SUPPOSE A WAR.

Americans generally will not regret if it becomes necessary, in order te clear the air, to have a little short war with Chile. It is just as the evening Star says: They are fighting race" Y" They are of Spanish stock, and they have grown up in cooler country than Spain. They have had three wars in the last few years, and they are not afraid. It would not be bad thing to have little war with them; it would not be bad thing if some European power that does not appreciate the power of the United States any more than Chile does, were to join with them. We do not think any war will come of it; we think the policy of our govern ment at present is to avoid war if possible; we think the feeling in the cabinet of the United States is that q war with any power in Europe, no matter how great, would be preferable to war with any of the republics to the south of us. Any one who reads the English pspers can see very pialnly that there will be war ii they can bring it on.
 In the meantime we hope our country will hurry forward the ships that are on the ways, and keep the foundries hot where the guns are being manufactured.
 And it would only be reasonable pre- caution to have battery or two of those guns sent at once to our west coast, be- cause ever since her war with Peru, a certain class in Chile have been making threats that they could easily lombard San Francisco and would like to do it.
 In this connection, we wish that Cap tain Schley of the Baltimore" was an other Farragut. We do not think he would ask of the authorities of Valpa- raiso safe conduct for his officers and men who might go ashore Oh business more than once. We think he would pull his ship up where his range would be convenient, and give them notice . that whenever his officers and men went ashore on business they must not be molested, and ii they were, the whole city would answer for it under the spell of the shells from the A"Balti- lnore." That is the only thing that this people respect; that is, an exhibi- tion of power and perfect willingness to use it if necessary.

TIE AMOUNT OF British gold squand- cred in Ohio, to insure the defeat of Major Mckinley, would be enough to start a hundred industries in this terri tory. The result proves that the Brit ish gold was wasted from British point of view, though in reality it was not wasted but absorbed by the wide-awake citizens of that state. They are no doubt perfectly willing to receive any amount of the same filthy lucre on the same terms.

THE AFRICAN BUSH.

A Terror-Insp ring Land Where Silence
and Heat Arc Fsightfu,.
To see this land typically one should
outspan ones wagon on the top OF a
height on summers midday, says a
writer in the Fortnightly Review.
Not a creature stirs anywhere and
the sun pours down its rays on the
1accid dust covered leaves of the
bushes. When the driver has gone to
lie down behind the bushes, aud the
leader is gone to take the oxen to
water. if you stand up alone on the
chest at the front of the wagon and
look out you will see as far as your
eye can reach over hills and dales the
silent motionless, hot bush stretching.
Not a sound is to be heard, and the
heat is SO intense your hand blisters on
the tent of the wagon where you have
rested it; only from clump of bush
at your right cicada sets up it's keen,
shrill cry glorying in the heat and SOL
itude of the bush. Not less character
istically do you see it when, as little
child. you travel through it in the
night. The OK wagon creeps slowly
along the sandy road; the driver
walking beside calls at intervals to his
tired oxen; we look out across the
wagon-chest and see as the wagon
moves along how the dark outline OF
the bushes on either side seems to
move too; great clump seems coming
nearer and nearer like vast animal;
the shapes are magnifed by the dark.
We creep closer down behind the
wagon chest and look across it.
Against the dark night sky on our
right, on the ridge of the hill. are the
gaunt forms of aloes, standing like
row of men keeping watch. We re-
membered all the stories we had heard
of Kaffir wars and men shot and stab
bed as they passed along hillsides, and
of wild animals. and we creep down
lower; then a will-o-the-wisp comes
out from some dried-up torrent
bed, and far before us dances in and
out among the clumps Of bush, now in
and now out again. j
You are glad when the people in
the wagon begin to sing hymns and
more glad yet when at $3.50 the wagon
stops, drawn up against q great clump
of bush at the roadside. The tired oxen
are taken from the yoke, and every
one climbs out. and fire is lighted,
and you gather from far and wide
stumps of dried elephants food and
euphorbia that you can drag with one
hand. and bits of branch and dry twig,
and throw them on the fire; the flame
leaps higher and higher and all sit
down beside the ruddy blaze.

leaps up and illumines the great and
dusty body of the wagon with its
white sails, and glints on the horns OF

their yokes, chewing the cud. and on
