> THE Samoan affair is not the first insult
ing slap that Bismarck has given US. FROM
the moment that he became the ruler Of
united Germany he began to display active
hostility toward US. The blow he gave our
industries by his summary exclusion of our
hog products would have been deemed suffi-
Gent grounds for war by England if she had
been struck that way. With one sweep of
the pen, in gross disregard of treaties and
good faith, and without pretext, he cut off
nearly $15,000000 of our annual exports to
Germany. We would have had no right to
complain if he had treated US the same
as other Nations, but he expressly sin
gled out American pork, and We meebly
stood it. Our politicians clustered little,
but very little; for they were terribly afraid
they would "lose the German vote" if they
said too much. Both parties were equally
timid in this respect, and both taCitly agreed
to pocket the insult without whimper.
This was discreditable to- them and I'M
worthy of our German fellow-citizens, for it
assumed that these latter had less regard
for our National dignity and our general in
terests than native citizens, which is grossly
untrue. Our German-bOrn citizens are just
as loyal to the country as those native to
the soil, and if it came to actual war with
Germany we should find as large proper
! ton of them rallyiug around the flag as of
natives. Bismarck has undoubtedly calcu-
lated upon this dread of losing the German
vote to make our politicians and Congress
swallow doses that he dare not offer any
other Nation. Now, we think, he viii find
that he is going too far.
The National tribune., 1889-01-31
WHERE WE STAND.

There can be no mistaking THE NATIONAL
TRIBUEE's position in regard to pensions.
We have always believed that the Nation
cannot do too much for the men who saved
its life and for their dependent ones. No
pension that will be given any class of veter
ans will be as much as they actually earned
by their service in the field. "The one debt
which this Nation never can pay is that
owed to its soldiers"
We believe that every man who so served
should have pension of at least So month
during the rest of his life. Where he served
long time, or where he is now suffering
from disability, his pension should be made
greater in proportion to his length of serv-
ice or his disability.
We believe that bounties should be
equalized, and that at once The length of
time that the Government has delayed this
act of common justice is shameful.
We believe that the Ubiquitous arrears of
pension limitation should be repealed.
We believe that every pensioners widow
should have his pension continued, without
the necessity of proving that his death was
due to his service
We believe that all prisoners of war should
receive at least the per-diem allowance
asked for them by the National Prisoners OF
War Association.
These are the preliminary steps toward
justice to the men who saved the Nations
life.

TRANSITIONS 40 ARMY NURsEs.

Last Monday Senator Blair, of New Hamp-
shire, called up the bin for the pensioning
of Army Nurses which was reported a year
ago, and asked unanimous consent for its
immediate consideration. Some changes had
been made in the original bill, and it stood
as follows:
That all women nurses during the late war and
prior TO Aug. 4, 1865, who were approved by Miss
ID. L. Dix, Superintendent of women nurses" or
her authorized agents, or specially appointed by
the Surgeon-GenerGl or other proper United States
authority, and who rendered six-months' service
such, or Who prior to the completion of such
term Of service disabled in such service
and honorably discharged by reason OF such dis
ability, shall be granted pension during life at
the rate of SIS per month from the passage of this
act, according TO such rulesan regulations as may
be prescribed by the Secretary of the Interior.
Sec 2. That such women nurses as are now re-
ceiving pensions under special or general laws at
less rate than SIS per month, and may be entitled
to the benefits OF this act. may, on proper appllea
cation to the Commissioners of Pensions, receive the
said sum of SIS per month.
Senator Edmunds asked why discrim-
ination was made in favor of female nurses
as against males. Undoubtedly there were
many of these quite as much entitled to pen
sions as the women who took care of our sick
and wounded.
Senator Blair said he did not propose to
debate the question. This was measure OF
relief to very deserving class, and the only
chance of getting them anything this session
was to pass the bill just as it WAS All OF
them are dependent, and all quite old, so
that time was valuable
Senator Cockrell, of Missouri, read the
following letter from Mrs. Kate B. Sherwood,
dated Toledo, O., Jan. 13, 1889:
DEAR SIR: Last Winter when our bill to pension
women who served as Army Nurses was brought
up by Gen. Blair it met with serious opposition on
the grounds that it was an indiscriminate measure
and the War Department could not Tor did not
furnish list of the women properly commits
stoned
To meet this objection the Woman's Relief Corp;
have undertaken to ascertain the real condition OF
the women who held commissions through MISS
Dix, Mr. Yeatman, others of United States SAM
tary Service, by sending out the blank herewith
attached. Upwards of 100 well-authenticated cases
are now before us, and am satisfied that the total
number who would be benefited under the ac'
would be but a few hundred.
OF the number before over so are women
old and destitute. the most having become en-
] rolled when women under 80 were not received
Their ages run from 60 TO SO. Some of them have
had no assistance this Winter save a small sun
| from the Relief Corps. These women were the
healers the CHASTITY fields where their brothers
were the smters. Their service was to humanity
May we ask your cooperation when Gen. Blair
| brings up this bill?

