Tho South American Rebellions.

The rebellion In Argentina, which has
been kept up for about three months, is at
m end. IL we can believe the official reports
sent out by the Government there; and we
have not any doubt that these reports are
trustworthyin the main. Some OF the rebel
leaders have fed and others are In prison !;
the rebel troops have been disarmed: the
rebel gunboat and the two rebel torpedo
boats have been captured by the naval
cruisers, all OF which adhered to the Gov
eminent. We do not see how the rebellion
can be resumed, though there may yet be
some fighting. Perhaps more than hum
dred lives have been lost In the strife, and
perhaps several hundred men have been
wounded. The Government ought now to
be more firmly established than 1t has been
ut any other time since President PENA
took Office one year ago. Argentina Is apt
to be In a state OF political turmoil.
The rebellion in Brazil is Of the same
nature rs that which has come to an end in
Argentina, and grew out OF the misconduct
Of PEIxoTo as the other grew out OF that OF
PENA. At least four OF the Brazilian States
are opposed to the Federal Administra-
ton and its policy. and we cannot say
whether the Government will be able to
hold Its ground against the multiplying
rebels, tho disconnected troops. and the
seditious navy. We shall not be surprised
at the success Of the rebels: but we cannot
answer the question. What next? The
fighting has been desultory and indecisive
ever since the rebels took the field in the
State OF Rio Grande do Sui last year. and
there has not been a battle Of any magni-
tude during the rebellion. We do not know
why Brazil should be unable to produce
statesman able to pacify the country.
Brazil and Argentina are by far the larg-
est, as they are the most powerful. OF the
South American republics. The other eight
are In peaceful state at this time. and only
Venezuela has been disturbed this year. 1t
is curious fact that there are not any
eigns of the coming Of war in any Of
them. though Peru Is on bad terms with
Chill. and Bolivia Is not on good terms with
any Of it's neighbors. and Venezuela has
hard experiences under the dictator.
CREspo. We must hope that those Of the
republics which are at peace will restrain
their belligerent passions as long as they
can. How blessed is that country which
enjoys peace with liberty!

Democracy, Not Mechanism.

The ticket nominated yesterday at Sara
toga is the ticket Of the Democratic party
In the greatest Democratic State In the
Union. The platform adopted yesterday
ut Saratoga Is the platform Of New York;
high-spirited and triumphant Democracy.
Here and there you will hear 1t said.
sometimes in a whisper. sometimes with a
sneer that what was done at Saratoga
represents not the will and deliberate choice
Of New York's seven hundred Thousand
Democratic voters. but merely the behests
Of two. three. four. or half a dozen individ-
uals, who hold the seven hundred thousand
in chains and abject submission.
This is the talk Of soreheads. Of traitors.
or OF political fools.
No machine was ever invented In politics
that could stiie or misrepresent the will OF
q majority Of the membership Of great
party. or puts an iron collar on even q
respectable minority Of that party.
The first requisite for political leader
ship in the Democratic organization is the
consent Of the led. The leaders Of to-day
lead with the consent Of the led. They are
leaders because they possess the admiration
and confidence of an overwhelming majority
OF the Democrats Of New York. That conf
dence Is based on the wisdom and glory Of
past achievements. and the expectation Of
similar results In the present and future.
Bywhat process Of political mechanism
conceivable to the human intellect can a
few odlous, unprinclpled. discredited. and
unworthy sohemers continue through a
long series Of years. mile-stoned with illus
trious victories. to terrorize and dominate
moro than half a million free American citi-
zens. and to register and enforce DEGREES
obnoxious to that vast multitude?
We have never heard a satisfactory an
swer to this question. We do not expect to
get one now.
Saratoga Is a vote Of confidence. Now
turn to and make 1t the prelude to new and
splendid success!

bursements had exceeded $160.0000o0.
When it is reflected that more than TWEEN
ty-eight years have passed since the close
OF the civil war, that hundreds OF thousands
OF those who survived 1t have since died.
that hundreds Of thousands also OF names
once borne on the pension rolls have been
dropped, the presence Of nearly a million
OF them still is startling comment on tho
legislation OF Congress.
But can we expect that ebb tide has at
last really set la We have, to begin with.

months. The new pension authorities think
that this Is n permanent movement, and
already calculate that in year the not de-
crease Mt this rate should oe 9.6St They
estimate that In that period 10000 names
will DO dropped from the rolls, and only

months for Washington Government clerks;
and 1t may be surmised that the pension
mill was not grinding out certificates then
Mt its usual rate. And again, point to re-
member Is that Commissioner RAUM. whose
exultant predictions Of pension increase
were apt to be too fatally accurate,
estimated that tho high water mark would
not be reached until the middle OF 1894. when
the names would number about l,2oo.oOO.
requiring an appropriation OF $lsS,oOO.ooO.
We must not yet count too much on
having reached the climax in the pension
business. We may yet see the names
reach a round million. But 1t may be as
sumed that the vigorous efforts OF the
present Commissioner to weed out fraudu-
lent cases are having an effect on the rolls.
II tho Fifty-third Congress refuses to enact
any general laws for pension increase. 1T

The sport which some newspapers are

cency and moral obligations. which entities

illogical match with any other savant.
He does not ask the multitude to attend his

Tho experience OF the old Nantucket
whaler who arrived home clean after three
years cruise was repeated by the Nalkyrie and
ViRilant yesterday in their attempt to sail a
race for the Americas Cup In the language
of the whalcrs skipper. his ship " didn't got
airy bar'l OF lie. but she had dam fine sail"
The yachts didn't make race and they didn't
provo very much as to the qualities Of either.
but they had lots OF fun. and the great major
ity Of spectators enjoyed delightful outing
on the high seas.
Tho best part OF it all was the exhibit OF sea-
manshp made by the crew Of the Valkyrie on
the race to the turn. In fluke Of the wind
and tide that caught the Viglant foul and
headed her back toward home these British
sailormen wore able to turn the shift so much
to their own advantage that they left the
white sloop hopelsssly In the rear.
1t is only fair to . sturdy opponent to add
that 1t was Valkyrie day In ono other respect.
When the wind came out OF the southwest and
both yachts had an equal share OF 1t. she
showed. II one may Judge by the time the
Vigilant lost in tho fiuke and the time between
the boats at the turn. that she had gained
good twelve minutes In a run Of twelve knots.
The contest was on the whole fiuke. but
the Valkyrie is a right good light-air boat. and
the sailors of the Vigilant must look alive now.
