Awicked Connecticut thunderbolt got
hold of a Tartar at the Cheney farm at
North Haven a few days ago when it
tackled barbed wire fence that encir-
cles big lot belonging to Mr.. Cheney
The bolt hit the fence near the house,
split itself in two, and the divided bolt
went entirely around the field in oppo-
site directions at the same time. The
wires jingled like a cotton spindle, but
held their own pretty well, though the
bolt yanked out Of the ground eleven

nrocreSsiye tendencies Of the new Chill, wnich
had made itself a great power on the "esV
Coast. After his Inauguration he displayed
tact In conciiating factions ana
partiAs and with united body of Congressional
adherents behind him many practical reform
measures were enacted.
Il was not until his term was half over thai
tbe Liberal Presidents popularity was under
mined He had recourse to the oid-uIne prdc-
tice of placing an official candidate IN the lleu,
If his fayorite had been an experienced orlclal
or even reputable one, less resistance would
have been encountered; but he chose a creature
with 4 tainted reputation who had been con-
snic,ons mainly for his stock operations on
,Cbanpe This was the beginning OF the end
The Liberal party, with the exception OF group
If nsrsonal followers arrayed itself against him.
Then followed a series of audacious attempts
TO govern the country without the consent OF
the Chambers, ending in the maintenance OF the
armv and the renewal Of financial supplies by
direct Executive act in violation Of the .consti-
tuition. As a military dictator he was defeated
when the generals whom he had bribed lost the
battle in front of Valparaiso. Unable to escape
tn the foreign men-of-war in the harbor, blocked
bv the Andean SHOWS which made Uspallata
impa sable, and convinced that his enemies
would be as metcless to him as he had been to
them during his despotic dictatorship, he died
by his own hand under the roof Of the Argentine
Legation, where he had found temporary shelter
1t was a melancholy end for man of real
political genius and fine intellectual qualities
A military execution and the excavations Of his
victorious enemies would have been less i'm
pressive than this final act of despair. Balma-
ceda by his ungovernable pride and self-will
had wrought so much evil that it was fitting
that he should die In such way as to emphasize
the moral of his inglorious career Not only
Chill but Spanish America as well will be
warned by his fate against military cabsls and
personal government, and taught the lesson that
enlightened public opinion is the only safe
guard Of free institutions.

RAJMlCEDA,S END

The suicide of Balmaceda at the Argentine
Legation in Santiago brings to a dramatic close
a career stored with the characteristic genius
and weakness of Spanish-American civilization.
A statesman OF genuine liberal tendencies en-
dowed with remarkable political capacity and
an enlightened mind, he was tempted by sheer
lust of power to resent legislative interference
with executive authority. to debauch the army
and to plunge the nation into disastrous war
There is hardly a Spanish-American country
which has not had at one period or another its
Balmaceda. Military relationships there have
been in Uruguay, the Argentine. Paraguay,
Bolivia, Peru Colombia. Venezuela, Central
America and Mexico Ordinarily the Execu-
tive who defed the legislative majority and
secured either the election OF a favorite or his
own continuance in Office by the Use of the
army has been successful and his usurpations
have been tolerated. Balmaceda was neither
more arrogant nor more INSCRIPTIONS, but mere
ly more unfortunate than twenty military die
tators who might BIO named from the annals of
Spanish American history.
When Bamaceda was elected to the Presi-
dency in 1886 he was not without experience
in public life. He had been Deputy for many

Minister. The Government Of Chill had been
controlled for generations by a comparatively
small body Of landowners. 1t was oligarchical
rather than republican in spirit, and one result
sof the victorious campaign with Bolivia and
Peru was the creation of a new and more demo-
cratic party in the nation Balmaceda was not
only an adroit tactician but also a practical re-
former swayed by liberal ideas. As the official
candidate he was favored in the elections by
the influence Of the retiring President, and on
this account the advanced faction Of the liberal
party opposed him; but he represented more
faithfully thsa any other public leader the
