The Samoan Troubles.

The reports of German outragcs
upon Americans in Samoa appear to
be confirmed, and affairs there are the
subject of interested discussion in Off
cial circles at Washington. There is a
good deal of warlike talk, though no
one imagines any serious trouble Is i'm
minent. The Cabinet is not of one
mind on the subject, the President and
Messrs. Whitney and Dickinson being
disposed to aggressiveness, while the
others favor pacific line of action, and
Secretary Whitney has asked Congress
to define the national policy upon this
question. Mr.. Bayard insists that Ger
many has violated treaty supulatlons,
but on the other hand Bismarck de-
clares that he had no agreement with
this Government, but with England
| who he says is in entire accord with
Germany's recent interference in the
domestic affairs of Samoa. 1t is not
easy to understand why the President
| if he knows that Germany has violated
treaty stipulations, and done violent in
Jury to the rights of Americans, in the
Samoan Islands, has not taken some
decisive step under the authority vested
in him to have the wrongs rlghtec
without goine to Congress for positive
Instructions. All the papers bearing
upon the matter have been called fol
by Congress, and the country will sool
understand the extent OF our grievance
against Germany. In the meantime
the desire, if not the intention, of thu
latter power to control the Samoan Is
lands is hardly open to doubt, and thi
serious complication is one of the lega
cies which the present administration
will bequeath to its successors, along
with the fisheries and other internationa

TIE failure to secure jury to try the
case of Cleary the alleged doodle
Alderman in New York, after consum,
ing the time of the court an entire week
has elected from Philadelphia colem-
porary, the following sensible and timely
comment ON the defects the presen,
jury system. Hundreds OF citizens
were called by the State, but not one
was chosen, although those who were
subjected to the ordeal of examination
represented all classes and conditions
of men, the worthy and the unworthy
the intelligent and the ignorant. Those
best informed were the more quickly
stood aside, intelligence being a quail
fication least of all apparently to be de
sired. Trial by jury is an institution
which can never in the nature of things
be dispensed with the ingenuity Of
man has never proposed any substitute
for it at all satisfactory. That man
accused of an offence under the law
shall be entitled to have bis cause tried
by jury Of his peers seems the mos,
natural of all recognizable rights, but
while the principle seems invulnerabiy
intrenched in justic and good public
policy, the methods of executing it ap
pear to require modification.

Cabinet Guessing.

The New York correspondent of the
Philadelphia Ledger graphically de-
picts the confusion into which the cab
met guessers have thrown the public.
On Wednesday within the limits of a
column of the New York World three
different cabinet combinations were tel
egraphed from Washington and Albany
and announced to the public. "Al
bany sends word that definite informa-
ton has been offered and has accepted
the Postmaster Generalshlp, and that
Warner Miller will receive the proposed
portfolio of Agriculture. Washington
sends word that Blaine, Allison, Aiger
and Wanamaker will be in the Cabinet,
the last named as Postmaster General.
This is confirmed by John S. Clarkson
in despatch from Chicago. Local Re-
publicans have received information
which leads them TO believe that ALI
son refuses to leave the Senate and that
Mr.. Platt's friends are still hopeful that
he will secure the Treasury portfolio.
The Tribune adds to the confusion by
publishing despatch from Indianapo
lis to the effect that the Cabinet is SO
far completed that only the Attorney
Generalship is now left tor New York,
whose warning factions must quickly
unite if they wish to secure even this
recognition. Senator Evarts is suggested
as the best New York man for that
place. So here are no less than four
Cabinet declarations in one day, all
emanating from a gentleman whose
information is direct Out of this con-
fusion worse confounded,' however, one
OF two things appear to be pretty well
agreed upon, and that is that the man
from Maine will head the new Cabinet,
that Western man, probably Allison,
will be Secretary of the Treasury, and
that New York will have to be content
with one OF the minor Cabinet posi-
tons, but until General Harrison opens
his mouth of gold, for, if silence is
golden, the President elect must have
been touched by Midas, no one can be
sure that even this much has been de-
cided upon"

This is for you, madame ;
about your Dresses. How
many of them fit just right?
Have you one Dress that sets
exactly as you wish? Isn't there
a draw, or a wrinkle-spot or a
hunch-up place in the best of
them? Doesn't it pinch a little
here and SLOUGH a little there?
Of course it does. Needn't.

