MONDAY, JULY 13, 1891.
Chili famishes the latest illustra tion of the danger that threatens civil liberty when, under the forms of Re publican Government, almost unlimited power i. placed in the hands of one man. Should the incarnation o( desootism prove a ruthless and blood thirsty tyrant, it is almost impossible for the country to shake him off —at any rate till his term of office expires by effluxion of time —except by the stern, sharp method of revolution. During the last few months Chili has been going through all the horrors of that process. The rival parties have displayed a ferocity almost unparalleled in modern warfare ; quarter has neither been given nor asked ; the balance of victory has inclined first to one side and then to the other. The cable news to-day, dealing with the last encounter between the rival forces, states that the Government troops have experi enced a defeat.
