nEcoNsTRUcTIoN IN CHILE.

Now that Santiago has fallen and Balma-
ceda has taken to flight. the victorious Con-
gressionals will have to begin the work of
reconstruction. 1t will not be without diff
Guilty. The navy is in shape, and it will not
take long TO reconstitute the army. The
Judges, nearly all of whom were in the Con-
gressional camp, can resume their seats on
the bench witho ut confusion. But unless
the CoDgressionals proceed on the assump-
ton that the revolution has obliterated the
Constitution Of 1888, and that it devolyes
upon them to begin to rebuild de novo, from
the ground up, they will encounter some
difficulties when they begin the reorgani-
zation of the legislative and executive
branches of the Government
Under the Constitution Balmaceda's term
of Office expires on September 18th. When
the time came round for the election of his
successor, some two months ago, a sup
porter of his named Vicuna was nominated
and received all the votes cast; but AS the
northern provinces were at that time in the
hands of the: revolutionsts. no votes were
cast for him there. and as the rest of Chile
was practically under martial law, the cleo
tion in those provinces cannot be said to
have been free. 1t has thus been held that
Vicuna's election was void on the ground of
illegality. He himself at latest dates was
fugitive on board a German man-of-War. 1t
will now deyolve upon the Congressionals
TO decide whether they will recognize his
election or order a new one. They are
pretty certain to adopt the latter alterna-
tive. The first business of the Provisional
Government now in power will be TO order
an election for President and that can
hardly take place in time for the newly
elected c Chief Magistrate 10 assume Office on
the day prescribed by law, September 18TH
But the COngressionals are not responsible
for the interregnum. nor does it seem that
the postponement of the Inauguration of
Balmaceda's successor can invalidate his
authority.
BY the provisions Of the Constitution as
amended by the law Of 1883 one-third of the
members of the Chamber Of Deputies must
be elected every year. The time set for
their election has passed by and new cleo
tion will have to be ordered to fill the va
cancies. There are, moreover, a number of
members of the Chamber who adhered to
Bamaceda's cause and who will not be suf-
fered TO resume their seats in the House un-
til general amnesty has been proclaimed
The Provisional Government will probably
take the responsibility OF declaring their
seats vacant and ordering new elections to
fill them. There is plenty CT time to hold
the necessary elections. so that the new
House can be ready for business on the reg
ularly appointed day.
AS to the fate Of Balmaceda and his fol-
lowers the Chlleans are the best judges of
the course to be pursued. They have prece-
dents for any line of policy. We just let
Jeh Davis alone; the only punishment
which befell him was exclusion from public
service. Under similar circumstances Sir
John Macdonald, in Canada, hanged RieI,
the leader Of the Manitoba insurgents. The

BADLY HOAXED.
Two Officers Wild Goose Chase
for a Murderer.

Late on Saturday night there was quite a
lively time on Central avenue and Califor-
mia street. While Of1cer Fields was stand
/ ing in the locality woman came up to him
and in an excited manner told him that a
man had murdered woman on Twenty
second avenue, near the Point Lobos road.
The woman was French and could not
make herself understood very we'll.
Finally countryman of hers was Sc
cured, through whom she communicated an
awful story of crime. She pictured a
dreadful scene. saying the murderer had
almost severed the woman's head with a
hatchet. and that blood was on everything
in the room, so deadly was the fight pre-
vious to the murder.
On receiving this intelligence Officer
Fields excitement rose TO fever heat and
he burned with q desperate ardor to cover
himself with distinction. He determined
to capture the murderer. BY this time
crowd had gathered round, attracted by the
news, and among the arrivals was Officer
Green. Both officers were fred with the
same interest and they at once took the
Cllif House train. which was then leaving,
ana made arrangements TO have it stop at
IWtnty-secOnd avenue.
After leaving the train the officers almost
broke their necks in scrambling over the
brush ana sand dunes, and finally reached
the house which was designated by the
woman who told the gruesome tale An
entrance was forced, and when Officer
Fields reached the kitchen he found man
stretched out upon the floor dead drunk
There was no evidence of blood nor
struggle of any kind.
Nv here's the woman you killed with a
hatchet?' asked Fields, shaking the drunken
man.
''He didn't kill anybody" responded a
voice from an adjoining room. This proved
to be woman, the wife of the man on the
floor, whose name is Muaraven. She was
III the same state as her husband, and when
she learned that officers were in the house
set up screaming that was heard a mile
away. Beth denied of any fight taking
place. The woman admitted that her hus-
band frequently beat her, but denied that
he ever used hatcbet in administering his
weekly eonjugal reprimand, which takes
place every Saturday night when the hus-
band brings home his wages, which are
principally spent in beer aud whisky.
Officers Fields and Green were compelled
to leave the place without making any ar
rests and returned to their beats very much
dlSguSted at the hoax which had been
played upon them. They state that it is
their belief that the neighborS OF the drunken
couple have become tired of their frequent
drunken rows at all hours of the night, and
some OF them determined to frighten Nun
raven and his spouse. For this reason they
sent one OF their number toward town with
the officers would take the bait and visit the
house at the very time that Munraven and
his wife were drunk.
Both Fields and Green are very anxious
to again meet the French woman who lured
them out on their wild goose chase.
The morning call., 1891-08-31

