MILIETOA'S RETURN.

The probability Of Malietoas speedy restora-
ton to the Samoan throne rcvivcs public inter
est in the vicissitudes of his career. The lowest
Doint of his fortunes was reached on August
10, 1887, when German squadron entered
Apia, and pcremptory demand was made for
an abject apology and the payment OF large
indemnity. He asked for q brief respite, in
order that he might have time to consider the
situation. No delay was granted. Germany
through its Consul-General and naval com
mander declared war on the King. Malietoa
and his closest adherents took refuge in tho
mountains. Tamasese who had been in revolt
against him, was carried TO Apia and proclaimed
King under the guns Of the German fleet. For
three weeks MaletOa remained in cOnccamcnt.
The property of many Of his followers was con-
Gsated; several Samoan villages were burned ;
and war was declared against all who befrendcd
him. Maetoa in order to avert further blood
shed, gave himself UP to the German Consul
General and was taken as prisoner OF war on
hoard the Bismarck. the flagship OF the squad
ron. For nearly two years he has been an ex-
lie from his native islands. lie is now at

Maletoa's misfortrncs were caused by the
free use made by him OF English and American
advice. In the first instance he took counsel
from Mr.. Rees and the English Consul and &c
cepted the protection Of the American flag.
Mr.. Greenebaums action was promptly dis
avowed by Mr.. Bayard, the American flag was
lowered, and German intrigues aud civil war
against him were instigated. Then he went to
Mr.. Greenebaum's successor for advice. Mr..

confession of ito oowardice and inefflcienoy by
referring the question Of prison systems to q
popular vote That Democratic Legislature
backed by Democratic Executive, was afforded
a golden opportunity to redeem its profuse
pledges to free labor. But tho pledges were SO
many shams and it is not strange that they were
npudated.
Tho Legislature of / ss was guilty of no such
demsgogical conduct. The Fassett bill was the
result of the determination of the Republican
majority to create prison policy which should
provide constant work for the convicts, which
should interfere as little as possible with free
labor and which should be fairly satisfactory TO
the taxpayers. The duty was grave and per-
picking one and it was faithfully discharged.
The Governor signed the bill under protest, but
since It provides for substantial reform it is
rather strange considering his record that he did
not veto IL.

THE TWO PARTIES AND TIE PRISONS

In the memorandum which he attached to his
approval Of the Fassett Prison bill, Governor
Hill says: The Legislature should have itself
determined definitely the exact system Of labor
which the State proposes or desires to adopt, in
stead Of having shifted that responsibility upon
State official" The point is not well taken.
There is good in all the prison labor systems,
and no one is all good. Under the provisions Of
the Fassett bill the Superintendent OF Prisons
can adopt either the State account system or the
piece plan system in his discretion. In the
nature Of things he is the best Judge, or ought to
be tho best Judge, Of the relative merits OF the
systems lie can subject them 70 an exhaustive
practical test-somcthing which the Legislature
could not do The facts submitted to the Prison
Committees Of tho two houses to guide them in
preparing the necessary legislation were con-
dcting. Mr.. Lathrop's predecessor in the
Prison SUPPLEMENTARY was firm believer in
the contract system. The State account system
| or the piece plan system is the first choice OF
| other experienced prison officials. II was tho
part Of wisdom. therefore, TO invest the Superin
| tendcnt Of State Prisons with large discetiO2ary
| power. The Legislature did perfectly right.
How amusing it is to hear Democratic Gov
| ernor complain because the Legislature did not
determine definitely" the eXact system Of labor
| for the prisons A few years ago the Legislature
was Democratic in both its branches and the
bills which il passed went to a Democratic Gov
ernor For many years previous to the election
Of this body, Democratic stump-speakers and
Democratic organs promised over and over
again that IL their party obtained control Of the
| Legislature the prison problem would be solved
TO the satisfaction Of everybody in general and
Of " free labor" in particular. That was the oft
repeated Democratic promise. Did the Demo-
cratic Legislature Of 1888 carry it outP Did
that Legislature definitely determine the
exact system OF labor which the State proposes
or desires to adopt? Not at all. 1t addressed
itself to the prison problem only to evade it.

DANGERS FROM CARELESS BLASTING.

