Aslietoa to be Returned.

A dayor two ago our dispatches stated
that the German gunboat Wolf would soon
60 to the Marshal islands for the purpose
of bringing Malietoa hack to Samoa. it
is probable therefore that Malietoa will
soon be restored To all the rights which he
enjoyed before Germany deported him
and elevated Tamaseee 10 the Samoan
throne.
II is not probable that there will be any
moro trouble in Samoa for long time. The
agreement reached by the Berlin conference
will be adhered q, aud the Samoans will be
protected in all their rights There is rea-
son for thinking that Germany never in
tended to occupy tie position in Samoa
which led to complications with this
country. She drifted into it, and was
GLAD Of chance to get out Of it honcrably
Doubtless she would have been little
better satisfied if an agreement between
herself, England and the United States
could have been reached, which would not
have required her to bring back MGlietoa,
but tbs United StateJ would not take step
in the negotiations until she had promised
to restore the depossd and deported king.
England supported tbs United States in this
position, and Germany, therefore, thoug4
it advisable to yield. She could do that
without any loss Of honor, because there
was nothing which justified the course
which she had pursued toward Maiistoa.
The United States was bound to see that
Malietoa was returned to his people, Any
agreement or treaty that did not provide
for this would stand no chance of being
ratified by the Senate.
Thero is reason for thinking that thu
SamcanS will now enjoy period OF pros
perity such as they have never yet known.
They are a quiet and industrious people,
and they will receive assistance from tits
country apd also from Germany and Eng
land. 1t may be that TamSsose will be
ugly for while, but he can accomplish
nothing. His followers have about all
left him, and as soon IS 1t is known in
Samoa that the Germans no longer have
any use for him he will be wholly deserted.
The outcome OF the Samoan difficulties
is creditablo to this country. Through the
efforts tegun under Mr.. Clsveland's ad
miDistration, and completed under Goa.
Harrisons, right has triumphed, and the
Semoans are assured of the privilege Of
managing their own affairs in whatever
manner seems TO them to be bast. or course
they will not be permitted TO infringe upon
the rights o. the foreigners who have set
tied among them, but their conduct in the
past justifes the conclusion that they have
no desire to do that.

The New York Press is not confident
that, even with the help of Chairman Quay
and BLOCKS of Five Dudley, the republi-
cans will carry the Third Louisiana dis
trict. 1t says: "It there is any reason after
the polls shall have been closed to believe
that the election has been unfair, let the
man holding the certificate stay outside till
the case is investigated. Congress is the
constitutional judge of the qualifications of
its members, and it would bs refreshing to
see it rise up in its majesty. aud instead Of
enrolling a member on the face Of his dis
puted certificate Of election, refuse repre-
sentation to a district that could not prov
that it had held fair election" OF course
the Press would not propose such plan
WHICH, by the way, is ex-Gov. Bullock's-
if he thought the republican candidate
would get the greater number of votes In
that case it would be in favor Of letting

right up and be sworn in.

The sullivan-KiIrain Mil.

The fight between Sullivan and Kilrain
resulted as it was generally expected it
would-in a victory for Sullivan. From
the beginning to the end Of the contest it
was evident that Sullivan was the better
man Kilrain prolonged the fight
by adopting the tactics employed
by Mitchell in his fight with
Sullivan in France year or so ago. He
refused to and up squarely in front of
Sullivan and engage in a contest of skill.
strength and endurance. He ran about the
ring and endeavored to defeat Sullivan by
wesring him out.
Sullivan is still the champion and, it is
probable, will continue to be for some time.
This last victory will doubtless make him
more arrogant than ever. Ab best he is not
a pleasant sort of person, and his ugly
traits will, no doubt, crop out now more
frequently than ever.
1t is to be regretted that Gov. Lowry of
Mississippi did not succeed in preventing
the fight. He certainly seemed very much
in earnest in his efforts to do so. He ought
to have credit for bis good intentions, how
ever.
Prize fighting is brutal and brutalizing.
1t Is encouraged mainly by rough char
acters who have very little respect for
law. While there is always great in
terest in prize fight between noted
pugilists. public sentiment is against
prize fighting. The laws against it ought
to be made moro stringent, and Off ials
whose duty it is to enforce them ought to be
held to very strict accountability if they
fail to do so.

