SENATOR SHERMAN, chairman OF the
Committee on Foreign Affairs, say
that We ought TO take Pangopango, IN
the Samoan Islands, which we have a
right 10. ~ r coaling station. The Sena.
tors Pangopango policy is sound, and
doubtless in the executive session OF the
Senate there will be wise words As 10 the
Samoan difficulty The first point is that
the United States should have navy be-
fore undertaking very lively foreign
a. +. ICY, and, as we know quite dis
tino,gurow that most effective
navy can be made quickly, the
sooner Il Is done the better for our safety
and our dignity. IL is true that Samoa
is long way of in the Pacific ocean,
but when Germany stretches ont her
mailed hand 10 seize ii, everybody knows
that it is for the purpose Of establishing
a strong naval station there.
In the policy OF nations the idea is TO
require a certain regard for the free use
of the ocean highways, and naturally the
Americans think that II the Germans
hold Samoa the way might not DO as clear
and free as one would wish, unless we
chose TO agree with the German idea OF
freedom.

on an incoming Baltimore and ONO
train the other morning. y travelling
man boarded the train about daylight
nj a station a few mills out of the city.
Being communicative, he engaged his
seat mate, a gentleman, in converse
ton. ascertaining before many mn
utes that he was Just from New Haven.
With all the volubility of his tribe aud
the enthusiasm Of the average Chica-
eoan. he began to discourse on the
wonderful growth and enterprise OF
the northwest in general and Chicago
in particular, contrasting it with the
slow going east" to use his own
phrase. I've only lived here three
years. said he. but, | tell YOU, I've
seen improvements enough IN that
short time to make your eastern lei
lows heads swim"
Then. rs the train wound slowly
along the lake shore, he pointed out
numerous recent Improvements, yar-
Gus localities that had under ms
observation been transformed from
sandy wastes or bowling wilderness
TO city boulevards and handsome
dwellings, all the time watching his
listeners face for signs Of astomsh-
ment. He, however, seemed either
obtuse or unappreciatige, and as the
train slowed up at the Twenty-second
street station, gathered up his belong
inOst TO leave the car. Have you ever

LORD SALISBURY seems 10 have his
eve on Boulanger, as he wants more iron
slads for the English navy, and assigns
ths following reasons:
Ministries are not absolutely perma-
nent; they change not infrequently, and
no one who ha7 not the gift OF prophecy
can foresee into whose hands the power
over tremendous ornaments may at any
time be placed.
As France and England arc the only
nations that suddenly change ministries,
Of course Lord Salisbury must mean
France when he expresses an alarm in
that direction.
England depends so much on the out
side world for her prosperity, and, in
fact, for her food supply, that there may
be good cause for alarm unless the Brit
isb navy is better than an American
critic, quoted in another column, pro-
nounces H. In case Lord Salisbury's APP
prehensions are justified, therefore, the
question would be how long il would
take TO provide a good navy, and as far
as we can judge, al least a year would
be necessary, and in the meantime the
startling fact remains that the French
navy seem to be better than the English.

SO the German Empire, Prince Bis
marck. has sent reinforcements TO Samoa
on the German Lloyd steamer Nurem-
berg.
Does the great chancellor really think
in the grandeur of his numerous iri-
umphs that a country of 6O,OOOOOO peo'
pie, and free people at that, are to be
bullied BY the time his reinforcements
arrive at Samoa the American force there
will be able to take care Of our interests
and there is not the slightest doubt that
the interests will be taken care Of. In
the meantime the people would like to
know What that secret agreement was
between this country and Germany and
Great Britain.
The average American does not want
TO get his back up without knowing OK
actly why, because the back being once
up, will be hard to get down again.
