The pretout cltv council must not bo Judged upon the few nets of lib meetings so fur held. Really ouly ono business session has been held and Hi" people of this city must not bo hasty In pnssltig judgment. Oil the one hand this council has been Influenced by tho complaints of people living along tho North Mill creek race. On the other baud the unanimous petltlou of our business interests bus taken sides with the milling company. A hasty judg ment of the city council upon this one matter should be avoided by our readers. The people aro all sorry to see the mills shut down. These mills have behind them an enor mous capltt). They aro part of a system of mills and warehouses that practically cover tho valley. The way capital is organized nowadays, no city like this can successfully carry on hostilities with it and not sufler. But tho peoplo of this city should not be hasty in condemning this council. At its lirst business session it is true it refused to consider nuy of the friendly overtures of the Milling Co. This syndicate, of which Mr. Wilcox is tho head, in tho past year iuvested $100,000 In rialem,"Btarted mills to running day and night that had been Idle for .nears, Invested $200,000 of cnpital in handling the raw material and out put of tho lulll, employed a force of skilled laborers to ruu the mill day and night, which now, owing to causes which It is believed by tho mass of Salem peoplo could havo been avoided, aro unemployed. Capital can lay idle easier than men. Men and their families must have broad and live. Tho city ftels tho blow of the mills stopping keenly, and the ond is not yet. Whoever is to blame, no hasty judgments should bo formed. The present council was elected upon pledges to advance Salem bu-lness Interests and Salem public Improve ments, There has hardly been time to determine what tho policy of tho council shall bo in these respects. Tho people of this city can havo but ono judgment to pas3 If tho council shall fall to meet their expectations on these two points, hut It Is hardly time to pass that judgment. At its last session tho council' granted two franchises to erect and establish lire-alarms, messenger and call-box systems. Theso corpora tions will set men to work putting up poles aud wires all over tho city. These favors will glvo somo employ ment aud the council is to bo com mended for Its liberal spirit hi favor ing all enterprises that glvo employ ment to labor or advauco our city's business Interests and gives our citi zens tho benefit of these modern in ventions. Tho same council will not strike down capital that Is seek ing investment at Salem. At least will not do so knowingly, aud peo ple should not be hasty in condemn ing its course. BIIALL TIIKK12 III! WAK ? The United States and Chili may havo n war. There are muny things conspiring to bring on that calamity. On tho other hand, nothing appears moro unlikely than that this nation of over sixty millions should havo a war with a nation of two or three million people seven thousand miles away. Yet It Is tho unexpected that happens, and u Chilian war Is not impossible. What favors tho calamity ? The United Stutes is ambitious to up build her navy and strengthen her standing among foreign powers. Nothing could Anther this ond more than a foreign war, A foreign war would glvo us a pretext for u navy, coast defences and a standing army that continuous peace will uovor juslity. Tho extension of commerce, the rule of the seust tho domluatlou of (lie North American continent, aro excuses for ambitious statesmen and designing politicians, and It is well known that President Harrison and Secretary of State Blalno aro strongly actuated by theso Ideas, und the president's mesxugo Is anxiously awaited. It Is also quite certain that tho killing of American sailors is an outrage Uwn the very Idea of our national existence. The time must aud will come when no country shall daro moh'St, or much less kill, un American citizen. The soouer our country is put In that attitude the better. The wxiner It is established that American citizens will bo pro tected by the runj.'flty and strength of this great nation, through tho armies of ltd government, and that a blow struck, or an outrage on one of its citizens by a foreign power will be ri'felsUvl aud resented, the ttter. The greatest obstacle to a war is the question whothur, after all the acts complulmd of, were not the act of an Irresponsible mob, which after complete investigation tho Chilian government will renounce. In uc of n war it doubtful if nuy American soldiers would ever be landed ou Chilian soil. With an army of nearly Blxly thousand men ready to take the Hold, it would be folly fur this government to send less than ono hundred thousand meu to Chill. Our navy could be sent to attaok her seaports and Chill could retaliate. All commerce between tho two countries woutd be at nn oud aud tho course of tho struggle would bo ditlloult to predi cate. Whether England and Ger many would becomo involved de pend upon wisdom or unwisdom of diplomatic management. The mes sage of the president and tho corre spondence alone can throw light on tho possibility of war. ANOTHER MOTOK LINK. The purchase of tho Salem street railway means the construction of another motor street railway in Salem. The indications aro that this will not bo an electrlo motor lino but a noiseless, smokeless steam motor, to tako tho placo of tho horse car line. It may tako Beveral months to bring this about, as tho property is still partially involved in litigation. But tho new com pany, at tho head of which Mr. Park hurst stnndi; has made all arrangements to put ou tho steam motors aud expend from 50,000 to $100,000 in developing tho presont plant iuto a lirst class system for city and suburban transportation. Tho importance of tho extension of theso street car ByttriuB to Salem cannot bo over estimated. Next to the development of our manufactur ing and commercial lutcrests, the building of btreet car systems for prompt, regular und rapid inter course between all parts of tho city, is of the greatest moment. Tho sure and steady growth of tho capi tal city aud tho popularity of thp modern motor lines mako this olasa of Investments, when once properly developed, of tho surest kind. Tholr successful establishment at Salem marks tho evolution of tho city from tho rural commuuity. Tho modern city is impossible without these improved motor lines and our city is to bo congratulated upon tho acquisition of another possible motor system. IOWA POLITICS. The Hepubllcaps of Iowa aro not making progress very fast towards redeeming that state from tho Dem ocratic party. Tho selection of Mr. Cumtniuts, of Des Moines, ono of a firm of corporation bosses, as chair man for the next state convention, tho appointment of Mr. MoDUl on tho interstate commorco commission, a C. B. & Q. attornoy who was refused reappointment on tho Iowa railroad commission by Governor Larrabec all theso aro signs that do not augur well for upbuilding tho party in Iowa. Tho prevalonco of certain policies in future will as certainly tend to keep Iowa in tho Democrallo ranks as tho same ten dencies in the past. Tho alienation of confidence among tho rural voters was at tho bottom of Iowa politics. How in Tills?

