a headstrong advocate Of the great hum

unterriiied frankness with which it de-
clares the very vitals OF the bill " to con-
sist Of free wool. free iron and lead ore.
and free sugar"

violating the Chicago platform could be
found than this Baltimore backslider's

all revenue from three great staples. then
further advocacy OF it as a principle and pro-
gramme OF Democracy becomes q farce.
without even the atoning element Of humor.
The WILSON bill stands for nothing In poll
tics but the support Of tho personal
whims and prestige OF the original WILLIAM
L. and the Hon. GROVER CLEVELAND.
The Democracy cannot afford to make
laughing stock OF itself for such a result.

The Protection of Ice Ponds.

To guard against possible injury to way
farers on the Ice upon waters within this
State. the law requires that a person or cor
poration cutting icei In order TO remove 1t for
sale. must surround the cuttings or OPEN
ings with bush fences or other sufficient
safeguards: and a failure to comply with
this requirement Is misdemeanor. The
duty IL imposed only In cases where the Ice
removed lie Intended to be sold. presumably
because It Is only in such cases that the
openings are numerous or extensive. or are
upon public waters.
An effort is now making. however. TO
amend the statute in such a way as to make
1t peculiarly burdensome to private land
owners who have occasion 10 take Ice for
their own use. from waters situated wholly
upon their own premises. A change In the
language Of the law has been proposed by
State Senator CoGGEsHALL which will make
II applicable to openings created Ivy the re-
moval OF ice not only for purposes OF sale,
but for any purpose. II the statute is thus
altered. the farmer who cuts a few tons OF
Ice for household use from little pond on
q remote part Of his farm. never visited by
strangers or travellers. will be under the
same obligation to surround the opening
with a fence OF bushes as Is the ice COM
pany which cuts thousand tons for sale
from the waters of public navigable
stream, where there might be real peril to
people by the omission to furnish some
safeguard or warning. In either case, the
neglect will be punishable crimlnally.
whether any one falls into the opening or
not: and the farmer will be subject to in
dictment on the testimony OF any malicious
neighbor. who happens to detect an un-
fenced opening on his secluded Ice pond.
It may be said that to restrict the opera
ton Of the statute to cases where the Ice Is
removed to be sold. is unreasonable. mas
much as 1t Is conceivable that very large
quantities Of Ice might be taken from one
part Of lake or river for use by the per-
sons who take 1t In some process OF manu-
facture. This Is undoubtedly true: but the
point which we make Is that in changing
the law 1t should not be changed SO as to
affect openings made on private ponds.
which are wholly within the lands OF the
owner. and are neither on or near any high
way. On such ponds. where strangers have
no occasion to 60, the law should not COM
pei the owner to put up fence whenever
he takes out Ice for his own household.
The multiplication OF needless and bur-
densome statutes In this State. prohibiting
and Furnishing acts which are not wrong In
themselves. Is a growing and serious evil.

Samoa's New Troubles.

The defeat and exile OF MATAAFA have not
put an end to the uprising OF the Samoans
against the foreign Government Of which
King MALIErOA Is the fgurehead. A new
leader Is found in TAMAsEsE, the son and
successor. we believe. OF that chief whom
the Germans put upon the throne as their
puppet when they forcibly deposed MALE
ToA. the rightful ruler. and banished him.
The insurrection Of the patriotic natives at
that time under MATAARA. whom they made
King. brought to TAMAsEsn the support OF
the Germans. whose landing party MATAAFA
defeated. However. England. Germany.
and the United States agreed upon new
system OF government. and King MALRToA
was brought back. while TAMAsEsE. for
whom the Germans had no further use.
was dismissed.
of the chiefs. had been allowed to rule In
p6amoa. perfect harmony would have been
assured. must have been very doubtful.
The lawful sovereign was MALIEroA. and
his restoration was not only poetic justice.
but desired by Great Britain and the United
States. as they had always looked upon his
overthrow as an outrage. II SO happened.
too. that Germany could agree to his ruler
ship. since TAMAsEsE was out OF the ques-
ton: and between MATAAFA. who had
killed some Of their seamen. and MALEToA.
whom they had themselves brought back
before the Berlin compact was made. they
preferred the latter.
The rebellion In which MATAAFA subse-
quently took part seems to have been
largely directed against the new system OF
government In the islands. so that the dis
content OF the natives might perhaps have
manifested itself In the same way. even had
he been made King. The hands OF the native
ruler are tied. He possesses some appoint
ing and other powers. but the foreign Chief
Justice and the foreign President OF the
Municipal Council are the powers behind
the throne.
Indeed. our Vermonter. Mr.. HENRY IDE.
who succeeded Chief Justice CEDERKRANTz.
the Swedish lawyer. is accused OF causing
the current outbreak. CEDERKRANTz. 1t will
be remembered. made himself enormously
unpopular. 1t was said that he knew too lit
tls English. took too long vacations. rendered
divisions that showed his incompetsncy,
refused 10 pay duties on the liquors he i'm
ported. and secured large fees for his clerks.
Whatever the truth as TO these matters,
such general relief Was felt at the appoint
ment Of Mr.. IDE in his stead. that 1t Is sur
prise TO find the latter now accused OF TO-
msnting a war by his conduct. 1t Is said
that he fined some OF the chiefs for disorder
ly conduct and. In their lack OF funds for
paying the hnes. compelled them 10 work
them out as imprisoned conyiets in road
building. Now. one OF the great needs Of
samoa has been good roads; but this
method Of securing them outraged Samoan
ideas. and war resulted. MALIEroA defeated
the maleontents. probably having great Sd-
Vsntages In weapons. and there are stories
OF atrocities perpetrated upon the van
quished.
