PAT EGAN At BAY.

Regardless of party there has been on
the part of the press OF the United
States an almost unanimous demand for
the recall OF Minister to Chill PATRICK
EGAN. Even that most hidebound of
Republican partisan journals. the New
York Mail and Express, has joined IN
the chorus. But it appears the Gillian
situation has not been thoroughly un-
derstood in this country. The diplO-
matte secrecy enshrOuding the secretary
of states Office has made this misunder-
standing possible. Late dispatches con-
vey clearer view of the sensitive con-
ditions now existing in Chilli than have
heretofore been given. 1t appears that
Minister EGAN is at present harbor-
ing at the American legation number
of prominent refugees from the defunct
BALMACEDA party. Since the suicide
of their chief, these refugees have been
demanded at the hands of the American
legation by the present rulers of Chilli,
the congressional party. To these de-
mands Minister EGAN has refused and
still firmly refuses compliance. And
the minister Is acting under strict orders
from Washington in the stand taken by
him. In case of an attempt to take these
refugees from the American legation by
force, Admiral SCHLEY, commander the
only American warShip now in Gillian
waters. has received instructions to pro-
ceed 10 extreme measures. What those
missed by any one at all conversant
with the usual temper of naval officers.
1t must certainly be admitted that the
course pursued so far in this CHILEAN i'm
brogllo is one that will be readily in
dOrsed by the intelligent and patriotic
people Of the United States. 1t is no
time, nor are our people in any mood
for repetition of the Barrundia affair.
The indignation excited in the breasts
Of Americans by the details of that
dark episode is still fresh in the minds
of the people. To surrender these
refugees from the conquered army of
BALMACEDA would simply be surrend-
erIng them to death. Secretary BLAINE
has offered to provide them safe
escort out of the country. but
to this compromise the inturiated

listen. Their cry IS for the blood of
these refugees, and it is between their
lives and the fierce animositieS OF the
cOnquering leaders that the representa-
tive Of the United States now interposes
his official protection. 1t is idle at this
moment to attempt criticism of PAT
EGAN as minister to Chill. For the
present he stands as the representative
of this country, obeying instructions
from the department of state. His posi-
ton is by no means an enviable one, and
the situation can be said to be coming
rapidly to focus, either for open war
fare or peaceful arbitration. At all
events it is evident the refugees will not
be surrendered, and our few cruisers
are now daily drawing nearer to CHILEAN
waters, with the Baltimore already on
the marine picket line.

A MISTAKEN VIEW.

1t Is not surprising that journals in
England should often have wrong un
derStanding of the situation in this
country. as Interpreted by the late cleo
tons. There is class of publications
in this country equally at variance with
the real status. The London Globe says
the result ''proves beyond doubt that
there is popular reaction in favor of
the MCKINLEY tariff" No indication is
seen in the election that the people pro-
pose to elect Democratic president
next year and turn from the Republican
tariff system. There are Republican
papers equally deluded, if they are
honest in their declarations. The
only state in which there is any
apparent basis for the claim that the
MCKINLEY tariff is gaining favor is
Ohio, and the gain for the policy there
is nominal rather than real. MCKINLEY
would have had vastly more than 10000
majority, had he run as well as he did in
his congressional district the year be-
fore, Just after his tariff had come into
operation. 1t may fairly be argued that
his tariff policy is weaker in Ohio than
it was in 1890. The Republicans car
ried the state by 10000 year ago, and
have now raised it little above 10000.
Internal discussions and lack of the
means SO abundant with the Republi-
cans could easily account for the differ
ence. Senator SHERMAN also says
that the silver question was influential,
and very damaging to the Democrats.
1t is generally admitted that it did have
! some effect. But, admitting that Nc
KinleyiSm holds the ground strongly
in Ohio. that state is oyershadowed by
protection Pennsylvania, and may be
claSsed with it. In no other quarter is
there any chance to get in claim that
the new tariff is gaining ground. There
is nothing in the recent elections to in
crease Republican hopes of success next
year. The promise is far less for them
than it was the year before the last gen.
eral election

