CURRENT COMMENT.

Chili Sauce. Chill is a country we can lick, and we don’t take any insulting remarks from her. —Kansas City Journal. Unless prompt reparation is made Chili may discover her mistake only when it is too lato. Bostdh Traveler. Chili can hardly refuse to recognise tho extent of the grievanc e or the justice of the demand.—New York Herald. Chili is respectful y informed that the past me of stabbing defenseless Americans cannot proieod unrebuked.—Troy Times. If Chili should get into a brush with tho United States she will lose something more than her nitrate bods.—South Bend Tribune. It is for tho Chilians to dec’dc as t<* tho next step. Full apology and smut reparation will remove every difficulty.. —New York Press. If tho United States had a stronger navy the insults to the flag by Chilf would not ha e been perpetrated.—St. Louis Globe Democrat. Every patriotic citi ei, of whatever •party school, will, h artily susta n tho administration in demanding reparation, from Chili.—lndianapolis Sentinel. Chili may yet have to be chastised by the United States. This bumptious little country is getting too big for its clothes.—St Louis Clobe-Domocrat. Now that the wrong has been suffered, all parties here will agree that theWashingtor authorities shall firmly insist upon reparation and at any cost.— Montgomery Advertisor. The Unitod States in is in duty bound to show the sma lest or tho greatest | ower in the Western Hemisphere that it will not submit to insuit or be tiiflcd with.—Minneapolis Journal. Uncle Sam is spoiling f r a fight with Chili. Uncle Sam might have had a row with England several months ago. but preferred to refer the dispute to the diplomats. But, then, England is a bigger man than Chili.—Kansas City Star. Chili should be compel ed to apologize, of course, for the maltreatment of our sailors, and reparation should be madeto the relatives of those murdered, but this great nation can afford to be patient and considerate until the new government is lairly organized.—Omaha Bee.

Indicted Beauregard. General Beauregard says he lias nothing to do with the La S. L.; nothing, that is, except “superintend drawings.” The General draws it pretty fine.— Wheeling Begister. General Beauregaid’s indictment and arrest for aiding and abetting the violation of the laws against otter es is logical and praiseworthy.—New York Commercial Advertiser. General Beauregard still keeps up his lottery connection, and now a warrant is out cha ging him and other otncials with violating the postal laws.—Brooklyn Times. General Beauregard can see “no impropriety, much less a (rime,"in the Louisiana lottery, because it is “a recognized institution of tho State, upheld by its Jaws and conducted by the first citizens of New Orleans. ” The General appears to regard State laws assuperKr, not only to national ones, but to tho moral law as well —Philadelphia Inquirer. With a swell'ng air he proc'aims that his duties were only to see that the drawings were fair, and he threatens to make it warm for those wlio testified against him. Beanregaitd may talk big, but be will have difficulty in convincing anybody that he hasn't been acting as a. stool-pigeon for the greatest swindle of modern times. —LafayUte Journal Starving Russia. Recent rains in Southern Russia make the prospects there good for crops next year. But how to live until then is the painful cuestion with the people of thatvast section. —Detroit Tribune. Poor Russia! If she can survive her present woes without a revolt that will overthrow her despotic throne, who shall say that there is a limit to human endurance?—Kansas City Times. The generosity of the Czar of Russia in donating J,500,000 rubles for the relief of the starving Russian peasantry naturally provokes the question where the money came from.—Pittsburg Dispatch. With 20,000,000 Russians beginning a course of starvation, the French loan of $100,000,0 0 might be turned to better account in buying food from us than rifles from tho lender.—New York Advertiser. With 20,000,000 of people starving, Russia should stop talking of war and try to buy food for the sunerers. This country has plenty to spare, and the Czar has revenues that can be devoted ■to the humane work.—Kansas City Journal. Women in the Pulpit. Women win men to pretty much everything else Why shouldn’t they win them to faith and goodne s.—New York World. The Methodist Council seems, on the vvrftoe, to look favorably on the plan of a! owing women to preach. Rut if the ladies get into the pulpit what will be about the average length of the Sunday sermon? —Louisville Commercial. !Now that all the preachers are men, the proportion of women In their congregations Is overwhelming. If th% women take the pulpit will the men take the pew? It would be a goodly sight to see all our young men attending church on a Sunday.—Louisville Post. The Methodist Council at Washington is out of date in looking to St Paul to afford data for settling the right of women to equal church privileges, including the pulpit Paul may have been right in his time, but the women of today are not the kind he knew and dis- • liked.—St. Paul Globe. Will Write a Book. Considering the part that Mrs. Parnell had in the division of the Irish party, her proposal to write a book does not seem in the interests of harmony.— Detroit Free Press. It looks very much as If we were in for a hard winter. The weather prophets threaten us with a number of killing blizzards, and besides this comes the announcement that Mrs. C. S. Parnell is going to publish a book giving her side of the celebrated O’Shea divorce case. Cincinnati Enquirer. If the cable announcement be true that Mrs Parnell intends to write a memoir of her husband, the late “uncrowned king,” and in it explain many t lings which are now distorted or misund srstood. tho volume may prove to be ope of the important books of the dying c intury.— New York Recorder. The Open Switch. The open switch is filling the offire of tlte deadly car stove during the latter’s vacation—Topeka Capital A system of track patrolling by trained men to look after all such defects would of course prevent all accident.—Columbus Journal. |lf ever lynch law is excusable it is when applied to the man who deliberate) jr wrecks a railroad trala— Philadelphia Inquirer "'**'**