French have contented themselves with ex-
ling the monarchist and imperialist pretend
ers to the throne and forbidding them to
return. The King of Roumana was fur
nished by the revolutionists with draw
ing-room car to convey him into exile. 1t
is not to be disguised that the world would
be shocked by news that the Chileans had
caught and executed Balmaceda; but after
all, it is their affair. and foreigners have no
right to interfere.
The occasion is appropriate for the
amendment Of the organic instrument Of
1888 so as to bring it into closer line with
the constitutions of the present day. 1t is
impossible to justify the provision which re-
quires Senators to have an income of $4,000
and Deputies an income of $500 and to make
them serve without pay. Such property
qualifications are irreconcilabls with the
principles of free representative Govern
ment as at present understood. There must
be many citizens of Chile who do not enjoy
S2O0O or even $500 year, and yet who are
quite as competent to make laws for the
republic as those who possess such worldly
riches. Political science has made progress
since 1888. Manhood suffrage and manhood
eligibility involve Inconvenience, but the
inconveuiences are less than the evils which
result from system under which nations
are governed, not by men, but by dollars.

nor the intelligence that comes of experience
TO the consideration of public affairs. Some
are in the Senate as agents Of corporations,
others for the social consideration the Office
gives themselves and their families. with a
sprinkling of smart politicians who are
auepts in the requirement and distribution
of patronage. The political value of the
Senator of this class is determined by the
amount of Federal patronage he brings
back to his State. There are few Senators
left who are credit to the country. They
have reached the Senate shrough service in
the Legisla of their several States and
the Lower House of Congress. The pur-
pose of the Farmers Alliance in "cleaning
out" the Senate will be applauded. and it is
much to lie hoped that their lightning will
strike in the right places.

AN OLD WORLD SCANDAL.

The story which is reported as coming
from the London Times giving details of
the relations known to have existed be-
tween Rudolph, Crown Prince of Austria,
and Marie Of Vetzera, furnishes no reason
why it should have been told. IL does not
present the young girl in better light than
she had appeared in since her folly became
known, nor does it mitigate the offense of
the Crown Prince in taking advantage of
the iufatuatiOn of girl who was minor
in years and in intellect. The details of
such scandals are printed in a certain class
of papers fer the profit to be gained by it,
but tile London Times is supposed to be
above that sort of thing. That the mother
Of tue dead girl regards them as a vindca-
tion is preposterous. The girl sought the
Prince and when his cousin saw that there
was money in it for her she brought them
together. The story is disgraceful TO all
concerned in 1t, and especially to the niece
OF the Empress of Austria. In fact, the
only apparent purpose of the publication is
to bring the Countess Larisch. the niece of
the Empress and cousin Of the Crown
Prince, into contempt

POOR RICH MEN.

Mr.. Frederick Vanderbilt is having lit
tie misunderstanding with the Treasury
Department of the United States on the
proposition that certain yacht he has
brought from England shall pay the duty the
Board of Appraisers have charged against
1t. The sum involved is $4,000. Whether
young Mr.. Vanderbilt got the yacht built
in England at S34, 900 below the American
cost is not material. If his yacht should
cost him a few thousand dollars, with duty
added, more than it would have cost TO build
one like it in the United States, the young
man can stand it. What will strike the pub
lie rs amusing is the extreme impertinence
in this fresh young man In contracting for a
fOreign-Duit vessel and then objecting to
pay the duties the authorities charge against
it, In the interest of American labor we
prohibit foreign-buIlt vessels from entering
into the coastwise trade. Admitting that
the cheaper labor of England enables their
ship-builderS 10 turn ont vessels at less cost
than the ship builders in the United States
can, we protect our Ship-builders by declar-
ing that the foreign-built vessels shall not
ply between American ports. But this fresh
young Vanderbilt seems to think that laws
to protect American labor ought not to ap-
ply TO him. 4 few months ago one OF the
Astor ladies had similar controversy
about the appraisement of certain dresses
she had ordered from Paris. The lady
thought the appraiSement too high The
economy of importing dresses from Paris
was impaired by the greed OF the Govern
ment in charging duties against them. 1t is
probable that the Vanderbilts, the Astors,
the Whitneys and other New York Million
aires are ardent free-traders. They want
to import their English yachts and their
Paris dresses at the lowest possible cost.
One would suppose that people who cannot
possibly spend tenth part of their income
would avoid appearing to the outside world
as ridiculously mean. They may not have
high estimation Of the outside world, but
its good opinion is nevertheless worth hay
ing

CLEANING OUT THE SENATE.

A special comes from Alabama which de-
clares that the principal object of the Ma
tionil Farmers Alliance is to "clean out"
the United States Senate This is a work
in which many men in both the old parties
will join. The average American has ceased
10 be proud of the Senate. AS the country
has grown rich and great the Senate has
gone down hill. A half-dozen experienced
men are all that saves it from contempt. A
man makes fortune in mining or railroad
ing, by the use of some patent machinery or
other kindred way, and straightway he pro-
poses TO buy seat in the Senate. The av-
erage Legislature has such seats for sale.
The worst of the business is that the average
Senator does not consider that he has done
wrong in buying his seat. He proposes to
vote with his party on party questions and
argues that his vote will count for as much
as if he had some understanding of the
measures he was voting upon. Fully two
thirds of the present Senate can be spared.
They bring neither the power of intellect