Mr George Nohn, at Dufur, re ports affairs in his vicinity in a very prospererous coudlttou. Cattle find abundant feed on tho hills, and fanners will commence spring plow ing in a few days. Parties from Sherman county say that the ground U cleur of snow, and south hillsides are tn from front. Farmers have begun plowing and a large area will be planted in grain If the present flue weather continues. Mm.

Baker City Blade: Major Olm stead has already received letters from different sections of this state and Idaho requesting to bo rep resented in in proposed regi ment of cavalry, for tho Chilian sorvice. Six companies have been tendered him and no doubt the regiment could bo filled lu a very few days. It is not likely that land troops will bo called into service for somo tlmo yet, but when tho call is ls8ued,cavalry troops will bo in groat demand, as the surfaco of tho Chilian country Is such that Infantry and artillery cannot do eflectlve campaign work.

AWAIT1NQ THE REPLY. Washington, Jan. 25. Tho state ment that an ultimatum h&4 been sent to the Uttlo republlo is now a recognized fact. President Harrison Is awaiting witk great Impatience Chili's response to our demand as to whether alio proposes apologising and making reparation for the Valporalsn affair. Thi demand was sont to Minister Egan Friday last In addition to the foregoing con ditions, it included a declaration that tho offensive Matta note should bo also disavowed. Minister Moult had a protracted Interview with Secretary Blaine aud it is under stood that bo had laid before tbe secretary Chile's position in the j matter. This report is rather un likely, Inasmuch as the administra tion expects to receive its Informa tion through Minister Egan, and not through Minister Montt. Color la given to this belief by tho aotion of Presldont Harrison, who sent a special messenger from tho White house over to Mr. Blaine's restdenee on Lafuyotto square at 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon to learn what Information that gentleman had received from Chili. He Was told that up to that time nothing of ma terial interest had arrived, and the presldont settled down to the con vlotlon that another day must necessarily elapse before he will be apprised of Chill's intentions, If Chill shall, through Mr. Egau, in form tho Harrison administration that It purposes giving ue the satis faction wo demand, aud stating speolflcallyjust what that satisfac tion will bo, aud how and when it will bo made, It is 'not likely that tho president will make tbe- Chilian correspondence public for the pre out at least, or that he will send hls special message to congress, Ou thoothor band, if Chill continues to pursue a shifting course both the message and tho correspondence will undoubtedly bo laid before con gress today, and the legislative branch of tho government will then bo expected to give tho administra tion tho boueflt of its advice and support. A PIKOB OP NONSENSE. New Yonic, Jan. 25.--The Her ald's Washington dispatch reassert that Chili has formally demanded tho withdrawal from Santiago of , Minister Egan. The dispatch adita that tho United States steamship Philadelphia, Admiral Gherardl'a flagship, which left the Barbados a few days ago, will bo heard from next lu or near tho straits of Gibral tar, her errand thero being to look out for tho formidable new Chilian war vessel, tho Capltau Pratt. It would take the Philadelphia about fourteen days to reach Gibraltar, and if in tho meantime congreas has recelycd such Information from tho president, or events have shaped themselves as to necessitate a decla ration of war, It Is easy to see tbe great strategic Importance of hay ing ono of our best ships on band at tho stalts of Gibraltar to Intercept tho cruiser, which forma the main reliance of tho Chilians, and which by common consent Is acknowledged to bo ono of the most powerful and formidable vessels afloat. The Capi tan Pratt Is now receiving her finish ing touakes at La Zinc, uearToulon, France, aud consequently muet pas) through the straits of Gibraltar be fore reaching the Atlantic. It has beeu stated by. Secretary Traoy that tho Capltan Pratt could not he completed or furnished aud equipped before April next While this is true, it Is also a fact that she could be made ready for depurturo from France in a partly iucoiuplftte ' condition in a very abort time, and If tho course of cveHt should reu-. der such baste desirable, It k likely that she would he dispatched from Toulon before entirely oompMed.