Pers!ss Ruler.

Il was stated a few DAYS ago. that the
Persian minister IN this country had deter
mined 70 give up his mission because Of the
rather uncomplimentary comments Of the
American newspapers on the shah Stree the
latter has been il Europe. Doubtless the
minister feels that his sovereign has been
dealt with haushly, but if he vera 70 remain
in this country long enough be would get
used TO the newspapers. and would under
stand that they do not mean to be unkind
or uncivil to the shah. If that despot were
70 visit this country he would be accorded,
undoubtedly, E very handsome reception,
and il is doubtful if be would be stared at
as 'persItently and rudsly a. be il in Eng
land. s--
His civilization is 80 different from the
western civilization that it is not TO be
wondered at that be is the subject Of news
paper comment. The English people had
made up their minds to entertain hin so
msgniflcently as TO astoniSh him. They do
not seem to have done so. On the contrary,
he appears TO have astoniShed them. He
takes everything very quietly and shows no
signs Of surprise at anything he sees. Sew
eral times when he has appeared in public,
however, he has been so bsdecked with
diamonds and other precious stones, and
with gold ornaments az 10 CAUSE tbs aver
age Englishman to gazo at him in open
mouthed wonder On moro than ono oc-
casion his barbaric splendor has been com

nails. II is not uncommon for him to have
upon his person jewels worth at least
sl,0O0.O0Q
He il a very outspoken man. He gives
expression to whatever pops into his mind,
and sometimes his observations are rather
indelicats 1t is said that if an elderly
lady is presented to him he is just as likely
as not to tell her that she is too old to please
him, and be has bee . known TO ask his host,
if ladies whom he mad already met were
present, whether it were not possible to
change the women.
Taken all in all, however, the shah is said
to be a pretty good sort Ct man. He has
been on the throne over forty years, and he
has introduced some very important re-
forms into Persia. When he was last in
EuToPe ne PcAeu up Sood many l1ehs,
which he turned to good account after his
return home, and it is believed that the
object Of his present visit is to inform him
self further about western civilization for
the benefit of his people. Under his rule
the population OF Persia has inc eased con-
siderably, and the condition of the people
has been improved. The shah is much
wiser monarch than he i, represented to be
in many Of the articles written about him.

The Prssident,s Appointments.

The President has not followed the rule
for making appointments which he an
nounced soon after his Inauguration. That
rule, in substance, was that fitness alone
should be the test for making appointments
in every grade Of the service. Some time
ago he stated that the reason why appoint
msnts were not made more rapidly was that
he wanted to examine the applicants for
office, so as not to mako any mistakes.
His examinations do not appear to be
very thorough. Lately he appointed in
West Virginia man namod Ray, who, last
winter, was accused Of having tried TO
bride member of the legislature of that
state. A committee Of the legislature in
yestigated the accusation and recommended
that Ray should be prosecuted. Another
Of the recent West Virginia appointees is
soon to be tried on the charge Of having
embezzed largo sum from the school
funds. These specimens do not indicate
that the President makes a very thorough
examination Of applicants for Office, or, if
he does, that he does not succeed in finding
out much about them

he was going to do was to improve the
railway mail service. He has made changes
in the service, but these changes are not all
for the better.
When the present administration came
into power there were 300 trained clerks in
the railway mail service between New York
and Chicago. or this number 296 have
been removed and their places filled with
new men wao are now trying to learn their
duties This looks as if the President, when
he said he was looking for fitness in appli.

for republicans TO take the places OF demo

Ali through the long. bright summer day,
As lie on the glistening sand,
And see the cool waves dashing spray,
With seaweed drifting toward the land;
or rest in some sweet, leafy glade,
And watch. as through a golden sieve,
The sunlight filter through the shade,
feel that it is good to live.
And when-despite the sunsets frown
His abdication ever wins
King PhOebus lays his scepter down
And sweet Queen Dian rule begins,
L sit and watch her slvery beams
To earth immortal radiance give.
No doubling thought within me CLEANS;
know that il is good to live.
But, at the last, when from afar
The sbadowy dusk is lost 10 sight;
W hen darkness, pillowed on a star,
Lies dreaming in the arms of night;
/ wake from thoughts of rapturous bliss,
No heart beats warmly next my own,
No sweet lips parted with a kiss;

she HUNDRED the Joke.

