Now, it is a well-established fact that in aw there are three divisions or departments n making and controlling law. The governor has a perfect right to consent or dissent as chooses. But the legislature, which is he olds his signature, it must necessarily fol- 0w, that, politically speaking, he bears the consequence of what the public may think of nis official acts. And when you take the public pross to try and say that a party of g of a state passed a law fulhilling a command_made by the people, simply for political effect, is too thin to hold wates It s much easier to ask o few questions and ur a conclusion than 1t is to write out a A make them conform ut it sounds vo hower to the will of the peopl, democratic party and then turn around and Clay Cente Inasmuch won sminentiy proper that Tie Be Mr. Elder and place him in his true ight before the state. it In doing so we ly regret that we cannot hold My, 18 cause 1o feol proud.

In other words, can Speaker Elder or any other independent explain why the legislature adjourned without prohibiting passes or reducing either freight passenger rates? Why did they choke off the usury bills, and why did they fail to en any law by which the people are protected from imposition and outrageous ox tions by the various monopolies thut are taking millions aanually out of thostate without adequate returns?

The disastrous financial experience of the Argentine republic may bring some benelit to the silver producing interest of the United States, It is reported that the Argentine government having found it impracticable to restore the currehcy of the country to the gotd standard has determined to establish o silvor basis, It this is the case, and it {5 altogother probable, it will very likely create a considerable additional demand for American silvor, for it isto be supposed that the required supply will be sought for in this country if it can be obtained he There is no data at hand to show at amount of silver the Argen- tine vepublic will need to replace its depreciated paper, but it must be very considerable. The question natur- ly suggests itself whether the United States is in a position to supply it, and the obvious answer would seem to be that it cannot do so unless there is a con- siderable increase in the production, The amount required under the law to be purchased annually by our own tr ury department, leaves a very small sur- plus, hardly sufficient to meet the ¢ mand for othor uses, and as our pro- ducers would doubtless prefer to sell to their own government the Argentine republic will have to look elsewhere for its silver supply unless this country pro- duces more than at present, 18- Of course an increased demand would stimulate production. This has been shown since the last silver law was passed. But how much of an increase can be made it is impossible to 3 Undoubtedly the maximum limit of pro- duction has not been veached, nor is it probable that the silver tervitory is all being worked., The certainty in the matter is, that if the Argentine govern- ment comes into the market with a de- mand fora lurge and constant supply of sitver the prico will advance, and this must happen whether the silver is sup- plied from this country or obtained else- where, hould the offect bo to estab- lish a parity between silver and gold with & reasonable probability of it being maintained, the solution of tho silver question would be reached and the cry for free coinage in this country would subside. This possibility gives interest to the reported financial depart- ure of the Argentine republic, but un- fortunately the complicated state of affairs in that country and the foreign influences that control there warrant a doubt whether the government can carry out any financial policy it may propose. — THE POSTOFFICE BU LDING, It is now stated that the supervising architect of the treasury department is drawing plans for the new postoffice building with a view to placing the structure flush against Sixteenth street, thus making Seventeenth street face the backyard. The square is 240x264 feet, the long fronts being on Capitol avenuo and Dodge. The proposed building is 20x200. It will be observed that front- ing on Sixteenth street will leave but 20 feet between the north and south ends and the two streets respectively, while there will be 184 feet between Seven- teenth street and the west wall of the proposed building, This will waste the block for less than half of it will he occupied and the whole purpose of securing an entire square will be nullified. The building should either stand in the centre of the square with the length toward the north and south ends of the block or toward Sixteenth and Seventeenth. In the future when required, wings can be added and the general beauty of both grounds and buildings will not suffer, whereas if the proposed scheme is car- ried out the parking which ought to to be and is contemplated will not be seen at ail from Sixteenth street. The square is very low and must bo piled before the building is erccted. The farther west the building stands the better will be the foundation. It can Just us well bo an ornament to the city as otherwise. If placed in the centre of the block with fronts on both Capitol avenue and Dodge street, there will be 70 feet on ecither side for parking and oroawmentation. When wings are added, supposing them to be 100 by 60 on each side, there will still be four corner parks each §: The public buildings and grounds will always be handsome if this course is followed, but if the plan as now proposed be adopted no one will be benefited and the harmony of the whole structure will be ruined. THE Brg hopes the delegation in congress and all concerned will not permit the present proposed scheme for erecting an enormous stone house with an ugly back yard to be consummat Neither citizens nor the government contemplate giving Sixteenth street all the business benefits of the new postoffice, but the plan suggested will not interfere in the least with this idea which prevails among some property owners on that thoroughfare, It will beautify and im- prove the four streets surrounding the postoffice square and injure none, THE new amendments to the Maine liquor law, intended to givo it greater stringency, went into effect on the first of the present month, and are alres iy meeting with a vigorous protest.

