The Itata's Escape.

! There is no reason TO doubt that the
cruiser Charleston is trying to overtake the
[ Itata, the Chilean insurgent steamer, which
slipped out Of the harbor Of San Diego the
other day, loaded with munitions of war.
/ but it Is doubtful if the government is very
anxious that the Charleston shall Overtake
her. All the government desires to do is to
make a show Of being vigilant in prevent
| ing violation Of the neutrality laws
It is understood that Secretary Blaine is
of the opinion that all was done 70 prevent
the departure of the Itata that this
country could reasonably have been ex-
pected to do. She was seized, and an Off
Ger was placed on board Of her. She paid
no attention TO the officer. however. When
she got ready to start for Chile she hoisted
her anchor and proceeded on her voyage.
Members of the cabinet other than Secre-
tary Blaine, however, hold the opinion that
this government was not as vigilant as it
should have been in dealing with the Itata,
and that if the Itata should do harm to the
Chilean cause the Chilean government would
have ground for claiming damage from
this country. And it seems that Secretary
Blaine was overruled and the Charleston
sent after the Itata. There is no prospect
that the Charleston will overtake her. She
was well on her way before the Charleston
left San Francisco.
But if Chile should have occasion to com-
plain that because OF our want Of vigilance
the 1tata escaped our government could
point to the fact that the Charleston was
dispatched, as soon as it was possible to do
so, in pursuit OF her.
The question has been raised as to whether
the Charleston has the right to seize the
Itata on the high seas. The better opinion
is that, in view of the fact that the Itata
was in possession of United States officer
at the time she left San Diego, there is no
question Of the right of the Charleston to
seize her wherever she can find her. But
there is not much profit in discussing this
question as there is only a possibility that
the Itata will be overtaken.

The Presidents Presents.

The President will soon be back in Wash
ington. He ought TO be we'll satisfied with
his trip. Thus far he has received very
cordial reception at every place at which
he has stopped since he started on his re-
markable swing around the circle. And it
must be admitted that he has shown him
self to be a very ready orator. He has
made great many speeches, and in about
all of them he has touched upon matters of
local interest, thus showing his familiarity
with things about which the people whom
he addressed were most concerned.
A feature of his journey is the number of
presents he has received. These presents
have very little intrinsic value. If they had
the President, in all probability, would have
refused to accept them. They were simply
intended to express the good will of the
donors, or to remind him of some of the
places visited.
There must be pretty nearly carload Of
these presents, and they includes great va
riety Of articles Oil paintings, specimens Of
wood and minerals, a silver brick, and
relics which have a historical value are
some of the things to be found among his
rather remarkable collection.
would be interesting TO know what be
intends to do with all of those articles when
he gets back to Washington. WIN he turn
them over to the Smithsonian institute and
label them the Harrison collection, or will
be pack them away in boxes and carry
them to indianapolis at the end OF his presi-
Dental terml Eventually, probably, they
will be sent to the lumber loft of the Harri-
| son mansion if he retains them in his pos
session.
| Perhaps some of the donors will appear
in Washington as office-seekers soon after
the President returns. Not few of those
who by presents bring themselves into the
notice of those who have official favors to
dispense have a selfish object in view.
| Therefore the presents which the President
has received may become a source of more
annoyance than pleasure to him. And if
he should fail to get another term he might
feel more like sending the most of them to
the pawn shop than paying the freight on
them TO indianapolis.

What He Waited For

Not long ago young lawyer, says the Boston
Transcript, in conversing with the old gentle
man, suggested that a great many changes
had taken place since he began the practice of
the law.
"Yes, yes" said the old gentleman, "a great
many wonderful changes have taken place in
my lifetime. Why. the Internal regions have
cooled down great deal since was born"
The young lawyer, not long afterward, re-
peated this remark to another veteran member
of the same bar, who knew the first old gem
tlemans peculiarities and weaknesses very
we'll.
Did he say that?' asked the second veteran.
He did, said the young man
well, now understand; that's what he's
been waiting for all these years."

Running up the stars and stripes on their
tabernacle was something very unusual for
the Mormons to do. Such thing is alto
gether unprecedented in the history of their
faith. But the Mormons do not have the
President of the United States among them
very often, and they can well afford to make
extraordinary manifestations of patriotism
when he does happen to pay them visit -.
Their conspicuous motto inscribed upon the
temple, which bore the injunction to Fear
God; Honor the President" was peculiarly
cooling. No doubt but it easily persuaded
our egotistical executive that be had imme>
diately converted the whole church to the
Christian religion.

In a recent number Of the Catholic
Universe Chancellor George V, Houck has
written an extended account of the death OF
Bishop Gilmour of Cleveland, in which he
states that the bishop died of broken heart
because of an implacable conspiracy against
him in his own diocese. What the nature
of the conspiracy was is not stated. But
the chancellor's vague and mysterious al
lusions to it have had the effect of produc-
ing profound sensation among prominent
Catholics all over the country where they
have become known.
