Wisconsin- seems to be among the modest states in its views of sentation at the Columbian Expo&i* tion. The Milwaukee Sentinel says’ “It is just as well that Wisconsin does not combine with three other states for a general headquarters building at the worlds fair. With her small appropriation she would be able to call only about four shingles of the building her own. A tent of summer-resort proportions will be commensurate with the legislative interest in the fair.” Tdk readiness with which the Chinaman adapts himself to the position of defendant in an American court is admirable. An immigrant of another race, being arrested and confronted with a charge of any kind,Qwould be confused and might possibly-not make any defense, but the son of the Orient goes into the pocket of his baggy trousers, which is always well filled, engages a lawyer arid settles down to a fight as if he enjoyed itHe fights to the end, too. thriving on appeals and motions for a new trial, and often wiggles out of an apparently hopeless position by sheer force of litigious persistence.

TnE attempt of the Louisiana Lottery company to capture the Farmer’s Alliance in that state was a wretched failure. The company based its appeal to the state convention on the argument that as over 90 per cent of receipts of the lottery came from other states, Louisiana could lose nothing. But this did not weigh with the farmers. They do not believe they are driving money out of the state by opposing the lottery, for the reason that its existence gives Louisiana a bad name that keeps investors out, and in-" duces a mania for gambling that en geuders thriftlessness and shiftless ness among the people.

Tue widespread political turbnlenee in the Chinese empire is clearly ominous of a general uprising which may possibly involve the existence of the present dynasty. Multitudes among the working classes are rendered desperate by enforced idleness. The fiendish massacre of our missionaries was only one step in a revolution which aims at the extermination of the imperial family and the inauguration of a new government. In such a crisis it is the business of the western powers to act for tlyx protection of their own jntefests. Nothing has been doneribus far except by the American and —French consuls. England exhibits a suspicious apathy. Her old enemy, Russia, is running a Siberian railroad along the northern borders of India and China, a constant menace to both nations. Does the present forbearance of England imply a desire to make treaty relations with China which would enable her to hold Russia in check when the Czar the Celestial empire?

The proposal to pension the oman. cipated negroes is urged by the Hon. Frederick Douglas for a reason that on its face is not without plausibility. “The Nation," he says, “as a Nation, has sinned against the negro. It robbed him of the rewards labor during more than two hundred years, and its repentance will not be genuine and complete until, according to the measure of its ability, it shaH have made restitution. The argument sounds just and reasonable until it is remembered that the history of civilization has been the record of 'a'very slow and gradual evolution from barbarism, and that it is wrong to judge one generation by the ethical standard of a later generation. Each generation has to bear the burden of its own sins against such light as its own conscience affords it, and fortunately is not responsible for the sins of tire past. Until the millenium we shall have enough to do to grieve for our own individual sins and repent of them, instead of having the sins of our fathers imputed to us. Slavery and a belief in slavery has been a stage in civilization, a stage at which some nation* lingered over long, and that stage now in all civilized lands is passed forever. But it is absurd to claim that this age owes in actual justice an indemnity, not exacted by nature, for the >hnrety of the past, as it wou’u be to urge that we should all bo imprisoned to-day because our ancestors generally got drunk. Nature exacts her own vengeance for srueh antenatal crimes, and they ase gout and poverty and civil wi —N. Y. Bun.

Nearly all the old soldiers now to the National Soldiers’ Home at Milwaukee, who aro able to work, will be compelled to leave tho institution shortly. This is the result of the action taken recently by the National Board having charge of the veterans. The question of pensions will cut no figure, and all able-bodied men with or without pensions, will have to leave. The action of the National Board was caused by the. discovery that the National Homes all over the country ar s greatly overcrowded, and that many of the inmates were vigorous, hearty men, able to earn their own living. This was especially true of the home near Milwaukee. It. was decided to order a thorough medical examination of all the inmates ol the variqus of.th.ehome,-wJUi a view of reducing the numberof permanent inmates by having airable-bodirid men secure outside employment aud become independent of the home. The examination will toko some time, as there are now 1,940 regular inmates. ——— —— Ex-President U. S.

