THE SAMOAN vIcE-coNsuLArE


Judging the Government by what
they do rather than by what they say, it
gives us pleasure to commend their ac-
ton in making the American Consul at
Samoa the Vice. Consul of Hawaii, in
stead Of going to what would doubtless
be the greater expense of sending a
special Hawaiian envoy. Mr. Greene
baum is not likely to allow our interests
in Samoa to suffer, and we think, from
his vigorous representation of his own
Government there, that he may be de
pended on to do the best he can for
this Government This Kingdom will
undoubtedly find that the best policy it
can follow, with regard to Pacific mat
ters, is one not only in harmony with
American ideas, but in large degree in
cooperation with and under the tute-
lage of the United States Our nearest
and most intimate neiehbor, and the ma
ton most deeply interested in Hawaii
of all the Great Powers.

The Federated Trades organization
of San Francisco is in a demoralized
state. Legitimate trade unionists be-
came disgusted to find that they were
outvoted by Socialist delegates repre-
senting no industrial class. The Spreck-

Union Iron Works strike is failing, the

the boiler-makers are offered condone-

main with the organization, and the

Mr.. Bodwelps letter of acceptance discusses
at considerable length the issues now before
the people of Maine and gives his opinions
in regard to them with admirable clearness
and force. For many years large employer
of labor, he has thoroughly acquainted him
self with the needs of the workingman, and
consequently his utterances on that subject
are something more than the words of a the
orist. They are the teachings of experience,
and carry with them far greater force than
If spoken by man devoid of practical
knowledge Of the subject The man that
utters them has toiled himself for wages. He
has therefore thorough understanding of
the needs of the workers; he can view
their case from their standpoint He has
been capitalist, too, an employer of labor,
and thoroughly comprehends the difficulties
which beset that class. Having studied
both sides of the question in the school of
experience his conclusions are pretty certain
to be wise and for the highest good of both
the laborer and the employer Being the re-
suit Of mature Judgment based ON accurate
knowledge, his opinions are certain also to
be tenaciously held. Mr.. Bodwell lays down
FIVE specific things which he believes would
result to the advantage of both employer
and employe.
First, board of arbitration to settle dis
putes between the employer and the en-
ployed.
Second, ten hour law.
Third, abolition of Imprisonment for debt
Fourth, abolition Of the trustee process so
far as relates to the wages of labor.

many years that laws embodying these
points should be placed upon our statnte
book, and legislation in that direction would

Now it is Lord Randolph Churchill who is

Now it is Lord Randolph Churchill who is
drafting bill to solve the Irish problem. His
scheme is said to provide for comprehen
sive system of local self government, giving
to Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales,
each the control of its own affairs, but keep
ing each subject to the Imperial Parliament
in all affairs pertaining to the welfare Of the
realm. The plan is also intended to be
Of such fexibility that it can be extended to
the colonies when the occasion shall be ia
vorable. This is some such plan as has
been advocated by Chamberlain for a long
time; and abstractly considered, it seems to
afford a very excellent solution of the present
troubles in Ireland, and also to anticipate
many other troubles which appear imminent
in the Empire and the colonies But stable
forms of government are not worked out as
mathematical problem is solved They are
a result of growth, of cropping after RENE
dies for unbearable evils. Mr.. Gladstone is
statesman enough to realize this, and his plan
of dealing with the grievances as they are
has commended itself to those principally in
terested, the Irish, and to a very large por-
ton of the English and Scotch people. The
schemes advocated by Churchill and Cham
berloin, on the other hand, are neither ac-
ceptable to the Irish nor demanded by any
large party in the rest of the kingdom.

A very pretty little story of self abnega-
ton in behalf of civil service reform comes
from Tennessee. Col. Robert M. Taylor
was made pension agent at Knoxville by
Mr.. Cleveland. Of course he was informed
that public Office is public trust, and that
he must attend strictly to the duties of his
Office, and bid his unruly heart be still when
the political clans of Tennessee should be up
in arms at the next election. AS has been
partisans appointed by this administration,
Col. Taylor smiled very SIMULTANEOUSLY
whenever anything was said about politics,
and appeared to be very much absorbed in
his pension business. This of course pleased
the authorities at Washington; but what
was their horror a few days ago to receive
from Taylor letter stating that he, the
aforesaid inoffensive partisan, had the pins
all set up and was certain to be nominated
Governor of Tennessee; would it be any
thing out of the way for him to be on hand to
return thanks to the nominating convention?
Had he been an Indiana postmaster he
would have gone without leave, and never
heard anything more about it, but the Int
rior Department, unwilling to let so scrupu-
lous an officer err when no one but himself
was to profit by it, sent back the answer that
1t would be highly improper for him to be
whether he went or not, but the papers say
that Robert NJ. Taylor has been nominated
for Governor of Tennessee.

receive his cordial assistance and approval.
But these acts, potent as they may be for the
improvement of the condition of the laboring
man, Mr.. Bodwell considers of small impor-
lance compared with the maintenance of the
protective system which the Republican par
ty is pledged to uphold, and which the Dem
ocratic party has for years been striving to
break down. His utterances on this point
should claim the earnest attention OF every
laboring man in Maine. While the Maine
Democracy have been cenciliating the labor
ing man with promises of legislation in his be-
half, the representatives of that party in Con-
gress have been plotting for the overthrow of
a system which is of intellectually more conse-
quence to him than all their promises, even If
fulfilled to the letter, could be. The Democ-
racy have been offering him delicacies with
one hand and taking away his substantial
food with the other
A thorough and consistent advocate of
prohibition himself Mr.. Bodwells words on
that subject will be accepted as the warn
ings of friend He clearly points out that
the effect of this third party movement, If it
has any, must inevitably be to commit the
prohibitory law to party which avowedly
hates it, and which many times in its con-
ventions has advocated its modification, and
which no longer ago than last June formally
declared hostility to it.
Mr.. Bodwell favors most liberal policy
towards the surviving soldiers of the war of
the Rebellion and their families. He holds
that their claims should be regarded as
first mortgage upon the treasury of their
country, and that no loyal soldier needing
help should be turned away empty handed,
even though formal proof is lacking that his
disability was the direct result of service in
the field Better" he says, referring to the
Presidential vetoes ''for an irregular case to
escape the scrutiny of our lawmakers than
that the risk be incurred of throwing honor
able soldiers as paupers upon the charity of
the world
The letter is in every respect an admirable
one, and we bespeak for it a thorough and
attentive reading by the people of Maine.
The opinions therein expressed are, we be-
lieve sound and will be heartily endorsed
by the liberal and progressive people of the
State. With Mr.. Bodwell in the executive
chair we can be certain that Maine will take
no backward step.

The Children of Old Parks Tavern; A
Story of the South Shore, by Frances A.
Humphrey, has for its scene of action the
town of Byfeld, Mass, at time when its
famous old tavern was in its glory. 1t tells
of the children who lived there, the friends
who visited them, and the guests who, in
country parlance, "put up" at that quaint
hosiery. 1t is a pretty and vivacious ac-
count of a phase of New England life now
quite passed away, which will seem to the
young people of to-day very queer and in
credible. New York: Harper & Brothers; ;
