South.

THE JUDICIAL VERDICT
In the case of Turnbull there is much con-
fiicting testimony, but on the strength of
the admission by Charles Gomez that he
used a knife against Turnbull and the evil
dence OF two witnesses that Jose Ahmudha
inflicted blows upon the Americans, and
that Federico Rodriguez stabbed Riggin in
the hip, they find them guilty, but add
there is no evidence to show that Turn
DulPS death was caused by wounds inflicted
by Carlos Gomez. John Davidson. a
Baltimore sailor, was found guilty of hitting
with a stone one armed Chilean sailor,
who was knlhng an American sailor The
final findings are as follows: Il ask the
court to condemn Federico Rodriguez to
the minor punishment in the minimum de-
gree OF from 81 to $40 days; Carlos Gomez
to the minor punishment In the maximum
dagree for three years; John Davidson,
the Baltimore sailor, to prison in the
medium degree from ten to fifteen years;
Jose Ahmudha TO prison in the medium de-
gree from three years and one day to five
years."
THE CHILEAN MOTIVE.
A gentleman who understand the Chilean
people and the Government pretty well
says: 1T Is difficult to say what is the mo-
tive of some Of the Governments conduct un-
less 1t be war. Some things can be explained
away and some other things can't. Some
times they seem bent on making difficulties
and adding insult to insult. They have
very good opinion of themselves and fancy
they are very great diplOmates, but seem to
care precious little for the diplomatic rights
OF others. Among some OF them" so
says my informant "the opinion prevails
that the United States would not cOnde-
scend to fight so inferior foe; but among
very many others there exists the insane
belief that she does not dare do So"
A THRIFTY REPORTER.
One of the latest disclosures is the curious
fact that Thompson, the correspondent Of
the London Times, is trying to sell the
Chilean Government a man-Of-WaT. This
man is acting in other directions. 1t is he
who caused to be inserted in the Chilean
papers the selections from a lot of European
journals to the effect that the United States
has no navy worth noticing and Chile could.
with no trouble at all, sink all her ships and
levy q contribution on San Francisco.
The Chleans when pressed hard are
forced to admit that they would of neces-
sity be compelled to submit TO the United
States in the end that the result would be
tempered, however, and they would be let
down very easy by their superior diplO-
macy.
The Chilean feet has had steam up for
the last three or four days, and they have
more or less torpedo practice every day.
The authorities now give out that the ships
are to 90 south for exercise. The generally
accepted rumOr, though, is that they have
been ordered to the Straits of Magellan
with the intention of lying in wait for Adj
miral Walker and the white squadron in
case he be ordered to the west coast. This
may or may not be true, but there is no
doubt that the Chilean ships are in fighting
trim ana ready for action.

President Harrison and Pensions.

The Democratic literary bureau,
along with its utilization of Pension
Commissioner Raum, is disseminating
an assertion that President Cleveland
approved Il greater number of pension
bills than President Harrison has done.
The FOrty-ninth and Fiftieth Congress
eS passed 2,042 private pension bills.
OF these 297 were vetoed either by
message or by pocketing, and 227 be-
came laws by lapse of time without his
approval, so that he approved only
1,5lS, of them.
The last Republican Congress passed
1877 private pension bills, every one of
which received President HarrisonS
approval and became law. But then
came in the present Democratic Con-
gress with its overwhelming Southern
control ON the Democratic side As a
result there weeks following weeks
when no private pension bill could even
obtain consideration in the House, to
say nothing of being passed. No
quorum could be mustered in a House
with a Democratic majority of 140 to
consider bills To pension old soldiers.
1t was only on the last private night of
the session that the House, in panic
at the pension record it would have to
go before the country with shoveled 105
bills into the hopper and approved
them in 100 minutes. But with all this
reckless haste 10 make record the
first session of the Fifty-second Con
gress enacted only 1873 private pension
bills. These bacame laws with Presi-
dent Harrison's approval. Compare
this 1873 bills with the $40 of the first
! session of the Fifty-frst Congress of
even with the TAI bills which became
laws at the first session of the Demo
cratic ,kiftieth Congress, and it is seen
who is to blame for the apparently
fewer number of bills approved by
President Harrison. Yet, unless the
second session of morethan-a billion-
dollar Congress makes the number of
worthy pension bills less than ten,
President Harrison will still have APP
proved more private pension bills than
did President Cleveland in his full term
These facts are stated because the
Democrats seem insistent about figures.
The figures seem superflous when the
unfeelng popularity with which Cleve-
land dwelt upon the injuries TO old
soldiers in his pension vetoes is re-
called. In his veto of the Total Disa-
bility Pension act of the Forty-ninth

drends of thousands of pensioners who
never obtained their rights until Presi-
dent Harrison signed the Dependent
Pension bill passed by the Republican
Fifty-first Congress.
The other day President Harrison at
tended soldiers reunion at Malone up
in the mountain region of New York.
Here is the way he closed the little
speech he made;
And now, comrades of the Grand
Army of the Republic, surviving veter-
ans of that gallant band that from these
mountains and valleys went out to de-
tend the flag, j give you comrades
greeting to-day. God bless you, every
one. God forgive the heartlessness of
that American in this bright day of
prosperity and unity who can begrudge
to any of you the just dues of your hard
service"

The later the news from Maine the
better. 1t seems that the Democrats
have suffered losses in both branches of
the state legislature; that every county
in the state mot IA out of the 10, rs we
stated last week. have elected Republi-
officers; that Governor elect Cleves has
over IL, 600 majority, and that the plural
ity on congressman is $4,000. This, too,
with the smallest total vote east in Il
presidential year since 1872. The signi-
ticance of the victory lies not in the
size of the majorities nor in the can
didates themselves, but in the unques-
toned disposition of intelligent voters
to withstand the furious assaults of
tariff demolitionists With such re-
turn To their senses from the maynard
ness of 1890 as voters have sgnilied in
the contests in Alabama, Vermont and
Maine it requires no horoscope to fore
cast glorious Republican triumph six
