War or Reparation. The testimony already taken be fore the United States Distnot at torney at San Francisco makes rev lations enough to show that the time for soft speeches and honeyed words las passed, and that the time for severe and summary measnres has arrived. The testimony in it gard to the treatment of Patilok Shield?, fireman on the Keweena shows that he wps made the victim of a series of brutal asoaalts without parallel for no other reason than that he happened to be an Ameri can citizen. Mr. Shields is a native of Ireland, bnt has resided in this country since he was a boy. Ac cording to the unanimous testimony of those who eerved with him, Mr. Shields is a young man of sobriety, honesty and excellent disposition. He shipped on beard the Keweerjaw ct Brooklyn, N. Y., and reached Valpara'so on September 2Sth last. He wai given liberty and went ou shore. After leaving a barber shop and while perfectly soHr be was accost d by two policemei lor mon ey, and not coraply:ng with their demand, the officers, who were iu uniform, marched him a quart t of a mile to the jail where they Icc':! him up. He remained a prisoner until morning when he was told to go out. His cap had been stolen from him by the prisoners in the jail, and when he a drd for it the officers laughed at him. He walked a mile bareheaded before he found a shop where he could purchase a hat. This was 9 o'clock Sunday morn iug. No charge was made against him, and he was given nothing to eat except a few b'ttltt beans and a email bit of bread. On the streets and iu the yard Shields was fear'ally maltreated. He was beaten from the back of his head down the back. His back was as black ps a hat and he was se verely cut on the temples. This abuee was kept up for nine days, lie was struck with a heay stick and with tho handle of a heavy street broom several times a day,be ing frequently knocked down by the officeis in charge. 11 is body was terribly biuised, and when he went back to his ship he was unable to lilt his hands or arms or turn over iu Lis bed. Q. What excuse did they give fcr doing this ? A. Nothinr at all, only because I was an American. Q. Did they complain about your not working? A. No, sir ; I worked all the time. Q. Did they treat the other piif ooers in the same manner t A. No, sir ; they were natives, ex cept myself and this man McKids try. He was put in jail on Sanday, but ran away ahont noon on Mon day wheu he see the way I was bea ten with a b:oom. Q. Was ary charge preferred against yon? A. None at all. i. Was there any tilat or exarni nation before any magistrate or commissioner ? A. No, sir; none at all. Continuing his Ntoiy, Shields said that Bernard Flannigan, ono of t:e hip's crew, paid a dollar or two to an interpreter to go to the prison and inquire if the witness wps there but the officers in charge denied that he was in the jail. Alter nine days of this treatment he was ic leased. His money had been taken from him and he ould not get a boat. He slept on the rocks ail night, and early next morning he was again at rest. d and put to work on the street. "It wa on that day,"! to use his own words, was beaten so that I will remember it a'l the days of my life.'' Tney beat him dreadfully iu the street! on the way to prison when he had tried to es cape. We qaote his own language: 'Alter they pot me into the yanl auother polirsman pnlk 1 me mund and beat me wi?h his stick w'th the li ather upon it until I waa quife etupid. I stood there for a couple of minutes. I got a dunk of wat.?r. They started me to wqrk agfo. One policeman, with side whiskers, cme up and hit me two bats on the head with a long broom. He knocked me down and knocked me quite stu" pid, and then he came np again and hit me iu the back of the bead and cn tho back near the kidneys. After that 1 don't know anything at all. About au hour after that 1 was picked up and carried over to a place ot rft-t. Alter I came to my self I looked round and see a young fellow standing alongside andl ask ed him to get me a drink. He got - it for me. 1 came to my senses and I got up aud heaved oil a lot of blood I suppose about a quart of j blood. It was running out of my nose and ears. I beaved op a quart of thick b'ood out of my body. Thry wanted me to go and carry hay then. couldn't do that. I was not fit to move. I did not know anything at all. I cou'dn't tell my own name at the time. Then they put me to work to scour bridle bits for the horsea. There were over 200 hors es. They put me to ecoar them sit ting down. I scouied them on up to 5 o'clock. Then I was let in about 530 and kept there until Sat urday and t.e.i. J all the same. If I snod up for half a minate I was hit." No accusation wn