The Chilean Situation.

On the lips of nearly every one is the In
curry. Are we TO have war with Chile?
But that is what no fellow, save President
Harrison and his Cabinet, knows.
There seems to be no great need of it,
but Chile is slow and stubborn, and
though her Minister at Washington talks
in conciliatory tone, his home-folks seem
bent upon making mischief. The latest
exhibition Of hostility to us has called
forth dispatch from Commander EVANS
TO Mr.. BLAINE, in which it is stated that
the Chilean authorities are bent upon re-
capturing the refugees now on board the
Yorktown il they should DO landed where
the ninions Of that Government can seize
them. For this reason II is probable that
they will be landed on neutral ground,
and that while the Yorktown is off on this
service some other war-ship Will be sta
toned at Valparaiso IN her stead.
The President is expected 20 send spe-
cial message to Congress on this whole
subject in few days. 1t is to DO hoped
that he will treat il conseryatiyely. He
was something of soldier himself in the
late war. and he ought to know what war
means. Besides, he would do well to re-
member that but for Mr.. EasS's "offen-
sive partisanship in all likelihood there
never would have been any controversy.
We desire 10 see the United States per-
fectly right in this matter. This, we be-
lieve, is the general wish. and when we
show that that is our position, we can, II
need be, 60 to war with such enthusiasm
and unsnimity as win make our bumptious
little sister republic wish that she had
never provoked us.
Meanwhile Congress should remove all
disabilities resting upon ex-Confederates
Who may hereafter seek military service IN
our army.

Who Is to Be the Captain?

Why not. indeed? But wait moment.
Who Is to be the captain? Isa New Yorker
TO be considered the only eligible man
Must we take HILL or CLEVELAND on pain
of being defeated in the presidential cleo
ton? Or is New York willing to take her
chances for the nomination and then cast
her vote for the nominee whether he be a
New Yorker or not!
The Democracy Of the Union do not like
TO act under compulsion. But there is no
danger ahead. The Democratic party
will elect the next President with or with
out the help of New York.

PLEASURES OF MRYORY.

What . blessed thing 10 memory
How IT brings up the pleasures OF the
mast and hides its unpleasantnesses !
You recall your childhood days. do you

remember the pleasant associations,
while the unpleasant ones are forgotten.
Perhaps TO your mind comes the face OF
some friend. 1t was once pale, sad
face. 1t showed marks Of pain. lines OF
care. It seemed to be looking into the
bereafter-the unknown future. And
then you recalled how it frightened, how
il recovered its rosy hue, how it became
picture Of happiness and JOY. Do you
remember these things? Many people
do, and gladly tell how the health re-
turned, how happiness came back, how
the world seemed brighten. They tell
how they were once weak, nerveless'
perhaps in vain, certainly unhappy.
They tell of sleepless nights, restless
days, untouched food, unstrung nerves.
And then they tell how they became
happy, healthy, and strong once more.
You have heard it often in the past, have
You not 4? You have heard people de-
scribe how they were cured and kept in
health You certainly can remember
what it is that has so helped people in
America. II not, listen to what Mrs.
Annie Jenness Miller. who is known
universally as the great dress reformer,
says "Six years ago, when suffering
from mental care and overwork. re-
ceived the most pronounced benefit from
the use OF that great medicine, Warmers
Safe Cure" All, now you remember.
Now you recall how many people you
have heard say this same thing. Now
you recollect how much you have heard
Of this great Cure. Now you are ready
TO admit that memory is manipulating,
that the highest pleasure comes from per-
feet health, and that this great remedy
has done more to produce and prolons
health than any other discovery ever

Negroes and Chinese.

A conductor OF brakeman on Tennes-
see railroad recently decided that as the
Chinese are not negroes they must be per-
mitted to ride in the white-foiks' cara.
Under the wording of the Tennessee
/" jim-crow law this decision is no doubt
correct. But the California people would,
we suspect, rather ride on the cars in CON-
pany with negroes than In company with
Chinese.

FOREIGN CHURCH NEWS.

Interesting missionary meet
ings were lately held by the Liverpool
branch of the l.. NJ. s, Congregational,
several missionari,s giving addresses on
the condition of the various branches of
the society in China, Samoa, Madagascar,
India, and Central Africa, the reports be-
ing in all cases satisfactory.
The Baptist Union Council,
England has adopted a scheme for the
formation of a society under the title of
the Baptist Union Church Extension So
ciety," the objects of which will be TO fed
crate the churches in large towns for the
purpose of undertaking church extension
work, by way of securing sites, making
grants, not only for the building of new
chapels, but sustaining pastors in chapels
thus erected; also promoting the better
distribution of Baptist churches in the
larger towns, due regard being had TO the
existence of the other Evangelical Free
Churches.
The Caro-, Michigan, Methodist
Episcopal Ladies' Missionary Society sup
ports a Bible woman in China with its
"Do-withOut money" DR.. John Hall, of
New ork, says that he takes pleasure in
looking in the store windows and seeing
the many things he can do without If all
the members of the Church would give to
missions all the money they could save by
doing without things that are not neces-
sary, what an impetus would be given to
the missionary causel
Several well-known Presbyte-
Tian ministers of England, owing to age
and infirmitics, have resigned their congre-
cations, such as Revs. DR.. Johnston (of
Belfast), DR.. Wilson, and J. X. Leslie (of
Cookstown), and Thomas Waters (of New
townards).
There is a growing dissatisfac-
ton in the Protestant Episcopal and some
other churches in Ireland against the sys-
tenn of pew-rents, and it is not unlikely
that in a short time the sittings in some
churches will be made entirely free with
the view of encouraging the masses to at
tend.
The Rev. John Mcneil, who
has been conducting a revival in Glasgow
with great success, has received a number
of invitations to undertake evangelistic
work in England, but has declined them
all, saying that he decided to give the
whole year to work in Scotland alone.
At a meeting in the Metropoli-
tan Tabernacle, London, April 22d, it was
resolved to invite James Spurgeon to occu-
Ply the pulpit for three months, and to re-
quest DR.. Arthur Pierson to conclude his
visit to America as soon as possible and
preach in the Tabernacle for one year.
Sir William Hunter, the accom-
plished author of the Imperial Gazetteer Of