AN ABSURD POSITION

Last year the Democrats in Nebraska
elected their candidate for governor.
At the late election the candidates NOM
mated for state positions withdrew, or
were removed, and their places were
not filled. Under the Australian act a
party must have cast l per cent of the
votes at the preceding election to be
given place on the state ticket. COnse-
quently. the Democratic party of that
state will find itself in the absurd posi-
ton next year of being ineligible to
position on the ticket. 1t will be neces-
Sary to get up petitions. like the new
parties. This is discreditable and hui
initiating. The condition of the party
is not very much better in Kansas. The
moral is obvious. There should be TO
draping of Democratic cOlors at any
time, or for any temporary end.

VOTES MAY RELOST

The question is raised III Missouri
that the state will not be able to tally its
added vote for presidential electors I'M
less special session of the legislature
is called and the congressional appor-
tiOnment had. 1t has been customary
to elect gains in congressman when the
new districting was not had by general
ticket. Missouri expects to elect one
in this way, as perhaps some other
states will. But there is no provision
for choosing any electors by this method.
The law provides that state shall have
an electOr for each congressional
district, and two for the state
at large. There seems to be
no precedent for more than the two
electors at large. The state has fifteen
congressional districts. and is entitled
to sixteen congressman. II sixteen
congressional electors are chosen, it is
feared the whole thing may be decided
illegal, and the state left out. If the
legislature were to be in session in sea-
son the difficulty could evidently be
relieved by the selection of the added
electOr by that body. The same diff
Guilty may be had in other states. 1t
has been suggested that South Dakota
may be able to count but two votes in
the electoral college, as it has not been
districted for congressman. If there is
doubt about this, the legislature could
choose the electors. The contest may
be close enough TO make few votes

THENEw YoRKLEGIsLATURE

The official count in New York is re-
ported to give the Democrats two ma
Jority in the lower and one i'll the upper
branch of the legislature. 1t is prob
ably meant that the senate is a tie, and
the Democratic lieutenant governor
will nave the casting vote, as the body
consists of thirty-two members. and
there is no way of dividing to give one
majority. The control of the Iegisla-
ture is of very great consequence to
either party. The fact that nearly So
600 majority in the popular vote is nee
essary TO give bare control of the legis-
lative body is evidence that there is
something unfair. The apportionment
is the trouble. The present one
was made on the state census Of 1875.
The population has grown since
then nearly 100000, chiefly in the
Democratic districts. The law requires
reapportionment every ten years, but
the Republicans have defeated it for
five successive years Oh account of the
advantage Tor them in the old one Last
winter the Democrats i'll the assembly
passed bill conceded to be quite Just,
Dul tHe hcpuOiicdil SeHdle defeated IL.
Seventeen Republican assembly dis
tricts, as shown by the PORTER census,
have population of 80. 46S, while seven
teen Democratic districts possess a pop
ulation of 1.lGl, 52S. The senate pre-
sents similar disparity. 1t is this that
enables the Republicans usually to hold
the legislature when there is a large
popular majority against them. and why
they defeat all attempts at reapportion-
ment. The Republicans will contest
two or three seats in the senate, as it is
of vital importance to have control of
one branch. If the Democrats can Sc
cure all equitable apportionment they
will, no doubt, be able TO gain the other
United States senator two years hence.

ANARCHISTS IN LIMBO.

1t is evident that the Chicago police
are in no mood to be trifed with by
anarchists. The turbulent proceedings
at meeting held Wednesday evening.
at which the American flag was ordered
displayed in the hall, were yesterday
followed up by the arrest of a number
of the rabid leaders of that meeting.
This is as it should be. Prompt action
by the police in all such cases will be
heartily endorsed by the people. The
red flag represents no country on earth,
and is entitled to no protection. The
man who carries it is an Ishmael and
a Pariah. and his lack of patriotism is
always sufficient grounds for assuming
that he is a conspiratOr and an outlaw.
