A Pacific Poland.

Hdrper's Weekly is very much
alarmed at the leaning towards entang-
ling foreign alliances shown by the
general approval Of the Samoan treaty.
The alarm hardly appears to be war
ranted, as the alliance for maintaining
peace and security in Samoa is only
accepted as the least of two evils, and
should not in any way affect the eau
tious, independent foreign policy of this
country. We had to choose between
state Of affairs that must have ended in
. serious quarrel with the other powers,
il not In war, and an arrangement
which, with all Its defects, has the
great advantage of keeping foreign in
fuence pretty we'll balanced, and saw
ing three great nations from the ab-
surdity Of quarreling over scrap of
land so Insignificant. Under the grant
OF harbor and coaling station we
might have taken a more aggressive
interest IN Samoa and saved her from
the treaty, but we allowed that oppor-
tunity to pass, and now, as Haspey's
has it, the treaty effects an alliance by
which the three powers practically take
possession of Samoa as Russia, Ger
many and Austria took possession of
Poland. We allowed Germany to 90
ahead until her interests there so far
oyerbalanced all Others that she could
not be expected to abandon them to the
perils of native misrule, and now we are
forced to make the best of bad situa-
tion and assume a role that will enable
us to save at least the semblance of
Samoan Independence. The COMPARE
son with the division Of Poland is humili-
ating for the republic that is party to
the seizure of Samoa from the Samoans:
but We can console ourselves with the
rejection that there will be no division
OF this Pacific Poland, no seizure of it
by any one power, and no oppression of
the Samoans as long as there is an
American flag flying ON the islands.
As a distinct assurance Of this firm
American policy we should make haste
to establish and strongly fortify that
eoaling station and harbor, the right TO
which II is tacitly understood we have
not In any way imperiled by the treaty.

Browsing over the advertis-

one was forcibly reminded Of
the humorous philosophers re-
mark that, I" it is better not to
know so much than to know SO
much that is not true"
Between the ethics and the

homily concerning the immi-
nent danger to which much ad-
vertising exposes Truth. We
forbear.
Yesterday we printed some
words about Black Dress Stufts

doubt the command of the

Lupin's place was fixed by a di-
vine right recognized by

 WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-Secretary Win dom has suspended the call for four per cent. bonds issued Saturday last. The amount of purchases up to date agRre- gates nearly $6,O00, 900, for which the output will be about 1O,000, 900. The Secretary was induced to act as he did by the encouraging news as to the state of the market received from New York and the conviction that the crisis had passed It will be recalled that the offer of. Satur- day called for but $5, ,000, 900 (face value), but the responses have been so tempting that the Secretary purchased more than had been proposed. .E ya.-e
 In a circular issued from the Treasury Department this official announcement was made:
 "The 4 per cent bonds accepted yes terday by the Secretary of the Treasury completed the amount which he offered to purchase, and bond redemption will, therefore, for the present be limited to the 1-2 per cents., which the Sec retary will continue to redeem at par and interest to maturity. The Secretary will also purchase for the Union Pacific sinking fund any first mortgage Pacific Railroad bonds. which arc a prior lien to the subsidy bonds, and pay for them such price as will realize per cent. per annum on the investment. The amount which will be purchased is limited for the present to $500, ,000."
