The Argus alleges that The PRESS has
misunderstood its position; and AYERS
that it does believe that wise legislation
has tendency to decrease the quantity
of liquors drunk, and consequently
drunkenness. Then it is fair to infer
that the Argus is recommending license
as specimen of that wise legislation
which has tendency to decrease drink
ing and drunkenness. viii the Argus be
kind enough to explain how it is that the
placing of saloons under the protection
of the law, so that they can be established
along the most frequented streets. and
be filled up with every attraction which
the ingenuity of theirproprietors may de-
wise has tendency to diminish drinking?
1t is easy enough to see that it may tend
to make the rumshop more respectable,
more orderly perhaps, and more high
toned. Is the tendency of these things
to drive away custom OF to attract it?

These are rather gloomy times for
Mugwumps. Every day brings addition
al proof of the decline of the Cleveland
boom, and new evidence that the next
candidate of the Democratic party for
President will be dictated by the Hill
German combination, which loveth not
the Mugwumps. In vain these gentle
men shout that nobody can be elected
President who alienates the so-called
independent vote. In vain Mr.. George
Fred Williams threatens the Democracy
with the loss of New England if they do
not take strong ground against free sill
yer. The Hill-German combination sim
ply laughs them to scorn, and coolly
informs them that the Democracy can
get along better without their help than
with it.

disquieting feature in the situations
the extent OF the ability of the Gillian
government or of its courage, to act ac-
cording to the dictates of its own judg-
4nent. The smaller this ability OF cour-
age the greater the danger of war.
There can be little doubt that in acceding
to our demands the government will an
tagonize the feelings of large part of the
populace of Valparaiso and Santiago,
and expose itself to very bitter hos
tility. 1t is obvious enough that the feel
ing of the people toward the United
States is one of great bitterness. If they
understood our strength their bitterness
would be so much tempered with dis
cretion that they would hesitate before
provoking a contest. But they know
very little about us, and what little they
have seen of our navy has not tended to
impress them. They have whipped
Peru, and several other South American
republics and have been intoxicated with
the notion that they can whip anything
on this continent. Hence they are only
too anxious to have brush with this
country. Has the government the cour
age to antagonize this demonstrative ele-
ment of the population? That is the
question upon the correct answer to
which depends very largely the outcome
of the present controversy, whether it
shall be war or peace. And the reason
that the situation has grown more dis
quieting of late is the appearance of signs
tending to indicate that the answer to
this question must be in the negative;
that is that the government dare not
affront the people by acceding to our de-
mands. 1t is to be hoped that these
signs will prove delusive, but it must be
admitted that they exist and afford some
ground for apprehension that Il peaceful
settlement of the controversy, which
every right minded citizen of the United
States hopes for, may not be forthcoml-
inp

THE GILLIAN CONTROVERSY.

1t must be admitted that the prospect
of peaceful settlement of the difficulty
between this country and Chill has not
improved during the past week. On the
other hand there appears to be some rea-
son for believing that it has refrigerated.
Of course the stories from Washington
and Santiago are good deal colored by
correspondents anxious to give the pa
pers which they represent something
sensational and interesting. But after
making liberal allowance for the exag-
gerations there remain some disquieting
facts. So far as our own gov eminent is
concerned there is nothing to indicate
that it is anxious for anything but peace
full settlement, provided it can be had
without the sacrifice of honor. Doubt
less preparations are being made to meet
the possible contingency of war, but or
binary prudence would dictate that
But there are no signs of clustering, no
indication of an intention to embarrass
the CHILEAN government and render it's
compliance with our reasonable request
more difficult by peremptory demands
or ultimatums. The facts and appearances
which make the situation disquieting
come from the CHILEAN end of the con-
troversy. 1t has all along beer gener-
ally recognized that the Gillian govern
ment would meet our demands and apol-
ogize for the insults to our flag if it dared
to do so. Of it's inclination to do so
there has been little room for doubt, for
the very good reason that it is composed
of intelligent men who understand the
comparative strength of the two nations
and know perfectly we'll that the little
South American republic, with its mea-
gre 10000 900 of people is no match for
this great country with its 60,000,0 900.
Left free to act it would undoubt-
