NEW BUT TARDY LIGHT.

1t is at last dawning on the mind of the
Administration that it is not neutrality to
treat one party in the Chilean struggle on
rebels and revolutionistS Also that it is
less in accordance with republican princi-
pies to do so when the favor is shown en-
tirely on the side of an executive who by
his own statement has maintained his po-
sition by usurpation and the assumption of
dictatorial powers. It is less pleasant to
have it intimated that the Government has
been misled by Misrepresentation of a
United States Minister inspired by corrupt
motives.
If Mr.. Egan has done what is re-
ported in the special telegram from Wash
ington to yesterdays DISPATCH he should
be made the subject of very sharp disci-
pline. But even the reported misrepre-
sentations of a diplomatic representative
can hardly be accepted as a sufficient ex-
PLANTATION of the mistakes acknowledged.
The Administration should have been able
to perceive, Independently of Mr.. Egan,
that neutrality does not consist of making
up its mind without hearing that one
party are rebels and outlaws, and shaping
its actions on that conviction. Especially
when Balmaceda's proclamation avowed
that he had assumed all the powers of
Government constitutional republic
ought to have perceived the danger of
showing all its favors to him and treating
the other parties as pirates. The DIS

A Novel Liquor Proposition.

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
The prime issue of national politics is the
liquor question. The life of the liquor traffic
is its profits. License gives it monopoly, and
therefore profits. License imparts to it a
degree of responsibility and indirectly en-
courages adulteration. As the liquor traffic
depends largely on it's profits, if you want to
kill it destroy its profits In the present
state of the public mind in dealing with the
liquor traffic it appears imperative to avoid
trespassing on personal liberty. To accom-
plish these objects different means might be
adopted, but the following are suggested:
Let the liquor for the whole State be con-
tracted for by the Government in several
different amounts the lowest bidder to have
the largest contract. A town or city COM
munity of not less than 1000 may apply to
the county court for an agent to sell who
will be paid out of the taxes of said COM
munity and elected by them. The place of
sale must be on main street and have
door only in front. The salesman must be
under bonds, must not sell to minors or ine-
briates, and must enter every sale in a book.
His stock must be constantly under Govern
ment inspection, and he may sell nothing
missa1 on conviction of failure in duty.
Doors to be open from 7 A. M. to P. NJ.
LIQUOR to be retailed at the wholesale price.
No one else permitted to sell.
License makes monopoly: monopoly
makes large profits; large profits multiply
business it is to concoct and sell a kind of
liquor that will make man thirstier the
more he drinks of it. If the business was
run in the lines 1 have indicated, the
they live, and think there would be very
few young topers manufactured.

PLATFORMS AND PRINCIPLES.

There is some foundation for the criti-
cisms of Republican journals on the sum-
mary notification by Governor Campbell
and his campaign manager, Lawrence T.
Neal, of the silver and income planks Of
the Ohio platform. That frank proceed
ing is justified by Democratic leaders with
the pertinent plea that the tariff is the real
issue, and that all others must go to the
wall in a campaign fought solely on that
question. So far, MeSsrS. Campbell and
Neal are right, and the fact that they are
on the wrong side of the leading issue
should be given due weight by the people
of Ohio.
Nevertheless it is very singular view
CT political ethics that permits candidate
to accept the nomination of party and
lightly throw overheard its authoritative
profession of principles If party plat
forms are worth anything at all, a candi-
date has the choice Of but two courses.
One is to accept and maintain the princi-
pies avowed in the platform; the other is
to decline a nomination which pledges
him TO false principles. 1t may be said
with some force that party platforms,
especially of the sort which catches
votes by such devices as the free
coinage and income tax planks, are not
worth anything; but that is more damag-
ing to the sincerity of party methods than
indicatory of the party candidates. The
way in which such course as that pur-
sued by Campbell and Neal can be made to
work is shown by the fact that it would
leave candidate at liberty to repudiate
the tariff plank and make his campaign on
the free silver and income-tax issues, if he
chose to do so.

