NOPE LIGHT UPON CHILL.

The blooming liar not only of the
nineteenth century but of the historic
ages is doing duty at Valparaiso as
London Times correspondent. The
New York Herald's correspondent in
hill has frequently shown him up
but he continues to do duty at the
old stand. He reached high water
as a press liar when he cabled Lon
don that the: Americans in Chilli were
indignant and outraged over Hsrri-
sons message and that Harri-
son would apologize as soon
as the facts were known. This
is the fellow who betrayed
his own minister at Santiago
de Chilli and informed the world that
the English representative had
authorized the shipment OF Balma-
ceda's treasure to a foreign port, in an
English vessel, when in fact such
shipment was without the minister's
knowledge. The New York Herald
SAYS this was done to favor the Ger
man interests in Chilli at the expense
of England, the Times correspondent
having sold his services, Judas
like, for that purpose. This
fellow has at the same time at
tempted to bring Minister Egan
into disrepute in Chilli by classifying
the facts and disappearing the
circumstances on every occasion, to
the intent that a hostile feeling might
be created against Americans in Chill,
and against Minister Egan in WASH
ington whereby his recall would be
demanded. His effrontery is only
equalled by his mendacity, and his
browning feat is the sugges-
ton of an apology from Pres
ident Harrison for the language
of his late message. This matter is
worthy of reference only to show
how impressions hostile to this gov
eminent are created in Chilli and the
minds of those arrogant revolution
lists filled with animosity aud bitteI-
ness toward the United States. All
along the lines of action in Chill there
seems to have been an undercurrent
of hostility to America, growing out
of the determination of this country
to dispute with Germany and Eng
land their commercial supremacy
in the South Americas. Preserv-
ing an actual neutrality during the
late civil war In that republic, the
first to acknowledge the new govern
ment, offending in nothing save in
extending asylum to political refugees
on both sides, the United States has
given Chill cause tor otfense in
nothing, yet the new government
has manifested intense bitterness TO-
wards the United States from the be-
ginning. A bitterness as unjustifiable
Us it is nalevolent. This feeling cul-
minated in the murder of American
seaman by the Chilians, simply be-
cause these sailors were American,
and their uniform was hateful in the
sight of Chilli. This unprovoked
murder will be atoned for
if it calls for the shedding of more
blood in Chill than was spilled dur
ing their late war. The United States
aims at extending her commerce, and
she cannot do this unless her mer-
chantmen and sailors of every class
are certain of protection In every port
of the world. To insure such protec-
ton all uBprovoked attacks upon
them must be apologized for and in
Identified, or they must be punished.
Chill refuses apology and indemnity,
so it is reported, and if that report is
true Chilli will be whipped into apol-
ogy and compelled to pay such tribute
In damages as this country shall de-
mand.
SOME democratic correspondent
from Washington has lied about
Mills like son of Ananias. The re-
port wired over the country on the
morning of Crisp's election was to the
effect that he was the only
one of Crlsp's competitors who
refused to congratulate the
successful candidate. Now comes
