The Cleveland administration seems TO
have a mania for surrendering every for
eign advantage it may have including reci-
procity, Hawaii and lastly American rights
and privileges in Samoa. 1t perhaps is not
strange that the administration should ex-
perience q desire to be rid of every
responsibility possible. 1t started out
with evidently sanguine belief in its power
to assu,re the responsibility of running the
earthszt has learned by experience that
it isn't able too look after its own house.
hold. This, however, is no reason why this
country should be deprived of its rights.
Because it has just now president
who is unable to conceal the fact that
he isn't the embodiment of all that
is best among the people argues
nothing. We Rave had in the past and are
likely to have again administrations which
shall be able to deal it'll those questions
with dignity, honor and profit to this coun-
try. Those Pacific strongholds, which this
administration has endeavored to shuttle off
by dark intrigues that would not bear the
light of publicity, are increasing in i'm
portance every year. The time is
not far distant when with the
Isthmian canal this country will need coal
ing stations there. But the powers now in
control look only to the present and its view
of that is at times most bazy ard narrow.
Mr.. Bayard, who advocated the arrange
inert now existing in Samoa lis ,as the repre-
sentative Of this administration, at the court
of ST. James, called upon to announce
that this country doesn't want any share Of
Samoa and is willing that all its privileges
in that country and what it might obtain in
Tonga be divided up between England and
Germany provided the United States be re-
leved of any responsibility. We have al
ready wondered why Secretary Gresham
has not proposed giving Alaska to England
on the ground that British possessions are
contiguous. Fortunately the Senate may
get time from preparing trust schedules to
look into this Samoan matter.

The alleged statesmen who are fond of
declaring that the Mckinley law is still
in force forget to say that until the Dem
ocrats were given control of the govern

and everything that looked like protec-
ton, we had no hard times and business
disasters. All this trouble has come to
us for fear of the repeal of the law, not
because of its existence.

The sketch of Hon. James G. Blaine,
which bis former partner in the KESNEBEc
JOURNAL, and warm personal friend, Hon.
John L. Stevens, contributed to the report of
the MaiEe Press Association is one of more
than ordinary interest. "His editorials at
the beginning Of the service in the KENNE-
Rec JOURNAL were decisive proofs of his
talents as writer and student of
public affairs,' writes Mr. Stevens.
"His style was clear, incisive, and
not wanting in the boldness necessary to
the discussion of burning issues. They
showed striking familiarity with the his
tory of the country. an extensive knowledge
of public men and quick insight as to pas
sing events and what concerned the sent-
ments and interests of the people. To the
new political combinations and reconstruc-
ton of parties going on in the country, or
soon to be made, he had quick eye and
ready hand, and his sharp, fearless editorial
pen pointed out the way"
