IT IS OUR BUSINESS.

The San Francisco Chronicle labors to
convince its readers that the United States
Government is not bound to interfere with
Germany if that nation wants to take pos
session of the Samoan Islands, and that
we have no cause to interest Ourselves in
the matter as to who shall rule from
among the native Chiefs Our contempo-
rary is ill-advised as to the facts We
have several treaties with Samoa that do
bind us to certain policies. One is that we
shall recognize the Malietoa line of Kings
as legitimate governors; another is that
if the Samoan Government falls into diff
Guilty with any other of the treaty powers
who are at peace with the United States,
Samoa shall have the right to ask and the
United States shall extend protecorate
over the islands until the difficulty is ad-
justed. On its part Samoa has granted the
United States two fine ports, with exclus
i've control over them, so that to all intents
they are American possessions. They are
the best coaling stations and harbors of
refuge in the southern seas, and as naval sta
tions are conceded to be of universal import
ance to US. Samoa also granted to us, by
treaty agreement, commercial privileges
that are of constantly augmenting import
ance. Now to claim that under such cir
cumstances, and with Germany doing her
70 l,o Al.
which we treated and that has
claimed and asked protection of the
United States; with German commercial
influences actively at work crowding our
citizens from the islands and sparing no
effort to control the entire trade of the re-
gion to our exclusion-to claim that we
have no interest in Germany's proceeding,
aud should stand aside and see a power
put upon the throne antagonistic to US,
and owned and controlled by Germany, is
worse than absurd We have very great
interest, in Samoa, those that will greatly
expand and which we cannot afford to re-
linquish or permit to be absorbed by Ger
many or any other power "The lordship
of the islands is precisely as much our
business as it is the business of Germany,
and in fact good deal more, since we
have uniformly adhered to the policy of
standing by lawful Government which
by treaty we have recognized, under which
we have been accorded privileges and i'm
portant grants, and that frankly expresses
desire for our friendship and the exten-
sion of American trade and civilization
within its dominions. In short, Samoans
are friendly to the United States Govern
ment, like its people, desire them to come
among them, and in every way manifest
their desire for close relations to be main
tanned between the Island Government
and the Republic. Shall we turn the
cold shoulder to such advances by people
by no means wholly savage and more de-
sirable by far as friends than others that
may be named?

twenty years ago; it was given to sus-

it now be devoted to the promotion of the

EVIDENTLY there is trouble in store for
compositors. An Eastern journal, one of
the Oldest that comes to our desk, is
printed from types set by machinery at a
rate of speed that gives one man the capac-
ity of four. Another journal, a Western
paper, is printed without types except for
its advertising columns and head lines. In
the latter case steel dies operated by keys
strike the face of the letter into soft sub
stance from which matrices stereotypes are
taken. With this improvement one man
does the work of two, and the cost of a
plant of type is thus eliminated. But let
not the fraternity of compositors fear.
With these inventions, as with most others,
it will turn out that the rapidity and econ
omy secured will but enlarge the field of
labor. If newspapers and books can be
thus more cheaply and rapidly produced
there will be more printing. Newspapers
will print more matter and oftener, and
books will be more accessible and more
read. The demand will keep pace with
the inventions, and as many men be en-
ployed under the new as under the old
system, while the laborer will be benefited
by less physical discomfort. Just as it is
better for the worker to finger the keys Of
type-setter or an elec.ro-matrix machine
than to handle metal types, which are
more or less harmful to the physical or
ganization, he will be benefited

confessed his crime public Indignation was
manifest anew, and the necessity was
felt at the trial for strong guard about
the prisoner. The sentence is not too Sc
we're. The man whose founts of tender
ness are sealed up; who has no heart of
mercy for the beast of burden that cannot
escape him; who delights in the agonies
of animals, and inhicts upon @man's best

pain out of unalloyed viciousness of heart,
deserves to be sequestered for life from as
sociation with men. Such characters are
dangerous to be at large; their hearts are
abandoned, and the very best thing to do
with them is to put it beyond their power
to repeat their offenses, or to turn their
hands, as they are liable to do, against
their fellow-men.

