A DECISION EXPECTED.
Chile Will Soon Reply to the United
States Demands.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-The question Of
peace or war is trembling in the balance to-
night and a settlement will almost certainly
come within three days. 1t Is generally be-
lieved now among the best informed that
Chile will make the United States decisive
answer very shortly. OF course the charac-
ter Of that decision cannot be fOretold, but
If it be in the form Of an apology and an
announcement OF her desire to make repair
alton, both must be entirely satisfactory TO
the Administration. or the prenarationS for
war Will not be discontinued In this country.
a Cabinet Minister discussed the situa-
ton tonight and gave what he believed TO
be Chile's reasons ior delay He said that
the party IN power there was obliged to
move slowly in order not to antRgOniZe their
opponents and had been obliged to consider
three points These were: The demands
for protection made by the refugees, Matta's
offensive note, and the assault upon the Bal
timore's sailors.
CALL AT THE NAVAL OFFICE.
Secretary Tracy received formal call
from the House Committee on Naval Affairs
during the morning. Though Chilean mat
ters may have been actively discussed the
visit was not made for that purpose.
A member OF the committee subsequently
said the visit was purely a social one.
There was some talk between the Secretary
and his visitors concerning the personnel
of the navy and the stagnati0n in pro-
motions among the officers. When
asked whether the question OF the condition
Of the navy in connection with the pending
Chilean troubles was preached the member
evaded the question by suggesting that
such a subject would be more properly con-
sidered by a call from the Secretary on the
committee. The member gave the impress
sion that Chilean affairs formed a very
small part, If indeed any portion, Of the
conversation between the Secretary and the
committee.
No Information has yet been received at
the Navy Department that the Yorktown
has actually sailed from Valparaiso for
Calla0, although Commander Evans cabled

"To Him That Is Dehled, Nothing Is
Pure"

From the Morrice Tribune.
The Owosso Press thinks that because the
Tribune objects to cartoons which insult
American institutions, it must he under pay
of the republican party. To be sure.
the Republican party of this country is de-
cidedly American, whose policy is the pre-
servatiOn of American markets for the
American people, while between the demo-
crazy as advocated by our esteemed contem-
porary and England there has always been
warm mpathes;neverthees the Tribune is
neither under pay of the republican party of
America, nor the Golden Club of England.
The Tribune is an American paper, proud
of American institutions, which have made
our country an asylum for the down-trodden
of every land. As such, we protest against
any and all foreign bred attacks. which, to
say the least, show dislOyalty in any
American who holsters them before the
public.
The Press calls for one, just one case
where protected labor has had its wages
increased, by reason of the Mckinley bill.
We could cite to more than a score of
them; here are few: Camden Wooden Co.,
Camden, Maine, manufacturers of dress
goods, increase of wages 10 per cent. AL
fred Dodge, DOlgeville, y. Y, felt goods,
20 per cent Enterprise Manufacturing Co.
Mannheim, Pa, Overalls, 30 per cent. ThOm-
aston Knife Co., Thomaston, Conn.,, cutlery,
10 per cent.
Our contemporary cited to the recent UNI
pleasantness in the Detroit button factory,
as attributable to decrease i'm wages
through the effects of our protective tariff.
The facts are these: In the past the girls
employed there have been paid by the week.
but the scale has now changed so that they
work by the piece, and, unfortunately for
the Press, the girls are now earning more
than they did before the change.
Now will our friend please tell us how
our American tariff system is responsible for
the enormous recent strikes i'm free trade
Europe? And while about it it would be
very interesting if he would tell us
how reciprocity is grinding the hands
from labor. We call for an instance
where the wages of laborers have been
decreased by reciprocity, for each in
stance we have and are willing to mention
where laborers have had their wages in
creased by reason of the Mckinley bill.

Is It SO Z?

We hear that millionaire candidate for
the governOrship of this state has left through
his agents five hundred dollars with certain
political wire pullers of this county to be
used as corruption fund to pack the cOun-
ty convention with delegates in his favor
We believe the great majority of the people
of the county are not in favor of the system
of booming candidate who has no claim
upon the position except the money he is
willing to spend to get it. We hope the
voters of the county will resent this insult 10
their sovereignty and intellig nee. 1t is
time this dlsreputable method of foisting I'M
known or unworthy men upon the party was
put down. We have suffered defeat because
of it before, let us learn wisdom from the
past, let us show the state that Shiawassee
county has mind of her own and is not
carried in the pockets of few politi-
clans, who are always for sale to the highest
bidder. Republicans of Shiawassee county,
attend your caucuses and put down any man
who strives to buy position that should
only come 10 a man because the people
choose to honor him. HONESTY.
