ENGLAND DON'T LIKE 1T.

England does not come out of the
Chilian trouble with colors flying as
she hoped to do. In fact England's
future interests in Chilli, if not other
portions of South America, are likely
to suffer, because of the part that
English representatives took in the
matter and the English press feels
very sore over it. There is now no
doubt but that English inerests in
Chill are largely responsible for the
hesistancy upon the part of Chill in
settling the matter. They represent
ed to the authorities there that the
| United States would not fight, in fact
could not as it had no navy: that its
seaports were in defenseleSs condi-
tion, and in the event Of war would
fall an easy prey to the Chilian navy.
All this was believed by Chilli until
Blaine's ultimatum was placed before
them
That opened their eyes to the fact
that Uncle Sam would fight if his de-
mands were not acceded to, and show
ed them that we were not that cring.
ing power that Englishmen there had
represented. Nothing so confirms
this as the complete back-down of
Chilli in the matter. That country
has found the United States nation
to be respected. Peace between the
two countries will be fully restored,
and our trade relations will grow in
stead of decrease.
Not only will the United States be
more respected by the South Ameri-
can nations in the future, but it's
standing before the nations of the
world will be raised, and foreign pow
ers will be most respectful in their
future dealings with the great repub-
lie of the new world.

GIVES THE VULTURES ENCOUR-
AGEMENT.

Judge Jenkins, of the q. s. District
Court, at Milwaukee, Wis, in passing
sentence upon a bookseller for send
ing obscene literature through the
mails, took occasion to lecture An
thony Comstock for the part he took
in the matter. 1t seems that Mr..
Comstock had reasons for believing
that the said bookseller was selling
obscene literature, and so sent him
an order from some town in Vermont,
under an assumed name, and the
dealer fell into the trap. Judge Jen-
kins in censuring Mr.. Comstock, took
the ground that he had enticed the
accused into the crime. 1t looks to
us as though the Judges remarks
were rather far-fetched. If the book
seller had not been dealing in such
literature, he would have thrown the
order into the waste basket or re-
buked the sender. If the course pur-
sued by Mr.. Comstock entices men in
to crime, then all detective work is. of
the same nature and merits severe
censure.
In this light the using of decoy let
tiers by the government to detect and
bring to justice those who may be
tampering with the mails, is an en-
ticement to crime, and merits severe
condemnation. Yet such work has to
be done, reprehensible to a certain
degree though it may be, and detec-
tives are often obliged to employ
methods which are not upon the high
moral plane, in order to protect
society from the inroads of crime, but
they can hardly be criticised for that.
In his efforts to protect society from
the vultures who, for the sake of gain,
would turn loose upon it literature of
a nature that would lower the moral
tone instead Of raising it, Mr.. Com
stock has earned the intense hatred
of those who deal in such trash, and
it is strange indeed that court
would lend itself to condemn him for
this work. especially as the method
used was that employed by all detect
ives.
There is nothing more demoraliz-
ing to society nor will destroy our
civilization sooner than the traffic in
obscene literature. 1t totally destroys
all aspiration for higher ideal, and
leaves no ambition to labor for that
which makes life worth living for.
He who would so poison the mind Of
the young deserves not only the pun
ishment inflicted by law, but the Sc
verest scoring that language can
frame, instead of leveling it at the
head of him who finds it out. In CON-
menting upon the action of the court
the Chicago Inter Ocean says:
A few years ago a Chicago booksel-
Ter, who had once stood well in this
community, was convicted Of this
same crime, and that by precisely the
same kind of evidence as that en-
ployed in Milwaukee. In sentencing
him the court, so far from condemn
ing the prosecution, arraigned the
criminal himself as the especial enc
my of society, expressing regret that
the sentence could not be heavier,
under the statute, than the one pro-
nOunced

The Chilian war cloud out of the
way the Washington correspondents
have gone TO discussing Blaine's health
again, and the possibility of his being
the Republican candidate for the
Presidency. Their latest imagination
is to the effect that some time this
month Mr.. Blaine will surely write a
letter defining his position, and that
in the event he does not become a
candidate will favor western candi-
date, but that person will not be
President Harrison. Just what the
next strike of the correspondents will
be would puzzle weather prophet to
predict.

The free trader wants the so-called
raw material put upon the free list,
so that it will be cheaper. The
principal cost of raw material is labor.
therefore as the free trader would
make the raw material cheaper, he
would make labor cheaper 1t has
always been one of the characteristics
of free trade to degrade labor.
