THE SUICIDE OF 1IALMSCEOA.
The death of Balmareda by his own
liand rounds out to completion one of
the most extraordinary political dramas
which even Soutli America has furnished.
But it was a drama founded on the fa
miliar lines of a remarkably able and
popular President, too reluctant to lay
aside bis power at the end of ble term of
office, and seeking to prolong it by perl
lou* and fatal expedients. That Balma-
ceda did not attempt to orertbrow the
constitutional provision of ineligibility
to re-election after the prescribed term
of fire years is clear. But bis actions
suggested a desire fully to control his
successor, which was only a step less
than becoming dictator. It was a mel

At a meeting of the directors of the

it was with personal honesty, and per
lisps was partly tire fruit of self-deceit
as to his own value to tu , republic.
Born of a well-known and wealthy
family, well educated, a lino speaker,
and in every way endowed for political
life, he readied with comparative
rapidity the leadership of tho liberal or
progressive party. His rise was a con.
tinuous triumph, and his election to the
presidency in lt*S»J was achieved by e
great majority. It is a curious coinci
dence that his suicide took place on the
very morning after the expiration of his
term of office, which legally ended last
Friday, although be had been practically
deposed by his defeat at Piacilla. The
first three or four years of ilia term
showed him in a creditable ligbL Edu
cation, religious freedom, internal im-
provemeuts, and all material progress

that even when Ida later acts alarmed
congress and led to civil war, all foreign
powers except Bolivia, which had a
special interest to tho contrary, ahould

Charley Ector, committed to jail iaat

night by breaking a hole In the iron floor
of the upper cell large enough to squeeze
through into the room below and slip

were opened. There being no prisoners

enjoyed a wide popularity among his as

masses of his state. He has been in fail

death was not unexpected.

gressive and fearless; and now that the

in tho columns of the Journal.
Govkhnou Noiithen has vetoed an
other bill, this time a local one affect

the legislature should look out for a

his big double-action veto pen, and in

We shall never bear the last of Gen.

change her name from Miss Violet Sop-

with the following: “Sopwlth-Grnbb is

Vet the triumph of hia opponents, so
fur as can now lie seen, appears to be

WHERE ARE OUR MISSIONARIES?
It Is to be feared that there Is more
sentiment than sympathy on the part of
Americans for the oppressed It isslan
Jews.
We denounce the Czar, across the
ocean, and pity the unfortunate Jews;
and pass resolutions and *lgn petitions;
but when brought face to face with
actual conditions, sontlment vanishes;
and the “pure cusacdnesa" of human na
ture crops out.
Last week 000 operatives at Millville,
New Jersey, glass works went on a
strike, simply because they were deter
mined not tu work alongside uf opera-,
tors of the Hebrew race!
Commenting upon this proceeding The
Constitution expresses fully the senti
ment of all decent people when It says:
“It la impossible to write of this New
Jersey outrage without ‘condemning it
in unmeasured terms. ,Since the first
settlement of this country, and the es
tablishment of our republic, which was
designed to shelter and protect the op
pressed, the Jews have been among our
beat citixens. They have been the pil
lars of our commerce and Industry.
They have obeyed the laws, paid their
taxes, served the state and spent tbelr
blood and treasure for the common wel
fare.
No set of men in this country can pro
scribe such a race of people and expect
to be auatained by public opinion. We
are not ready yet to have a little Ratals
organized In America, not even in the
state of New Jersey.
The brutal conduot of the Millville
workingmen shows that active mis
sionary work la Imperatively needed In
that town. The strikers need a large
sized dose of Sam Jones, followed by a
little Instruction in the rudlmonts of the
Christian religion. If these mild
methods will not make them behave like
decent citizens, they should be discharg
ed by their employers and then prose
cuted for vagrancy
