The Samoan situation has become much
less serious. Warned by the menacing tone
of the American press and Congress, Bis
marck has prudently disavowed some of the
more offensive acts of the German represen-
tatives in Samoa, particularly the proclama-
ton of martial law. In fact, this was the
only wise course left him, and his prompt
acceptance of it showed craftsmanship. The
American temper was rapidly becoming
dangerous, and as he most certainly did not
care to drift into a war'about the islands, he
determined to beat retreat while that
course did not involve any sacrifice of Ma
tional dignity.
Now the problem is whether he has really
retired from his untenable position, or merely
desisted until the opportunity becomes more
propitious by the allaying of the excitement
This is the customary strategy of monarchi
cal powers in dealing with popular Govern
ments. Republics only move energetically
under the stress of a wave of popular feeling
By waiting till this has subsidized, and tn,
attention of the people directed to othe
matters, monarchy can resume its opera
lions and make considerable progress toward
the end desired before the popular antagon
ism is again aroused.
Bismarck does not offer to relinquish hi
attempts to secure German ascendancy il
the islands; he does not propose to desis
from forcing an unwelcome King upon tn
Samoans; he only says that he viii reyok
the proclamation of martial law agains
foreigners, and disavow any acts of hostilit,
against American interests
This will not suffice for the present. Gu
Government must insist upon restoration
of the status quo in the islands, and guar

1.-THE JOB WAS OPEN"

One cold day during the war slave was
standing before fire in Washington warm
ing himself
Where did you come from, Uncle?"
asked pro-slavery bystander.
From Culpeper, sab"
Leave your master?"
Yes, sab"
" Was he bad to you?"
"No, sab; very good, kind magtah, sah."
"Gave you all you wanted to eat and
wear, did hep"
@Yes, sab; never wanted for much of
anything, sab"
well, don't you think you'd be much
better of with him as slave, than clubbing
around Washington for yourself?"
Well, sab, the job up dab is open for
any one dat wants i" responded the negro
calmly, and in the laugh that went up the
admirer of slavery disappeared.
That tells the story very eloquently, not
only as TO slavery, but as to service in
the army during the war When any
one talks blatantly about the pay, boun-
ties, little danger or hardship of army
service, it is sufficient to say that the JOB
was open" to every able-bodied man in
the country, and yet there were hundreds
Of thousands whom no considerations of pa
triotism or duty could induce to 90 the
/ field even for three months. If the pay was
such q temptation, and the risks and hard
ships 80 little, why did not they avail them
selves Of the easy, profitable job?
- they had as little inclination to tread
the path Of duty and honor as the negro had
to return to slavery.
The truth was, enlistment in the army
meant sacriEce-terrible, unavoidable sacri
aoe, TO those who Gid it. 1t meant sacrific,
Of money to the money-loYing; it mean
sacrifice Of home to the hOme-loying;
meant sacrifice OF comfort to the comfort
loving; il meant sacrifice Of life 10 the life
loving. No man who entered the army wa
given anything ike the -equiyalen
Of the sacrifice be made, and to hundreds c
thousands all the money they received di
not represent a 1.-THE Of what they woul
have made at home had they not enlisted.
To pay every one Of these who yet SUI
Tive a service pension for the rest of his lifi

bilities or length of service, viii not retur
to him the money he surrendered when h
abandoned his profitable vocation to aceeI
/, the meager pay Of a soldier.
a Let us have a general service pension
: not less than S. month for every survive

e This is only scant justice.

LORD WoLsELEY. who had the hatred of
the English aristocracy toward the cause of
the Union, said recently that, toward the
close of the rebellion, two-thirds of the
soldiers of the North were mercenary allies
not of the Anglo-Saxon race" This shows
what liar an aristoerat can be when he
has malice to inspire him. We had, it is
true, many thousand soldiers of foreign
birth in our Armies-and good soldiers they
were, too-but they enlisted from as pure
patriotism as ever aetuated men in the
world. Large as their number was in the
aggregate, it was still, according to Gen.
Grant, not more than three per cent. of the
armies under his command.
The National tribune., 1889-02-07

IT seems to be decided that President
Cleveland will, upon his retirement from
Office, enter the law firm of Bangs, Stetson,
Tracy & MacYeagh of New York. His
name viii not appear in the style of the
firm, nor will he appear in court. He viii
take mp his residence in New York city and
settle down to the ordinary routine of bust
ness of a prosperous legal firm. The nego-
tiations for his entrance to the firm began
shortly after the election, and were con-
cluded about month ago This prompt re-
turn to the pursuits which he abandoned
when elected will be generally commended.
It is in harmony with the true American
idea of the proper course of ex-oficials of all
grades. They are called from their usual
voeations to serve the country, and when
they have finished that service it is fitting
that they return to their former walks of
life. A great deal of nonsense has been
written from time to time on What to Do
With Our Ext Presidents" mostly based on the
idea that after man has held that high
office he has become in some way one of the
Lords anointed, who cannot decently be
permitted to resume his usual calling, or
make himself as useful as the rest of his
fellow-citizens in private life. Such an idea
is wholly un-republican. 1t is not at all
necessary to the dignity Of the high office
that any man who has once held it must be
considered as consecrated, and forever set
apart from the rest of his fellows The Dig
nifty is in the Office itself, and not in the
man who temporarily fills it, or in his career
after he leaves it. All of Mr. Cleveland's
predecessors have taken this view, and the
people have applauded their graceful sub
sidence into private life.

Ex-Gov. ALGER FOR THE CABINET.

EX-Govs ALGER FOR THE CABINET.
The veterans have centered their hopes
of representative in Gen. Harrison's Cabi-
net upon Ex-GoY Russell A. Alger, of
Michigan.
Comrade Ayers war record was brilliant.
He enlisted a few days after the firing on
Fort Sumter, speedily became the Captain
of his company, and made his way up to
Brevet Major Generally by hard fighting and
effective service. He was twice severely
wounded, once taken prisoner, but escaped,
and was repeatedly cOmplimented in re-
ports for distinguished conduct on the field.
In civil pursuits he has achieved signal
success. By his own unaided abilities; by
energy, fOrethought and force of character
be has become one of the foremost business
men Ofthe country, esteemed everywhere for
fair dealing, largeness of comprehension,
uprightness and responsibility. Not only
would he be a strong man in council-bring-
to the discussion OF every question an unusual
mental power, and a wide range of practical
knowledge-but his character and standing
would be a tower of strength to the incom-
ing Administration
The veterans love and admire Gen. Alger
for his splendid soldiership and magnificent
business abilities, for his open-handed gen.
crosby to the poor and unfortunate, and for
his thorough Identification and sympathy
with his comrades of the late war. He is
their friend and representative in the same
sense and to the same extent that his life
long friend Gen. Logan was With him in
the Cabinet they win be sure of having a
man there whose friendship they can conf
1 IDENTIFY count on all the time; who thinks
and feels as they do on all questions; who
viii be their advocate and spokesman. and
who will lead them as ably and successfully
as he once led them in battle.
They believe that, considering how much
they did to bring Gen. Harrison into power
they should have such a representative il
his Cabinet, and Gen. Alger is the man they
would like to have represent them. The
appointment would make glad the hearts o
a million veterans.
