The editorials in the London news
papers regarding the Chilean affair are
said to be fine illustration of the vast
difference between meatn and tuunl, in
asmuch as they talk loudly
of the duty of great forbearance toward
weaker country, when everyone well
knows what sort of treatment the Brit
ish lion accords to any poor little fly
that happens to SO much as tickle his
nose. The following letter of the St.
Paul Pioneer Press is quite apropos:
To the Editor of the London Times
Great Head: We hear the drowsy ca
dences of your voice as your words per-
colate through your hat. We have
heard those dulcet tones at intervals
for more than hundred years, some
times pitched in the key of common
scold, sometimes portentious with un-
needed threats, but at all times and un-
der all circumstances anti-American
From country that has fattened for
ages upon the spoil of weak nations like
Portugal, the Transvaalr republic, and
the feeble people of India and Africa,
we derive deep sense of the wicked
ness of any attempt to compel decent
behavior on the part of Chill. When
England talks that way we know she
speaks as one who knows good thing
by practicing its reverse. If sugges-
tion might be returned for so much
good advice we would say, get your cor
respondents ready to report what tran
spires in Chill, and for Heavens sake
instruct them to tell the truth-not lie
about everybody and everything as they
did about the war with Mexico and the
rebellion. You sharpen their pencils

The resolution passed by the Alliance
men of Kansas in condemnation of the
g. A. r., and accusing it of being or
ganized ''for the purpose of preying
upon the U. S. treasury and thereby
filching from the people, in the form of
pensions, money not their due" is an
insult to all loyal patriotic Americans,
and will Justly become destructive
boomerang for the Farmers Alliance
itself. Such sentiments are aimed at
the very foundations of our govern
ment, and are entirely in keeping with
the principles of a party that can deem
it praiseworthy act To insult the dear
old flag by hosting it stars downward,
as did an Alliance store-keeper in Ne
braska, the other day, when the ALI
ance lodges of the state were holding a
political meeting. When he refused to
right it, we are proud to know that the
son of an old soldier sprang to the lad
der and properly adjusted it, and we
believe that the fire of patriotism burn
ing in the breast of these Sons of Vet
Grams is destined to become one of the
strong supports of this American gov
ernment.

no thought of being murdered or of any
serious trouble. 1t is reported that while
the officer in command WIS talking to
the chief rifle was discharged by an
Indian, either accidentally or as a sig

on the troops took place and number
were killed and wounded
