Uncle sam will Not Interfere.

WASHINGTON. May 29.-The state depart
ment has not been officially informed of any
intention on the part of the Gillian insm-
gents to lombard Valparaiso, as reported
from Paris. There is no disposition on the
part of this government, so far as can be
learned. 10 intervene in the Gillian con-
test, for the meaning of this term in diplo-
matte language is siding with one faction or
the other. Now. certainly. this govern
ment. and presumably the government of
no other nation, is prepared TO that length.
Unofficially our minister 10 Chill and the
ministers of France and Brazil stand ready
to mediate between the factions in the in
terest of peace, but this is very different
function from an Intervention.

AUSTIN, Ten, May 29-The clatter that
is being made over the appointment of
Senator Whatley as superintendent OF the
penitentary is only one of the many mani

conniptions. And where no yeStige of Il

morbid fancy supplies an imaginary one
which serves every purpose as an excite

ugly malady are really amusing. Take, for
instance, the hullabaloo raised over the
appointment OF Whatley. Now that gen.
tleman is well known to be a man of ster-
ling character and Il high sense
of political as well as personal
honor, who would no more take or hold an
Office III defiance of law than he would his
neighbours COW or horse. Besides. he is
man of means, and does not need an Office
he ACCEPTED THE APPOINTMENT
of superintendent OF the penitentiary be-
cause he knew he could do so without vio-
latiug any law or the constitution, and was
confirmed by the senate for the same rea-
son. If there was any question about his
eligibility, any reason shown why he
was not eligible. would that body
stultify itself by confirming the appoint

The constitution prohibits a member of
the legislature from holding any other Office
under the state government. But that does
not reach him. because he resigned his seat
in the senate before accepting the appoint

prohibits a member of the legislature from
filling any Office created by law during the
term for which he was elected. The peni-

Living in region where the best Of
sheep are raised, see many proofs that
the tariff is great success instead Of an
utter failure
1t has saved our fiocks from destruc.
ton and restored confidence In the most
important branch of farming. 1t was
not so much question OF a penny a
pound for wool as of the humiliation Of
our foeks,
Since 1850 the worlds supply Of wool
has increased, in round numbers, from
1000, 900, 900 TO 1000, 100000 pounds.
and the most of this increase is in merino
woods that come in direct competition
with our own, and but for our tariff this
deluge would have made short work Of
our flocks
The wonder is that prices have dropped
so little. No doubt our heavy fine woods
will rule lower than last year. not being
up to standard quality owing to the
small amount Of grain fed to sheep. But
the best wool is no cheaper and In many
cases is higher than year ago-Corr
