Minister EKan Instructed to Recognize the
Junta Government
SANTIAGO, Sept S-The provisional
government of the republic of Chilli will
be formally recognized by the govern
ment of the United States to-day. Min
lister Patrick Egan has received cable
dispatch from the state department at
Washington instructing him to treat
the Junta de Gobierno as the govern
ment de facto of the country. Infor-
nation to this effect was unoficially
conveyed to Senior Jorge Montt presi-
dent of the junta, soon after the re-
ceipt Of the cable dispatch. Minister
Egan will be cordially received by the
junta for the news he brings if for
nothing else. Members of the proviE-
!onal government were much pleased
at the receipt of this information,
though they were not greatly sur
prised- They felt that as soon as the
United States understood the situation
here, that order had been restored
throughout the country, and that the
authority of the junta was universally
recognized, Mr. Egan would receive
the instructions which came TO him
yesterday.
1t is the opinion here that Senior Pc
dro Montt, who is now in Washington
as the representative of the junta, will
be regularly accredited minister from
Chilli TO the United States as soon as
the matter can be reached This, it is
thought, win not be many days

HUSH POLITICS.

Kansas City Journal: Without
regard 10 the senatorial contest, we
do not believe that any secret society
can for any length Of time control
the destinies Of . great state like
Kansas. The Know-nothings work
ed under the sign and the password.
They exercised the sharpest espion-
age over men In authority. That
secret society was arrogant and con-
fident, but when the people once
comprehended the situation they
made short work Of secret politics.
The Masons were only suspected
Of using their organization for politi-
cal purposes, but the moment the
suspicion got fixed In tlIe minds Of
the voters war was made on the
Masonic fraternity. The American
people have Q detestation for locked
doors when lt 10 once known that
the every day affairs Of the Nation
are being discussed In secret. We
believe that the time will come
when secrecy on the part Of public
officials will not be tolerated. Re-
forms can never come from states
men and politicians who are afraid
to make the people confidants In
their political movements. Royalty
may scheme and consplre In the
dark with guards at the door, but
free men do not have to adopt that
kind OF policy.
We speak Of these matters as liz
cidents In the senatorial contest st
Topeka. They are sure indications
Of events 70 come In the history OF
this alliance movement, and as
matters proceed the people Of the
state will become more and more
thankful that between this secret
conclave and their business affairs
stand an able, conscientious COVER
nor, and . senate devoted to the in
terests OF all, rather than the wishes
Of class formulated behind closed
doors and enforced by systematic
coercion Of legislative voters.

PhiladelphIa North American:

elect PETER, somewhat due 10 nature,

Senator Ingalls, IL brilliant rather

PETER IL apparently neither brilliant
nor profound. But the chief burden
Of the speeches In the senate by
Ingalls, for two or three years past
has been cheap money aud free
coinage, and that was the platform
In chief exhibited by Mr.. PETER be-
fore the legislature that has just
honored him, and probably itself,
by an election. True PETER wants
absolute free trade, but In that, ct

not by any means predicable Of the