Gently of PATHS appearance in Paris in
opera, which was announced to be her fare
we'll in that city, Gounod, with tears
in his eyes, went down upon his marrow
bones before the woman, and begged her
to revoke her resolution to not again visit
Paris; that Carnot, President of the Re-
public, hearing the weeping and supplica-
ton behind the scenes added his tears to
the down-pour of sentimentality. All
which is nauseating. Patti is the worlds
greatest singer; that the President of
one of the greatest nations of earth should
grow briny in the eyes over her departure
from Paris, not again to return, is perhaps
complimentary to Patti, but not in keeping
with the official station of the weeper.
Patti has more sense than either Carnot or
Gounod in this matter She knows that
as age comes on her voice must fail, and
she prefers, and wisely so, to retire in the
hight of her fame, leaving memories of
wonderful power that cannot but be i'm
paired by exhibitions of its decline.

DIED OF OLD AGE.
Death of Volunteer. the Celebrated Sire
of Trotters.


of Trotters.
New YORK, December 14th.-The cele-
brated trotting sire, Volunteer, died yester-
day at the farm of the late Alden Gold
smith, Washingtonville, Orange county,
N. Y.
Volunteer was a bay horse, foaled in 1854;
he was sired by Rysdyk's Hambletonian,
dam Lady Patriot by Young Patriot The
get of Volunteer began to show up prom
inently very early in the last decade, his
son, William H. Allen, obtaining a record
of 2:234. which was very fast for that period,
1872 Volunteers son, Gloster, bay geld
ing, seventeen hands high, whose stride
measured twenty-three feet, began trotting
in 1871. In 1874, at Rochester, he earned
record of 2:l7. He was sent to California
and died there before the season of 1875
opened.
st. Julien, the fastest of the get of Vol.
unteer, appeared in 1875 and gained a rec
ord of 2:221 that season. He was sent to
California, where Orin Hickok spent sew
eral years overcoming his headstrong dis.
position. La 1879, in the presence of Gen.
eral Grant, he trotted a full mile in 2123,
beating the 213& of Rarus, then the best
time. Volunteer was credited with eighteen
sons, who sired thirty-seven, with records
of 2:30 or better, and sixteen daughters,
who produced each one go trotter, max
ing Volu2teer ancestor in the first or sec
ond generation of no less than eighty per-
formers in 2:30. He died of old age.

AN absurd claim is put forward that the
State, by Act of Legislature in 1859,
granted to the extreme southern counties
the privilege, with consent of Congress, to
set up distinct government, State or Ter
ritorial, and that the Act is still in force,
and that Congress can, under it, consent to
division of the State. Two years ago
the REcoRD-UNIoN pointed out that the
Act referred to could not be availed Of
The Legislature, by that bill submitted
the question to the people Of the proposed
new State only, when it should have
submitted it to the vote of all the State of
California. Moreover, the submission di-
rected was not made and it is now too late.
The State since that time has by action of
all the people peaceably revolutionized her
government and declared the exterior
boundaries of her territory. Congress
would never consent to any action as de-
sired under an Act that has been dormant
for nearly thirty years. If, however, it
was disposed to do so, the Act of 1859 was
in excess of the power of the Legislature
under the Constitution then existing.

RAILROAD LICENSES.
The Railroad Companies Need Not Pa
Them to Counties.


The Supreme Court, in bank, yesterday
rendered decision in the case of San Be
nito county against the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company. San Benito county
sued the company to compel it to pay IL
cense for conducting its business within the
county. The company contended that as
the railroad was operated under a State
franchise they were not compelled to pay
any county license, and the Superior Court
decided in favor of the plaintiff
The Supreme Court has ordered the de-
cision reversed and Judgment recorded in
favor of the railroad company.
In the opinion handed in by the Supreme
Court it admits that it has already handed
in several decisions in favor of the plaintiff
in such cases, but is now governed by the
recent decision of the United States Su-
preme Court in The case of State of Califor-
MIA VS.. Central Pacific Railroad Company.
