be safely assumed, and now is the fitting
time to say it-now, when the air is heavy
and laundering with all manner of ex
ploding reputations-that with all of
our self-depreciation and these countless
revelations" we are not, as q people, as bad
as we seem. We pay our debts and do not
condone crime, no matter in what shape it
may come. What is more-we mean, if we
IAN, without regard to party, to elect Presi-
dent in this centennial year who will not
be unmindful of what is due to the country.
We have deep vein of generosity in our
national character, and do not indorse the
"cutthroat" schemes of politicians who
think they cannot rise except upon the
abasement and degradation of their rivals.

Mr.. Curtis reminds his readers, in the course
OF an able article on current politics, that he
knows 'stanch republican delegates to the
Cincinnati Convention who did not hesitate
last summer to call themselves Tilden re-
publicans. Unless the Republican Convcn-
hon breaks away from ''the machine"-or, in
other words, unless Mr.. Blaine is nomi-
mated, the s'Tilden republicans" will leave
The party and vote the democratic ticket
Taking this declaration in connection with
Tho kindness shown by the World to Mr.
Curtis it only confirms our theory that the
effect of the movement against Conkling
must be to land Mr.. Curtis in the fold of the
democracy. 1t was in anticipation of this
transformation that we recommended him as
candidate for Lieutenant Governor on the
same ticket with Mr.. Dorsheimer. Mr..
Dorsheimer left the republican party four or
five years ago, and the democrats made him
Lieutenant Governor Now, as he will as
pire to Tilden's place, why would it not be
good nomination to place Mr.. Curtis on
the ticket with him? AS 'sTilden repub-
licnn" Mr.. Curtis should have ''recogni-
ton" He would make q charming Presi-
dent of the Senate. Like Dorsheimer he is
nm attractive man and favorite with the
ladies. Dorsheimer and Curtis would make
the handsomest brace of candidates that
ever sought the suffrages of free people.

The Right and tho Wrong OF Samoa.
This Steinberger business is a merry affair,
and no one will mourn over tho captured
and deposed ruler. But here comes ques-
ton which no one seems to have considered
Steinberger is an American citizen and en-
titled to all the rights of citizenship-the
right. if he pleases. of making fool of him
self in any island of the world. If he did
anything wrong he was responsible to his
own government and to no other. The
British government had no more business
with him or his enterprises than we would
have with the enterprises Of any crazy Eng
lishman in Hayti or Japan. If our folks at
Washington are mindful of what is due to
American citizenship they will inquire with
out delay as to what right British officer
had to arrest an American citizen, confiscate
his property and imprison him. That is
liberty we do not allow any foreigner to take
with an American citizen, no matter what
fool he may be- Steinberger in Samoa is
as much entitled to our protection as Mr..
Washburne in Paris or Mr.. Davis in Berlin.
If we permit British officer to sit in judy
ment upon an American for acts performed
on soil where there is no British jurisdiction
we deprive ourselves of the highest privilege
of citizenship. 1t will not do for Mr. Fish
to laugh at Steinberger as a poor devil for
whom no one cares and with whose move
ments no one has any sympathy. He has
his rights, which we are bound to guarantee
to him. Do not let our contempt for an
adventurer or our amusement at the sudden
and disastrous collapse of savage dynasty"
interfere with our sense of what is due to
every citizen of this nation, whether at home
