THE SAMOAN ISLANDS.

The announcement in our dispatches
yesterday that the Samoan Islands have
petitioned England and the United
States for a protectorate reminds us that
during the last year of President Grants
first term there was proposition OF
this character entertained. Intelligence
was received from reliable sources that
the Samoans desired the United States
to take them, not as children entitled to
inh eritance, but as wards having little
property of their own which they need
ed assistance in taking care of. The
President sent A. B. Steinberger to in
terView the chiefs and to report general
ly on the propriety of such step. A
year or two before Commodore Meade,
of our navy, with the consent of the
native authorities, had taken possession
of the best and most important harbor
in the group, and promised that our
government would protect it. After
viewing the situation carefully, Stein
berger reported that majority
of the native chiefs wanted the
protection of the United States. Prompt
action was rot taken by the administra-
ton, and the islanders concluded they
would erect a government for themselves
and accordingly elected one of their
principal chiefs king, who Immediately
chose Steinberger his Prime Minister.
The new reign is now about two years
old, and Notwithstanding the fact that
the Prime Minister is 'carpet-bagger,
they have been years Of peace and pros
perity.
The Samoans seem still to regard the
friendship of the great republic desire
able, and have recently made overtures
- Il L.
IL degrees and 10 degrees south, and
between 1859 degrees and ITO degrees
west. Nine of them are inhabited, hay
ing total population in 1870 of 35 900.
The largest of the group, Savaii, has an
area of about 700 square miles. The
climate is said to be the finest in the
world, the mercury never rising above
SO degrees, nor falling below 20 degrees,
giving mean temperature offs degrees.
A fair estimate of the character of the
people may be formed from the manner
In which they received the Christian re-
hglon and its handmaiden, education.
The first missionaries visited the islands
in 1880. They found them worshiping
one great god and number of smaller
ones. Beside these they had number
of monuments which they had erected
in honor Of the departed chiefs. to
which they offered their alteration.
They had no written language. After
the lapse of forty seven years there is
not an idolater among them; all believe
IN Christianity, and large majority of
them practice its precepts. They have
schools in every neighborhood, and the
young people are as well educated as in
some places in this country. The com
merce o. the islands amounts to but lit
tie They are increasing in population,
however, and business men from other
parts of the world are settling among
them and giving new impetus to their
industries. Their friendship is worth
having,

THE present season has been unusual
for thenumber and severity of its storms
of wind and rain and the damage to
property has gone up into the millions
of dollars One of the most destructive
of these storms is that which visited Pen
saukee, on Saturday evening. The vii
lage was almost totally destroyed, six or
eight persons killed, and about thirty
more or less wounded. The destruction
was even more sweeping in proportion
to the size of the village than that at
Mount Carmel, H., a few weeks ago;
and there is equal if not greater need
for charity. Neighboring towns We're
prompt in sending aid to sufferers, but
more than towns will be able to send
viii probably be needed. Northern
Wisconsin has had its full share of dis
aster by fire and wind, and the more
favored portions of the state can well
afford to extend the aid needed.

NOMINATE HM.-We are gratifed to
learn that the name of Hon. d. r. Bal
ley, of Baldwin, ST. Croix county, is
prominently mentioned in connection
with the office of Lieutenant Governor
on the Republican ticket. From long
and intimate acquaintance with Mr..
Bailey We are prepared to recommend
him as a gentleman in every way quail
fled to fill the position-in fact we know
OF no one who would carry with him
that amount OF ability and business tact
required rs he would, and nothing could
give us more pleasure than an oppor-
tunity to vote for him for that office.
With such men as d. r. Bailey on the
State ticket, defeat is not to be thought
of this fall.

This week we present to our readers,
in another column of the Press, the
open letter of Hon I. o. Howe to Mr..
Lewis A. Proctor, in answer to certain
interrogatories propounded by that gen
tleman. AS you might expect, it is an
able paper, rife with keen, cutting, satir-
ical wit. For weeks and months Hon.
r.. O. Howe has been the subject of
attacks by some of our metropolitan
journals and papers of less importance
in the interior of the state. In conjunc-
ton with this warfare certain politicians
who have been retired from public life
by people whose interests they had
failed to properly represent, have given
publicity to their invectives against this
honorable gentleman whose public ca
reer has been SO irreproachable as to
secure the confidence and repeated re-
Endorsements of an honest constituency.
Had we the power and influence we
have not the disposition to fight the
battles of Hon. Timothy o. Howe. He
is fully competent of defending himself.
AS public journalist, however, we
enter our solemn protest against this
slipshod villifcation of man who in
every way, is worthy our esteem. For
sixteen years Hon. t. O. Howe has
represented this commonwealth in the
senate of the United States, and for a
service of sixteen years In political life,
there is no where to be found the record
of an individual who can step forth as
his p eer. Even if Hon. L. o. Howe
had not uttered word in self defense
his career as public man would have
fully exhonorated him. The public
know Senator Howe; the public are
his friends, and the public will stand by
him, as he has stood by hem.-Nenasho

HON. T. O. HOWE.

For weeks past Senator Howe has
been the object of numerous uncalled
for attacks at the hands of Milwaukee
editors, called forth in the Sentinel be-
cause he was an obstacle in Mr. Carpen-
ter's way, and in the Evening Wisconsin
because he was in favor of locating the
consolidated pension agency IN Madison
instead of Milwaukee. Mr.. Howe has
generally passed these items by with 81
lent contempt, but the demands of the
Wisconsin have finally drawn an answer
from him, which we publish in another
column. We believe the answer was
unnecessary, as Senator Howe's record
during the sixteen years of service in the
Senate needs no explanation !; and does
anyone suppose that, had he embraced
the cause of Milwaukee, the Milwaukee
papers had found any reason to complain
OF his going to Washington in the inter
ests of that city? Certainly not and
instead of condemning him for his action
they would now be engaged in finding
excuses for hinl-if excuses were neces-
sary,-which we claim were not. The
Milwaukee papers mentioned apparently
hold that because he is o Senator he has
no right to have an opinion of his own
and that he should attempt nothing that
the entire people of the State do not
sanction Such Senator, or one who
attempted to act on that principle, would
be worse than wooden man in the
United States Senate, and we for one are
ready to applaud Mr.. Howe for his man
hood as shown in his independence in
the matter. As to Senator Howe hurt
ing the Republican party in Wisconsin,
that is all nightmare under which the
Sentinel is struggling. If the Sentinel
were half as loyal to the Republican
party as Mr.. Howe is, it would be alto
gether different paper and its influence
for good would be greatly increased.
The people have placed implicit faith IN
Senator Howe for many years, and they
are willing to trust him yet, the asser-
tions CT swapping and snarling CANNES at
his heels Notwithstanding.

KEEPING CARPHTs AND FuRNIrURE.
Carpets and furniture can be entirely
protected from moth by care, cleanli-
ness and turpeutine. Nice furniture
should be well beaten to remove dust
and moth; papers wet. with spirits of
turpentine should be placed over the
seats and backs of stuffed furniture and
the whole sewed up in cloth. The most
delicate materials will not be injured
by applying the turpentine in this way.
For carpets, . free use of tobacco leaf
or stem is desirable. Papers dipped
in turpentine here and there will do
their share, and for outside packing
each carpet should be sewed in burlap.
NEW ENGLAND BAKED BRANs.-Put
q quart of good white beans in s or 4
quarts of soft water; let them stand
