Then It was all htuttle and the feeling1 wiw deekledlv piimKMoiis. Now, the departments are comparatively deserted, aiul it is felt that the jHxihility of wr is very remote. Tuesday the eorridors and ante-room were filled with statesmen ad diplomats; yesterday there was Hot enough around to prevent the place from wearing an almost deserted look. Of news there was absolutely none, xltkough something was promised from the Mate department later in ihe day, while rumor were almost as .scarce. Senator All wo, of the appropriations committee, Representative IahIo, of kotise naral committee, ami Representative Itrewer, of North Carolina, were Secretary Tracy's visitors lefore the oahuiot met, while Secretary Maine lial none at all atdde from the department officials. It is generally understood about the state department that on cabinet days the secretary will ao one, except by previous engagement, so that casual callers on these days are infrequent. t Around the navy department it was hinted that the cause of the sudden sul,idence of the war talk was due to the fact that congress 0011UI not be depended on for supplying the necessary funds to carry on a campaign aga!nt Chili, that, in fact, it probably would not give its consent to the declaration of hostilities against that country. What authority existed for this opinion wa not stated it warned to be in the air, but was more substantial than mere tm. Sentiment in the state department credited the peaceful condition of tilings to the in Alienee of English intcroU'tn Chili, which tin a business way nrc paramount. It was sakl that the Chilian authorities would 1m; told plainly that Hnglana would net suffer them to jeopardise the property of its subjects in Chili, and the late conquered territory of Peru, as a conflict with tke United States oertainly could do. and that therefore, an amicable understanding must be reached with this government, la thisconnection.the visit of air Julian I'auncefote, the llritish minister to Mr. Illaine, which immediately preceded the lengthy conference between the secretary and Minister Montt, Tuesday, is regarded as significant The cabinet meeUng yesterday, at which all mcmticrs were present except Secretary Klkins. was unusually large, and it is understood that Chilian affairs formed the principal topic of discussion. If any change of policy or view occurred in the light of latest information from Valparaiso, it has not trans pired. WORK ON THE WAR SHIPS.

WAfiHt.VflTo.Y, I)ec, . -There is excellent authority for the statement that orders have gone from the navy depiii tmcr.t to the builders of tin Monterey to work night and day on that Tcysel and to get her ready for service at the earliest possible moment. This will, it is hoped, be before February IS. Her two 12-inch guns which, by the way, will be the largest rifle cannpn upon any vessel in the navy, will be eat to her without the usual number of proof rounds being tred. The guns are now at the Indian Head proving ft rounds, and orders have just been batted to prepare them for shipment to San Francisco. The Uethlehem iron works and tke Carnegie ic I'hlpps Co. have been urged to hnrry Hp the armor for the Monterey and have replied, to the great relief of the department, they are tiow ready to legin shipping them. A large quantity of ammunition for rapid firing has just been contracted for. Still another important move is the step just taken to secure the early delivery of thirty Ilowell torpedoes. Tke llrot torpedo of this invention waa successfully tried a few weeks ago. It wan immediately accepted, and the contractor was not only urged, but given the assistance of officers of the department to hurry ap work on the remainder, lty the extra impetus given the work the completion of torpedoes will follow withir. a few weeks. They are bow alioHt 90 per cent finished. They will be shipped at once to the San Pranclico. Charleston. Itoston, Yorktown, Ilennington. Philadelphia, Newark and Concord.

THE NATiP' BURDEN.

