are commencing him as an opponent of free
silver Mr.. Mills himself has taken pains to
deny to the Baltimore Herald story that
If made Speaker he had agreed to pack
the coinage committee with a majority of

Boutelle, land his ability has been tried

The New York law which compels can
didates to make public how much money
they spend for campaign purposes and how
1t is spent was designed of course to pre-
vent the illegitimate use of money at cleo
tons. But in practice it is the veriest
humbug. As political organizations are
not required to disclose their expenditures
or the purposes Of them all the candidate
has to do to effectually eyade the law is to
hand over his money to the campaign COM
mittee, who can Ispend 1t as they see fit
without danger of being called upon for
particulars. If the law is to fulfil its pur-
pose it must be made to apply TO campaign
committees as well as to candidates.,

Judging from the Associated Press let
tiers from Chill the dislike of the ChiIians
for the United States is attributable
largelyto series of unfortunate misun-
derstandings. Though there appears to
have been no act done which when rightly
interpreted could be regarded as indicating
hostility on the part of our government to
the revolutionists or Partially for Balma-
ceda 1t cannot be denied that the visit of
Admiral Brown to the rebel port and the
cutting of the cable at Iquique made out
sort of prinG fdcie case of partially on
the part of our navy. Sooner or later
probably there will be an invesgation of
the conduct of Minister Egan and of our
naval officers, and then we shall see
whether or not they were guilty of any
indiscretions. That they wilfully in
volved the government in the quarrel is
not likely, but in times of great excite
ment, people are very sensitive and
suspicious. and it is necessary not merely
to avoid actually doing anything question
able. but also to avoid the appearance of
doing anything of that kind. 1t may be
that our minister and admiral were not
quite careful enough in this respect,

The reports which come from Brazil are
so contradictory that it is impossible to ar
rive at any definite conclusion regarding
the situation there beyond the fact that
Congress has been dissolved and that Fon-
SEGA has set himself up as dictator. He
processes that his intention is to retain the
dictatorship only until he has suppressed
the enemies of the Republic. but as he ap-
pears to reserve to himself the power to de-
eide who are enemies he can probably pro-
long his job to the end of his life, provided
he can get the army and navy to assist him
In the suppressing business. Like all
South American dictators he has early in
his career seized upon the news channels
and is permitting nothing to go through
them unless it makes for his case.

One of the chief issues In the Iowa cam
paign was the prohibitory law, the Demo-
Gratis declaring in favor of its repeal and
the Republicans against it. The full re-.
suits of the election show that prohibit
ton has had very narrow escape The
Governor is in favor of the repeal of the
law and would quickly sign bill to that
effect. The majority of the Senate is made
up OF Democrats, who would eagerly pass
such bill. But In the House there is a
very small Republican majority, probably
not more than three. So the prohibitory
statute is likely to remain, for though
great effort will be made to secure enough
Republicans to repeal the law it is hardly
possible that 1t can be successful mas
much as the Republican platform con.
tained distinct and positive pledge tc
retain the prohibltory law.

The nomination of William E. Russell
for Democratic candidate for President by
the Boston Globe is not destitute of sig
niicance perhaps, though it will probably
not materialize in the selection of that
gentleman. Hitherto the Hon. Grover
Cleveland has been the Massachusetts ia
vorite, but the bringing forward of an
other name by the most prominent Demo-
cratic newspaper In that state would
seem to indicate that Mr.. Cleveland's
strength was waning among the unterri-
fed Democracy of the Bay State. Mr..
Russell If nominated would be the young
est candidate that ever headed Presiden-
tial ticket. Should he he elected he would
be but .thirty-six on Inauguration day or
but one year older than the constitution
requires.

Qui waited impatiently many days for
the builder to come to his house. He
was well fed now and had something
better than ~ bare limb of tree Tor .
bed, for the little girl took excellent
care Of him; but often enough he feared
that he would not see the builder until
the family returned to the city and then
he would have to remain crow all win
ter. But one day, to his great Joy, he
saw the builder coming up the walk.
His daughter had him in her arms at the
time. and before she could grasp him
tightly his wings were spread and he
was away. Up over the tree he went
and then down upon the lawn where he
had thrown himself in the early SAM
mer. He lost no time, for he feared
the builder might get out of his hearing.
and opening his bill to the utmost he
croaked:

Though there are many mysterious
disappearance recorded in the police
archives, few are ever explained. Some
attempts at explanation have been
made, but they are mainly speculative.
The most plausible speculation of this
kind was elaborated by journalist q
few years ago. who attributed these dis
appearances to holes in space, into
which the victims accidentally tumble,
and are forever afterward invisible, in
tangible, immortal and incapable Of
escaping. The mystery of Qui Fassett's
disappearance is truthfully given here.
His case may be an isolated one. but IL
is wholly improbable that transforma-
tions such as his occur. and that the vic
