Furthermore the general public have not been invited to send servants who though deserving am without characters and most of them are so-to the office in order that their status as respectable members of society may be certified by the manager of our latest enterprise. The office ir, therefore, practically valueless. If the officer In charge were in touch with the police; If, 100, every servant engaged from the office had a photo attached to his credentials, and if the manager would, for a mederate sum, say a couple of doll rs, Inquire into the antecedents of any ser- vant sent to him, then the Registry Office would be of real use sind might be very generally patronised, and result in a number of swell light-fingered gentry taking flight to fresh fields and pares now.

While the authorities at Washington have been, wrestling with the possibility of war with Chili there is gathering very much nearer a war cloud which may prove even more, serious than tho Chilian matter. The Garza rebellion, which has thrown the section on both sides of the Mexican border into such a fever of excitement during the past few weeks, is fast assuming grave pro- portions. The United States troops which were sent to protect our territory from being made the base of hostile operations agalast friendly country, have met with resistance from Gassa's band and one soldier has been killed. Al- though but meagre intelligence has been received from the seat of trouble for some days, enough is known to make it certain that the small force of regular troops in the disturbed section is in aclve pursuit of the outlaws, hat as Garza's followers greatly outnumber the soldiers and are believed to be in a very desperate mood, It is fast possible that the troops are in a much more perilous position than are the revolutionists.

SAN FRANCISCO, January 16th. THE GREAT ELECTION, This will be a busy year in American politics. A President and Vice President are to be elected, and the 356 members who are to constitute the House of Representatives of the Fifty-third
a third of the eighty-eight Senstars of that Con- gret, ion, are to be elected by Legislature, and Senator whose terms begin next year have been elected by Legislatures selected in 1891, but the majority of them are yet to be chosen, and are to depend for their election on Legislatures to be provided for this year. Moreover, most of the States will elect Governors and other State officers in the year which has just begun. The popular vote of the country for President in 180 wis 9.204.478. · 1 Was 10,048 oft in 1894 and 11,39181 in 1888, and nently, if not quite 12,500,0 men will go to the polls in the presidential contest which will be decided on November 8 h next.
It is reported that Cleveland is about to write a letter saying that he cannot accept the nomination for President unless It shall be tendered to him by a unanimous vote
THE REHRING SEA QUESTION,
The Behring Sea controversy has been placed in course of early and amicable adjustment, and the segull will art fail to be a vindication of Secretary Blaine's diplomatic skill and sagacity. The United States is the only nation of the world which is I quidating its national debt, and the only one which has more money in the treasury than the government needs for current expenser. Since 1874 the public debts of Europe have increased by the enormous sum of $10,000,000,000. The debt of France alone since the close of the Franco-German war kas incressed by about $3 000,000,000, while Russian has added to her ladebtedness during the same period so equal sum and now is borrowing more, It significant fact that a great many of the immigrants from Europe, who are now antring
