CHILL

1t is now altogether probable that
France, the United States and Brazil
will propose to Chill to declare a
truce between the contendin4 fac
tions and permit the three republics
to interpose their good Offices for a
settlement OF the conflict. The in
surgents are in excellent position to
accept. They are battling not to es-
tablish new government, but for the
better administration Ct the old.
They do not assail the form Of gov
eminent, or any constitutional guar
antees, but, as they claim, they pro-
pose to put an end to usurpation OF
power, and to restore in it's original
purity the republican methods pro-
vided by law for the government Of
Chile.
But President Balmeceda may not
be ready to accept foreign mediation.
BY his new Congress, elected under
cover Of his guns, he has been invest
ed with powers never contemplated
by the organic law, and which are
more sweeping and dictatorial than
any before conferred upon an execu-
tive offices in q republic. He may
use this new authority we'll, but as n
rule such conferment of arbitrary
power results in misuse. So long as
he believes he has the least chance Of
ousting the Congressional or insurgent
party by force Of arms he will be dis
incl ined to consent to a truce.
BY refusing be may succeed; by ac-
cepting he realizes that an end will
be put TO his authority. The issue
ia whether constitu tional methods
shall prevail, or dictatorial authority,
raised up under stress Of war; Rec
ord Union.

Last Sunday as Frank Porter, fire.
man on the yard engine, returned
from a drive, he discovered man at
the back door Of his residence trying
to effect an entrance, and aJ the same
time two others were climbing the
back yard fence to get out. Mr. Por-

sized the command by drawing his re-.
volVer and he held them until he
ascertained that they had not broken
into his house, when he told them to
go. They discharged a volley Of

A Clever Penman Has Been Reaping Q
Harvest on Forged Checks.
The Baltimore post Office authorities are
very much exercised over their failure TO cap
ture the thief or thieves who sporadicaIly, dur
ing . long period of time now, helped
themselves to the letters (and checks
contained therein), which merchants
deposit in the street letter boxes and in the
post Offices. And the authorities are further ex-
ercised, almost TO the very limit Of endurance,
by the circumstance that publica ton has been
made Of the facts that they cannot
catch the thief nor stop the thefts. The
postal people asked the newspapers to suppress
the news Of what Was going The merchants
have hope-now that the newspapers have
taken a hand-that the annoyances and Losses
to which they have been 30 long subjected vin
be ended.

is NO amateur; his visits 10 the banks have been
very nearly at the same hour each time and
