International Right From Two
Points of View.


Points OF View.
While it cannot he denied that q
government is answerable for the acts
of its subjects, it is obvious that it
cannot be held responsible in the
same way or degree that it can for its
own official acts or those Of its accred-
tied agents. This is a position which
has been taken in very advanced style
by American diplomats in a recent
controversy-in such very advanced
style, indeed, that the rest of the
civilized powers of the earth dissented
in unison, for they failed to see where
in it differed in a complete disavowal
by the Federal administration or the
nation at large of responsibility for
the acts of the people of the several
States.
When popular uprising of the citi-
zens of New Orleans resulted in the
lynching of number of alleged sub
iects of the italian Government, Mr.
Blaine's best excuse to Premier
Rudini was that the incident was one
over which the Federal Government
had no control, and had no power to
punish, and that it in no way compro-
missed the friendly feelings, intent and
attitude OF the United States as na-
tion or government towards Italy as
q sister in the family of nations.
Mr.. Blaine was unquestionably
right in part, and unquestionaly
wrong in part; but having bluffed out
the quarrel with Italy on this plat
Form, it is strange to see Mr.
Blaine and his master, Mr.. Is.
Harrison conducting the dispute with
Chile on the basis of q total negation
OF every proposition it had previously
set up. TO judge from the tone OF
his War Message, President Harrison
thinks Chile as u government ought
to be held responsible not only for
the unofficial acts of her people. done
in contravention of her own laws, but
even for the feelings which they indi-
vidually entertain, just in the same
degree as if the acts We're done by the
Chilean uniformed forces, and the
feelings of hostility to the United
States were those which animated the
policy of the government or the ma
tion as diplomatic entity.
This seems to us to be very poor
sort of business With one power
we--at least so far as Messrs. Blaine
and Harrison represent us-were will
ing to crawl out Of, liability by any
tort of loophole; with another, be-
,ause we feel str ong enough, We want

Today,s Chilean News.

There are several items of news in
today's papers in reference to the
Chilean controversy, which are
worthy of a passing comment. For
instance we are told that President
Harrison is dissatisfied with the
Chilean answer to his ultimatuln.
We are certainly not surprised. We
should think he would be very much
dissatisfied, for it sends him down
through the procession of the ages a
dishonored and discredited man.
But we are told that Mr.. Blaine is
perfectly satisfied with the reply. OF
course he is, for what could more con-
clusively knock out Mr.. Harrison's
Presidential boom? All the intrigues
that Mr. Blaine and his clique could
concoct between now and next June
could not so compile tely and efficiently
dispose of Mr.. Harrison's aspirations
as has that one mild little telegram of
President Montt.
In the second place, we are told that
the Chilean Government is dissatis-
fed with its Minister at Washington,
Senior Pedro Montt, because he kept
assuring them that everything was
pleasant at Washington, that there
was no danger of a warlike move.
Thus, we are told, President Harri-
sons ultimatum was a thunder clap
of surprise to them Now il is in
credible that Mr.. Montt willfully de-
ceived his own government. Where
did the false impression come from
then7 Who deceived him? Was it
Mr.. Blaine? Has that willy and un-
scrupulous old conspirator been shap-
ing the course OF event for the ruin of
Mr.. Harrison? We must say it looks
very like it.
Then we are told that Malta is a
popular idol in Chile, where all the hot
bloods want to fight. OF course! Do
not all the hot bloods want to fight
here, too, and are we not prepared to
toss our caps over windmills, as the
French say, over Fighting Bob" or
any other of our gallant sailormen who
will give the Chileans taste of Uncle
Sans powder and shot?
But the day of the hot bloods has
passed. They are under the same wet
blanket with Mr.. Harrison. Neither
country has any use for them.

in Ills BWel ing.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

STOCKTON. July 5.-Barney LAWN, an
old painter. 76 years of age, was burned to
death this morning 10 his dwelling in this
city. where he lived for years with his aged
wife. sLavin had been addicted TO drinking
for many years. and on the Fourth of July
he was unusually full, so that he laid down
In his yard TO sleep off the stupor. At
about O'Clock his wife got him into the
house. Once there, he became noisy and
abusive and his wife called in neighbor to
quiet him. LAWN was calmed down and
the wife went to bed, leaving him walking
around the house. At half-past o'clock
this morning she was awakened by smoke
entering her room, and, running out, she
saw that the house was ON fire. She
found her husband lying on the bed in his
room and succeeded in dragging him nearly
to the door and then. believing that
he would get out. she ran back
to her room to save her vaIu-
ables. The old lady got out safely,
but, when she reachead the yard her hus-
band was nowhere to be seen, and no one
In the crowd that had gathered noticed him
coming away from the burning dwelling.
A neIghbor told the chief of the Fire De-
partment that he had heard groans in the
old mans bedroom during the fire, but the
body could not be seen on looking In at the
window. Then the water was turned on
that part Of the house, aud after the fire
had been extiDguished Barney's remains
were found curled up on the floor of the
bedroom, the features being unacceptable
and one hand being burned off.
What was left of the body was taken in
charge of by the Coroner.
1t is supposed that the man set the house
on hre accidentally while smoking his pipe
and falling asleep was overpowered by the
smoke before awakening, and never re-
gained consciousness. even when his wife
was trying to drag him OUT.
