south American Progress.

VALPARAISO, Aug. 6.-The newly elected
Bolivian congress met to-day, and in the
presence of that body President Arce
turned over his office to Baptista, recently
elected his successor. The administra a.
ton OF the retiring president has been
one OF the strongest OF recent years, an d
has done much toward restoring Bolivia
to the prosperity enjoyed before the az
gressions of Chill deprived that country
and Peru of their rightful title to the pro-
vince of Atacama, which contains the
richest nitrate and guano deposits in South
America. The retiring president, in his
farewell message to congress, recommends
that, in view of the low price of silver, a
general reduction should be made in ex-
port duties, and corresponding increase
in import duties, especially in that on
alcohol. There are twenty nine Liberals
in both houses of the new congress against
forty-nine Conservatives. Baptista, in
order to get rid of the tire-brand Camacho,
who was one OF bis rival candidates for
the presidency, and who led the rebellion
against the previous administration, will
appoint him minister to Peru. Others OF
Camacho's followers will be given posts
in the diplomatic service. Baptista' 8
cabinet will be as follows: Seniors Luis
Pas, Lisi, Maco, Gutierres, Fernandez,
Alonzo Joaquin lchaso, and Bishop Coro-

Hard Times Ahead for Italy.

ROME, Aug 6.-Advlces received at
the ministry indicate that the wheat
crop OF Italy will fall generally below the
estimates. The secondary products are
most entirely lost on account OF the long
continued drouth. The imports during
the first six months of the present year
show a net gain to Italy in its foreign in
debtedness OF 2,000, 900 lire. The Gus
toms receipts the last twelve months have
fallen off 50,792 900 lire.

The Rush to Denver.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. G. 6.--Every one of the
five roads leading from this city to Denver
is having hard time to secure trans
portaton facilities for the immense
crowds focking to the Rocky mountain
metropolis. Special trains, carrying com
manderies from all sections Of the south
and southeast went out last night, and
each road was also compelled to put on
extra cars to accommodate the travelling
public, which is taking advantage of the
cheap rate. Upwards Of 100 extra sleepers,
every one full, left this city last evening.

Rio Grande Waters.

+ Ell PAso, Texas, Aug. 6-Acting Gov
ernor Piementel and Governor elect Ahu-
mado, OF Chihuahua, Mexico, arrived in
this city yesterday from the city of Chi
huahua to meet and confer with the off.
cials of the United States concerning a
division OF the waters Of the Rio Grande
river for irrigation. That is the most
vital question now commanding the atten-
ton Of the people on the border of Mexico
and Texas.
The scarcity of water in the lower Rio
Grsnde at this season and the dams of
Mexico catching all the flow has caused a
great loss to farmers on this side. Cover
nor Ahumado stated in an interview that
everything would be arranged satisfactor-
lily that Mexico would show her liberality
and divide the water with her American
neighbor fairly and equally. He hoped
this conference would be a precedent for
all disputes between the two countries,
believing that justice would more quickly
be reached by appealing to the reason of
both people, rather than by force of arms
The conferees will hold several meetings.

caATTANooGA,s GOOD EXAMPLE.

1t is creditable to Chattanooga that it
has presented one case in which the lynch
ing spirit of the day was successfully re-
sisted. A negro who was arrested for the
usual charge was threatened with the reg
ular mob law, but the authorities removed
him first to one place and then to another
until sheriff in Hambler county was
found with sufficient faith in his ability to
maintain the law to accept his custody.
When the prisoner was taken back to
Chattanooga for trial public meeting in
favor of the regular enforcement of the
law was held, and 100 of the leading citi-
zens guarded the culprit against the mob.
The court sentenced him to q years in
the State Penitentiary; and the anti-mob
guard saw him safely located in that insti-
tuition.
This case will demonstrate to the people
of the South that the law can convict
people of heinous offenses and that the
mob can be restrained 1t shows that
when leading people take trouble to lead
public opinion in the direction of law and
order, it is easy to restrain the cowardly
and cruel mob spirit Chattanooga by
this course adyertises itself as a place
where people can locate with some assur-
ance of safety for life and property. If
other parts of the South, and North as
well, follow the example, they may close
the nineteenth century with a fair claim
of progress toward civilization.

POLITICS AND THE WEATHER.

