod, who gave Chandler an ILL
defended body, gave him an outfit of bloody
shirt brains that shrewd statesmen NAV
dreadn
There is no doubt that the ear-puline
episode Will influence Senator Chandler in
his course toward the south. He cannot
safely attack Senator Blackburn, but he
can propose and urge legislation that will
be injurious to the south. In that way he
may seek to satisfy his desire for revenge.
he may not be able to find many senators
of his party, however, who will aid him in
his effort to punish tho south for what
Senator Blackburn did. TAey may think
that too small business for them to engage
IN. They may be induced to follow him.
however, if he eau make it appear that
what he proposes will benefit the Repub-
hcan party.
1t is to be regretted that such men as
Senator Chandler get into places of power.
They are able to do an immense amount of
harm, but they are not big enough men
tally to pursue course calculated to pro-
mote the public welfare. If Senator Chan
dler were the right sort of a man he would
contine his quarrel with Senator Blackburn
to that gentleman. He would not permit
it to influence his conduct in matters in
which the whole country is interested.
1t is quite safe to say that the last has not
been heard of the Blackburn Chandler af

public again, but it will crop out indirectly.

Mrs. Mary Ann Dougherty's name is in
the newspapers again. Mrs. Dougherty
tried to get pension from the government
when Mr. Cleveland was President. She
was not entitled to pension, and she didn't
get it. Her claim was shown so plainly to
be fraudulent that the republican press dis
creetly RETAINED from trying to make
political capital out Of the matter. The
other day Secretary Rusk appointed her to
position in the agricultural department
Probably Uncle Jerry thought public
sympathy was with Mrs. Dougherty. but if
he did, he doesn't know how to get at pub
lie sentiment, and if he cant do that, he
will never be President.

Chatham,s Mistaka.

From the Springfield Cfdss) Union (ReD.)
What is called the no f4nce~ law has been a
SUBJECT OF considerable discussion in Savannah
anu Chatham county, Georgia. This law which
must be accepted by the county before it comes
INTO force, forbids owners of horses. COWS and
other domestic animals TO turn them out to
pasture IN the highways. This would enable
the farmers to avoid the expense of building
fences TO Keep out other peoples cattle, and
hence IS called the no fence" law. We have
long enjoyed such law in this state and would
consider 1t almost return to barbarism if we
we're forced TO build fences except around the
pastures to keep our own cattle in.

Northern De-

Northern Democrats DISTINGUISHED.
Northern republican newspapers and
politicians are constantly asserting that
colored republicans in tho south are dis
franchised, though they have nothing upon
which TO base the assertion. 1t never seems
to occur to them that democrats in several
of the northern states are virtually dis
franchised. In Connecticut, for instance, a
majority of the voters are democrats, and
that state ought to be represented in the
United States Senate by democrats, but for
years her senators have been re-
publicans, because the people are
not fairly represented in her
legislature. Each town is entitled to so
many members of the legislature,
and an increase of population does not
carry with it a relative increase in the
number of members. Thus, if the next
census should show that the population of
the state had increased one-fourth in the last
ten years the legislature would have tho
same number of members that it ha S
now. Under this system town of 500
population has as many representatives as
city of $4,000, and as mos t
of the populous towns are demo-
cratic, the democrats lose considerably
in representation. Not only that, but they
are frequently defrauded Of the governor
ship, as a candidate for governor, to be sue
cesstul at the polls, must receive a majority
of all the votes cast. If he does
not, and he sometimes does not
when there is a third candidate the
election is thrown into the legislature
which is generally republican. and which,
therefore, nearly always elects the republi-
can candidate, notwithstanding he fire.
quently receives fewer votes at the popular
election than the democratic candidate If
this is not lesalzed fraud, the republicans
might occupy themselves with finding a
name for it.
In Rhode Island it is pretty much the
same, and the legislature Of that state has
just elected a republican governor who
received at the polls 1900 votes less than
the democratic candidate In New York
the republicans may generally be depended
upon, under an old apportionment, to carry
the legislature, aud they refuse to have a
| fair census taken, upon which to base new
| apportionment. If such tactics were re-
| sorted to by southern democrats, northern
| republicans would pretend to be shocked.
They are very fond of condemning imagi-
nary election abuses in the south, but they
are seemingly blind to real ones practced
| by their own party in the north.

