More amiable telegrams than those
 received from Berlin within the past
 few days have scarcely ever passed
 beneath the Atlantic. Count Her.
 bert Bismarck, we are told, will cordially greet Messrs. Bates and
 Sewall, despite their personal pre- judices on the questions to come before the conference. At the same time regret is decorously expressed that the United States should have sent representatives of such settled and expressed views. This same mild-mannered count, we are fur ther told, has prepared a statement as basis for discussion which has been submitted to the British am-
 bassador and approved by him.
 Perhaps it is our recollection of events which happened so many as three or even four years ago that makes such we'll timed friendliness rather pail upon our palate. If we may not send Messrs. Bates and Sewall to Berlin, we ask how Ger many will excuse returning to Sa- moa as consul Herr Steubel, who compelled Malietoa to abdicate? The word and the deed do not go we'll together. Others may read differently the fine phrases limiting the scope of the conference (by Anglo-German agreement) to al- most everything except what Amer jeans have regarded as the kernel of the dispute. Thus, it is most grat- flying to be told that Germany wish es nothing to do with the internal affairs of Samoa. But how does this information comport with the fact that the elected King of Samoa was taken literally to the antipodes of his kingdom on a German war ship, and that nothing is now said about his return, even in this era of good feeling? We admit 1t would be awkward to send him back, be- cause of the necessity of explaining how and why he was taken away; or is it excuse enough that it IS in- expedient to throw him and Dr. Steubel together again? Fine words butter no parsnips. If Bismarck really wishes to pose as the friend of the United States let him frank ly and thoroughly restore the status quo. And, instead of censuring underlings, let his son explain why, on the eve of the conference, he an nounces that England has approv- ed scheme of action which was not submitted to the United States. It is easy to err in diplomatic nice ties, and yet it seems to us that Mr. Bates's expression of opinion before he was appointed a commissioner was a venial error compared with Count Bismarck's announcement, in courteous phrase that he had arranged to count out the United States.-New York Times.

Some Political Straws.

Governor Hills visit to Washington
is sign that the future economic pol-
ICY OF the Democratic party is not to
Oe adjusted according to the Texas
idea. When Governor Hill reached
Washington his first call was not at the
White House, but upon Samuel ].
Randall, whom he is reported to have
| designated as the greatest Democrat. "
Indeed, Governor Hill did not find
time to call at the White House at all.
but was the guest of Secretary Whit
ney: Mr.. Whitney gave a dinner in
MS honor which the President and
Mrs. Cleveland attended. All reports
agree that at this dinner the President
and the Governor were very polite and
stiff toward each other, and as soon as
the coffee appeared the President and
his wife took the train for New York
on a little trip of hOuse-hunting.
A more significant fact occurred on
the following day, when Secretary
whitney gave a reception in honor of
the Governor of New York. At this
reception there was very large at
tendance of Democratic senators and
representatives, making a most effec-
t-SO " tLAO al dOoCuG6 OF
these gentlemen, as reported, at a re-
cent reception given by President
Cleveland. Mr.. Smith Weed of New
York was on hand, and generally
there was very considerable gather
ing around Secretary Whitney and
Governor Hill of all those men who are
known to favor the Randall economic
idea as distinguished from the "reve-
nue. reform" plan of Texas and Ken
lucky.
The defeat OF the Mills bill at the last
Presidential election is going to be at
tended by other consequences than the
election of General Harrison and the
return of the Republicans to national
power. The original lines marked out
by President Cleveland and his South
era free trade friends for the Democrat
ic party in 1888 are going to be effaced.
and a strong effort made by the old
leaders of the Tilden school to plant
the Democratic party on the frmer
ground of tariff for revenue with in
cidental protection. The new policy
is one of repentance and reformation.
and it has the political disadvantage of
being very poor imitation of the gen

Republican patty. Such as it is, how

Dover's Wants.

Dover looks upon a session of the

Yankees, or as Lewes wreckers uDon a
tempest-as something from which
they may fatten. The residents of the
State capital will argue with much
cunning, if not with actual ability. for
economy in the management of state
and county affai rs whenever an aDDro-
prlatlon is proposed for any other sec
Ilon or location of the State than their
own, but let the proposition be to spend
money IN or near Dover, and an appro-
prlatlon will be shown to be a necessi-
W as well as matter in which Della
wareans should take a proper pride
Hence 1t Is argued that the exDendi-
Iure OF $4,000 for an insane asvlnm at
farnnurst is too much money to spend
ana rigid economy is insisted upon as
wise party policy if for no other rea-
son. 90 Slow" is the cry. But the
proposition to build State House alta
cost OF quarter of million of dollars
meets with the hearty approval of the
people OF Dover. They also want a
stately monument erected on the Green

There will be Prohibition campaigns
IN three Eastern States this year
Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and New
Hampshire. In the two States first
named there is a good deal of anxious
discussion as to how the campaign for
prohibition shall be conducted-whetb-
er the Third party shall as an organi-
zatiOn take The field for the amend
ment, or simply allow itself to be
merged in the general movement.
When the Third party State Commit
tee met in Boston the other day sew
eral prominent members argued that
Massachusetts, was not ready for Pro-
hibition, and that it could not be en-
forced until the Third party member
ship was large enough to convince a
majority of the people that Prohibition
is desirable. This would seem to indi.
cate more anxiety to keep the Third
party intact than to test popular faith
in Prohibition.
