MORE CIVILIZED.

1t is probable that the faction now at
the head of affairs in Chill may show a
lack of craftsmanship and good sense in
their treatment of affairs with this
country. PAT EGAN'S absurd partici-
patton in local affairs at their expense
may have caused too much bad blood to
be worked OF at once, and with EG AN
still as the agent of the United States
yet they will blunder egregiousiy if
they do not muffie their wrath and
obviate any serious break. Chill has
ranked good deal in advance OF the
other South American countries in
the Quality of its civilization and the
general character of its civil conditions.
An election for president and members
of the national congress has just been
had with machinery and forms similar
to those Of this country There is one
very material difference, however. The
electors chosen to select the president
are not the mere mechanical affairs
they are in this country, compelled by
customs stronger than laws to cast the
vote for parties already designated.
Public sentiment may have some influ-
ence, but the electors are not necessa-
rily bound by pledges. The success
full general in the late civil war is
not among the specially favored. 1t has
been the common practice in those Re-
publican countries tor the head of the
army, after successful revolution, to
push himself to the head, and become a
dictator virtually. Chill seems to have
risen to higher stage of progress and
civilization. but may have good deal
to learn as to outside relations, if it al
lows itself to act the boor with citizens
of the great republic to the north.

ALLIANCES STRENGTH.

Those who are disparaging the
strength of the Alliance and finding
the demoralized and reduced In num-
bers in states where it has had its chief
strength, may not recall the fact that
the political organization that has the
national field is broader than the Alt
ance. The politics of the latter has
been largely sloughed off into the Peo-
pies party. 1t is difficult to draw the
distinction. and it may be really more
nominal than actual. The late presi-
dent of the Alliance in Kansas
says it has lost more than half
of it's numbers, and is in danger of be-
ing wrecked by a squad of mercenaries
or extremists. But it is too soon to fig
ure out the volume or cavity the ALT
ance or the political elements about it

A STARTLING REVELATION

Ex-Gov. MCGILL has been in Free
born county, and has submitted to a
public interview. The Sage of st. An
thony Park is always entertaining in
his newspaper utterances and some
times he is startling. On the last occa-
sion when he unburdened himself he
commended BENJAMIN HARRISON be-
cause he had been SO skilltul in keeping
dark the scandals in which he had been
involved during his administration.
The general public delights in salacity,
and the suggestion that there was some
thing of an interesting nature hidden
by the present chief executive kindled
the most widespread inquiry ana ex-
element. Now Mr.. MCGILL confines
himself to state issues. Not without
wit, he says that he is not can
didate for the goyernorship this
year for the very good reason that there
will not be an election until 1892. This
is at once bright and delphic and re-
minds one of the way in which Gen.
GRANT used to change the subject when
people asked him if he was going TO
stand for third term. The reporter in
the present instance, however, was very
persistent, and finally elected from the
great man the declaration that if he
should run again it would not be be-
cause he cared for the office, but simply
to make his record straight. This is
really alarming. Probably no one has
ever suspected that there was anything
crooked about Mr.. MCGILL's late admin
istration. 1t has been generally sup
posed that his conspicuous ability and
long experience as bOokkeeper had
enabled HIM to get through his term
without false balance of any sort.
Does he mean to say that this is not
true? Does he also stand in need of a
vindication? This is very upsetting.
All our idols are being broken.

LONDON FUR SALE.

A Decline Of About s Peg

Skins,
While the Northwest Coast

Average Prices Maintained

The annual public auction of Fun
Seals took place in London Oct. 81. and
was of great Importance this year owing
to the fact that in October. 1890. Seal
ad yanced from 81 to 113 per cent over
the prices brought in October, 1889,
being the greatest advance ever known,
and being caused by shortage of skins.
The whole fur trade, and the ladies,
too, have been interested in the outcome
OF this sale, as the enormous advance OF
last year has been very generally felt
by purchasers of Seal Garments this
season. The facts are that Seal as
whole. held its own on this sale-that
Is, there were about 14,000 lnstead of
the usual 100000 Alaskas offered at the
sale, and about 10000 Copper Island,
Victoria, LObOS, and low grades. The
Alaskas declined 81 to 1215 per cent,
and lower grades advanced to ID per
cent, so the average lot sold at prices Of
last October.
The public generally are not aware
that seals are sold in London in
their raw state, and that at present 4
raw seal is worth about so, so that an
advance or decline of 20 per cent is only
50 on skin, or 81 on garment (as
there are three and a half skins in a
garment; that the'fixed charges for dye.
ing, dressing and duties are the same.
Whether skin cost, raw, - or $50,
hence an advance or decline of 10 per
cent, doesn't affect the price of Seal
Garments. For many years-from 1880
to 1S90-the prices at the London sales
varied each year, sometimes 10 per cent
decline, sometimes 10 to - per cent adj
vance, yet during these ten years Seal
Garments scarcely varied in price: but
when i'll 1890 the advance was II3 per
cent on the class of skins especially i'll
demand, advancing the raw skins from
value of about SO to S2l, it made a
difference of S3S to $40 in Seal Jacket,
which Was felt at once.
The facts are that the total supply OF
Seal of all kinds has been reduced from
matter of 100000 skins yearly. as of.
fered from 1880 to 1890 each year, to less
than one-third that amount last year,
and about One-balf that amount this
year. Seal is undoubtedly scarce, and
will stay at OF about present prices for
at least three years. Messrs. Ransom x
Horton, of this city, furnish us the re-
port of the fur sales. which we append