During the war Mrs. Hayes now and then
went to the front to visit her husband who
was colonel OF the Twenty third Ohio, saws a
Washington letter to the Cleveland Leader
She was an angel of mercy to the sick and
wounded, often passing days and nights in
minStering to their needs. She was well
known to ell the soldiers of the Twenty-third.
and no favorite general ever evoked more
tempestuous cheers than did Mrs. Hayes when
she appeared in the camp. Whenever the
soldiers wanted to express their esteem for
anybody they didn't lift their rusty Old hats
and make graceful bows-they just yelled
AT one time, while the Twenty-third was
lying in camp i'll stern Virginia SQUAD of
recruits Joined the regiment, One Of them
thought Uncle Sans tailor didn't put pockets
enough in the soldiers blouses, and could not
be satisfied till he had another in his TO carry
the gimcracks which every veteran despised
but which he had not yet learned to do without
The first day il camp he inquired of the bows
where he could get it done. One of the ways of
the company sized him up and saw at once a
good chance to have O JOKE.
Certainty said he to the dedyiipr " Esve

such jobs as that. There she is" and he pointed
to Mrs. Hayes. who was sitting on a camp
chair II front of The coonel's tent. ''Just take
your blouse right to her. and she'll do it up
brown"
The innocent recruit stalked boldly I'D to
headquarters, threw off his blouse and handed
it to her asking if she would put in a pocket for
him, remarklng, with patronizing air. that he
would paY her well for il.
Col. Hayes. who writing in his tent
heard the young soldier and came out Observ,

the situa ion and his ewes twinkled with merr-
ment, but he sad nothing, knowing his wife
was equal to any ordinary emergency.
''Of course will, said Mrs Hayes, who was
quick as her husband to see through in.
Come back in an hour, and IN have 1t ready
for you"
She set to WORK with scissors and needle. and
when the young patriot called for his blouse he
found in it as nice pocket as his mother could
have made.
How much?" he asked, taking out his pocket
book.
ION, nothing at all was glad to doit for you,
and you are very welcome"
While the soldier was expressing his thanks
Col. Hayes came out of the tent and thought he
would carry the joke little farther.
DO you know me, my man?N he said pleas
antly, extending his hand to the soldier
The latter, somewhat abaShed by the official
presence said he did not
We'll, my name is Hayes. and am the colo

but he had the pocket n'his blouse that he
wanted.

The New York Herald says that tie Per-
sian minister to this country hasn't resigned
his post, and that he isn't going to leave
America for good. The report that he
would, it says, was canard The other
newspapers, however, say that he is going
away TO stay, and one of them thinks it
has found out the real cause Of his dissatis-
faction with Washington. 1t says: Some
prolonged festivities at his house in free
society, an account of which came to polite
ears, led to the erasure Of his name from
invitation lists, and perhaps explains tbs
isolation TO which he was driven, and t,
which he refers as one Of the hardships of
his life as representative of the shah.
These stories are attributed to people of
such excsllent reputation and such freedom
from malice as to justify the impress sion
that the Persian minister's education for
western service had not been. completed
when he was sent from Tcheran to Wash
ington." London cablegram states that
the shah received from the minister the
other day a statement of the INSULTING
references" made to him the shah by
American newspapers, aud that an article
from southern newspaper, recounting
some of his doings while on a former
European trip, was cabled in full. The
shah became very angry, and threatened to
return at once to Persia, to prepare to
revenge himself upon this country, but he
afterward concluded to instruct his secre-
tary to have the matter brought before
President Harrison, through the proper
diplomatic channels 1t was wise con-
clusion.