made against him and he had no trial. On Mon day he was leleasrd, and on Tuesday be found the U. 3, Consul. That officer tried ' - get the commandant of the police and a doctor of the Chilian government to look at Shields' wounds. The r olico capt aiu would nor. and pfter tho doctor had Keen i:- he cleared away, say'g it was a bad cse. Tbe teMi-uony of Shields that he w?s air. t and mplrveated for no other reon than that he wp 8n American citizen. Andrew McKin. siry was a'o a: vested at the same time beranse he was an Ameriran. He saw the poliiman knock Shie'ds down, "when Shields t up,"' he Bays, 'he wai bleeding from 'ie mouth and no?. The officer struck him the second time and knocked him down." McKmstry got among the horses aud made his escape from the officer, dap Jenkins ra tified that when Shields was areslt ed be was a song man mentally and physically, "In what condition was uq pnys'cany wnen ne came back V was asked the captain. He replied : 'When he came back he wps phy sically a wrrck. He was bla.. ? and bine from the nape of bis neck down to his hips, where he had been bea- ten. He lost a great deal of blood and it left him in a stupid cond;tion. At times I had my doubts whether he was in his right m?nd. It left him in a palsied condition. He was confined to his bed all the time we were in Valparaiso and I had to ship another man in his place." The Chilians neve" even claimed that Shields was troublesome or drnnk, nor was any explanation oi the bratal treatment he received ev er given. The evidence is unques tioned aud corroborated also that Shields was made to suffer these in dignities solely because he Is an American. Half a dozen engineers, firemen and officers of high chaiact' er testified that it was a common thing for American sailor to deny their nationality when on shore at Valparaiso. Tne reon wag that insnlts were heaped upon Ame" cans, aud all v tified to the bitter feel'ng exhibited by Chilians to Am ericans. One sa-lor lestified that he was proad of 1 ?ing an American ev ery whero except in Chili where eriean citizeneMp subjects one to insult. If f?uch indigaiUeu as this can be offered an American seanipn with impunity, of what value is our boasted American citizenship! When t: this brutality is added the murder of the s.v'or on the Baltic more, it loo': like there is nr?d of an AndiftW Jackson at the helm. Befo. b this he would have sent a fleet to Valparaiso and demanded abject apology and reparation or he would have b'own the city into at oms. suite (jt. oMclP. X Danger to Tho Sontli.

A Telegraph Operator Rreak TJio Rule To Do n. KolleD.2fl. 'It isn't often that an operator stops to think of tbe message be re ceives or Bt ids," said an old opera tor. "They are all of a size to him. But I remember one time duiing the late war I felt my eyes moisten as I read the following to Senator Fessenden : " 'ATy son is sentenced to be shot to-morrow morning at 6 for sleep ing at his post. Will you kindly see President Lincoln at ouce and in tercede till I cai reach Washington to present evidence which will clear ly prove my son's in-oceuce V "I kucw that if tbe message was impelled . wait its torn it would not reach Senator Fessenden till too late for a y hope of reaching tbe President to say nothing of getting a reprieve sent to the line of battle w'jeie tbe pon was. 1 said to my self: Here is a human life banging byathiead. Shall I cat the thread by letting the message take its turn?' No, I couldn't. I violated the rules and telegraphed tbe solemn mes sage to av tbe hotels in Wfsb;ng ton, till the Senator was found and the message safe in bis hands. Word came back that Senator Fessenden had obtained the reprieve, and I telegraphed the glpd news to the poor old fellow up in Main".'' Be. troit Free Press. That the Southern farmers are beginning to realize the necessity of becoming independent ot Western granaries is shown by the fact that although the cotton ciop was larger last year than the crop of 1889-90, they raised 117,000,000 bubels of coin more than ?n any prerTous year. While his is the resu't more of fa vorable masons than of '"ncreased acreage, it shows what the South can do in the way of racing grain, and that she can I r jome entirely independent of tbe Western grana ry 'f the will, f ?d not only raise en. ough for homo use but for export. We hold that with good cultivation tbe grain crop of tha South, even on the present acreage, could be mo-e than doubled iu a few years, if our farmers would generally adopt grass culture as one ot the means of enrichment their lands, for grass is one of nature's fertilizer, and one of the surest fertilizers, and one of the surest aud cheapest that can be applied.