The elections next week will not show
much of the situation in this respect,
except in Nebraska. There is a fight
in that state over the judicial tickets of
the Alliance and the Republicans, the
Democrats largely aiding the Alliance.
If = the latter does not have
round majority it might as we'll
go out of politics, or join the Demo-
Gratis, who favor about all that is rea-
sonable and practicable in the Alliance
programme. No doubt this will be
largely the case in ali the Western
states. The new party has its birth in
hostility to the policies OF the Repub-
lican party. To go back to that party
would be qualification and an impeach-
ment of the sincerity or intelligence of
those who went out from it.

Davis and Washburn, the former in
favor of the force bill and honest poll

years ago consent to run as candidate
for congress because he was not i'll ac-

took only medium ground in favor of

be doing neighborly act, but some

FROM ANOTHER STANDPOINT

Secretary FOSTER has written and
said that for every dollar represented
by outstanding treasury notes there is
in the governments vaults a gold dol
lars worth OF silver bullion. Some of
the least Informed Republican news
papers have repeated this statement on
the basis of his authority. Conspicuous
among these has been the Minneapolis
Tribune, whose partnership is so sod
den that no perversion of the most OBJ
viouS truths is too daring for it to ven
ture on. The GLOBE has said that Sec
rotary Fosters declaration is false and
was made in a spirit of disingennousnes
unworthy of minister of finance. 1t
has proved this by references to
the express provisions of the SHEER
MAN law. The Tribune, however,
is not phased by evidence. 1t returns
to its statement with ignorant persist
ence either because it cannot under
stand the statute or because it is unwill-
ing as defender of Fl at money to admit
the dangerous character of the currency
which the Republican party has devised.
Perhaps the first explanation is the cor

ter from another standpoint to which its
comprehension may be equal. The
treasury has been buying 4,5OO,O 900
ounces of silver every month since the
act of July IA, 1890, went into effect. 1t
has paid for them in treasury notes.
each dollar of treasury notes, we will
say, being given for a gold dollars
worth Of silver bullion. Let us assume
to make the exposition simple enough
for the Tribune's understanding that
none of this bullion has been coined
into standard dollars. A good deal of 1t
has. but let us suppose that the total
amount purchased is still in The govern
ment's vaults. The silver bought year
ago Will, in such case. be represented by
treasury notes outstanding against it.
But from the time when the SHERMAN
law went into effect down to the present
date. the price of silver bullion, as
measured by gold, has been steadily de-
Ginning. There has been shrinkage of

about One-siXth from its maximum
price to its present price. The silver
back of the treasury notes issued for its
purchase when it was at the topmost
point then has only fve-sixths of the
value it had at the time of its purchase
and their issue. From this point of
view, waving all the erroneous inter-
pretatlons attempted to be made of the
present act, anybody can see that dol
lar of some of the treasury notes repre-
SCENTS little over eighty cents worth of
bullion: of some little more, but of
none. not excepting even those issued a
month ago, their full face value. Secre-
tary FOSTER, of course, knows this, and
perhaps even the Tribune may grasp it.

SURE THINGS.

De Courtney Jones had large ideas of gov
eminent reform.
And thought he only had to run to take the
town by storm.
Election day things looked so bright that he
could almost see
The silent ballots piling up his big majority
But as he counted the returns at O'Clock

Three safe precincts came in and hid his
office cut of sight
He was Knocked out; completely crushed /;
his brightest hopes took wing;
How could he lose? He knew he had

Tom Jenkins fate was even worse; he loved
a roguish miss,
Who rather liked quiet hug, and didn't
mind kiss;
At last Tom thought the time had come to
end his lonely life,
And gain her deepest gratitude by making
her his wife,
With confidence he asked when she would
name the blissful day."
And found she would not name at all :
she'd only been in play.
So, TO his empty pocket he returned the dia-
mond ring,
And found he'd gained some points about

Alas such luck is com mon in these harrass-

We all have stumbled over it IN unexpected

There was a gratifying degree of en-

but with it all there was no disposition
to act hastily. After a pretty general
discussion of the advantages that would
accrue to the state from the filing up of
the thousands of splendid farms await
ing tenants, the meeting very properly
referred the matter Of devising a plan
of operation to committee of fifteen
business men, who are to report in a

of opinion as to the benefits of immigra-
ton, and all legitimate efforts will be
