WHAT THE DEMOCRATIC BOSTON GLOBE
SAYS.
But the United States cannot, on any
pretext, become party to any scheme for
the ignoring or the indefinite postponement
of her claim for redress on behalf of her
murdered sailors. Every victim Of the
Valparaiso mob stood as a representative
of this country. The brutal blows which
struck him down were dealt none the less
truly against the inalicnable rights which
belong to our common American citizen
ship.
We have learned something frum this
affair with Chill. and we ought to profit
by it in the future. The lesson that a re;l-
sunable show of force held i'll reserve, yet
in readiness for immediate Use, is the best
guarantee Of respectful treatment. and
hence of peace, is plainly taught by this
episode.
We are all of one mind that the Amcri-
can flag, the American legation and the
American sailor must and shall command
respect ana decent treatment in Nalparai-

will know the reason why
COUNTRY FIRST, PARTY AFTEI:WAED.
We may differ with President Harrison
about matters of policy and national busi-
ness, and we do differ with him on most
of the important issues of to-day but
when we say that we are sure that he and
the Senate that thinks with him, and the
House of Representatives that think the
other way, will see that the honor of this
country is preserved in the present COM
plication, we only reatfirm our often af
timed belief that no vagaries. twists or
turns OF political opinion can affect the
soundness of mind and fearless loyalty
that lies at the bottom of the American
character We do not believe that there
is any trace of the bully or the wanton
despot in the composition of that charac
ter And we believe that it is fairly re-
presented. with all it's shortcomings and
with all its strength, in the present gov
ernment of the United States. What that
government decides to do in the matter of
Chilli, it viii do. not as Democratic or a
Republican government. but as an Ameri-
can government; and when its decision is
rendered, all the American citizens may
feel safe in simply saying yea, and doing
just what the government tells them to
do. Puck.

The SwanhIda was at HaVre when she az

her captain announced that he was gong to
beat the American clipper across the West

her dock to the ocean. There was a hurr-
can in the English channel, and only the
stanchest sailing craft ventllred to sea. The
Swanhilda which has the advantage of Il

The Yankee ship rode through the gale,
and succeeded in getting out of the Channel

hilda. Her time from Havre to Sandy Hook

in saying that considered the proceedings

length of judicial proceedings, and from
time to time renewed the complaint, say

already been eighty days insession consid

verbal exchange of views between us as an
agreement to arbitrate. You did say to
me several times that in that distant fu-
ture when the Chilian court should render
its judgment if the United States should
not be satisfied with it) the two countries
could arbitrate the matter. And even
then you always maintained that Chilli
would not voluntarily propose arbitration
herself, but would do so when requested
by some friendly power to take that course.
On one occasion You mentioned Spain as a
nation likely to intervene with Chill most
effectively. Your mention of arbitration
was always as a method to be adopted in
the future if we were not content, as
have said, with the judgment Of the court.
You remarked that to adopt it before
would be discrediting the judgment of the
court in advance. You always looked to
the future for the proposal and acceptance
of arbitration. You say in your note: 81

HE SITUATION IN CHILL.

SANTIAGO. Jan. 30.-A cable despatch
has been received from Minister Montt at
Washington, repeating the text OF PreSi-
dent Harrison message to congress, ac-
companying Chill reply to the ultimatum
Of the United States, Nothing was said
in the despatch relating to the question of
future arbitration and indemnity, but
Chill will certainly pay whatever indem-
nifty is agreed upon. Little is heard in
Santiago or Valparaiso but expressions of
satisfaction at the peaceful solution of the
trouble. Officers of the navy would be
pleased to see your squadron again in

have an excellent effect

Notwithstanding the certainty of peace
no orders have been issued by the Navy
Department countermandinY the impera-
tive orders already given to put the Navy
Department upon the best possible war
footing. 1t is not certain that the orders
to the naval vessels to proceed to Chilian
waters will be withdrawn. 1t is thought
by naval officers, members of the Govern
ment and of Congress, that it would be
beneficial to the United States, now that
the fleet is so well underway, to have it
proceed to the Pacific coast and to have
it visit Chill and other South American
ports, and to show the people of those
countries that the United States has ma
val force adequate to protect its citizens.
and that it may be well for those countries
hereafter to take notice of this fact.
MIR. DANA IS AN AMERICAN AND A
PATRIOT
Chill has exercised her option, and she
has chosen peace. Our sister republic has
learned lesson which she is not likely to
forget for years.
The event justifies every measure of
preparation for war that has been taken
by the Navy Department under Secretary
Tracy's energetic and far-seeing manage
ment. 1t is solely because we were ready
for war that war was averted.
OF the patriotism, wisdom and firmness
of Gen. Harrison's policy throughout the
affair there is no more doubt than of
the patriotic readiness of the Democratic
House to support the Administration.

ry of State, and the Democratic Congress-

Deafness Can't be Cured

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that IS by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-

you have rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, Deafness Is the result, and un-
less the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in

The Fishing season.


Now the days are getting longer and little
softer, too,
and the grass and leaves are springing where
the same last summer grew:
There is weakness IN mems walking, perspira-
ton on the brow
Ard longing for an outing, since the days are
longer now
To work men go. all thinking how they used to
dig for bait
And scurry OF across the fields, though penni-
less, elate,
The rod and line and hook in hand. the fish
worms in a can
And deep commiseration for the toiling
grown-up man.
The years have fed as water does within the
tireless brooks.
They've brought the money-making and the
deep contents OF books;
They've blotted many bOyish taste, but not
that early wish
To go with bait and hook and line out TO the
creek and ash
And so when May comes in each year, and soft
days longer grow,
Men long to go and linger where the fishing
waters flow,
To drop their letter writing just to drop the
fish line
And think that they are boys again as in the aud
lang syne