LATEST FROM CHILL

Btlinarrda's Money Captured—Minister Egan Criticised. The New York Herald of the 3d has the following dispatch from Valparaiso, Chili: One of Balmaceda’s most ardent supporters and closest friends Deputy Yerduga. was captured to-day at Talca, while he was making his way out of the country with the purpose, it is supposed, of joining his fleeing chief cither at Buenos AyrCs or in Europe. He was taken to Santiago and turned over to the authorities. He carried with him *300,0)0 in Chilian bank notes and *BOO,OOO in drafts on London. This, of course, was promptly conficated . by the representatives of the junta, Itwas at first supposed that Senor Yerduga had accompanied the late President in his flight over the mountains, but a sharp lookout was kept for him and the funds, nevertheless, and his capture followed. There Is little donbt that Balmaceda is making his way over the Andes through the south pass. It would be impossible to stop him now. Mr. Egan’s friends are doing their best to dispel the impression that he has acted offensively as a partisan|of thelatcgovornraent. One of them, an American named Spencer, is authority for the statement that it was largely due to Mr. Egan’s efforts that the President decided to turn over the government to General Baqucdano and give up the struggle. 1 This was done, according to Mr. Spencer’s story, in the face ofthe opposition of Balmaccdak ministers, who insisted that the victory ol the revolutionists at Placilla was not decisive and werodosirous of keeping up the ffght,despiteTliefalLofVaTparalsd; Be this as it may, the bitter feeling against Mr. Egan in particular,and Ameri cans in general, shows no sign of abatement. The Congressional leaders profess i.o be puzzled at the continued refusal ol the State Department at Washington to recognize the envoys at that capital, and are generally inclined to attribute the tardiness to ulterior motives, though just what these may be they do not say. There are vague rumors of fat contracts and nitrate beds in the air, but nothing definite is specified. No further news has been received from the mob-stricken town of Coronel. Your correspondent is assured, however, that the provincial government has taken steps which will result in the restoration of order there in a short time. It is altogether probable that it may require some fighting to get the rebellious soldiers and miners under subjection, and it is perfectly safe to say that the ring-leaders will be shot as sure as they are captured. Intcndc Walker-Marlinez has got the city government here in fair working order, and Valparaiso is gradually settling down into its ante-bellum state. The same is true of Santiago, w r hore the leaders of the government are now awaiting the arrival of their confereies before taking any action toward the formation of a government. A proclamation has been issued to the effect that any person who is harboring men who were officials under Balmaceda and who fail to give them up to the authorities will be shot. Word has just been received from Santiago that Balmaceda in his flight left his family behind. They are now being cared for by Senor Domingo Torrez, brother-in law of the fugitive President, but who is himself a strong supporter of the Congressionallsts. Many instances of the unreliability of the late government, so far as abiding by its promises is concerned, are coming constantly to One of the latest is the killing of a valuable herd of blooded cattle belonging to Senor Edwards. Balmaceda promised Minister Egan and Consul MeCreery last June that this herd should not be Interfered with, on tho ground that nearly all the improved cattle in Chili were bred from it. A dispatcli received to-day from Rancho Maillai says that on Aug. 23 an order from Balmaceda was presented, in accordance with which eighty nluo valuable imported cows were killed.

A REVOLTING EXECUTION.

