IRU4NENTS IND DEFENCES.

The lull in the Chilian complication con-
tinueS, and the prospect of pacific settlement
is Frightening. Americans, while hoping ear
ncstly for an honorable adjustment OF the qIcs-
ton Ct reparaton for the Valparaiso outrage, ale
prepared for any measures which the Admins
traton with the consent of Congress may con
slider necessary for enforcing determined and
ini,exible demand for justice. During the inter
val while public attention is engrossed with the
contingencies Of war, there is leisure for think
ing seriously of many things which ordinarily
escape observation. Various questions which
have been either lStessly discussed during the
last decade or acted upon in a half-healted way
now have a markedly different aspect under the
strong light of National necessity in time of war.

After the close Of the Civil War there was a
marked reaction against military and naval eX-
penditures. Mr.. Gladstone has said that there
was nothing more remarkable in history than
the immediate disarmament of the Union armcs
and the absorption Of million Of veterans in
Pacific industry. Americans had always alb
horred war; and when the carnage ard blood
she'd ended they recoied from it with a Joyous
feeling # relief. Conscious of the military re-
sources at their command in any emei gency, they
cut down their Army to 10000 men, and al
lowed their Navy to become laughing stock
among nations. Ii was not until 1888 that the
policy of creating a new Navy equal to the ic
quirements of European. warfare was adopted

A code of rules for the House has at length
been agreed upon by the Committee on Rules.
1t differs only slightly from the code employed
in the last Congress. The most significant change
is the transfer of the power to prevent prolonged
fiIibustering from the Speaker to the Speaker
and two members of the Committee on Rules.
This really preserves the principle which the
Democrats denounced so ferociously in the List
Congress Another OF the changes is the restora-
ton of the old rule permitting riders on ap-
preparation bills, whereby Watchdog Holman