mere question Of ascendaney in the Samoan
Islands. 1t is whether we shall maintain
ourselves anywhere and upon any sea. If
we yield in Samoa we must yield every
where, and give up all idea of being a mari
time power, or of protecting interests that
our citizens may acquire beyond our bound
aries. We viii never have anywhere better
claim than we have in Samoa, and we may
as well begin to assert ourselves now, if we
are ever going to do so. The whole world
is watching to see whether we will back
down or not. If we cover now before Ger
many, it viii be an invitation to every nation
that has an armed vessel adoat to insult us
with impunity, and we may as well disman-
tie our Navy and retire from commerce. We
have been entirely too forbearing in the years
since the war, and the result is that we have
no prestige anywhere. Secretary Whitney
represents in his position the feeling of our
naval officers, who have long chafed under
the oyer-paciic policy to which we have
been condemned. They do not want war,
but they want our flag as fully respected,
wherever it is shown, as are the flags ofGreat
Britain, France, Germany, Russia, Italy, and
Austria. 1t win not be necessary to fight to
secure this, only to show that we viii fight
if we are crowded. Until we do this it is
idle to hope for commerce or shipping.
The National tribune., 1889-01-31

SHALL we have ambassadors" to Great
Britain, France, Germany, and Russia, or
merely ENJOYS Extraordinary and Ministers
PIenipotentiary," as at present? The majority
of the Senators seem to think that the change
is necessary, in order to give our representa-
tives at those courts a standing worthy Of the
country. Senator Plumb believes, on the other
hand, that it is an unworthy concession to
senseless etiquet that the standing of diplo-
mat is given by the greatness of his country,
and not upon any title which is bestowed upon
him. Much can be, and is, well said on both
sides. If we chose to call the Commander-iH-
Chief of our Army a % Colonel" he would be
Commander-in- Chief all the same; but when
it came to intercourse with foreigners, it would
be more convenient to designate him by title
which would place him equality with the
heads of other armies. 1t is largely question
of convenience. If there IS any diplomatic adj
vantage to be gotten by calling our Ministers to
first-class powers "Embassadors" let US do it.
The New York Sun and the Chicago Tribune
are wrestling with a subject of grayer intEicacy
than the Samoan situation.
The san states it:
There is no such thing known in the English
language as pair OF pantaloons.
The Chicago Trijans's salaried humorist re-
torts:
Oh, yes, there is, Two clowns in pantomime
may be spoken OF pair of pantaloons without
doing any violence to the English language.
But, in spite of these wise gentlemen, f." pair
of pantaloOns " is entirely proper, because sane
toned by etymology and usage. The fact that
the two main portions of the garment are
united at the top does not deprive them Of
their plural character any more than it does a
pair of tongs. Worcester says that pantalOons
are plural, and Webster defines pantaloon:
One of the pair of outer coverings for the legs
worn by males answering the purpose OF breaches
or short clothes and stockings together 8 One
OF the long, loose coverings for the legs worn by
males, reaching from the waist to the heel.
The assertion that the upper part of the gar
ment is so essential as to make it the main
portion will not pass unquestioned. The first
thing that an Indian does after receiving an
issue of Government clothing is to cut away
what other men regard as very essential to 8
satisfactory pair of pantalOOns.

