Let him Alone.

The following extract from an edit
orial in the Catholic Citizen, is about
the most sensible article on the Chini-
guy riot at Escanaba that we have seen !:
Let it he granted that the man is a
retailer of insulting lies and ISLANDERS,
and let it be granted that only bigots
and know nothings are interested in
hearing him talk. Nevertheless there is q
large element of Americans neither
bigots or know nothings who think
that Chiniquy has right to hire hall
and talk to those who want to hear
him. They believe, too, that persons
whc object to the proceedings and try
to mob such meetings are intolerant
and they are right. Their sympathles
are with Chiniquy when he is made q
martyr for freedom of speech. Other
wise they would pay no attention to
him whatever. What is the policy of
risjudicing this element? A catholic
n oh seeking to stihe Chiniquy does
more to damage Catholicity before the
bag OF pnblic opinion il one night than
Chiniquy himse can do in ten years.
Ist him alone. Don't seem to know
that he has visited your town. Don't
care anything about him. Theo nobody
else will.

The Chilian Struqqle.

The press dispatches, speaking of the
Chilian congressional party as rebels" 1"
do not give fair impression Of the two
forces that are now engaged in deadly
and probably final strife near Valparaiso
The congressional party represents COZ
stitutional government and is supported
bya large majority OF the people.
BaImaceda represents usurpation sup
ported by the army.
The dictator was elected president
for'a term ending the present year.
Under the constitution ofChi;i he was
ineligible to. reelection, but three years
ago, according to statements made by
the Chilian congressional agent in the
August Forum, he commenced schem-
ing to control the next administration
for hissown again. A year and q half
ago, during the recess of congress, he
replaced the parliamentary cabinet by
one composed of his own creatures.
When congress met in June 1890, 1t
passed vote of censure upon the cab
met, whereupon Balamaceda announced
his purpose to observe the presidential
rather than the parliamentary system
of government. Congress then refused
to l,ass the general tax bills and Balma-
cedA was forced to yield for the time
and appoint parliamentary ministry.
Having by this means secured the pas
sage OF the tax bills aud other admins.
trative measures he compelled the min
istets to resign and dissolved congress.
This was followed by one arbitrary act
aftef another until in January last he
issued manifesto proclaiminc himself
dictator and declaring that he had been
obliged to violate the constitution and
would continue to violate Il.
The supreme court declared his acts
illegal, and congress. exercising con-
stitntional prerogrative, deposed him
and called upon the people to aid in
putting him down. Balmaceda in turn
published decree assuming all public
authority, suspended the newspapers
and closed oil the courts. Since then
his course has bcen not only despotic
but brutal. cruel and barbarous in the
extreme. In the contest that ehsued
the people and the navy generally sup
ported congress, while the army, accus-
toned to obedience, was manipulated
in the interest of Balmaceda.
The congressional party has On estab-
lished governments in the form OF a
Junta, called in the dispatches the
Junta de Gubierno. Up to the time ol
the present. Campaign It had peaceful
and undisputed possession OF about hall
the Chilian territory, yielding more
than two-thirds of the revenne OF the
whole country. The decisive battle
now in progress will probably deter

whether the dictator shall continue fol