thtfcWth ef KtC (fader Melint. The wteml important bvrian attached t tke department of MnHhterior m tin pension bureau which expend nearly, half tke revenue of the gorernute& or vexation to th Umrelttrafton and discredit to the peonle. Its importance jnstjticd the expectstfe that in kis anwould diM-uss iUi affairs with grwat frankness ami thoroughness. The report duappoinU that expectation, for out of a volume of 170 pagea barely ten are eeroWd te tkarparwn department and these ar so colorless that coaeludkms front them ana be eettntsted only by the aid of other reports. The one simple) faeC'hewerer, that stands out above mil others, is the statemeat that f H5,eO,e0 will he required to pay pensions during tha next fiscal year, and that ihfrrea'fter aa annual appropriation, of f MI3.00O.O4S) will be required for sevens! years, until death shall reduce these, draft oa the treasury. The secretary's report is the fullest cbniirmatUm of the fear expressed by the democratic newspapers and democratic eonffrawwHnen that the pauper pension bill, as the republican Buffalo Kxpresn aptly termed it, would involve the country in an outlay of El.'.a.Ooa.OOO for pensions annually. The secretary of the interior is evidently afraid of the eonsqeaee of his oWn " confession, for we notice that in the neat and convenient summary he has caused to be prepared for tUe press this ; most Important fact in the entire report ; has been omitted. Of course, it cannot bo snporesAed. The uncheckl rrovth of nendon i appropriations cannot mnch longer be tolt rated unless the people are prepared to mortgage the country which was savetl to the pensioners. Just after the close of the war ia IS the pension appro rij.tion amonnted to 5r.lW0.00. In IS 70. ten vears later. they amounted to S.SOO.OOO; in ISM they had risen to &,0OO,QOO; in 1S6 they had mounted again to 9&,tMd,tNJ0, ami three, years from that time the department estimate require double that enormous amount. The amount we are aUel to spend on pensions is "to be more next year, aceonltnjr to Secretary Noble's report, than the entire cost of government for any two years before the war. The appropriation asked for is nearly half tke expense ef maintaining in tke field during the trying year of 1 SC. 1 all the uaion armies. And according to the report, furthermore, the facts contradict tHe hopes expressed hv the secretary. There are already over 6X000 pensioners. nd 500, 000 others are wnttmg to have their elahns passed upon, while 400,990 of those who already draw pensions are seeking inThe patent truth is that, as now ad ministered, the pension svsteaa is the opportunity for claim agents to debase patriotism by calling upon every man who served in the war, if oalr for a few days, to make a demand on the treasury for a gratuity. The tary's estimate ousrht not to surprise th.: American people. President Cleve land's course tows.nl pensioners, one of the most eoarareos and patriotic step in hU administration, was made the object of a successful partisan attack by public plunderers at Washington, and they have availed themselves of the chance their victory gave them. The claim agent, under Harrison's administration, have i tier eased from 39.WO.000 to ilW.OOO.OOO the annual apnropriatlon for penshms, and Corporal Tanner ha been splendidly vindicated, Albany Arfru. ELKINS' APPOINTMENT. HarrMen'i Little Nohrm t Meae OCtfce Man frM Malwe. Stephen It. Klkins, whom tke president has named for the war portfolio, is a shrewd, active and unscrupulous politician, who was oeee district attorney of New -Mexico, where he did not acquire a eaviaWe name. In MMU he was one of tke chief factors in procuring the amhiatiiHi of Jaene G. Illaine, with whom he bat business relations in West Virjriaia in eoal lands and railroads. With good reason be has been accounted a political aa well as a personal friend of Blaine. His record ami associations are not sack aa would recommend him to a preside at siaeerely desirous of making a creditable administration. If this were Harrison's second term he wonld aot probably thus fill a vaesvny in one of the executive offices. It tat a nominating convention is to 'be Held within six months to which Harrison's claims will lie submitted, and he ia making appointments solely with reference to that interesting occasion. Two views may "be taken of this aecnliar appointment. One surest that Harrison is doing what he can to alienate the friends of Blaine. Ihe other ami the most plausible view is that a perfect understanding exists between the president and tlie secretary of state that the latter is eontrolling opposition to renomination of the former in otder at the effective moeneat to give Harrison the support which will procure his re nomination. There was a time in Mr. Blaine's political career when he was audacious. It is possible that with the defeat of 'S4. the advance of years, ami the ravage of disease he has lost this qtwlity. ' He would be a bold aad confident man if he f would again essar the verdict of twelve million American electors.

Cktesgw Ti A SCANPALCHJ 'ACT. The Aypolntiwwtt r a KeasWIeaH Mr. II arrison's nomination of Steve Elkins for secretary of war is a publte seaadaL ami if there had -been sense of decency enough in the republican party to control, the senate, the nomination would have been rejected. It is of ttm Brraed that a president is entitled to select his cabinet members regardless of their character, as they an' his. "confidential alviers" and really his private secretaries. But they are also heads of departments, ami they should not be exempt from tests of fitness which apply to oth?r ia the department service. The notorious unfitness of a .cabinet officer nominated by the president ought to insure the rejection of the nomination, regardless of tke ulterior and private purposes the prestdeat may have had in the premises. When a scandalous nomination k made, to the senate it is the senate's duty to reject It. No one in tha aeaato eaa conscientiously deny that the nomination of Elkins k sesadaleas. He is one of the most desperate adventurers in the country. No other man in the country combines so thoroughly the attributes ' of the political and financial freebooter. Ilk eonneetion with the land rings and land i grabs of New Mexico is notorious. He has operated In politics as a means of promoting the most doabtfnl enterprises that originate in Wall street. His underhanded connection witk the sealskin monopoly is ia itself sufficient cause for his rejection, but it ia only a single item in a long account He stands with Quay, Dudley and Wanamaker for all that is wornt ia republican politics. It is not merely that he isava offensive partisan, but it is notoriously true that he is mora a freebooter than a partisan. A more shameful nomination eoukl not have been made. He ought by all means to be rejeeted. St Louis Republic PARAGRAPHIC POINTERS. With Steve Klkins in the cabinet, all that will be needed to make it an artistic whole are pi see for Quay aad Dudley.

To-day it has an honored place in every city and country store, possesses one of the largest manufacturing plants in the country and sells everywhere. Why is this ? The reason is as simple as a child's thought It is honest, does one thing, and does it right along it cures Dyspepsia. G. G. GREEX. Sele Maa'fr.Wesdfcsry.X.J.