A BLUNDER OR SOMETHING WORSE. Tt is announced that Mr. E. C. Carnes of Seward has heen appointed state oil inspector by Governor Thayor. act by Governor Thayer could have scandal- ized the republican party more than the appointment of Carnes to any josition of honor, profit or trust. Carnes has for years prostituted him- solf and disgraced the party by acting as a political procurer and legis- lative oil room lobbyist. He has made merchandise of his influence and gambled in legislative options on meas- ures thut wore ponding. Nothing has flocted more seriousty upon the su- preme court, and particularly upon Judge Norval, than the fact that this notorious lobbyist at vavious staces of the Thaye contest boldly and openly offe upon the outcome and virtually proclaimed that he had a string tied to Judge Norval that he could pull at his pleasure, It is an open secret that Carnes had no logitimato business at the capital during the late session of the legisla- ture, and his sumptuous living at the Lincoln hotel must have either been gotten out of the corporations, at the gaming table, or is he going to recoup himself out of the perquisites of the oil irspecting business? It Governor Thayer is under any obli gations to Carnes for services rendered or influence exerted he should have paid him out of his own pocket, but whoen he appoints such a disreputable person to a position that ought to be filled by a man of unbending integrity he gives proof more potent than holy w of a bargain of which his worst enemies searcely would believe him guilty, and stultifies himself before all reputabl citizens. Tne selection of Carnes only emphasizes the current opinion that the iled inspection of oils is simply carvied on for the benefit of boodlers who are fornging upon the Standard oil monopoly while at the samo time play- ing into its hands.

The doparture of the Itala Was 1ot unexpected, though it was not sup- posed she would leave so soon as she did Marshal Gard was not aware that the captain of the Italia had any intention of disregarding his authority for he left for Point Loma in a launch fust an hour ahead of the steamer and had passed the point and proceeded some distance out to sea before he could hiave been aware that the [tala was fol- lowing him. The marshal's errand on his second trip was to take the schooner Kobort and Minnie anywhere she might be found in open sea outside of Mexican Jurisdiction as o piratical craft, “There has at no time boen any real doubt in the minds of those best informed that the anmunition which the Robort_and Minnie wried was intended for the Chilian trans. port and that it would bo transferred to the Itala for the use of tho insurgents as soon as tho steamer obtained what supplies uveedea in port. ‘The Chilians laid their y L and they were carried out to the letter, ardloss of the interforence of the United tes authortics. Just after midnight this (Thursday) morn- ing Marshal Gard and party returned from the outside and reported that the schooner Rovert und Minnie had completely disap. pearod. The deputy marshal who had been placed on a small boat at the entrance to the harbor to watch developments reported that when the Ttala started Pilot Dill was sand wiched between two armed Chilians, while four cannons guarded the bow and stern of the steamer. Ho repoits that at | Chilians were dreawn up in line on the decks, showing that the vessel while in port had been plentifully supplied with men, arms and ammunition. ‘The deputy reports that when the steamer left the harbor she steamed uorth toward Sau Clementa. ast eighty tending Forces. 7.—The rumors aoout the two New York firms interested 1n the Chilian trouble have now taien definite shape by the naming of the firm of W. B, Co.and of C. B. Flint & Co. as the commereial houses who are backing the op posing sides in the Chilian insurrection. Grace sustained the revolutionary or con- gressional party in Chili, which contends tuat President Balmaceda is holding power by asubversion of the constitution. Flint threw his wfluence to the side of the existing Backing the € WaASHINGTON, My government. It is stated that Flint & Co sent some time azo two large consignments of arms to Balmaceda. There were 250 cases of vifles and 750 cases of cartridges in each consignmeat. Tnere have also been shipments of arms on an extensive scale by friends of the other faction. All kinds of complicated questions of nentrality are said o be involved. Grace & Co. has branch bouses for the purchase and sale of general merchandise at Lima, Calla, Valparaiso, Guayaquil and San Francisco. 