this eovernment iu certain business
schemes in Peru, in the interest of
which the intervention of the United
States was to be secured to bring about
peace between Chili and Peru, to pre
vent the practical conquest of the latter
by the former.
It is charged that there is in exist
ence a company which has certain
grants from the Peruvian government
which gives them a claim upon that
government to the amount of fcbout
$900,000,000 and that to protect this so-
called claim they were using the in
fluence through certain United States
representatives and officials to secure
the friendly mediation of the United
States whereby peace might be brought
about between conquering Chili and
conquered Peru. It is boldly hinted
that Blaine had his fingers pretty deep
ly in the pie, and hence his solicitous
interest in the contending Republics,
and his desire to bring about a peace
conference between the Sputh Ameri
can governments. .It is said, also, that
Hurlbut the minister to Peru, was
lareelv interested, and that he was
using his official position to bring about
the desired intervention in the interest
of Peru and the guano ring, in which
he had the sympathy and co-operation
of the then Secretary Blaine. The fact
that some of the correspondence on
this question has been lost from the
files of the State Department since the
discussion of the subject began gives
color to the charges of crookedness.
The investigation will be looked for
with no little interest, and especially
by the Stalwarts, who hope to make
some capital out of it against Blaine, if
the revelations place him in a question
able attitude, which many of them
claim they will They hope thus to
spike his gun and place him under a
cloud where he will not be a dangerous
antagonist in coming contests. There
is no man in the Republic they would
rather kill off than the gentleman
from Maine, from whom they appre
hend much trouble, and who is un
doubtedly laying his plans to give them
all the trouble he can. They have al
ready dubbed him with the odorous ti
tle of "Guano Jim," and if they can
but make the guano stick they will be
happy indeed. Let the investigation
proceed. It will be interesting, though
perhaps not altogether delightful.
either vtte for or refuse to oppose what
their judgment and conscience disap

When we see Democratic Congress
men dodging the discussion of the pen
sion arrears swindle, when they know
it to be one of the most outrageous of
swindles, and don't hesitate to say so,
because it is feared the discussion
would array the soldier element against
the Democratic party, we conclude that
they are thinking more of party suc
cess than of the interests of the-people
whom they are supposed to represent.
That may be policy, but it is a policy
that never wins victories, or if it does
they are yictories that are not warth
winning.

THE CONKLIXG SURPRISE.
Conkling's nomination as associate
justice on the United States Supreme
bench yesterday, seems to have been a
surprise at Washington, inasmuch as
his name had not been mentioned for
any position except the secretaryship of
the treasury, the impression being at
one time that Secretary Folger would
be transferred fromj the treasury to the
Supreme bench, and Conkling appoint
ed as his successor. But it was denied
by his friends that he sought any posi
tion at Washington, and he was report
ed repeatedly as saying that he would
accept none.
The question now is, after all this,
wiUhe accept? It is not likely in view
of the intimate relations that exist be
tween him and the President, that his
name would be sent to the Senate for
that position without his knowledge
and consent, and giving his consent
would imply that he would accept. Nor
is it likely that the nomination is a
mere compliment that the President
wishes to pay his steadfast friend, and
benefactor, for it was he that madt
Arthur Vice President.
And yet it does not seem that a man
of Conkling's ability for leadership, re
cognized as he is as the htad and from
of the stalwart element of his party,
full of activity, energy and aggressive
ness, would be content to shelve him
self on the bench of associate justice
even of as distinguished a court as the
Supreme Court of the United States. It
might suit men of less- active mould
but would not suit him. He may ac
cept but we shall be much surprised if
he does.
President Arthur has made five hun
dred and thirty nominations to office

stipulation by which the intervention
by the United States in the controver

whether the influence of the
jovernment of the United States

officially connected with the govern

bills were introduced and referred.
Belmont introduced a resolution call

Kasson offered as a substitute the
following resolution:

with the Chili-Peruvian correspondence
recently and officially published on the
call of the two Houses of Congress that

of the United States were either person