Murderer Dragged to TTist Death Streaming with Blood. He Tried to Avoid the Gallows by Suicide— Is Dragged Shrieking to the Gallows. ~ Pleading for Delay—Diea.with Corses on His Ups. The history of the gallows tells no more hideous story than that of the execution of Louis Bulling, the St. Joseph wife murderer, at Savannah. Mo., on the 4th. Just before tho time fixed for the execution the doomed man shot himself in a vain effort to commit suicide, and finally died on the gallows, shrieking for-xnercy and cursing his executioners. Up to a few days ago Bulling» seemed cheerful and hopeful in the face of approaching death. He had twice before cheated the gallow s by jail breaking. He reasoned that that chance still remained, and to it might be added two mutation of sentence and suicide. One by one these chances faded away. Early last week it was learned that Bulling had planned to break jail the third time,-Steel -saws xvere-fonnd in WAeeli, and they were taken away from him. Perpetual guard was kept over him and all visitors were searched before being permitted to enter. All means of escape were cutoff. Then the doomed man sent for his father and mother apd pleaded with them to appeal to the Governor for a commutation of sentence. The faithful parents went to Jefferson City and had several personal interviews with Governor Francis, but he was firm in Ins determination not to interfere. Still the parents did not lose heart. They made another call on the Governor Friday aud pleaded for their son’s life. Tho Governor would not interfere. Then Mr. and Mrs. Bulling telegraphed their son the Governor’s decision and followed the message to Savannah. They had an affecting parting from tho doomed man Thursday night and never saw him again to lifa. When Buffing's second chance for life disappeared he broke down When he received from his parents the message that the .Governor was obdnrate he fainted and was with difficulty revived. Ho was a confirmed opium eator, and during the night was given largo doses of tile drug. It failed to have its accustomed effect, and the condemned murderer slept less than two hours during the entire night. The Rev. August Lavake, during Balling’s braking hours, spent the time in reading the Bible and praying, exhorting Bulling to confess his sins and receive baptism. Sheriff Barry had set the hour for the exocutiori at 10 a? m. When he went to the cell at 6 o’clock to prepare the doomed man for the scaffold, Bulling pleaded so pitifully for an extension of a few hours that the Sheriff yielded and gave him until 2 o’clock to live. Bulling ate a light breakfast and spent the rest of the time in pleading for mercy and attending to the religious exercises conducted by the Rev Mr. Lavake. fie still had a faint hope of a commutation, but at noon submitted to tho baptismal ceremony and received tho sacrament. When 2 o’clock arrived he renewed his supplications to the sheriff and pleaded - for one hour more.” He fell on his knees before tho sheriff and begged piteously for mercy. The sheriff granted his request. Then Bulling asked for brandy and the sheriff gave him a pint. Injections of morphine were administered, but neither of the drugs had much effect. The sheriff then retired, leaving tho murderer with Rev. Mr. Lavake, at the same timo removing tho guard from the cell door at Bnlling’s request to be left alone with his spiritual adviser. The silence of tho jail was broken only by the voice of tho priest, when suddenly two shots rang out. The sheriff ran to the cell. T,ho priest lay prostrate on the floor. A t his side lay— Bulling, weltering in hiflown blood; which flowed from wounds in his breast. He had shot himself twice with a revolver. The priest had fainted. A hasty examination of Buffing’s body showed that one of the bullets had entered the left breast and.< glancing from a rib, had passed abound his body and came out of his back. The other bullet had inflicted only a slight flesh wound in his left side. He had not lost consciousness, and when the sheriff ordered four deputies to carry him to tho scaffold he cursed and swore at them in a horrible way= —Thu deputies dragged the struggling man to toe court yard and lifted him upon the gallows. He refused to stand and they placed him on a chair. . rAs ho sat there he presented a revolting spectacle. Ho was dressed only In shirt and trousers. Ills hands and face were covered with blood, which stained his shirt, and bipod was streaming through his shoes, whence it had run from the wounds in his breast, and formed dark pools on the floor of the scaffold dripping thence to the ground beneath. He cursed and swore at the cried and screamed for mercy anu shrieked in his terror. The sheriff gave him a large glass of brandy and he swallowed it at one gulp. Finally he was told to get pp and stand upon the drop. He refused and four deputies held him up while the rope was being adlusted. The black cap was placed over his head* and yelling, screaming and blaspheming, he shot through the opening atexaetly 3:22 o’clock. His nock was broken by the fall and he died almost Instantly. -- The Rev. Mr. Lavake has been arrested for giving Bulling the revolver wlfh which he attempted tocommitsuicidc. Theßov. Mr. Lavake declines to be interviewed.
