In contrast with the election in Mex
leo, that in Chilli was hotly contested
and very exciting. and the results We're
for some time in doubt. The term there
is five years, and the retiring president.
Jorge Montt, whose term ends next
December, was constitutionally inelig!-
bic for second term. Nevertheless,
there are charges that the influence of
the administration was unfairly eX-
erted. The candidates were FREDERICK
Errazuriz, who was supported by the
Moderate Liberals and Conservatives.
and Vincente Reyes, the candidate of
the Extreme Liberals. The latest re-
ports give ErrazuriZ 145 electoral votes
and Reyes 1877, with three provinces to
hear from, which are not expected TO
overcome the majority for Errazuriz.

It should be a source of general re-
joicing that near the town of Hudson,
No, some enterprising people whose
names have been discreetly withheld
have in moment of leisure discovered
the largest cave in the world. The re-
port asserts that even ''if half of what
has been told of it is true" it is the
largest cave. so there is no reason to
doubt the accuracy of the statement.
But the cave is remarkable not only i'll
size but in interior decora tons, for the
faithful chronicler of the phenomenon
declares that cavern after cavern is
lined with pure onyx" and that there
are huge stalactites Of nearly pure gold.
Aside from the material value Of the
discovery it is probable it will have an
important bearing on the solution of
the financial problem in the State. No
object lesson could be more convincing
than a generous distribution of these
golden stalactites, and perhaps slab
Of onyx or two could be included as a
gift to every tourist. The accidental
discovery of the Largest cave in the
world" is an episode that any STATE
should be proud of, but when it IS
found to be full of gold and onyx as
we'll the affair rises to proportions that
are magnificent even for Missouri.
More details will be awaited with intnr-
est if the correspondent happens to
continue in a condition that will enable
him to sustain his narrative at the pres
ent high pitch of interest.

One of the largest retail dry goods
houses In New York city is considering
the ACCESSIBILITY Of starting school Of
it's own for it's cash girls, somewhat
after the system that is in operation in
several Of the large Chicago stores. In
Chicago it was found that the cash girls
employed in the big stores were glad Of
an opportunity to get an education and
earn a living at the same time. Most
of them are helping support a family.
and they could not afford to give up
their small salary and go to school.
Business does not begin in earnest in
these department stores much before
10 o'clock. Some of the girls attend
the school from half-past eight until
ten in the morning, and second divis-
ion receive instruction early in the
afternoon. These schools have been
found to make the cash girls more dill
gent in their work and give them ambi-
ton to improve themselves.

After ten years trial of a Sunday law
in New Orleans, it has been decided to
abandon it as impracticable. During
these ten years, however, the law has
been enforced only three months, and
that spasmodically, a couple of Sun
DAYS at the time The city officials
have testified unanimously against the
law, saving that it took the entire po-
lice force to support it, and that In the
criminal courts the murder and other
more important cases have been crowd
ed from the docket by the immense
number of Sunday law violations. A

Many grain farmers who keep cows
nut them in the barnyard over night,
where at this time of year and little
later the yards are apt to be filled with
s huge stack of newly thrashed straw.
Most farmers think the cows will not
eat the straw unless it is good for them.
but as they generally notice about this
time a great shrinkage of milk a good
many of them have got in the habit Of
putting the two facts together and
drawing their own conclusions. Cows
are for change very fond of newly
thrashed straw, and as it is dry feed
and not very nutritious, it cannot do
other than decrease the milk yield. The
part of the stack that the cows will go
for is that under the carrier and con-
sisting very largely of chaff from the
grain head. This is more nutritious
than the straw nearer the root. be-
cause it contains some of the nutrition
nearest the grain. and that is last to
dry I'D and change to woody matter.

The Volunteer Army has reached the
point where the stability and success
of the new organization seem assured.
The partial details of it's growth in this
time were given to the public in spe
cial united rally of the forces of the
Northwest, and the statement then
made by Col. Fielding. the head of the
Western contingent, must be gratifying
to the hosts of friends Of the plucky
little band. When the new movement
was started as an independent and
strictly American body the headquar-
ters in Chicago consisted of a small
room, one chair and one table, all do
mated. Now it is announced that nego-
tiations practically have been COM
pleted by which the Volunteers will OBJ
tain possession of a building on State
street consisting Of twenty-siX living
rooms and a fitting equipment, and be-
sides this two city lots, valued at $10,-
600, have been presented to the army
by Miss Julia DAILY This material pros
perity has complemented a rapid and
large numerical growth, for Col. Field
ing reports that the army now includes
nearly 1000 members, scattered among
100 posts, of which forty-seven are in
the Northwest. In Illinois alone there
are twenty-five organized posts and 1876
commissioned officers. In New York
the army has a fine building on Union
Square, from which it publishes its
weekly and monthly literature. The
striking feature of this conspicuous sue
cess is that it does not appear to have
been achieved at the expense of the
parent organization. A few of the
leaders who were closely allied with
Ballington Booth are known to have
left the Salvation army with him, but
in most of the cases the recruits have
come from the outside. There seems
no doubt there is room for both armies.
and perhaps. the rule of competition
that is so effective in business may
have similar results in these religious
associations. and stimulate each to
greater endeavor and bring to each
a richer harvest than it would have en-
joyed alone.
