THE CHILEAN NJ.

~
The presidents message, together with
the accompanying diplomatic cores
pondence between the United States and
Chile, was presented to both houses Of
congress Monday and, during the week
the whole people will have had an oppor'
tunity to read and digest it. The presi'
dents firm position on three PROPOSE
tions, viz:
Apology;
Reparation;
Withdrawal of Objectionable Malta let
ter;
Was applauded without partisan divi'
sion in congress and it will be %applauded
by the people of the United States.
Impudence from an inferior nation car
be tolerated, but absolute defiance needs
heroic treatment. The asking of Min.
lister Egan's recall before acceding tc
the demand of this country for the
withdrawal of Matta's insulting letter
is SIMPLY an a%ggravation of previous in
suits. It does not necessarily follow
that the cutting off of diplomatic rela'
tions means war, but it does demon.
strate an emphatic "don't-want.any'
thing-to-do-with-you" and "better-not'
tread-on -the-tail -of-me-coat" feeling or
the part of the United States. Under
no circumstances should Egan's recall
be made until the pending difficulty is
over. It is now the accepted belief that
Minister Egan has been misrepresented
by the Chileans and that as a matter Of
fact his course during the revolution in
Chile has been wise and discreet. Sec.
rotary Blaine does not hesitate to give
him a high certificate of character. In
speaking of him he says:
"Mr. Egan's course in Chile has been only
to merit praise. l consider MI. Egan one
of the best ministers l havein the service
| can say this c0nscientiOusly, because
haps others did, that it was risky to ap'
point a man who had not lived long enough
in this country; but soon after his appoint
ment Mr.. Egan showed that he was a dip
lomat of ability, care and discretion. His
kilograms lave been lawyer-like in thei1
ability and clearneSS.
ut is remarkable with what precision
and accuracy he has stated all the clrcum
stances. When the correspondence is read
it will show that Mr.. Egan's arguments on
the right of asylum of refuge are models OF
such documents, and his knowledge of the
facts, presidents and law in the case are
accurate. His dispatches and his papers
are all quite straightforward.
THE publication of the correspondence
will show that the dispatch in which Mr.
Malta accuses Mr.. Egan of virulent Ian
guage is as far from that characteristic as
it possibly can be. Mr.. Egan has interpre,
ted his instructions from this government,
in a manner that has gained the confidence
of the departments and implicit trust il
his course. Mr.. Egan, throughout this en-
tire affair, has followed a course bott
statesmanlike and discreet.'
It is believed the administration has
taken a wise and patriotic stand on the
Chilean question and that it will be sus.
taind by an overwhelming majority ir
congress-.

IT is just a little bit aggravating to
have old Mother England assume such a
patronizing, fault-fnding air every time
the United States has a little discussion
or trouble of any kind with any other ma
ton. She assumes altogether too much
interest-ofers altogether too much
advice. The tone Of the English papers
on the Chilean affair is anything but
complimentary to the United States.

A petition Is TO be forwarded by West Bergen
residents to the Jersey City and Bergen Railroad
Company asking that the road on West Side

Several organizations are DESTROYS of securing
the South Bstgen Reformed Church building
when it Is vacated by the church people. The
idea in the minds of those who would like to
secure the bu lding is to convert il into a hall
suitable for entertainments and receptions. The
building is for sale, but it is understood that the
church people can remain as long as they desire.
Morton place has shown wonderful improve
ments during the past few months. New and
elegant dwelling houses have been built and
more are in course Of erection and in eontem-

like 10 know why the Street and Water Board
does not put up a few lamps.

mented by a resolution of appointment.
It is quite reasonable to conclude that
committee should be vested with certain
discl etionary powers, but who can with
any degree of nicely draw the Line where
the discretion Of q committee should meet
with a subsequent ratification, or when
objection 10 its action would be Justified?
When q rule Is sometimes abrugated as
it is shown that ours has been, continued
abroCations begeG a greater laxity, con-
sequently appointments are occasionally
made by committee, when it would seem
better thai the Board should have taken
the initiative.
Your committee well knows that all
appointments made by a committee for
temporary employment must be ratified
by the Board. This ratification were made
when the wages of these men WIS ordered
paid. Without such resolution they
could not recover for their services. This
rule has been sustained by Judges Doug
lass and Dayton in the District Courts.
where suits have been frequently brought
TO recover wages for such temporary en-
pigments. In the case cited by His
Honor the Mayor, Lewis VS.. Jersey CITY,
the Supreme Cou clearly drew the dis
twiuction between an Office land n tempo
rary enploynent;" they held that John
Mclaughlin who chad been put to work"
by a committee held no office" but his
wages having been ordered paid by the
full Board that this was a ratification Of
his temporary employment. In that case
it was not a question of salary or of an
poiutment, but whether Mclaughlin held
an office" which would entiule him TO
the benefit OF the Veteran Act" An
inspection of the payroll, to which objec-
ton has been made, shows that John
Kelly and Tim Hartley and Patrick Con-
nors, with four others. did laboring work
on the streets; that the number of days
made by each man ranged from twelve to
twenty-four. aud that they were each to
receive the sum of 50 per day. The fact
that they each laboreu the number Of
days set opposite their names is not ques-
TO be Continued.
