a few figures, more or less, amounts to

the appropriation of sf7, 100, 510,000 in

That tbe honor and dignity OF the on''eo
States should be maintained al hi na~S'.'
-ho,oyor recessary. no one will gainsay; oth-
ervise this country would have no S'anuing
among the peoples of the enrtn' ana no
foreign nation. however insignificant wouio
~. ,oenect for her. But the question Can
wo afford TO 90 to war with small country
l;ke Chilisr is one which is right hard to answer
in the Affirmative
In such war the United States could NJ
best. Gain very little credit. II would not be
much honor to John J.. Sullivan 10 KNOCK
down small boy. even though the latter had
grossly insulted him. and OF the same princl-
ple tho United States could not gain much
honor in tho civilized world by blotting out
Chill from the map of South America. True
citizens Of the United States have been
wantonly assaulted and murdered IN tnat
little republic. and the outrage cannot Dc
overlooked. but there are a good many psllla-
ting reasons for the misconduct OF the CIlN-
ans. and therefore war. with It's attehuans
horrors and bloodshed, should not be resorted
to until every possible effort at ayertihg II
has been e1erted
There is little doubt that the spirit OF AMI
mostly manifested by the Chilian people To-
ward the United States has been provoked
by the direct action of the Federal admin
istration. The friendship of Minister Lgah
to Balmaceda and his hostility to the reyo-
lutionists was we'll known, and that be was
therefore persona non grata' to the Chli-
ian Government was generally understood.
Yet. in spite of this, the Administration per-
sisted in keeping him at his post. and
this. in all likelihood. the Chilian
people resented as showing contempt tor
their wishes. Had Balmaceda been promptly
removed and another minister sent 10 Chill,
who was more in sympathy with the newly
formed government of that republic. there IS
good ground for the opinion that the
outrage on the sailors of the Baltimore
would never have been perpetrated.
Then there is also considerable sus-
picion that the President would be very
glad indeed Of an opportunity to engage IN
war with our little South American sister,
since no hopes that the success which he
knows would be certain eventually to he
achieved by our arms would rebound To MS
credit. and assist in securing him the renoinl-
nation he so much coyets.
When all these things are reflected on 1t
shows that Congress should 90 very slowly IN
declaring war. In fact the whole difficulty
can in all probability, be finally settled by
arbitration if submitted to an international
court. That method should at least be tiled,
and if it fails then it will be time to bring
Chill to her senses by force. TO pursue any
other policy would smack very strongly OF
iingoism and bullying.

COUNTRY HOMES.

Our correspondent in WestmOreland county
in his letter in our present issue refers % the
sale in that county TO a Northern gentleman
of fortune of tract of five thousand
acres OF valuable land. which formerly be-
longed 20 the estates of General Alexander
Parker. Richard Henry Lee and others The
new purchaser proposes TO erect residence
at 4 cost Of $4,000, improve the soil and hold
the property as his country seat. Considera-
bic bodies of land in the same county of
more or less historic interest have been
bought by Northern men Of wealth for
similar purpose. In many other parts OF Nir-
ginia the same fact Is to be noted.
The Duke of Marlborough in a recent arti-
Gle on influences in American life. dwels at
some length on the disposition which is now
observable among the members of the wealth.
est class at the North TO own large rural
properties which they look upon as their
home during part Of the year and around
which their strongest interests centre. Quite
naturally this disposition so Jar has been dis
played in the purchase chiefly of landed
estates which do not lie very far away from
the great cities in which these persons of
wealth have their winter residences The
recent purchases in Westmoreland county. as
well az others elsewhere in Virginia, show
that this desire among Northern men Of for
tune for country homes will not hereafter be
restricted to a choice in the Northern States.
There is already a growing incinati Il TO,
make purchases in Virginia, because here
landed properties are TO be obtained at lower
prices, the climate is more eQuable and there
are many farms and plantations to be bought
which are invested with extraordinary his
torical interest There can lie little doubt
that the day Will come again when most of
| the weli-known homes of Eastern Virginia
which still remain will see a revival of much
of their ancient glories through the fact that
they have passed INTO the hands of families
that are in possession of wealth accumulated
either in Northern or Virginia cities
! All the present indications would seem to
Justify the prediction that the plutocrscy
the North will, in time, seek to erect sys-
TEN OF life exactly similar to that followed in
England which involves the ownership Of
great tracts of land with magnificent country
residences which. rather than London. are
the centres of that life. In Virginia to-day the
tendencies are towards the disruption Of the
little that survives Of the old country life.
which was based upon the principle of
large plantations which are now rapidly under
going subdivision. The trend in the other
direction at the North, so far as the wealthiest
class of its citizens are concerned, will not be
seen in this State until the accumulation Of
wealth has reached a very advanced stage.
but it will be probably fastened by the in
creasing number of purchases of large
landed properties which will be made every
year in Virginia by men Of wealth from the
North who wish to own country homes where
they can spend considerable proportion of
every twelve months.
