THE ALABAMA A PRECEDENT.

Precedents are ugly facts only when
they fit, and the error into which so
many editors are falling in citing the
case OF the Alabama as a precedent
which may be applied to the case of the
ltata is that they assume that the case
OF the ltata runs on all fours in every
respect with that of the Alabama. In
the latter case a portion of the people
denied the authority of this government
as whole and set up a separate es-
adjustment of their own. They denied
equally the authority of the legislative,
the executive and the judicial branches.
The Alabama sailed under the flag of
the Confederate states; the Itata flies
the national flag of Chill. Again, there
is no warrant for applying to the forces
lighting against BALMACEDA the term
insurgents. Chilli has a government sim
liar to our own, having the same three CO.
ordinate sections. No matter what the
merits of the contest are, the fact is that
III 1T the legislative branch of the gov
eminent is arrayed in arms against the
executive branch. Each is a constituted
authority; each as much a part of Off
cial Chilli as the other. By what rule of
international law can this country term
one a rebellious and the other a legiti-
mate faction?- How can it be a breach
of international law to sell arms to the
agents of congress? If the Charleston
captures the Itata, is it not as much an
offense against Chill as if she took one
OF BALMACEDA'S war ships? Ii BAL
MACEDA is victorious, how can he base
any claim for damages against this
country on acts authorized by and done
for the Gillian congress? There is no
point of contact in the cases except that
each vessel was fitted out with arma-
ments OF war in port Of a country with
which each nation was at peace The
precedent is not pat. But there is
strong suspicion of Jingoism in the
course our government is taking.

BAPTIST CONVENTION.
A FURRY Over Colored Missions
The Morehouse CHARGES.

CINCINNATI, May 21.-The Baptists
continued the subject of home missions
to-day, during which they disposed
of a troublesome question con-
corning the business integrity of
the secretary of the society.
Rev. DR.. MacVicar, of New York, pre-
scented the report of the educational
work of the society. much of which is
devoted TO the colored people of the
South. He said there was a necessity
tor trained and conSecrated colored
women to prosecute the work success
fully. They can go into the homes
with an influence no white woman can
carry. A discussion followed upon
Rev. MacVicar's report, in which Rev.
Mr.. Gambrell, of Mississippi, made a
vigorous defense of the colored people.
He declared there was more squalor.
depreciation and poverty in New York
city than in whole state in the South.
The picture of the immoral and
shockingly ignorant condition of the
negro had been overdrawn, The steal
ings of defaulters in the South amount
ed to millions. and he added it would
take great many chickens to overcome
that amount. He had never read of
fidelity failure among the people of
the South. But he added that
the mission work in the South
was of the gravest Importance.
1t had a good influence in alternating
some of the race troubles arising there.
Rev. Gilbert. colored, also spoke on the
subject. saying there were 1900, 600 col
ored Baptists in the South represented
by this meeting, and among whom
work was being done. The most inter
estlng feature of the day was

TO REACH THE CoUNTRy.

The use of electricity as motor
agency is yet in its experimental stage.
Theories as to its future are of small
account. 1t is too subtle and mys-
ferrous potency to be subjected to
programmes. 1t mnst determine it's
own way. One of the fields for its fut-
ure service is indicated by an expert
ment being made in Massachusetts. A
section OF that state on the east and
bordering Rhode Island is so thinly set
tied as not to warrant the extension of
railroads to it. This is evidence that
the population is very sparse, as rail-
roads run pretty nearly every where in
that state. Propositions to build rail-
roads have been fruitless on account of
the insufficiency of business. 1t has
been figured out. however. that cleo
trio lines can be erected and Cd er-
ated so cheaply as to be profitable.

easy access to the city markets. This
suggests what may be done in other
sections. Ii this Massachusetts expert
ment is the success that it is confidently
believe d it will be, every considerable
city may eventually have its electric
lines connecting with all the small vii
lagos and agricultural districts not con-
venient to- railroads for hundred or
more miles. This would develop the
country, and give new life to the
villages. They would have low rates
OF access to markets, and the
use of the force for lighting
and power would aid materially to rem
der it possible to extend it to very small
settlements. The cost of constructing
such road would be small in compari-
son with that of railroad, as little
grading is required and the equipment
is not expensive. 1t has not been fully
determined how far the motive force
can be profitably used, but lines extend
ing to all the considerable districts with

may be regarded as among the possibiIi-
ties OF the coming time.

DUDES AND MISUNDERSTANDING.

The earnest friends of the city have
labored generously and mselhshly in
the good work of inducing manufacture
ing concerns to come and settle among
Us. Some have spent their valuable
time, labor and cash in this laudable eff
fort, realizing that the future prosperity
of the city is dependent upon the ma
terial enlargement of our manufacturing
interests. But while the rugged and
manly friends of the clty's prosperity
are laboring might and main in this di-
rection, there is an effeminate, yet in
SidiouS, element effectively undermine
ing and rendering null all their efforts.

fight for. comptroller should narrow down to
two candidates. Everybody predicted that
when it finally came to caucus, there
would be at least six candidates voted for,

everybody was wrong. There were few who
gathered to await the result. Mayor Smith

paused to listen to the dulcet tones Of Judge

THE RULES OF SOCIETY.

