LIMIT TO RAPACITY.

Elsewhere we publish a communica-
ton from Citizen" respecting the fur
nishing OF the new Courthouse and the
Whittier Reform School. Our corre-
spondent asks the names of the grand
jury, who are supposed to be investi-
eating this matter. We have given
them elsewhere, and we have no doubt
that they are in every respect all that
they should be. and that they will ap-
prove themselves good citizens and re-
sponsive to their duties. 1t will be
difficult to persuade the taxpayers OF
this county that it should have cost
$4,000 to furnish the new Courthouse,
and that the contract to furnish that
building at an outlay Of such magnitude
was undertaken rather as favor to the
county than otherwise. Expert tes-
timony shows that the most ex-
traordinary figures have boen charged
for the furniture supplied. The
claim that there is nobody in
Los Angeles capable of giving expert
testimony on this matter is simply
absurd. 1t is of itself dead give away.
The people of Los Angeles have been so
much in the habit of giving two prices
for everything they use that they are
probably delighted to know that they
have not in all cases been charged four
prices. In some cases they have been
charged more than four prices. We
have great friendship for any Los An
geles manufacturing establishment, and
the fact that the Hon. Henry Harrison
Markham, governor of the State of Cal
ifornia, is the principal owner in the
Los Angeles Furniture company, which
has supplied this furniture, would, un-
der ordinary circumstances, rather in
crease our friendship for it. But there
seems to have been a little too much
rapacity in this matter, and in the fur
nishing of the Whittier reform school,
to allow the thing to pass without some
detailed mention. The grand jury, we
are confident, will have something in
teresting to say on these topics.

COOL MCGUIRE.
He Saves His Life and Captures a
Lunatic.

He Saves His Life and Captures a
Lunatic.
Officer Mcclure was in rather a tight
place yesterday morning, from which
he rescued himself by presence of mind.
Word was received that a crazy man
was performing in anything but satis-
factory manner in the Spence block, at
the corner of Commercial and Alameda
streets. Officer Mcclure went up into
the building, and was, told that Charles
Finck, who has been janitor of the
building for four or five years past, had
gone crazy, and was shooting off re-
volvers in his room under the delusion
that a number of people were trying to
kill him. There had been general
scattering in the building when it be-
came known what was the matter, and
it was an exceedingly risky business to
tackle the crazed man and arrest him.
The officer went through the hall toward
the room, and suddenly a door opened
and Finck danced into the hall with a
loaded revolver in each hand. He
waltzed around Mcclure, who had his
revolver out, but concealed behind him.
"You're one of the -, are you D
shrieked the lunatic. "Well, Pll lust
settle you right here" and he pointed
his artillery square into Macs face, who
began to wish he had not been so speedy
in attempting to secure Finck. What
he thought, and what he did, however.
were two different things. Coolly ad,
dressing the crazy fellow, he asked him
if he wasn't making mistake. Finck
dropped his gun and asked him what
he meant.
81 have come here to protect you from
your enemies" calculated the officer.
II am an officer" and he showed his
star. It was touch and go, but Finck
quieted down in an instant and told
Mcclure that ne was his kind OF people.
Then he got him to go and see if he
couldn't see some of his enemies, and
the officer finally got him to 60 with
him on the pretext of hunting for his
en- emies. Finck has been having quite
attack of sickness, and became unbaI-