Costa Rica's Demand.

The Nicaragua Canal Company is threat
ened with trouble of very serious kind
Costa RIGA wants a large sum Of money for
permitting the canal 10 be carried into the
San Juan river for sixty miles along the
Costa Rican boundary, and if the money is
not paid, she announces her purpose TO IN
wade Nicaragua.
It seems that few months ago the chief
engineer of the canal company obtained a
concession TO carry the canal along the
river, but a new party has come into power
in Costa Rica, which repudiates the conces-
sion. Costa RIGA has a much larger army
than Nicaragua, and the Nicaraguan gov
eminent is therefore very much alarmed.
The governments Of the Central Ameri-
can republics are rather unstable, and very
little dependence can be placed upon their
agreements. A party that is in power to-
day may not be in power tomorrow, and
as the party in power is always in need of
money, easy, rather than honest, means are
frequently adopted to obtain it.
Unless the government of the United
States interferes, and announces its purpose
to protect the canal company in its rights,
the company may be in trouble, almost con-
tinually, with both Costa Rica and Mica
ragua. Doubtless one of the things which
the canal company had in view, when it OBJ
tanned charter from congress, was the
protection which the government alone
could give it,
This country cannot afford to have work
on the canal INSTRUCTED by political troubles
in either Costa Rica or Nicaragua, and the
governments of these two republics should
be made to understand that they will have
to stand by their agreements, even though
the parties which make them go out of
power. A little exhibition i'll Costa Rica Of
the power Of this country would not be
without beneficial effect upon the Costa
Ricans
Work on the canal has been begun by the
canal company. A steamer sailed from
New York a month or so ago for George
town with engineers and machinery. At
that place piers, warehouses and shops are
being constructed. A railroad and a tele-
graph line are being built. The canal COM
pany is not calling for any money. 1t
seems to have all it wants for present pur-
poses. Costa Rica will have TO be quieted,
however, before there will be complete
confidence in the canal enterprise.

cablegram from London says that
Wilkie Collins was stricken with paralysis
last Tuesday, at the home of Sebastian B.
Schleslnger, one of the most prominent of
the Americans in London. Mr. Schlesinger
tried to induce him to &c the country some
days ago, as the hot weather was affecting
his health, but the novelist smiled and said
that he was too much of cockney ever to
want to leave London. Probably if he had
followed Mr.. Schlesinger's advice he would
be in comparatively good health to-day.
As this is his second stroke of paralysis, his
friends are quite uneasy about him.

The Nitrate King.


New York is just now interested in Col
John Thomas North, who is known in
England and South America as the nitrate
king. Col North arrived in New York a
day or two ago from Chill, where his possess
sions are. Less than year ago he was a
sort of lion in London society. The Prince
of Wales was entertained by him and the
British nobility seemed to be glad of a
chance to shake his hand, and they eagerly
sought invitations to his entertainments.
These entertainments were SO magnificent
and costly that they were described at
length in the leading London journals.
Col North has bad very remarkable
career. He is only about 45 years of age
and looks much younger. Twenty-Five
years ago be was boiler-maker in York
shire. England. To-day he is worth So
100000, and his prospect for being worth
100000, 900 within the next ten years is ex-
cellent. When he was 23 years OF age he
went to Chilli and riveted boilers in the
town Of Huosco, His chance
for fortune came at the
close of the war between Peru and Chill.
A part Of the spoils which Chill got from
Peru was the province of Tarapoca. 1t be-
came the northern province of Chill. Its
mountains are rich in nitrates of soda, but
nobody seems to have known how to make
money out Of these nitrate mines before
Col. North got possession of them. He got
his concession eight years ago for com
paratively small sum. He began TO mine
the nitrates at once, and now he owns rail
roads, steamships, sailing vessels, many
square miles Of iron and coal lands and
nitrate mines that are almost inexhaustible.
The nitrates are used as fertilizer, and a
market is found for them in European
countries.
