Tho news from Washington this
morning has decidedly warlikc tone,
and it is possible that Chile, after all,
may have tasto Of Uncle Sans fight
ing qualities. OF course these views
arc only predicted on tho unusual pre-
parations going on in the naval circles,
tho Sunday work yesterday being an
extraordinary occurrence.
Tho latest intelligence from Chile
indicates that the war party in that
country will overcome the peaceful in.
clinations OF President Mont, and the
answer OF that country to the demands
Of tho United States will Intentionally
be framed in unsatisfactory phrases.
All eyes are on President Harrison,
and his message to Congress, which prob.
ably will be sent in tomorrow, will be
awaited with great anxiety. The United
States cannot afford to DO otherwise
than firm now.

not doubled, but tho insane population
under treatment had more than trcblcd.
Tho average number for the whole state,
besides those in alms-houses, was 1850,

Election Of Senators.

The question OF submitting consti-
tutional amendment providing for tine
election OF United States senators
directly by the people was discussed in
the house committee Saturday. Tho
question was agitatcd some time ago and
met with approval in almost every sec
i5tion OF tho country. 1t is a notorious
fact that frequently tho choice OF the
Legislature is not the choice OF the poo.

OF brains and ability. Calvin 5. Brico
has no more business in the senate than
] had his predecessor, Standard Oil
Payne. These men, through the inau-
&ence OF powerful corporations and the
corrupt uso OF money, succeeded in
pushing aside real meri t and inlicting
n great wrong on the country.
Ut is no wonder that the movement
hasa large following in Congress. Hap

Mr.. Preisler, who made the proposal
10 furnish tho city with natural gas
from the Cameron field, insists that his
company has the gas, and names some
very prominent men as members OF his
company. The probability OF receiving
much Of a supply from that source has
not heretofore impressed the public
very strongly. That there is some gas
in the field known rs the Cameron field
is known, but SO far the development
does not encourage the belief that with
the experience with the fuel in the past
it would pay to develop the field and
pipe the gas to Wheeling. Still, it is
certainly possible that there might be
an adequate supply there. The older
gas companies have no confidence in it.
but they may be mistaken, and the
matter ought to be looked into thor
oughly and not dismissed on the pre-
sumption that it is not worth invcstiga-
ton. Any plan that offers supply OF
gas ample for all purposes is certainly
worth examination, if the probabilities
are not all in its favor.
The city's "ultimatum" in response
to the "ultimatum" OF the natural gas
company is printed in another column
OF this mornings paper. 1t now re-
mains to be seen which of the two is
the mora ultimate" At the best the
factories cannot hope fur better supply
