in direct conflict with powers conferred
upon the representatives Of the three
treaty nations. Soon after the Nipsic ar
rived at Latonga Captain Mullan, with
three Of the ship officers snt on board
the Adler To demand Consul Knappe's
reason for having declared his intention
70 stop the war without consulting the
Consuls,
pIscouRTRsY,
The German Consul replied to Captain
Mullan, and said he would hold no com,
mInlcation with an American naval
Captain, and would be responsible for
his acts to his Government. Soon after
this the Captain Of the Adler sent word
to Captain Mullan, who had returned TO
the NipsiC, that he intended to bombard
Lady before dark,
On the afternoon OF December 20, the
three Consuls met to arrive at some set
tlement OF the trouble, Mataafa's pres
enCe was desired by the United States
and the British Consuls, but the Ger
man Consul refused to meet him, and
the meeting had no result,
On the following day the German
Consul issued q proclamation ordering
the Samoans to bring their firearms on
board the Olga during the day, and that
II this was not done the ship would
bombard tho village Of Matafagatele.
Consul Blackjack at once returned q
protest, and at the same time Informed
him that Z. L. Hamilton, an American
citizen, and formerly the United States
Vice Consul In Apia, owned three
houses in Matatagatele, over which the
American flag had been placed, and ad-
ding that II this property was damaged,

About 7 o'clock on the morning OF the

o'clock she began throwing shells, no
Samoans having come on board with

THE PROHIBITION POCKET NERVE.

The Prohibition Record of April CON
tains some interesting figures. The
Record is the official bulletin of the
national Prohibition committee, and the
issue mentioned contains a statement of
the receipts and disbursements of the
national t~hird-party executive commit
tee from the time of appointment at the
Indianapolis convention, inMay, 1888, to
Jan. %, 1889. From a bOOk-keeper's
standpoint the showing is a very neat
one. The sum total of cash received
was $33, 73.92. Of this, $1S,757 was
pledged at the Indianapolis convention,
though but $7s.17 was actually collected
at that time. The third party, as is well
known, has many vOciferous members
and supporters in Indiana, but the de-
tailed account of contributionsfrom resi-
dents of this State shows a distressing
failure of the lOudest and most vOcally
active members to respond to the finan-
cial call. Indiana's contribution to the
national third-party fund is given as
$699.10. OF this amount, $500 was given
by n man, 800 by another and $50 by
a third. Shelby county is Jumped at $40
and Gibson county at 1926. Seventy
two persons put down their names for
So each and a. dozen more for odd
sums varying from So to % cents.
A careful perusal of the list fails to
show a cent contributed by any of the
men who are most vehementin denuncia-
ton of the old parties, and who show
the greatest anxiety to be at the front of
the t~hird-party ranks. Their earnest
ness 10 reform the world according to
the third-party plan evidently does not
affect the pocket nerve" The outlay
of this fund, as given in the account, is
a matter of some interest. 1t is shown
that $1,000 was expended for subscrip-
tions to the Voice, to be sent to clergy
men. Three thousand and over went for
miscellaneous prohibition literature"
the exact nature of which is not
described. There was also a moderate
outlay for postage, expressage, etc. The
smallness of this expenditure is perhaps
explained by the circumstance that the
Voice and other third-party documents
were carefully folded in Repub-
lican newspapers by Obliging DEM

THERE are indications of another
great land and emigration movement be-
fore many months that will quite sur
pass In magnitude that of Oklahoma.
We refer to the probable opening of the
Sioux reservation, in Dakota. This i'm
mense reservation is nearly equal in ex-
tent to the entire Indian Territory, and
embraces the best part of Dakota. The
tide of emigration has pushed up against
and swept around it for years past, but
all efforts to have it opened for settle
ment have failed. A bill, passed neal
the close of the last session of Congress,
provided for the appointment of COM
mlsslOners to negotiate with the Indians
relative to a sale or cessiOn of part of
their lands, and for the creation of a
cash fund for their support. The COM
missiOners will probably be appointed
by the President within a few days, and
it is believed an agreement can be
reached with the Indians before mid
summer which will result in opening the
lands for settlement. If this negotiation
succeeds, the area of country opened to
settlement will be vastly greater than
that of Oklahoma, and the lands at least
as valuable.

ocratic postmasters, and by that
means obtained free circulation. No def
mite statement is made of the amount
contributed to the fund by the Demo-
cratic committee, but this, perhaps, be-
longs to another branch of the party ac-
counts yet to be audited. tits also prob
able that it is not the duty of this COM
mittee to explain why nearly $1,000 was
expended for campaign work in the
North, and but $4,000 in the Southern
States. Some of these matters will per-
haps be mentioned later on. In the
meantime, it is gratifying to know that
a cash balance of $275.96 remains on
hand-nOt including, of course, any
sums on separate account from Demo-
cratic sources.

Down in southern Pennsylvania,
where cider-making is an important in
dustry, and the apple crop a valuable
source of income, the farmers have been
informed by the temperance workers
that the success of the %prOhibitOry
amendment now pending will not inter-
fere with the manufacture of the pOmO-
logical beverage. Upon this understand
ing alone are they willing to vote for the
amendment. The decision of the court
in an Iowa liquor case that under the
prOhibitory law cider must be classed
with intoxicating liquors, since it is
certainly of an Intoxicating character at
a certain stage of its existence, will
probably disturb the serenity of the
sturdy Pennsylvania Dutchmen if it
comes to their knowledge. They are
willing to abolish whisky, and are not
addicted to beer-drinking, but cider is
another matter. They have uses for
cider, and will not easily be persuaded
to put a legal ban on it.

hoped that Indianapolis will do her
share to relieve the distress in a Terri
tory which is distant as measured by
miles, but is near, not only by the ties OF
humanity, but by the fact that so many
Indianians have found homes there. The

If it be true, as rumOred, that the
German and United States governments
have jointly agreed to send no more war
vessels to Samoa until after the result
of the Berlin conference is announced,
they have done IN eminently wise thing.
The extraordinary disaster by which the
ships of both governments stationed at
Samoa were destroyed left them on an
equality in respect of armament, and
there is no reason why they should not
continue SO. Such an agreement as that
referred to would not only preserve the
status quo, but would ave both gov
ernments considerable expense, and,
perhaps, furnish the best solution of
pending QuestionsJ The trouble at
Samoa has angrown out of foreign med
ding with Samoan affairs, and a COM
plete withdrawal of German influence
for a few months would be the best
thing that could happen.

The convention of Alabama Republic
n and protectionists was to meet in
Birmingham yesterday. A Birmingham
special to the Louisville Courier-Journal
says:
The Republican convention Tomorrow
promises to be exceedingly lively. Those
who have been disposed to laugh down the
white mans Republican party" seem a lit
tie inclined to consider it more seriously.
The indications point to a larger and
stronger convention than was at first sup
posed. All of the heavy Republican moguls
IN the State are in the city.
Read between the lines this means that
Democrats are alarmed at the extent of
the movement. Every well-wisher of
the South should wish it success, for it's
real object is the Ob~literation of the color
line, the division of the cOlOred vote and
the elimination of the race issue from
Southern politics. That would be the
end of the solid South.

it has repealed the local-option law,
