Mr.. Bayard's Explanation.

! Secretary Bayard feels that the criticisms
which have appeared in the republican news
papers on his course in the Samoan affair
are unjust HIS explanation of his Samoan
policy, which was published in our dis
pate es yesterday, is, doubtless, satisfactory
TO the great maj ority Of the people.
The chief fault found with Mr.. Bayard's
policy is that he has not been sufficiently
aggressive 1t is Intended by his critics
that he ought to have ma lie Germany un-
derstand long ago that this country would
not permit her to interfere in the domestic
affairs of Samoa.
OF course ne would have been praised aid
flattered by those who are always gratfed
by the prospect Of trouble between lndivid-
uals or nations, but who are careful to keep
out Of harms way when trouble actually
begins, if he had been noisy, aggressive and
deInoustrative in dealing with Germany;
but if he had precipitated a war the porti IN
Of the press that is now criticlsing him
would have assailed him reclllesslv and vi
ciously, and demanded his removal.
la the Samoan matter Mr. Bayard has
been dignified and firm, and the probability
is that this country will have its wishes
with regard 20 Samoa respected. In fact,
it was stated in our Berlin dspa ches yes
terday that Germany was willing TO accept
the plan of this country for the government
of Samoa.
Mr.. Bayard acted up to the full limi- of
his authority, bat he did not excel it. If
there hal been au emergency requiring him
to assume greater responsibility than that
for which he had authority, he
might have done 50. There was, how
ever, no such an emergency. aud
when he did all that he was authorized to
do he laid the whole matter, through the
President, before congress Tint he acted
wisely is shown by the fact that congress
has authorized nothing to b. done beyond
neglected any duty, the republicans in con
gress would have pointed it out. Their
silence IS an admission that he has acted
with wisdom and discretion
Doubtless Mr. Bayard could have brought
about very serious trouble with German,
but there was nothing il the relations be-
tween this country and Samoa that re-
qui ed him to do 50, He could have put
the country to an expense of many mil
hons of dollars for almost nothing |. is
not improbable that the conference, in
which this country, England and Germany
will part cipate, VIII settle the Samoan
question without much expense to either
country aud without loss of life. Mr. Bay
ard will tuen get the credit for his manage
meat Of the state department which he
serves, but which to some extent is now
uenied to bin.

How a Pawnbroker Cams Out Second

From the Chicago Tribune.

to himself. as he travelled along his counter

the most genial manner, Anything you want

The young man quickly chose a ring with a
three carat single stone Of prime light and re-
questet that it be kept apart for him, as he had
no money at that moment. Marx cleared away
the rings, when the young man, suddenly lean
ing over the counter indicated a spot upon the
shelf where the chosen ring should be left until
his return. In the movement his elbow went

The purchaser was covered with confusion

When NJ. de Lesseps inaugurared his
undertaking on the Isthmus of Panama he
stated that the canal would be opened for
traffic in 1889 ms cad of being opened in
1889 1t will be abandoned. In very few
days there will be no laborers on the canal.
Already all but one or two contractors
have notified their employees that they have
no further use for them.
The United States, England and France
have greatly increased their naval forces,
both at Panama and Colon, for the pur-
pose of affording the citizens Of their re-
spective countries such protection as they
may need From present indications the
people Of all of these three, as well as of
other, nationalities, will need great deal
of protection. Only few Of the laborers
have saved any money. Consequently there
are thousands who will soon be IN a starv-
ing condition, and starving men have very
little respect for law-par icularly such law
as there is in Colombia. Doubtless
this government and the governments
of Frauce and England will
assist their citizens in reaching their homes.
Congress has appropriated S250, 900 for pro-
and it seems TO be understood that q part of
this money will be used ia aiding Americans
to return to this country.
The condition of the contractors is almost
as bad as that Of the laborers, because the
amounts due them are about equal to the
amounts Of their profits, and if they do not
get their money, they will leave the isthmus
with less money than they had when they
reached there. The representatives of SONS
of them have gone to Paris with the hope
of getting at least part of what is duo
them. There is not much probability that
they will get anything. The treasury OF
the company is empty.
1t is estimated that $3.50, 000,0 600 have
been actually spent upon the canal. OF
course much larger sum than this has
been subscribed, but a great deal of money
has been wasted in one way and another.
Only a small part Of the work on the
from Colon TO Bahio, distance of thirteen
miles. This part is through low, marshy
ground, and was excavatel by the Ameri-
can dredging company Very little of the
heavy work through the mountains has
been undertaken. An estimate, based upon
work already done, places tae cost of COM
pleting the canal at $1,OOOOO0,OJO 1t is
evident that no such an amount of money
can be obtained for such purpose.
This government may have a good deal
Of unpleassht work to do on the isthmus
within the next few months BY its treaty
with the government of Colo nbia it is
bound to keep the traffic rouse between the
two oceans open. 1t may, therefore, be
compelled to furnish sufficient soldiers to
insure the running of trains on the Panama
railway. When money becomes scarce and
the discharged laborers become hungry
there may b. frequent attempts to rob the
trains. The outlook on the isthmus is far
from a pleasant one, and a great many Of
the better class Of permanent residents are
preparing 10 leave there.

Just What He Was There For.
Fronl "a Cinctnnati Enquirer.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
AS funny thing as ever occurred in a court
happened in Napoleon, O.. before Judge Potter
and jury. a case was on trial, AMI out
slider seated himself on one of the puncheons at
the far end of the panel Of jurors, there being
no other available sea-. When the defendant 8
counsel arose 10 address the jury he scanned
the face of each very closely, and naturally his
gaze was directed to the furthest man from
him who didn't happen to be a juror at ALL
Glaring at him he began:
Gentlemen f The jury. want to know what
this man Creferring u the plaintiff in the case)
has come into court for? What is his business
What right has he her What is he seeking
forf Again repeat gentlemen Of the jury,
why is he here
The countryman imagined that the question
had diT ect reference u himself, and when the
lawyer paused to give due weight and emphasis
70 the question, he jumped 10 his feet and
howled:
What am here for you cross-eyed COCK of
the walk? What am l seeking for in this here
court? III tell you in short order you weazen-
faced old son Of gun. I've been here three
days awaitin' for my fees, and nary a red kin |
GIT. Pay me nv witness fees, sir, and I'll git
out Of here Immediately
This unexpected GRAFTON brought down the
house, and the lawyer never finished his able
argument.
