MATTERS in Chile do not improve at all
President Montt is said to be favorable to
an amicable adjustment Of the difficulty, and
his Cabinet, which is entirely made up of
Liberals, is represented to be equally favor
able; bat nothing has been said or done to
calm down the feelings Of the populace. The
scenes around the United States Legation in
Santiago continue 70 be irritating and hu-
initiating. Spies throng about the building
and annoy the inmates by speech and acts,
and the Chilean Minister OF Foreign Affairs
had the impudence 70 reply to the remon-
STRANGE of Minister Egan that it was not he
but the inhabitants Of the neighboring
houses who had the most reason 10 COM
plain, since the latter were excessively an
noyed by the words and conduct Of those
who had taken refuge in the Legation. This
view Of the trouble meets the approval of
the English, who are doing their best to
fomeut trouble between the two Nations,
and the London papers attach all the blame
to the Legation. The investigation into the
massacre Of the Blltimore's crew shows con-
clusively that it was a deliberate OfIense
against them as Americans. The Valparaiso
authorities try 10 make out that it was a sail
or's riot Of such proportions as to be beyond
the control of the police. But there were
only 30 American sailors present, and the
police arrested 36 of these, with few OF no
arrests Of the 1000 ChiIeans which the In
tendente says were in the mob. The officers
Of the Baltimore were refused the customary
right OF being present at the examination of
their men before the authorities The sail
ors and officers do not 20 ashore for fear of
insult and violence, while the sailors of other
| Nations are treated courteOuslyi in the streets
Of Valparaiso. In the MEANWHILE we are
concentrating strong fleet in those waters.

THE fate of Edward Davis, of Mt. Car
mel, Pa, is lesson for those who believe
that pensions can be had for the asking. lie
has been struggling for years to get what
was due him for his military services, and
the sickening suspense, with the narrowing
hopes and fears so well known to all pension
applicants, so affected him that when his
pension was at length allowed him last week
he fell on hearing the good news.

II may be that the Chilean Adminislrn.

III may be that the Chilean Administration
is playing policy that was strongly urged
upon our own Government at the close OF
the rebelliOn-that Of promoting a foreign
war in order 10 promote the reconciliation
Of the country. This policy has its dangers.
The Balmacedists, who are being treated
with 80 much severity, and who claim TO
have been overthrOwn by treachery, might
become our allies, and 90 turn the tables
upon their vanquishers.
The National tribune., 1891-12-31
IRON COUNTRY TO CITY.

Germany finds the same disposition Of the
country people 10 flock TO the towns and
cities that is alarming the publcists in other
countries. As the Germans think every
thing can be regulated by law and the police,
they propose to pass a law making the peo-
pie stay on their farms unless they can show
TO the policies satisfaction that they are
capable Of taking care OF themselves in the
city.
So far as the migration to the cities in
this country is concerned, it gives us no ap-
prehension. In the first place, the fact that
we have such enormous quantities of food
to export, shows that we have an undue
proportion Of our people engaged in culti-
waiting the soil, and not enough employed in
manufacturing. Exporting food products
is in the long run the least profitable form of
commerce. The margin Of profit on them is
always very small, the cost OF carriage is
very great, and must be paid by the pro-
ducer. We shall arrive at theoretically
proper condition when we shall have Just
enough people engaged in manufacturing to
consume all the food products OF our acres
There is one influence that most thinkers
ignore, which will strongly counteract the
tendency Of active, enterprising men to
leave the farm and seek broader careers in
the city. This is the rapid development Of
the science Of farming IL is no longer
regarded as the duh, ignorant drudgery IL
once was, but as a digniGed profession, call
ing for as much knowledge aud trained skill
as any that men follow, and giving as rich
rewards az any other. The ambitious y0ung
man is beginning to understand that If he
have brains, industry aud thrift, a farm Of
1 100 acres will afford as brilliant field for
them, with Rs rich rewards, as he can find in
law, medicine, politics, manufacturing or
merchandising. There are not a few farms Of
much less size in the United States which
have been made 10 yield larger income than
large stores or great factories, or successful
practice in one Of the sO-called learned pro-
/ fessions. The farmer in New York-at Mt.
Morris we think-who has made his celery
bed Of % acres yield him $4,000 n year, il
making better income ont Of il, and a better
standing for himself in society than % out OF
every 100 lawyers, doctors, manufacturers
and merchants in the United States. ofcourse
il will he said that lac is an exceptional
man, which is true. But, then, only excep.
tiOnal men make exceptional successes in
any vocation The same kind of men who
make brilliant successes as lawyers, doctors
merchants and manufacturers, make brilliant
successes raising Bartlett pears, or celery, OF
biackbeuies, or fine sheep. There is more
room for brains on farm than anywhere
else in the world They will pay ius
as much there As anywhere else, and rail
roads have made nearly all parts Of In,
country equally favored in this respect
There is scarcely any section so poor o.
50 remote but that thrifty, brainy mar
can make the land produce sometime
at a large profit He will study its posi-
bilities, adapt himself and his methods 10 ID
conditions, and reap a golden return.

This makes a total Of over Si3 0g0.O
more than the annual value Of our pension
roll, in which is included all the pensions
paid on account Of the War Of 1912 The
Mexican war, aud our countless Indian
waIss several Of which were as big as many
European wars.
There are two potent considerations 10 be
kept in mind in examining these figures
which the General gives. The first is that
the pensioners who receive pensions 10 the
annual value Of Ss9,2l7, 200 represent more
terrific fighting, longer service in the pres
ence Of The enemy, aud many more killed
on the fcld Of battle, than do the pensioners
10 whom England, France, Germany, Aus
tria, aDd Russia pay an aggregate Of
S1O2 100000.
The second is that the pension-rolls OF
these Nations do not begin TO represent
what is actually done for the veteran sol
diers aud their dependent ones They are
taken care Of in thousands Of WAYS not pos.
sibio in this country. In Germany, France
aud Austria none but veterans are employed
on the State railroads Ex-soldiers, ex-
soldieus' wives, widows, and other depend
ent ones arc switch and crossing tenders
and wherever the Government has any
work 10 do Il is II possible, given 10 those
who served il faithfully IN the Geld, or tC
