THE GILLIAN PLEADINGS,

The rival parties in Chill are seeking to gain
the moral support Of foreign opinion by justify
ing their course on constitutional grounds.
President Bamaceda's address to the new Con-
gress assembling in Santiago on April 20 and
the declaration of principles adopted By the ma
iomty in the preceding Congress are ex parte
statements to be carefully compared by those
anxious to form an Independent judgment OF
the merits of Il complex controversy which has
ended in disastrous civil war. The Presl-
dent, being an astute politician and keen
logician, makes an effective use of the advan-
tageS which he derives from being the Chief
Executive o. Government armed with power
by the people. Ills is the only Government
which has received popular sanction under
recognized forms of constitutional law. His OPP
pOnentS are reyolutjOnistS in arms against legal
y constituted authority, and in technical sense
cannot justify their plea of conducting revolt
against the Government by constitutional meth
DDS Civil war may be just and defensible, but
not by any ingenuity of reasoning can IL be
reconcled with the provisions of public law.
The revolutionary leaders present formidable
indictment against the President, but under the
existing forms Of law they are rebels and are
moral rather than constitutional grounds.
The President represents the naval officers as
having openly disobeyed the orders OF the rear
admiral and rebeled against the civil author
tiles. lie disputes their right to discuss orders
given to them by the Chief Executive, and
charges them with supporting pretended Con-
gressional authority which is illegally exercised
and with seeking to establish q military dictator
ship. lie denies that the navy has any con-
stitutiOnal ground for obeying the leaders OF the
last Congress i'll preference to the Government
of the day, and contends, furthermore, that any
action taken by the majority of the legislators
was illegal because the President alone was EN-
powered by law to convoke them for the trans
action of public business. Having thus reduced
the navy and the Congressional leaders to the
level OF rebels without constitutional justifca-
ton, he taunts them with having failed to OBJ
tain popular support and TO impair the loyalty
of the army. \ revolt having been instigated
by Parliamentary leaders whom he had labori-
ously endeayored to conciliate and reconcile, he
considers that he was under moral obligations
to restore the authority of the constitution and
the laws.
The insurgents are constrained TO base their
case upon the arraignment of the Administfa-
ton by the majority of the legislators on jan
uary /, and the deposition of the President then
nominally dccreed They charge Balmaceda
and his Ministers with suppressing popular
sovereignty, with encouraging mob law. with

PROGRESS OF THE WORLD'S FAIR.


While the Worlds Fair continues to be adj
vertised by noisy cranks and the boomers OF
shows and schemes that shall "whip creation"
it is interesting to note the real progress that Is
making with the actual business OF the Exhibl-
ton 1t is over n year since it was first de-
cided at Washington that the Fair should go to
Chicago. A site was not, however, finally
chosen until last November, and since then
much time has necessarily been consumed in
the preliminary work OF organization ana de-
sign. In late report the chief OF construction
announces that complete maps have been drawn
of the Fair ground, that the location OF build
ngs and a5oons has been staked out, and much
grading accomplished. Plans and working
drawings have also been prepared of halls and
subways, as well As of watef-wOrkS and sewers,
and the landscape gardening arrangements are
we'll under way
If the Fair is to open within the next two
years, in accordance with President Harrison's
Christmas proclamation, there is nevertheless
need of all the energy even Chicago can put
forth for a great emergency. The architects
have worked with a haste which it is to be
hoped has not impaired their success. But it is
difficult TO understand how the designs are to
be satisfactorily executed in the comparatively
short time remaining. The most imposing of all
the structures, say the officials will be the Adj
ministration building, in which the Director
General and his aides will have offices, and in
which will be located the fire and police sta
tons, postoflice, a restaurant and information
bureaus. The wisdom of abandoning such an
edtce to such uses may reasonably be ques-
toned especially as want of space is certain to
cause ultimate inconvenience. The design for
the building is the work of Mr.. Richard NJ
Hunt, Of this city, whose name assures its ex-
cellence. IL contemplates four pavihons. con-