There's no guesswork about

A cuirass of flexible metal
tapes does the business. Be
ing adjustable in all its parts
by a series of hooks and eye
lets, it is fitted perfectly to the
form, removed in sections, laid
flat upon the material to be cut,
a pencil sketch is made, a few
ships of the scissors, and the
garment is ready to put to-
gether. No shearing and shay
ing to make it fit Science Science
touches a secret spring in
dressmaking and the lines of
beauty fall into place.
Throat curves carried out;
shoulder slopes not married by
straight unyeilding seams; darts
that defy straining or stiffness
in outline; sleeve that might
serve to mould the arm of a
Venus, easy in any position

urement system we ever knew
and invented by man!
Think of the time lost in
trying to be fitted; add the
plague of the almost certain
misfit; take note of the cost of

The female mind of this country is
evidently not "made up" upon the suf-
frage question since petition signed
by six hundred wives and daughters of
Portland, has been laid before the
Maine Legislature protesting against

In very lugubrious strain our es-
teemed contemporary the Baltimore SIN
on Wednesday undertook to show how
high protective tariff does not con
tribute to the general prosperity, but
that it's tendency is to enrich only a
few. Or to use its own language. "a
few individuals of Pennsylvania, New
England and other Northern States
have, by means of partial tariff laws and
other unequal legislation, been made
enormously rich, while the masses of
the people have been impoverished.
The federal government has been used,
in word, as an instrument with which
to extort from the poor and weak their
hard earnings, and confer them upon
the rich and strong"
But right ill the face of this language
Senator Brown OF Georgia most ex-
cellent Democrat says: 81 think | may
safely say that no section of the Union
is making as rapid strides in develop
ment and in the establishment of fac
tories OF all characters as the Southern
States. Without the protection afforded
by the tariff laws, this rapid develop
ment would have been impossible.
Therefore, no section of the Union has
been for number of years, or is likely
to be, as much benefited by protection
as the Southern section. No section
has so much dependent upon the con-
tlnuation of protection for its future
prosperity and development"
Which is nearer the truth2 1t will
require severer logic and more convinc-
ing facts than the Sun employs to con-
vince the people of this country, that
they erred last fall in voting for the
maintenance of our protective system.
The Sun evidently has not yet recov-
cred from the disappointment of the
recent Presidential campaign.

The new Maryland Code, codifed by

The new Maryland Code, codifed by
John Prentiss Poe, having been duly
advertised, went into effect on Thurs
day, the 31st inst, superseding all for
mer codes as the recognized laws Of
the state, general and local. One
prominent feature of the new code, OF
particular importance to the colored
people, is the elimination of the word
"white" in the bastardly law. The
legislature refused to pass the bill strik
ing out the obnoxious word, but, Mr..
Poe having eliminated it in the new
code, the legislature adopted the law
as thus presented without discussion.
So that now the colored woman stands
on an equal footing with the white wo-
man as regards the law Of bastardy.

PASTOR BAYLTS's VICTORY.
He Resigns and Is Hired Over Again b.
the Faith Curists.

He Resigns and Is Hired Over Again by
the Faith Curists.
Only thirty-five members of Brother E.
Eben Baylis's faith cure flock made their
way to the regular congregational meet
ing in the Bergen Avenue Wigwam last
night. 1t was called a ~"tegular" meeting,
but there are grave suspicious that the
meeting was in a measure provoked by the
| dispute between Rev. MI. Baylis and Sun
dayschool Superintendent Seage over the
ownership of the little throng Of scholars.
In his opening prayer Rev. Mr.. Baylis
broadly intimated to the Lord that he CON
templated resigning. and that he would be
pleased when the Lord put it into he
hearts of his followers to beg him to stay.
Then he read the statement of the finan-
cial condition OF the congregation. The
chief feature or the report was deficiency
of S55.
Having dispatched these preliminaries,
Rev. Mr., Baylis got down to business. He
| denounced the church members who gave
the stories of the diSSensions in his flock
to the public prints, and discanted upon
the impudence of a Journal reporter who
had found fault with him for not giving
the Journal a "beat" on the story of the
differences about the Sunday School man.

to resign.
A feeble old lady, not a member of the
church. who had presented herself only in
the interests of harmony, cried as she i'm
plored her people to see their way clear to
keeping Mr.. Baylis.
Another lady parishioner was so affected
that she could only cry as she stood before
the audience to plead for the pastor.
Mr.. Baylis was requested, by a vote of
II to 2, to withdraw his resignation. The
vote was not large enough to please the
pastor, and his request for another vote
brought Brother Howe to his feet with the
observation that when Mr.. Baylis n
nounced his resignation he spoke for the
Lord, but that il he ir~econsidered it he
would be speaking for himself.
In spite of this the motion that Mr.. Bay
lis remain in charge of the flock was car
ried by an overwhelming majority.
And the meeting came to q close.

The Poet FreehoIder.

Freebooter Smith is q charmingly
good natured man. Not content with
having enriched the literature of this
community with his now noted poem
on "How the Girls Kiss" he has
further filed a long felt and well rec
ognized want.
There were many young men who
did not dare, in their natural Jersey
timidity, to find out for themselves
how the girls from different parts of
the county distributed their labial
favors. These owe to the poet a debt OF
deep gratitude for the information he
has impaired.
AS for the girls, they are looking for
Freeholder Smith.
If woman suffrage ever becomes the
order of the day, the poet Freebooter
will go to the first national convention
with a practically unanimous dele
cation from New Jersey at his back.
At present it is not his back, but his
scalp that the girls are looking for.
Especially the West Hoboken girls.

Freebooter Smith dares to show his
face in West Hoboken he will probably
be smothered to death.
