No Duty on Tin,

Colonel Alex. Campbell is telling the
Australians many things they like to
hear, but he falls into common error
when he tellsthem that we have high
duty on block tin. There is no duty at
all on that commodity. The duty is on
tin plate, which is very little tin and
very much sheet iron or sheet steel.
When We shall have shown that We
have tin mining industry that would
be helped by a protective duty, itshould
be so protected, just as we protect ma
tive iron ore and coal. This point We
shall reach.

The Distress in HnSsia

The New York World publishes
i$lengthy article from Count Leo Tolstoi.
4 the Russian novelist and refcrmer, Civ
ing the results OF his personal inquiry
into the distress prevailing in certain
parts Of Russia.
At the time Of Count Tolstoi's visits
the poor peasants were living on very
small portions Of an article called bread
made OF about one-half rye and an equal
part Of the detcstable pigweed, which
latter acts both as apurgatiye aud an
cmetic; were finishing up what was
81 lett OF the wooden implements and
utensils which they were forced to use
for fuel in connection with the cxcrc-
sment OF horses and cattle where that
was to be had.
81 Ono poor fellow said he Ind just pur-
chased from u landed proprietor some
potato stalks ior. which he was to pay at
Z tho atc Of one aero titled for each acre
iotpotate stalks; that is to say, for each
i acrethe took OF this misunderstanding
for food he was to make an acre Of crop
forthe land owner, breaking the ground
and delivering the produce. Another

sithe four wooden walls OF his hut and
was burning the fourth for fuel.

continued 10 get as drunk as lords rs

Count To!stoi says scarcity OF foodis,
&due not alone to the bad harvest, but

aIr. Brcckonridgo's Dark Suspicion

lir. Brcckonridge's Dark Suspicion.
Mr.. Breckenridge, OF Kentucky, is one
OF the guardians OF the public welfare
who sleeps with one eye open. Just
now he suspects that he has suspicion
which places the President in an un-
favorable attitude. He thinks it pos
sible that before the President sent his
message to Congress he was advised OF
Chilc's backdown, rs published in the
newspapers yesterday morning.
On this narrow edge OF his exuberant
fancy the talented gentleman from the
blue grass state mounts and proceeds
to larup the president. Ii the President
knew what IIr. Breckenridge processes
to think he may have known he is
more powerful mind-reader than any
the world has yet known, the lamented
Madam Blavatsky excepted.
The Chilean minister in Washington
knew nothing about it until he saw it
in the newspapers yesterday morning.
Nobody in Washington knew anything
about it. The Associated Press dispatch
reached this country so late that it did
not get to the ISTELLiGEycER office until
ten minutes before three o'clock yester-
day morning.
1t is a reasonable supposition that
Chile's decision in the matter was
prccipitated blythe knowledge that on
Monday the President would send his
message 10, Congress. The Chilean min
lister in Washington had asked for more
time and the President, having waited
for more than three months, wisely
declined to extend the period OF
patience. Ii the President had desired
to rush matters he has had plenty OF
time since he began TO try 10 bring the
offending country to terms without war.
The fact is that the administration
has conducted the whole affair with SO
much moderation, calmness and dignity
that il would have been strange if,there
had not been in Congress one man SO
partisan as to try to take something
from the credit OF the performance.
The people will have no sympathy with
! this bushWhackinr.

Arbitration Will Do.

Tho question OF the butchery Of our
sailors in Valparaiso is not one for arbi.
tration. The record OF the local court
is enough to make Chile liable to this
country. The measure Of compensation
and the form OF apology maybe SUBJ
mitted to arbitration. We can afford
to accept that which an impartial tri-
bunal may say We are entitled TO, be-
cause We do not want war and have
from the first been DESTROYS OF avoiding
it. Happily for both countries, particu-
larly for the weaker one, there is to be
no war.

Mr.. Henry M. CIews, the great
Wall street fnancier, was in favor
of war with Chilli, because, as he
said, if the United States went to
war, it would have to issae bonds,
and borrow. money. Mr.. Henry M.
Clews' patriotism is updoubted; as
also his disinterestedness. If Uncle
Sam borrowed money, Mr.. Clews
was, and is, ready to make the
great sacrifice of lending money.
The president also wanted to go to
war; not SO much because he thirst
ed for blood, as because Mr.. Clews
thirsted for more national bonds,
and more interest money The
Republican politician wanted war,
because it would furnish them fat
Jobs, in which they would get rich,
and the poor working man would be
made poorer. The plutocratic press
wanted war, and because its editors
are either fools, or knaves; and last,
but least, q few of the common pso-
pie wanted war, because they do
not do enough original thinking.
But there is another class, not count
ed, but who will be felt in the near
future, who do not want war, viz:
the labor organizations, who have
learned that war 10 the rich mans
opportunity to plumber the poor,
and 10 the poor mans hell.