The weather has perhaps been giving us
foretaste of the Presidential campaign.
If politics open out with the same prompt
ness and ferocity as the sticky and op.
pre- ssive hot term, it will be hardly more
than the end of next week before the
Presidential campaign adds its sweltering
characteristics to those of the heated area.
We shall at once proceed to lengths that
in any other country of the world would
indicate civil war or revolution.
Each side will begin to prophesy un-
qualified ruin and disaster if the other
side is permitted to carry out its fell de-
signs. One half the nation will exalt the
virtues and patriotism of one candidate
and expose the political shallowness and
suspicious character of the other, and the
other half will reverse the operation.
Political marching clubs will essay the
work of carrying conviction on economic
issues by tin torches and pasteboard axes;
and all things will go on as an
aggravation of the high temperature
until we reach the ultimate lunacy of try
ing to settle how the election will go by
betting imposing values of wind over it.
Iou tHOutlo VI bulo oOIb VI SupCl-
yening upon ninety-degree temperature
will leave the nation in state of mind for
which the only remedy will be total es-
chewing of politics and the cooling-off
process made possible during November.
The thought of so much artificial heat
added to the already excessive tempera-
ture is so Oppressive that we hasten to out
line the onposita theory Providence is
mercifui; and politicians, like other men,
are languid when the thermometer marks
torridity. The doctrine of compensations
is likely to manifest itself by keeping
politics cool while the weather is hot.
Our Democratic friends may agitate them
selves to the sweltering point at Chicago
next week; but the heat of politics cannot
develop itself against the heat of summer
1t is much the most comfortable doc
trine that politics will not get really hot,
while the weather is SO indisputably and
universally that way.

CLEvEIAND's SUPPORT.

ExSecretary c. s. Fairchild, Chairman
of the contesting delegation from New
York, has written letter to Calvin s.
Brice, Chairman of the National Commit
tee, demanding seats and additional
tickets for the seventy-two delegates from
the Empire State. This means rather
the initial step in formal protest to
demonstrate Cleveland's strength in New
York than the first blow in a fight to
finish. The leaders of the Syracuse dele
gates are too shrewd to go far enough to
Introduce an amount of bitterness into the
strife which would be disastrous to all
concerned in the party's interests.
The probability now is that Cleveland
will be nominated whether he obtains the
votes of the New York delegates or not
For no one can deny that he has pledged
support of more than third of the dele
gates to the convention. And support of
One-third, if it remain mistaken, will of
course prevent the nomination of any
other man. And it appears likely to re-
main unshaken for it is composed of the
best elements of the party and is of an
ardent and devoted nature. The Demo-
Gratis cannot select a stronger man to lead
their fOrlorn hope-destined to defeat in
any case-than Grover Cleveland, and it
begins TO look as though his opponents
would find it impossible to nominate any
other man.

AN UNJUsTIFIABLE DANGER.

Another dam bursts under an extraordi.
nary pressure of water, sending sudden
and destructive flood down on thickly
populated section, filling mines and de-
stroying property. That it was not accom-
panied py wholesale destruction of life
was the joint result of good fortune and a
few moments warning.
Dams are no doubt a necessity of civili-
zation. But the good they do to mankind
does not warrant keeping them up as a
threat to towns and villages lying in the
course Of their waters The majority of
them can be and should be located where
break will not imperil whole communi-
ties. If there is a case where necessity
compels dam above a thickly populated
valley, it should be of the best construc-
tion and kept constantly under super
vision.
Johnstown, Titusville and Mahonoy
City have given warnings enough. 1t is
time that something positive be done in
abating the danger from inadequate dams.

THE HrRsCn EXPERIMENT.

Elsewhere in this issue will be found a
very full description of the settlement
started by the Baron Hirsch fund at
Woodbine, New Jersey. OF course this
particular experiment is for the benefit of
the Russian Hebrew immigrants helped
over the ocean by the Hirsch fund. But
the conditions under which it is made are
such as to cause it to be watched with a
very far-reaching interest A great deal
of careful organi zation and a spirit of
hopeful enterprise are necessary for the
inception and the carrying out of the
scheme, and there appears to be plenty of
both in the gentlemen managing it.
As cities continue to become crowded at
the expense of the rural districts which
they impoverish by an absorption of their
best blood, the question of agricultural
colonization assumes more and more i'm
portance. And the application of the re-
suits of such plans as the one described
renders their working full of interest to a
very large number Of onlookers. If,
successful the plan is sure to be largely
followed, and if it fail new schemes mustI
be worked out to deal with a question
which grows in importance from year toI

porters the credit of regarding this as tho
strongest position they can take and yet
recognize that it is exceedingly weak 1t
is basic principle of representative poll
tics that minority is not charged with
the duty of producing perfected legisla-
tion. This principle is emphasized in
England where no measure Of political
bearing gets hearing, unless it is Gov
ernment measure. Mr. Gladstone has
been in minority for nearly seven years.
Any bill that he proposed on Irish affairs
or any other political issue would not have
been given a hearing To attack him
because he did not turn out a complete
and digested bill for Home Rule is to
reproach him for not having done the
work of the Cabinet when he was in the
minority.
This is so clear deduction from all the
usages and rules of English politics, that
Mr.. Balfour's attack in retreat is more a
sign of desperation than anything else. A
statesman who reproaches the minority
with "barrenness of legislation shows
himself to be very hard up for political
arguments.

