Hannibal Harhlin.

Hannibal Hamlin's death was case
ofthe machinery stopping without warn
ing, no previous illness, no agony, just
o going to pieces like the wonderful
one hoss shay For one who has lived
more than the allotted years and is pre-
pared to go this is an ideal dissolution.
notwithstanding his age Mr.. Hamlin
had health far above the ordinary. He
/ was very active and fond Of walking in
all kinds OF weather. No matter how
cold the day he wore no overcoat until
about a year ago.
Mr.. Hamlin was one Of the earnest
men who left the Democratic party on
the slavery issue and never went back
to it. For nearly forty years he was
almost continuously in the United
States Senate as a senator or as the pre-
siding officer. He was the last Of the
living ex-yice-P President,
II he had been nominated when
President Lincoln was the country
would not have known Johnsonism and
the turmoil that went with it. Mr..
Hamlin will not be known in history as
agreat man, but he was oneof the most
efficient and faithful public servants
the country has had. He was a reader
and thinker, and when he had reached
aconclusion he trod the straight path
Of duty and permitted no slight obstacle
tobalk him. He was a good kind OF
man to have in an important place. His
death creates no vacancy, but it recalls
most honorable service.

gSeS yorE Tribune.
Another point has been scored for
the reciprocity policy. The American
Minister at Caracas has informed the
State Department that the Congress OF
Venezuela has armed the President with
full authority to make q commercial ar
rangement with the United States in &C.
cordance with the provisions OF the re-
ciprbcity amendment and to put II into
operation without delay. With this
legislative sanction the Executive Gov.
eminent will be certain to respond
fayorably to the proposals OF the State
Department, and to enter into
negotiations on the basis Of the
Brazilian agreement. The United States
already has large and steadily increas-
ing EXPORT trade with Venezuela, which
has been developed in the face OF heavy
duties upon American flour and other
products. The removal OF the duty on
Hour, amounting to So or SO barrel,
and corresponding reductions in other
schedules OF imports will involve the
doubling Of the export trade. THESE
concessions can be equitably demanded,
for Venezuela after Brazil is the largest
coffee depot on the continent from
which the American supply Is derived.
The imports received from La Guayra,
Maracaibo and Puerto Cabello are
heavily in excess OF the exports shipped
In return. "a commercial treaty will
tend to rectify these inequitable condi-
tons OF exchange.
The State Department will have ey-
erything in its favor in pressing the ne
gotiations with Venezuela to a success
ful issue. There is strong prejudice
there against England in conse-
ouence OF the boundary dispute with
Guiana, and there is a most cordial feel
ing Of friendship for the United States
The American Minister at Caracas has
done excellent work in promoting q,
good understanding between the Gov
ernments, and can be dependedupon to
make satisfactory commercial agree
ment with the advice of the enterpris-
ing American firm that now largely
controls the export trade with that
country. The State Department has
opened the way for this result by lend.
ing its support to Yenezuelas demand
for arbitration OF the boundary dispute
and bv disposing of several minor
controversies which had been pending
for many years. Venezuela is one OF
the most promising fields for American
mercantile energy. No pains should
be spared by the State Department in
order to promote the most friendlyfeel-
ing in that quarter Of South America.
The Pan-American railway project may
not be a practicable undertaking, but
Puerto Cabello can be converted into
the northern terminus OF transporta,
ton into tthe interior which would
bea enterprise. 1tshould
be one Of the objective points OF Ameri-
can commercial policy to promote mil
way building on that coast and to bring
New York. and New Orleans into CON

How the Flag Grows.

A reader desires to know why it is
that on the admission Of a new State we
do not add a new stripe as well as now
star, according to the original design.
stars may be added almost indefinitely,
but new stripe for each new State
would give us by this time forty.iour
stripes with more to follow, which
would make an unwieldy affair.
In 1878 Congress fixed the number Of
stripes at thirteen, representing the
Original States, and decided that for each
new State new star should be added
ON the Fourth Of Jnly next after the
admission Of the State. The change in
the flag is proclaimed by the President,
who designates the order in.which the
stars shall be placed.

