WHY THE SITUATION is GRA VE.

tween Chill and the United States
Chill alone is responsible. Dignity
caution and magnanimity have char
acterized the action of onr govern
me2t, but not a word of apology OF
even of regret has been heard from
the other side. The stubborn silence
of Chill and the recurrence of Incl
dents going to show that Chilian ha-
tired and contempt of the American
people are not in any way softened,
leave no reasonable doubt as to the
intentions of that country. The Chilli
ans have evidently determined that
neither apology nor reparation shall
be given, and that the United States
will have to be content with the pre-
tense of legal proceedings carried on
in the secrecy of the Valparaiso tribu-
nal.
If the Chilians had ever intended to
offer due amends for the murder Of
American seamen and insult to the
American uniform, they could have
done SO long ago, 1t did not take the
Chilians twenty four hours to prepare
and present their first offensive note to
Minister Egan, in answer to the mod
crate request of the United States for
redress. Three months have nearly
elapsed since that offense was added
to the original outrage. During that
period another communication, more
CCiy nd Oh o1s6
the United States, was addressed by
Minister Malta to Chilian diplomatic
representatives in every part of the
world. These declarations of con-
the official voice Of Chill. Not word
has been recalled; not an act or an
utterance regretted: not an intima-
ton even suggested that Chill has any
thought or purpose to satisfy the out
ragged honor of the American people.
1t is no wonder that the situation is
grave, and that extreme measurers
are apparently almost inevitable.
Chill, ignoring the warnings of his
tory, has assumed that she could dare
with impunity acts even worse than
those for which England and France,
Algiers and Mexico were called to
costly account. Chill will find that
the United States is as ready as IN
former times to assert the rights of
our citizens and the honor of onr flag,
and that, should the last and deplora-
BILE appeal be necessary, it will end
as every struggle upon which the
United States has ever entered with
enemies, domestic or foreign, has
ended. Defeat is not in the stars for
the American people.-N. Y. Press
Vermont stands in the front rank
and, in many particulars, leads the
advance in dairying. She holds the
gold medal of the Paris worlds fair
for the best quality Of butter. She
holds scores of prize medals for best
blooded dairy stock. She has acted
promptly in adapting herself in the
dairy industry, to the new order of
things in production Of milk and
dairy products. She has pure water,
sweet grasses, embracing atmos-
phere and, generally, favorable physi-
cal conditions for dairying. The
creamery and the cheese factory have
come to stay. Condensed milk facto
ries are coming. The shallow setting,
home hand churning and country
store markets have had their day,
and are soon to be remembered only
as relics of the by-gone days. The
dairy COW must be bred for a purpose.
and feeding COWS has been
revolutionized within
decade among dairyman. All is un-
Ter riged rules of economy, and profit
rom the products. Cold storage,
choice small packages, uniform high
quality, and fresh and every way de-
,irable products are demanded by
our modern market, and our improv
ed facilities for manufacturing and
landling render it practicable and
easy to meet these demands.-AdUo-

The theft Of the New York legisla
'ure, by Ex-Governor Hill, is a march
stolen not so much on the Republi-
cans as on Mr.. Cleveland. By his
ludacity and cunning Senator Hill
las secured the support of New York
n the next Democratic National Con-
7ention. Mr.. Cleveland must now go
10 the country to find his support.
There he is likely to be out-witted by
Hips superiority as politician. Mr..

party may carry him through but it is