Disclosure of an Alleged Plot to Rob the U.

rFRoN A STAFF CORRESPONDENT

rFRoN STAFF CORRESPONDENT
WASHINGTON, July 2S.-A day or two ago
Secretary Foster received from a place in
South Carolina o letter which is quite
unique, revealing plot to rob the Treasury.
1t is supposed to be the work of a practical
joker or some intellectual tramp" who
possibly has been played upon by some local
humorist. Without giving the matter any
attention the Secretary turned the letter
over to the Captain of the Treasury Watch.
Following is the letter:
Hon. Charles Foster, Head of Department, Wash
fngton, d. c.. A.
SIR-I've just been made aware of a plot of
desperate Southerner, of distinguished family and
rebel record, ina dyertently upon my promise of
secresy about the same, concerning a contemplated
raid and lootng of the United States Treasury
time next August. The way became cognizant of
the affair is this: Twas asked to arm up all the
desperadoes or tramps could, so as to be on hand
at such time afterward as would be informed of.
Their nodLS 0perdnduS Is to arrive In Washington
few days previous to the contemplated raid osten-
sibly as excurstonists, beneath the cognomen of
fraternal societies and so forth, get high de-
bauch, which would tax your police powers to the
utmost extent, and In the height of the melee, in
i've diverse sections of the city, away from the
Government buildings so as to create q diversion
in many places. Thus in the midst of such excite
ment, under cover of darkness a weli-armed body
of plunderers are to overawe the meager force at
the command of the Government and by explosion
of dynamite bombs add Confusion to The Already
chaotic programme; and in the midst thereof carry
off the plunder TO craft or crafts the Potomac,
or in special convoy by wagon rail to the coast
appointing agents the reward of their daring. A
majority of the concOurse not be let into the
secret of the attempt but are to be brought there
under recreation auspices etc. or fraternaI socie-
ties, by free ride at the expense of the wealthy
originator of the plot thought 1t behooved me to
acquaint you of the same in consequence Of the
consequence of recept Legislation. have dear sir,
the honor TO be yours, CHANCE r. LOCKE,

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.1
CAPE MAY, n. j., July 2s.-The Executive ap-
pointments to-day consisted of ten postmas-
ters, several Commissioners of Deeds for the
District of Columbia in various States, and
of the appointment of Charles E. Adams, of
Massachusetts,, as alternate Commissioner
for Worlds Columbian Exhibition. Ex-
Senator Warner Miller, who arrived last
night to talk over some matters with the
President before he sails for Europe to-mor-
row, went to New York this morning. This
morning the President continued his talk
with Secretary Tracy, over matters con-
nected with the Navy Department. As they
usually see each other often in Washington,
and not having met for sometime of late,
they consequently had much business to
transact and each had many recommenda-
tions to make. The Secretary was the guest
of the President while here, and left on an
afternoon express for Washington. On the
same train was Colonel William H. Crook,
Disbursing Clerk at the White House, who
also went to Washington.
General John W. Foster, who has been
negotiating the reciprocity treaty with
Spain, arrived here this morning, in COM
pany with Thomas W. Cridler, Chief of the
Diplomacy Bureau of the State Department.
They went at once to the Presidents cottage
and were busy over the arranging of the
final details for the President to issue his
proclamation declaring the treaty between
Spain and the United States in effect. At
bathing hour, enough time was taken just
before dinner for Secretary Tracy, Presi-
dent Harrison, Secretary Halford and Chief
Cridler to take an ocean bath, while General
Foster sat on the cottage piazza and watched
them. This afternoon the President held q
several minute reception at the Shoreham
Hotel and received about 300 Odd Fellows
and their wives of Wilmington, who were
here on an excursion. This afternoon the
President drove over to Cape May and bade
Secretary Tracy goodby, and left General
Foster at Congress Hall. The General will
go to Washington in the morning. Cardinal
Gibbons returned to Baltimore this morn

PITTsBURG, WEDNESDAY. JULY %, 1871
THE SLNER IssrE STATED.