fronted in Chile we're suffered
to go without redress or manful
remonstrance. During General Grants
administration the Virginius episode
occurred-one of the most humiliating
to our national pride on record. While
the Spaniards in Cuba were shooting
down Americans. composing the crew of
the Virginius, on theGenuine Aceldema
principles, the British Admiral was com
peiied to interfere il order to to protect
the remnant OF Americans who were
left unslaughtered. Grant continued to
smoke his partagas undisturbed, and
Spain did not even condescend to make
an apology. Not only that, but she
promoted the butcher Burriel, and the
whole episode was one OF ineffable dis
grace to this country.
That was under Grant, the great hero
of the war. No wonder that little Chile
thinks she can bully us The Chron-
icle's solution of the matter is infamous
and untrue.
1t was under Grover Cleveland, with
Mr.. Whitney as secretary of the navy,
that the plan of a serviceable American
navy was developed. Under the en-
lightened policy then adopted it has
been calculated that it would require
ten years to give the United States
navy commensurate with the progress
that has been made in modern warfare.
Since Mr.. Harrison has come in.o Office
all that has been done has been to carry
out the programme mapped out by
Democratic administration-that OF
Cleveland, which has shown the first
signs OF return to the noble traditions
which signalized Democratic admins
trations of the naval affairs of the
United States that have been noted
since the war.
So much for the Chronicles cheek
cheek sublimated and unparalleled.

Lowers Power as a Poet.

The chief element of LowelPs strength
was the intensity of that moral sym
pathy which makes his best poetry dis
tinctly didactic. The best chords of his
Tyre are exactly those in which he
means to preach; and it is his main
glory that he stood in the forefront of
that radiant band of mighty orators, and
ethereal poets, and heaven-born rul-
ers, whose eloquence and wisdom
emancipated $4,000 slaves, and
whose names are therefore written,
like those OF Clarkson and Wilberiorce,
on the noblest page of their country's
history. Nor was it only for the slave,
and against the slave owner, that Lowell
could plead. He was one whose heart
bled for the sorrows OF the poor. He
saw the glory of Gods world, and in
some of his noblest verses has fulfilled
that function of the poet which consists
in using his fine sense to interpret to
our blunter conceptions the meaning Of
its beauty, as in the preludesof his Wis
ion of Sir aunfal.-[Archdeacon Farrar
in the Forum.

The latest news from Chile is by no
means of reassuring character, and it
is such as would naturally and almost
inevitably lead to the breaking off of our
diplomatic relations with that country.
This by no means necessarily means war.
1t did not mean war in the instance in
which Italy withdrew her minister from
Washington, following the Malta murders
in New Orleans. In much graver con-
juncture, at the opening of the present
century, it did not mean war when the
French republic withdrew it's minister,
Genet, from this country. But that in
cident very nearly meant war. The first
consul of France, who afterwards became
the Emperor Napoleon the First, con-
stantly tried to plunge the United States
into war with England. This country
pursued dignified and infexible policy,
and only went to war with England
when Napoleon was prisoner of war
on the island Of st. Helena. While our
present relations with Chile do not call
for actual war, on the supposition that
Egan and his refugees get out alive,
they undoubtedly do call for suspen-
sion of diplomatic relations, unless
the small republic is actually bent on
on blood. In the latter emergency the
United States would not be so embar-
rassed as might be supposed. The
German admiral conveyed Sefor Vicu-
ma, the lately elected Balmacedist presi-
dent of Chill, to Peru. The Peruvians
are eager to regain the conquered Peru
vian provinces, whose rich nitrate beds
supplied the sinews OF war to the Con-
gressionalists in the last conflict. The
Bolivians are not friendly to Chile.
With little diplomacy, reasonable
sum of money and a trifing naval and
military succor from the United States,
the Chilean junta might be brought
very quickly to regret its brutal and
bumptious action.

Impending Famine in Russia.


1t will be the most terrible on record
more terrible even than that of 1910.
The crops have been destroyed, or al
most destroyed in twenty-six. provinces
of European Russia. :,
In six provinces more than one-half
of the districts are afflicted with the
same calamity. In thirteen provinces
the harvest promises to be middling--
sufficient for the needs OF the popula-
ton, leaving no surplus.
Only in the Northern Caucasus, In the
few northern provinces, and in three
districts Of the southeast, the harvest is
expected to be above the average. Signs
of acnte famine are already visible !;
thousands of peasants are starving upon
grass boiled in water, people are dying
Of hunger in the streets, and parents adj
vertising their children for sale in order
not to see them die before their eyes.
