On the other hand, a beneficent Providence compensated largely for thia disaster, for the year of the Valparaiso earthquake wag a year of the greatest progress and wel- WATSON’S WIIKLY JEFFERSONIAN. fare and the moat prosperous one an to business. “All of the Chilean exports prod ucts had a considerable rise in the world’s markets, and especially ni trate and copper reached, during the last few months, prices almost un known before.' Consequently, money has been flowing into the Chilean markets at a rate that the present sit uation, after the earthquake, is sueh that the demolished houses san be easily rebuilt with the ordinary re sources of the country. Furthermore the catastrophe of last August re vealed the soul of the country. Oa that occasion it was clearly to be seen that the Chileans form a well organ ized nation, not cowering on account of a disaster, not disheartened by a catastrophe or discouraged by ob stacles, nor surrendering to fate, but Ml ft - - Jar ■ r ■OF / z." / ■ 'MWPiiy MISS LUTIE GRESHAM, Os Point, Texas, Daugher of Hon.

All the Chilean national administrations, Sen or Artuza asserts, have been marked ’by the scrupulous honesty of public servants. Upon this point the book chronicles the following: “Never has a president of the re public or a minister of State been ac cused of conversion of funds. On the contrary, it often happens that presi dents retire from power in poverty, by reason of having neglected their private affairs during their adminis tration of the government. “During the civil war of 1890 the adminiztration devoted itself heartily to the task of military mobilization; the party which supported Preeideifc Balmaeede wae fafeaXW, aid whee the viators took possession of the capital, and of the government, there was not found in the archives of the governmen a single account, a single payment, which was not audited, nor one which could have been made, in the slightest degree, a reproach to the fallen administration. Furthermore, there was not a single high function ary who profited by the disorder to make his fortune. “The interest on foreign loans and obligations of the state have always been promptly met. It has bee* with Chilo a matter of pride never to de fault an contracts of any kind, not even in moments jf financial diffi culty. This is daily a matter of more importance among nations, especially now that it appears to be an estab lished point that the collection of debt may enter into the category of diplomatic negotiations.” Reviewing the administrative his tory of the country from the time of Portales, practically the founder of the nation, who may be termed the “Washington of Chile,” it is pointed out that many of the Chilean leaders present likenesses in character and strength of purpose to the foremost public men of the United States. An era of great national prosperity is predicted for the republic by Seuor Ortuzar, who comments thus upon the administration of President Pedro Montt, who was lately seated in office: “Supported by a really national party, President Montt was elected by an enormous majority. He broke the lines of the ancient historical partiez to form with theez a firm gov ernment body, from which the present administration derives its mush val nsd strength. “Thz sohnzl sad Mm nailways have been the chief preoccupation of the present executive during his long pub lic career, who, for thirty years, has been one of the most prominent men in Chile. First in the chamber of depubties, then in the senate, in the council of state, at different times secretary of state during the last five administrations, he distinguished him self always by his spirit of justice, his austerity and activity. Today, raised by a wave of popularity to the presidency of the republic, he can realize a vast program of work during hie government— a program which, however extensive and fraught with difficulties, will be successfully car ried out by the president, who is en dowed with two great qualities— method and perseverance. “The son of Manuel Montt, one of the most illustrious presidents of the Chilean republic (1851 to 1861), the President Montt of our daye found in bis father and in his home a school of austerity, work and meth od. ’ ’ —Constitution. • J^ 011 havc or pj|||C>7 know of a sufferer, If I If ll|\ W write for partku ,ars of our valu able remedy, which is guaranteed.