1t is the fiscal agent of the Peruvian government. During the war between Peru and Chili it took an active share on the side of the for- mer, furnishing the government with arms and other weapous. When the Chilians en- tered Lima the agents of the victorious gov- ernment, desiring to wreak special ven- geance on the Girnces, destroyed their pro- erty wherever it could be foind. The firm brought claims against Chili amounting to £2,000,000, which were allowed by the intor- nutional commission. Chili refused to pa on the ground that the Graces had given aid to the enemy. This was the beginuing of the enmity betweou this powerful house and the party then in power and now represented by Balmaceda. The stations of the house were in charge of John ace, a member of the firm who represents its interests in Chiii.and he fought hard to obtain recognition of his judgment from the present Chilian adminis- tration. The Graces have hada valuable ally in Chilf in the persor of one Richard Trambull, an American by descert but a Chilian by birth, a member of the Chilian congre sharp, shrewd, successful lawyer, whose in- fluence and aid have been cast with the in- surgents. He comes of good American stock. His grandfather was the famous revolution- ist Jonathan Trumbull of Connecticut, and his ~ father was the first Protes- tant minists 0 settle in Chili. Last Jauuary he came to- Now York and spentsome months in this country opeuly acting as the agent of the insurgents He mado his headquarters with Grace, with whom, it is alleged, he bad commercial rela- tions in Valparaiso. When last heard of he was in San Fraucisco not over a week ago, and thero is reason to suppose he was not there for pleasure. He is supposed to have bought arms from or through the house of Grace, shipped them to San Francisco and there ' loaded them upon a vessel which he ran down the coast a short distance, where ho was to be met by an insurgent man-of- war, to which they were to be transforred. In the meantime Mr. Flint had not been in- active, He was here lust Sunday and had an all-day conference with the Chilian minister, nor Lasczano, Tuesday morning a dis- atch came east to the effect that a Chilian vessel had put into Wilmington, Cal., iaden, it was said, with rifles, The minister at onco asked the secretary of the treasury that his agents on the coast be instructed to ex- amine the craft. Orders to that effect re- sulted in the efforts put forth at San Diogo to capture the suspicious craft. What Flint Says. W York, May 7.—Charles B. Flint, head of the South American shipping house of Charles B, Flint & Co., smiled yesterday when asked if it were true that his firm and thatof W. R. Grace & Co. were interested in proionging the Chilian revolution. “No, smd M. Flint, “that story is not true so far s our house is concerned. We areuot in it. I don't velicve there is any foundation for the roport that any commer cial house is interested in prolonging the re olution 1 Chili. Itis of course to the iuter est of every house having business with the Chilian ports that the disturbance should be over as s00n as possible," “How about the shipments of arms which r house i id to have made ! don’t care to discuss my private affaies in the newspapers, I I have made any such shipments it is a matter of private business ‘The constitutional government of Chili is on friendl us with the United States, and it is perfectly in order for any commercial house to make shipments to any recoguized al any vessel was to bo s constitutional government. OFf course, if it out with arms for the insurgents they would have been recog- nized as belligerents It woula be a violation of the neutrality laws, buta shipment of arms to a constitutional government 15 just @s lawful as a shipment of provisions.” No Hope for Peace, VaLpiRatso, May 7.—President Balmaceda has rojected the demands of tho delegutes from the insurgonts who have been trying to come to somo uuderstanding by which the civil war might be terminated. There is therefore a complete rupture in tho peace ne- gotiations, and it would appear that the strug glo will have to continue until one side or the other is completely crushed.
