IL l. a.ilk IN II

che Washington correspondent Of
the st. Louis Republic does rot hest
4ate TO charge that Minister Egan's
p~artisanship in the ChiIian difficulties
was influenced by considerations Of II
decidedly substantial character. lie
goes further, and intimates thut
Secretary Bluino was also interested
in the deal that promised rich returns
in the event OF Bulmuceda maintain
ing his dictatorship. From tho cor.
respondents story it appears that
Esan's sons obtained rich govern.
nIent contracts in the working OF
Iitrate bols, hrnd IL WIS tacitly under
stood hat in return for these the
friendship Of the United States should
10 guaranteed tho do facto govern
mont Blaine was II party to tho bar
gain md shared in the plumber.
Whatever truth there may be in tho
charge, which presumably, first
emannted frcm the rev~olutionists'
ENJOYS ut Washington, there can be
no doubt that tho peculiar course
pursued by Mr.. Egan and the attitude
of tho State department toward tho
Cn'iinn troubles, require some sort
OF an explanation. This government
was fully advised OF the origin, cause
and progress OF tho revolution. 1t
had full knowledge OF Balmaceda's
usurpaticn OF authority, his repudi-
alton Of tho constitution OF his coun-
Try, and tho high-handed outrages
perpetrated by TIE dictator. While
the civilized world protested against
the atrocious cruelty OF the dcspot,
tho freest government on earth de-
] bcrately held up its hands.
Tho situation was M anomalous
one, and could only DO justified by
the assumption that considerations OF
State, familiar only to tho inuer circle
al diplomacy, urged the course pur-
sued. Certainly the people OF this
country, speaking through its press
without regard to public opinion, had
mado known their feeling in tho
premises. At each uct Of barbarity
of tho self-constituted uutocrat lie.
nunclation WIS heard from every
quarter. not only OF the tyrant, but OF
our minister, who practically justi-
lied tho outrages committed; but
through it oil the State department
was unmoved and consistently re-
fused to accord to the Congressional
party recognition Ms belligcrents.
Now that n motive has been found
for this hitherto inexplicable conduct,
which upon tho surface scems
plausible enough, nobody who re-
members the Peruvian scandals, in
which this self-same Secretary fig
urei some ton years ago, will be very
much surprised. It is we'll known
that MIR. Blaine has always been n
statesman for revonne, and there is
nothing in Mr.. Egan's record To pro-
tcct him against the suspicion OF
completely in tho deal. Moreover, it
is urged that the appointment of Mr..
Egan was the peculiar and personal
net OF the Secretary OF State. 1t was
II bit OF patronage that he exacted OF
h President, tho motive for which
is now apparently revealed.
With the accession Of the Congress
siohal party to power, the Nebraska
diplomatist viii, VI CO Irse, DO speed
lily dismissed, unless tho United
States saves its dignity by recalling
him at once But neither event will
rescue the State department from
scandal when Congress meets and an
investigation is undertaken. -lNew