Argum- mt Back Of the Movement to Open
the " orid's Fair Sunday.
From The Bulletin, Pittsburgh
On the first Sunday of the present month
the Bishop of the Episcopal diocese Of Pitts
burg delivered q notable sermon, and on
the following Sunday the rector Of St.
Stephens, Sewickley,, preached q similar
sermon. Each discourse was marked by
broad-guage views regarding that vexed
question, the opening OF the Worlds Fair
ON the first day of the week; and each Of the
reverend gentlemen not only voiced the
sentiments of a large and cultured class, but
kept well to the lines advocated in The BuI-
letin. In this community, and aside from
the bearings of the question as to the Worlds
Fair, the people have had excellent oppor-
tunities for noting the effect Of rigid, old
time and narrow laws regarding what may
and what may not be done on Sunday.
The friction between the enforcement Of q
'blue" law and personal freedom has been
nowhere more marked Of late than in the
the Episcopal Church hereabouts should
openly advocate a liberal policy rs to Sum
day observance in general and the worlds
deep interest among all those who wish to
do right by their fellowmen and themselves.
Bishop Whitehead clearly and logically sets
forth the results which must follow the
closing OF the Fairs gates on the first day Of
each week. He said:
"The saloons will he in full blast, the the
aters and concert halls will have their per-
formances as they do now in Chicago, every
Sunday. Where shall these people spend
their days? believe it will be far moro in
accordance with the spirit of Christ and
Christianity ii we say TO them: Come to
this beautiful Enclosure, where, at least the
influences will be beneficial; look at the
beautiful things that God has made and the
wonderful things that man has done; spend
your time, not in close saloons or concert
halls but under the blue heaven Or these
diminish the number of police needed. Res
taurants within the grounds would be open
instead of those scattered through the city.
Concert halls and theaters would be less
numerously attended"

FIRST BALLOT PREDICTIONS.

The managers of the Cleveland cam
paign at Chicago yesterday gave out the
statement that their candidate would be
nominal ted on the first ballot This, they
assert, is the result shown by reports of
his strength from all parts of the nation.
At present this seems to be a year of
nominations by first ballot, although some
of the predictions to that effect have gone
astray. The Blaine leaders at Minneapo-
Lis gave out the same prediction as the re-
suit of their count of noses; but the first
ballot nominated the wrong man. The
Harrison people made the same prediction
and landed the verifcation with great
success
1t thus appears that the Cleveland men
have ample precedent for claiming first
ballot nomination. But will their pfedic-
ton meet the Blaine or Harrison style of
yerifcation?

INDEPENDENT WHEN IT SUITS THEM.

INDEPENDENT WHEN IT SUITS THEM.
There is a touch of political nature
which indicates the kindred of the
whole world, in the protest of the French
Royalists against the encyclical letter of
Pope Leo on the relations of the church to
the French. The progressive Pontiff
having ordered that the church organiza-
ton and influence are not to be used against
the Republic, but are rather to be employed
in supporting it, the adherents of the
Comte de Paris have held a meeting
against. what they describe as Papal inter-
ference in political affairs, and call upon
French Catholics to maintain their polfti-
cal independence and vote according to
their personal convictions!
This has a very elevated sound on the
surface; and if the Papal authority has
been employed to force any Catholic to
vote against his convictions, 1t would have
much pertinence. But the beauty of the
assertion of the principle of personal
independence by the adherents of the
defunct Bourbon dynasty, is in the fact
that their sole mainstay has been in the
employment of church influence to bolster
up their cause. Their sole hope has been
in using church machinery and the in
fluence of the priesthood to secure popu-
lar support for the Royalist party. 1t was
this perversion of the church, more dan
gerous to itself than to the republic, which
the Pope's wise encyclical forbade. Nat
urally the French Royalists are very wroth
at having the main prop of their cause
knocked from under them; but their re-
sort to asserting the principle that the
church authorities must not interfere in
French politics has the same comic aroma
about it as a Democratic horror over a
Republican gerrymander, or the Republi-
can apprehension Of Democratic machine
politics.
1t is evident that the manifesto of the
French Royalists will be Intellectual.
French Catholics, who had before per-
ceived the improperly Of using church
influence to attack republican govern
ment, were already opposed to the Royal
ist party. The people who are under the
sway of the church will find the encyclical
of more authority than the Royalist mani
festo, and the ultra Royalists would cling
to the moribund cause in any event.

A FALSE ARGUMENT,

There is great effort on the part of the
Conservative press in England to make it
appear that Mr.. Balfour takes strong po-
sition in passing lightly over the defense
of the Tory policy and making a great
deal of Mr.. Gladstone's failure to produce
measures to solve the issues of English
government The keynote of Balfour's
attack on Gladstone's "barren statesman
ship" was struck by cartoon in Punch,
which represents the ''old jockey (Glad-
stone) standing and looking at the young
jockey (Balfour) who is mounted on a
horse labeled local government The old
jockey says: 4 don't think much of your
mount. 1 have got a better one in the
stables, and the young jockey replies:
We'll, then, why don't you bring him
out2'"