One of the most absolute rules of din
ner etiquette is this: If there is COM
mon sugar bowl on the table, and you
want some. it is. good manners to trans
fer the sugar directly from the bowl to
your food. But if there Is common
salt cellar, and you want some, you
must first transfer some of the salt from
the cellar to your plate, and then from
your plate to your food. 70 do other
wise in either case is to betray your
lack OF savoir faire, and make your
hostess blush because she has invited
you.

undertaken to prove that there is
basis of reason in laws like these, but

tinction as this between the proper way

DAKOTA INDUSTRY

Fargo used to be regarded as the
divorce metropolis of Dakota territory.
but of late, under the state regime, Sioux
Falls is gathering in the business. The
metropolis of the Red has perhaps re-
lied too much upon the progress pictur-
ing of Col. DOMAIN, while its rival in
the south state has been cutting into
this important industry. 1t has among
its new residents long list of persons
of value as advertisers, such as Mrs
JAMEs q. BLAINE Jr., and Mrs. EVA
BLoss, who comes from London for a
Dakota divorce. She intimates that her
husband has transferred his affections
to the wife of an English nobIeman.

THE CHILEAN INsURRECTIoN.

The Chillaq Instruction, which has
been brought home to us by the Itata
episode, is serions and depressing af-
fair. Chilli has heretofore arrogated to
itself the name of the United States of
South America and has stood out in
happy contrast to its sister republics as
an orderly and prosperous community.
No day has been complete in the other
South American states without some
sort of revolution, but Chill has at
tended to its business quietly and with
the best results. Its foreign trade has
been large, and its debt small and its
credit high. 1t has only $4,000, 900 of
bonds outstanding and its last
loan was negotiated through the
ROthSchlldS at 49,. The present
trouble has arisen from an entirely I'M
necessary dispute between BALMACE-
DA, the president, and the general con-
the presidency. Instead of settling it
quietly, and through the courts, or other
civil agencies as we would do, they have
inaugurated a most destructive and
wasteful warfare, in which the regular
army IS arrayed against the citizens and
the navy. One side has seized the reye-
nues from exports, and the other the re-
naming national sources of income and
they are squandering them in wanton
and pitless conflicts. Their battles are
without quarter, and a victory is fol-
lowed by the completest looting of the
vanqulshed. The country is SO rich that
the trouble will not end quickly, and
when exhaustion comes the carnage
will have been terrible and the damage
to the general prosperity beyond repair.
No great principle is at stake, but for a
petty wrangle the happiness and prog
ess of a great state are manned and
bruised to degree impossible to meas

INTERNATIONAL REGATVA

No very important results will ensue
whether the Charleston captures the
Itata OF not. Some embarrassment
might arise if the fugitive is overhauled
and brought in. The main purport of
the apparently vigorous pursuit may be
to exhibit the alertneSs of the agencies
of affairs and the speed of a United
States boat, with an object lesson to
the nations of the fidelity of the govern
ment to the obligations of the interna-
tional law. The Itata came into an
American port in disguise, took on
munitions of war for the insurgents
against the government of Chill, and
was taken possession of by the United
States authorities when its true charac-
ter was known. A deputy marshal
was put in charge, aud the boat
slipped away. with him on board. in
contempt of the majesty of the govern
ment personated in this deputy. The
commander of the craft may have sus-
pected that the possession by the one
man was more formal than real, and
that it savored of friendly suggestion to
him. If he gets away in safety it will
be creditable to his adrOitneSs and
pluck, and may not excite much personal
feeling, even if his course was in NOM
inal disrespect to the authority of the
United States. The case is an UNUSUAL.
perhaps unprecedented one. The Ala
bama was built and equipped in En-
gland, and the government win ked at its
mission. a safe record is made in the
case OF the ltata. 1t cannot be insisted
that the government must keep mill
tary force in every port strong enough
to hold such captures. This would be
an eXtravagant requirement. The due
diligence in the discharge of the obli-
cations of neutrality was presumably
met in the seizure of the insurgent craft.
Its pursuit and capture would suggest
the broadcast theory of the duties of
neutrals. 1t involves as incidents the
assertion of respect for the American
flag, and pride in the alertness and
speed of the national boat.

THE chill DISPUTE.

The affair of the Itata has advertised
the fact that Chill has on hand one of
the rebelliOnS or revolutions so common
in the South American states; but little
is known of the relative strength and
situation of the parties. The causes of
these methods of doing things are I'M
derstood to be that they lack the civili-
cation that abideS the result of the bal
lot, and display their unftness for free
government by fighting and overthrow
ing. The legitimate government is rep
resented by BALMACEDA, the presi-
dent, whose five years term is under
stood to eXpire this year. He is not
eligible for reelection until another
term has been had, so that dissatisfac-
ton with him could hardly give much
room for instruction among rational
people. Some of the provisions
of their legal economy indicate
intelligence, as voters must be able to
read and write, and the unmarried man
must wait till he is twenty-five for the
ballot, while the married are voters at
twenty-one. The most intense hatred
exists between the two factions, and
they seem to enjoy killing each other at
all opportunities. There is little inter-
est in knowing what they are fighting
about, and no special concern as to
which tires of the thing soonest or comes
out ahead. The regulars are under
stood to have about $4,000 men, and the
insurgents hardly more than fourth as
many. Each holds portions OF the coun-
try with seaports, and something of
navy. 1t is believed that the wealthier
and more intelligent classes are largely
with the insurgents, and that they have
had rather the advantage in the fight
ing. Chill is one of the reciprocity
countries that new relations are to be
had with. 1t is not attractive.