How 1t was Accomplished = Interesting
Account OF tho Episode.
San DIEGO, CAL, July 5.-The officers
and several passengers on the Chilean
steamer 1tata, which arrived here from
Iquique in control of tho United States
cruiser Charleston yesterday, recite
some interesting incidents connected
with the arrival OF the ltata at lquique.
They say when the Itata steamed INTO
the harbor at Iquique her officers dld
not know the vessel had already been
delivered 10 the United States, and that
formal demand had already been made
on the insurgents for the surrender oil
the vessel. They stated that this de-
mand was accompanied by the follow
ing message from American flag ship:
"If you refuse and do not give her up
peacebly, l will seize every one OF your
ships and blockade every port on your
coast"
The reply Of the insurgents was sim
ply an order for Captain Mansen to de-
liver the Itata, her cargo and effects
into the hands OF the United States au-
thorities. The Captain OF the Baltimore
went aboard. the 1tata and presented an
order to Captain Mausen with the
words: "1n the name OF the United
States of America, l confscate this ship
and her cargo" !,
'tTllat's ali right; that's all right, I"
said Captain Mausen, ~ am a German
subject, you can do nothing with me,
take the ship"
The commander of the Esmeralda,
who had remained on board the ltata
and ACCOMPLISHED his mission, in COM
pany with several brother officers, was
soon on the shore and safe from further
pursuit. The Itata's engines were
found to be in bad condition, owing to
the terrible strain put upon them, and
several days were spent in repairing
them.
The Chileans were averse to undoing
the results OF their long and tedious
voyage, and on the day OF departure
she was signalled again and again to go
ahead, and only when ordered to- put
to sea at once, water or no water" did
she abandon her flimsy excuse and
obey.
The feeling onthe part of the Chilean
congressional party is extremely bitter
towards the United States, to which.
they looked, if not for assistance, at
least for non interference. The insurg-
ents have about 10000 men in the field,
while the government forces are not
quite as numerous. Besides, the in
surgents have taken possession of al
most the entire country north OF Val
paradise.

We Arc In II.

America has won another triumph,
thanks to the lavish hospitality and
tact of Mrs. Bonanza Mackay. At her
great dinner in London there was
nobility and there was royalty enough
to fill a dozen dlmeh museums. Mrs.
Maekay went to the table on the arm Of
prince and young Mackay led out a
princess. But this does not indicate
the full scope Of the triumph.
About a thousand invitations were
asked for by the "smartest English set"
and they were masnificently refused.
That was the triumph. In this country
our best society is not "smart" enough
to ask for invitations, and so no host or
hostess ever feels the delicious pain Of
being obliged to decline to extend amin
yitation prayed ior. 1t is comforting to
know that our national honor is being
worthily upheld under at least one
monarchy.

The Kanawha q Ailehlgan pIsaster.

The Kanawha & Michigan Disaster.
The smash-up near Charleston on the
Kanawha & Michigan Railroad is the
worst thing of the kind that ever hap
pened in West Virginia. It does not
come under the head of accidents, for it
could have been prevented. The tim.
beers OF the trestle we're on FIRE in the
night, and examination disclosed that
they we're nearly burned through.
1t was somebody's business to know
that the trestle was in condition to
carry train over before the first train
Of the day came along. The denser the
fog the more reason for extra careful-
ness. II a signal could not be discerned
from its usual place the train should
have been warned in time to save it.
This would be not only good railroading
but good common sense.
The Kanawha 4 Michigan, SO far asst
is known in West Virginia, has never
had any management to speak. Of on its
operating side. Those who have con-
trolled it have seemed TO aim primarily
at operating its stock and securities.
Accidents occur on the best managed
railroads, but the condition of this par
ticular road and the way in which it
was run have rather prepared people
along its line for serious disaster
somewhere at no distant time. Who
ever has gone safelyover it has felt him
self the object OF a special providence.
The investigation should be as thor
ough rs it can be made, and the COM
pany must be held to its full accounts
bility under the law, no matter how far
that accountability may reach or whom
it may include.

striI,c Failed.

The failure OF the Pittsburgh car
penter's strike is accounted for by one
Of them ON the ground that the time
was not well chosen, that there was
virtually no money back Of the strikers,
that their method was bad, and that
they lacked the support Of other labor
organizations.
II All this be true the strike was sadly
damaged before 1t was struck. The
critic here quoted thinks that good will
come out Of the failure, for the next
time the carpenters will get themselves
ready before they move.
