THE GILLIAN WAR CLOUD.

There have been during the week
past some very audible mutterings
of war in connection with the mis-
understanding between Chill and the
United States; and the unusual
activity in naval and military circles,
combined with certain emphatic
statements emanating from Wash
ington, has seemed to furnish sufh-
cient ground for these mutterings.
The president was expected to send
a message on the Gillian question to
congress atleast by to~day;-and then
a possible declaration of war. But
the later reports say that the
presidents message will not be forth
coming for a week, and this lends
color to the rumor that conciliatory
dispatches have been received from
Chill and that President Harrison
desires still further to investigate the
affair before communicating with
congress-.
While every American citizen will
agree that the dignity of the United
States must be maintained, any in
suit properly resented, and the prop
erty and persons of her citizens fully
protected wherever they are, there
seems no reason why she should not
be forbearing with a small republic
l,I,a CbII, o,I r,yo ba,- n ,r1a +ir1a for
the reparation of n wrongs she
may have committed as regards this
nation. A declaration of war would
mean a great deal for Chill; it
would probably result III the COM
plete winding up of that young and
apparently indiscreet republic, and
the impairment of the material in
terests of some other countries. 1t
probably wonld mean for the United
States an advance in commercial
supremacy. But would it be worth
all the sacrifice of life and money
that a declaration of var would
call for?
That Chill has been hasty is not
for a moment to be denied; and that
the United States must assert it's
power is equally certain. But let the
declaration of war by this far the
stronger country be withheld until
it becomes absolutely sure that Chill
has lost all her sense of honor and
justice and needs to be taught a les
son. AS we understand it, the point
at issue has not been fully passed
upon by the Gillian authorities, and
President Harrison is wise in making
haste slowly in so important a
matter.
Latest advices indicate that the
United States authorities have been
asked for further delay, with the as
that if time is given amends
will be made; which is as it should
be, and perfectly consistent with
national dignity and honor.

SILVER AND TARIFF TINKERING.

Considerable plain language has
been used at Washington within the
past few days, and the reason there
for is the free silver and tariff tinker
ing tendencies Of certain democratic
congressman. 1t is very evident that
a majority of the coinage committee
are decidedly in favor of immediate
action on the part of the house look
ing directly toward the passage of a
bill for the unlimited coinage of silver,
and a warm debate resulted on
Thursday last over a resolution
with that end in view. MI. Williams
of Massachusetts, did some plain talk
ing, and warned his democratic col
leagues that if they persisted in thus
forcing their extreme silver views to
the front it would certainly hurt the
party-in fact, he prophesied that
any i~ndiscretion of this sort would
undoubtedly result in the loss of

nearly or quite all of the democratic
congressman from New England.
Bradley B. Smalley, the Vermont
member of the democratic national
committee. has also recently been in
Washington and expressed himself
rather strongly. The quality of this
gentlenan's democracy is not TO be
questioned; but he tells his party
leaders down there that if a free silver
bill is persisted in it will insure the
reelection of Harrison and con-
sequent disaster to the democratic
party. He hints pretty plainly that
New York. New Jersey, Connecticut
and Wisconsin will not stand any
foolishness on the silver question,
but would undoubtedly go republican
on such an issue, and that a repub-
lican house would succeed the present
democratic one. In view of the utter
impossibiiity of any such silver bill
becoming a law at present, he looks
upon the devotion of the Southern
members to it as a somewhat foolish
adherence to a mere theory" and
cannot see any excuse for fC-cing the
issue.
Then Mr.. Springer, who is doing a
little tariff tinkering on his own &C
count, is not meeting with much en-
enlargement even from the members
of his own committee, but instead
with a great deal Of opposition from
Southern democrats on the question
of what raw materials" should be
put on the free list.
Altogether, the congressman on
the other side are not having a
harmonious time of it thus far in
determining upon any particular line
of policy, and the outcome will be
awaited with interest. From a
business point of view, however, it is
about time for the house to show its
hand if it has any hand to show.

Apropos of recent liquor raids
in different sections of the state,
it may be said that unless the

recove rapidly from these raids.
and the so-called closing of the
saloon hasno permanent significance.
Frequent and persistent raids, how
ever. backed up by the finding of
something more than a first offence
in the courts, would have a tendency
to discourage the violators of the
prohibitory law.