That was a cautious statement of the
silver issue made by Governor Boies, of
Iowa, in accepting the Democratic NOM
inatiOn He confined himself to the fact
that silver WIS deprived of its coinage
rights in 1878, ''at time when our people
Nere burdened with enormous, national,
municipal and individual debt and that
''it is still hampered by statutory provisions
that are made in the interest of the cred
it0r at the expense of the debtor classes. %
This puts the demand of the Democracy
that silver shall be restored to its ancient
Ustate" as a demand in the interest of the
debtor class
But this necessarily includes the recog-
IlItiOn OF the purpose to alter the standard
6f values in order that the debtor classes
may have an advantage therefrom. If
silver is kept at par with gold the debtor
VIII have to pay just as much as he now
does. That is practically the complaint
o. the Governor in the paragraph quoted
from. The statutory provisions "have so
far prevented the lowering of the dollar to
about 50 per cent of its present value, and
have therefore been in the interest of the
creditor class. The interest of the debtor
class as concealed under Governor
Boies' profuse phraSeology is, briefly, that
the dollar or unit of value shall be lowered
about one-ffth, in order that debtors may
pav their debts with about one-fifth less
Of labor or goods.
With regard to this proposition the sill
Yer men rely for its justification on the
Fr.- hot sir iT1ir
tlajed in 1873 III favor Of the creditor
class. There are several objections to
that claim. The first is its inaccuracy in
point of fact When silver was demon
etized in 1878 the value of the silver dollar
was in excess Of the gold dollar, and it
was not coined for that reason. The
debtors did not lose cent by that demon
etization, although it is a fact that the
changes which took place in the years fol-
lowing did impose hardship on debtors
Ivy the steady appreciation in the exchange
value Of the gold dollar.
But, when that point is conceded, what
accuracy is there in the claim that two
wrongs make a right? If exactly the
same persons constituted the debtor and
creditor classes now as at that time, there
might be a certain barbaric justice in con-
fiscating one-ffth of the claims of the
creditor and giving it to the debtor, on the
argument that the operation in the seven
ties was the other way. But the two
classes have changed, and the proposition
of the silver men is practically to take 20
per cent Of AS property and give it to B
because there is a suspicion that Is per
cent Of C's property was taken away from
him and given to D nearly twenty years
ago.
Governor Boies is correct in asserting,
though somewhat dimly, that the real
bearing of the silver question is between
the debtor and the creditor classes But
when that is recognized the public will be

one Of its principal results, will take

PROFESSION VS.. PRACTICE.

Our friends, the Eastern journals, are
looking forward TO renewed agreement
of the anthracite coal corporations to re-
strict production closer than for the past
three months. This expectation is held
out as satisfactory performance for the
monetary classes and investors in Eastern
cities.
1t is difficult to see how the coal corpor-
ations can do this with any respect for
their public professions. They have for
maliy aVOwed in times past that their
agreement was only to produce 'Eas much
coal as the market would take" Now the
past three months have demonstrated that
even in the season of least demand the
market will show two million tons in ex-
cess of stipulated figures. To be true to
their profession, therefore, they must dur
ing the fall and winter agree to produce
even more coal than they have been doing.
They cannot otherwise fulfill their COM
bined desire TO supply the full demand of
consumers.
There is no escape from this course ex-
cept by the practical acknowledgment
that the professed purpose of the combi-
nation was shallow falsehood. But as
every one knows it to be that in the first
place, the dilemma viii not probably pre-

4 COMPROMISE VERDICT AGAIN.

Another compromise verdict made its
appearance yesterday in that Columbus
murder trial The conviction of W. j.
I,llintt of murder in the second degree,
though perhaps less inadequate in its re-
sun. is, like many other compromise ver-
dicrs, a total defiance of reason and good
llCic
The evidence left only one of two con-
CiusiOns possible Either Elliott attacked
Osborn with deliberate enmity engendered
by bitter quarrel, or he was attacked by
Osborn and shot him in self-defense The
evidence showed the former to have been
the case, and the brutal lawlessness of the
crime called for hanging if ever killing
die. But apart from that conviction, the
evidence left only one of two theories pos
sihle Either it was self-defense or muir
der in the first degree. As result Of
obstinate disagreement, however, the jury
brought in a verdict in accordance with
neither theory.
The result illustrates, as has frequently
heen done before, what little force logical
deductions from the evidence have in the
deliberations of the jury system.