DANGERS FROM CARELESS BLASTING.
The explosion that nearly ruined the band
some house Of Mr.. c. w. French, in West
Sxtieth-st., on Friday afternoon, should serve
as warning against the dangers that are con-
stantly threatening persons living in that ana
other new portions Of the city from Negligent
blasting There arc ordinances which are meant
TO serve as protection against the reckless
ness of careless blasters, and the police are in
structed to inspect all places where blasting is
going on and to insist upon the observance OF
the legal requirements. But, in the first place,
these ordinances and laws arc themselves de-
fective in their provisions. Even il they were
followed TO the letter. the lives as well AZ the
property Of those who live in that pleasant
part Of the city that lies west Of Central Park
would still be mcnaced daily by the probability
Of seeing huge stones hurled through their win
dows or having their walls shaken and rem
dered unsafe by explosions. Besides, II is i'm
practicable for the officers of the police force
to maintain such surveillance over all places
where blasting is done as to insure the enforce
ment Of tho ordinance. At all events, IL Is not
done.
Ono has only DO pay a casual visit to some OF
the spots where the huge rocks Of this island
are being made TO give way to blocks of hand
some private residences and apartmcnt-hOuse'
TO satisfy himself that something moro Is 70
quircd to give necessary protection from the
effects Of reckless blasting. II Is true that In
such q case as the explosion at MIR. French's
house proof Of the careleSsness OF the wockmen
might be sufficient 10 cStablis the legal liability
OF the contractor TO make good tho damage.
And there have been various instances wher"
such rights have been enforced in the courts,
including the recovery Of damages by the per
sonal representatives Of those killed by ncgli-
gent blasting. But in many cases the con
tractors doing such work arc persons OF no
financial responsibility, being merely tho repro
sentatives or dummies" for others who in
this way seek to avoid liability. Moreover.
the lives or limbs OF citizens in such great city
as New York should be guarded in some mOrn
efficient way than by prospect of recovering
money damages from the wrongdocrs.
All blasting within the city limits should be
carried on under such official supervision and
control as to render impossible a repetition Of
tho occurrence in SiNtcth-st. on Friday, and
those guilty OF negligence in blasting should
suffer severe penalties under the criminal law.
The steady advance OF the city nOrthward
makes it essential that the great bouldcrs and
hills Of rock that stand in the way Of tho com
ing streets shall disappear. But the city can
not afford to have this done at n sacrifice Of
life or any unnecessary destruction Of other
property.

TO prevent hostilities in the isisnds ana III ui"D
way 10 promote the success OF the approacnihg
conference. Accordingly, he strongly ADVISED
Ma,ietoa against suppressing Tamasoses re-
be,,,on which had been melted by the Germans.
T. would have been easy at the outset to dis
nerse Tamasese's followers, and the King was
anrious TO do so; but the American and English
Consuls held him back and gave to him en-
nbatio assurances that their Governments
would stand by him and make his cause their
own. Tamaseses rebellion became more and
more formidable The conference was held in
Washington, and the German demand for ex-
elusive control Of the administration of tho
islands was seconded by England. The ses-
sions of the conference were temporarily sus-
pended and rs soon as orders could be sent by
cable the naval squadron swooped down upon
Apia and carried off poor Malietoa prisoner
Of war. Tamasese reigned in his place.
Maietoa reminded Mr.. Sewall Of the bad
faith of American diplomacy when he went on
beard tho Bismarck. He told the truth when
he held the United States and English Consuls
responsible for his degradation. They had not
allowed him to suppress Tamasese's rebellion
when he was anxious to defend his throne.
Acting under instructions from their Govern
ments, they had promised assistance and pro-
lection IL he would await the decision OF the
conference and not go to war with the rebels.
When the crisis of his fortunes came, neither
the American nor the English Government
kept faith with him. There were mild diplo-
matte protests against the operations OF tho
German Naval and Consular authorities. Ac-
ton was wanting. Mr. Bayard meeky sub
mitted to the affront that had been put upon
the United States by the deposition OF Maietoa
when the work Of the conference was still I'M
finished. There was diplomatic correspondence
by the ream, but this did not mend the un-
happy Kings fortunes. lie was abandoned to
his fate. Happily, with change Of Admins
tration the pledges made by Mr.. Sewall, with
the approval of Mr.. Bayard, have at last been
fulfilled. The United States Government has
befrended Samoa, obtained substantial Justice
for the natives, relieved them from the menace
of foreign intervention, and at last restored
Malietoa to his throne.