DO YOUR BEST.

The probability of an extra session of
Congress daily becomes greater, and this
contingency renders it very important to the
veterans that the circulation of THE Ma
TIoNAL TRIBUNE be swelled at once to the
highest number possible To do this will be
the most effective way to aid in promoting
proper pension legislation. The Members of
thenext Congress will look to THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE to express the views and wishes of
the great body of veterans and their friends.
They viii study its arguments, heed its ad-
monitions, and consider its opinions on all
proposed legislation. The more subscribers
it has, the more effectually it can represent
the veterans, and the more powerful will be
its influence in getting for the comrades
what they should have It stands now as
the sole champion and advocate of the vet
Grams among the great and influential papers
of the country. The result of the elections
has added enormously to its power and in
fiuenee. All that is lacking to make its adj
vocacy Of their rights effective in the high
est degree is to have on its subscription list
virtually every old soldier in the Nation.
This can be secured if every man who
wishes well for his comrades will do some
thing. Everyone knows some one who is not
taking the paper but who should do SO. Let
him interest himself enough in his comrades
welfare to make the effort to secure this
man for subscriber. BY little work from
all our subscription list can be doubled be-
fore March 4, and the effectiveness of the
paper quadrupled.
This will be better work toward securing
pension legislation than making speeches,
circulating petitions or sending on delega-
tons. THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE makes
speeches every week that go right to the
understanding of those to whom they are
addressed. 1t is better than petitions, for
every issue is petition, which is signed by
$4,000 old soldiers. tits better than Wis
iting delegation, because it is here all the
time, visits the Congressman every week,
and plies them with convincing arguments
On vital points.
Therefore, comrades, let every one of you
make ready for the coming campaign by a
tour of recruiting duty for THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE. Make sure that you bring in at
least one new recruit and squad of them
If you can. Then the future will be secure

Or SAMOAN POLICY.

OUR SAMOAN POLICY.
There is unquestionably divergence of
views between Secretaries Bayard and
Whitney over the Samoan question. As to
the extent of this there are various rumors.
The two Secretaries are in harmony as to the
necessity of maintaining the National dig
nifty, but differ somewhat as to the methods.
Secretary Bayard, true to the traditions of
his Department, relies upon further notes
and "letters" and requests for explana-
tons" Secretary Whitney, representing
one of the fighting Departments, would make
further communications as prompt and cate
gorical as a challenge on the picket-line
It is asserted that the divergence of views has
become so marked that Secretary Whitney
has offered his resignation as the alternative
of the non-adoption Of his policy. If the
difference be as stated, the sympathies of
the people are decidedly with Secretary
Whitney. Secretary Bayard has been re-
monstrating" and requesting" now for
four years, and he certainly cannot put the
matter any more forcibly than he has al
ready done in several letters. Bismarck has
steadily pursued his policy of aggression in
contempt of these. He has been quite regu-
lar in assuring Mr. Bayard of his " dis
tinguished consideration and in "hoping
for the continuance of the amicable rela-
tons which have always existed between
Germany and the United States y; but while
amusing our State Department with fine
words, he has steadily pushed forward his
schemes for controlling the islands in de
fiance Of the express understanding with The
United States. Secretary Whitney, who il
not so much of diplomat, but very mucl
Of business man, thinks it high time t.
end this fol-de-pol with something direc
and tangible. He would have the Govern
nent say in few words just what it mean
to have done in Samoa, and then send in
structions to our naval officers there to sc
that its wishes are strictly observed. Thi
VIII end the matter at once. Germany doe
not propose to fight us about the islands, bu
she does propose to push matters just as IA
rs she can without fighting, or seeming I
retreat before a threat of war.
! Vastly more is involved in this than til
