Attempt to Condone.
IN. Y. WORLDLY

In view of the report of the Cummings
committee convicting the Carnegie Steel
Company of fraud it should be remembered
that there has been an attempt to secure
conformation of these frauds by the payment
of money "fine" to the secretary of the
navy. 1t may be urged that there is a legal
difference between such method of settle
ment and the statutory offense of COM
pounding felony, but the result is the
same in either case. The secretary of the
navy has erred greatly in accepting the
"fine," and in spite of it the cases should
be presented at once to the Federal grand
jury.

farm stuffs to dealers across the line. Among
the reductions made by the present bill
are these: Poultry from 5 cents pound
to 2 and 8 cents pound; hay from 81 a
ton to So q ton; potatoes from rs cents a
bushel to Is cents bushel; wool, now 10
to IL cents pound, is made free; eggs
from five cents to three cents dozen :

test, and is entitled to respect and
not derision. The difficulty here
is not with the diagnosis, but with
the panacea. The state of nature
which is extolled is pure abstrac-
ton, and very unnatural one at
that. It cannot be returned to"
for it never existed. At the end of
the last century, when the minds
of men were full of the ideas of
Rousseau, they imagined the state
of primitive man to be one of pure
bliss, and travellers, of course, saw
what they wanted and expected to
see. The nineteenth century has
changed all that. It found out
the mobile red man" and exposed
him. The Investigations of mod
ern ethnology have shown that
Eden is a myth, and that early
man is everywhere the same super
stitious, cunning and brutal saw
age.
There is no broad road to social
reform. The world can only be
regenerated by the slow and pa
tient processes of the ages, the in
Vulnerable good deeds and wise
thoughts and useful devices of
many generations. The millennium
will not be a return to nature, but
a rising to grace, union of the
rich fruits of culture with the truth
and simplicity and democracy of
the higher and better mature"

A New Comet.

LICK OBSERVATORY, May 1O.-At
the eclipse of April, 1898, Professor
Schaebele, of the Lick Observatory,
made many photographs of the
SUMS corona at his station in Chile.
On all his negatives he found a
large object which he decided to be
bright comet near the sun. We
have just obtained the negatives of
the same eclipse made a few hours
later by British expeditions in
Brazil and in Africa. Professor
Schaeberle has found the same
comet on these British negatives
also. It thus appears that the Lick
Observatory negatives of the solar
eclipse of April, 1898, have Incl
dentally added a new comet to the
system.

PORTUGUESE WANTED.

It is gratifying to learn that the
planters are again moving in the
matter of Portuguese immigration.
The reasons for seeking to obtain
such labor were never more impera-
tive than now. With diplomatic
complication with Japan still unset
tied with Chinese law under which
Chinese cannot be had, and with
the possibility of annexation cut
ting off any further immigration
beyond that which comes OF itself,
the necessity of leaving no stone
unturned to secure desirable labor
ers and enough of them, will be
obvious to the dullest apprehen-
sion. If Portuguese can be had in
sufficient numbers, the dependence
of Hawaii for labor, upon Asiatic
sources will cease. There could be
no greater boon to the country.
1t is to be hoped that the planters
will send a commissioner to the
Azores without further delay.

THE UNWRITTEN TREATY OF PAR
Triton.

There are treaties concerning Pacific
Ocean politics which have never been
written, or at least, published.
Such treaty, or understanding, or
| agreement, was believed to exist be-
| tween Great Britain and Germany at
the time when patriotic and shrewd
| American Consul General in Samoa,
carrying out the patriotic policy de-
| clared by Mr.. Cleveland's first admin
| istration, thwarted the German plan
| to seize those islands. American sem
timent at home supported the prompt
assertion of American rights in Samoa
and the Berlin Treaty, imperfect and
unsatisfactory as it is in many re-
spects, was the immediate result. Ger
many did not get the Samoan Islands
at that time.
The secret understanding between
England and Germany was then
believed to rest on this basis: Eng
land to have the Tonga or Friendly
Islands; Germany in the end to have
Samoa; and the United States, with
definite and distinct interests in all
t,iree of the only groups then remain
ing unappropriated in the Pacific, was
expected to content itself with Ha-
wali, which natural right and mani
fest destiny had already assigned to
us, without regard to anything that
England and Germany might say or
do.
Subsequent events fit in very we'll
with the theory of such an under
standing between London and Berlin.
England's raid on Tonga was encour-
aged and promoted by Germany. Ger
many's attempt in Samoa had the ap-
prevail and assistance of Great Britain;
and when the opportunity came, in
United States to acquire Hawaii, both
England and Germany were silent.
The game that has been played for
years by the Great Powers for the pos
session Of the really valuable islands
of the Pacific, with view to advan-
tage in the next hundred years. for the
enormous carrying trade of the Pacific
after the opening of a canal from the
Atlantic to the great ocean, is now
drawing to a close. 1t takes a new
aspect by the appearance of England,
New Zealand, as a candidate
for the possession of the islands which
GhO lldu dSSlShCu
to Germany. The one thing certain
is that whatever understanding may
have existed, the Government of the
United States was never a party to it.
Our right to proceed Independently
with regard to Samoa is the same as
with regard to Hawaii.
Apparently few individuals in the |
Democratic party think. that it would |
be fine thing to safeguard this coun-
try against future commercial pre-
eminence in the Pacific. The amazing
thing about this un-American policy |
of Give-away is that it finds its prin-
ciple support among those very theor-
lists who clamor most loudly for free
trade. They are willing to sacrifice
every domestic consideration for the
sake of tariff policy which, as they
maintain, will fill the seas with Amer
lean ships, laden with American
goods; and yet they seek to deprive
The country of every point of future
which will serve and secure !,
hat future commerce.
They are against American annexa-
ion of Hawaii. They are against the
of American rights in
Samoa. They are against American
control of the inter-Ocean waterway.

THE STATE OF NATURE.

The interview with Mr.. Boeter,
published this morning, will be
found of interest to all classes of
readers. Mr.. Boeter is one of those
persons common enough hundred
years ago, but rarer now, who
ascribe all the ills of life to civiliza-
ton itself. He thinks that nothing
is required to secure condition of
perfect. virtue and happiness but to
discard everything which savors of
the arts and usages of cultivated
life, to eat nothing but the fruits
which grow without asking, and
drink, if anything at all, nothing
but 1.-THE waters of the crisped
spring." Do this, and passion will
cease, disease will vanish, life will
stretch out into a succession of
happy generations, and the world
of misery and conflict will be
transformed into Paradise of
"sweet content"
It is very easy to laugh at the
obvious vagaries of a theory like
this, but he must be of a poor and
shallow spirit, who cannot find in
them food for thought as well as
laughter.
The opinions which Mr.. Boeter
processes with such earnest enthu-
siasm contain a great deal of truth. |
They involve, it may be, general |
conception of the universe far less
erroneous than that of many per-
sons whose opinions pass unnoticed.
What marks them is not so much
that they present false picture of |
the world, as that they present one
very different from that which
passes current as true.
Herr Boeter's most eccentric
ideas contain abundant truth. Take
for instance his somewhat startling
opinion on the subject of clothes.
To the person who takes the world
strictly as he finds it, who never
sees farther than the end of his
nose, who knows no distinction be-
tween the conventually proper and
the eternally fit, such ideas are
nothing short of monstrous. If,
however, we study nature and re-
view history, compare the customs
of diverse ages, races and societies,
contrast the veil of Turkish beau
ty with the ball dress of the Homo
lulu belle, we shall find an infinite
variety of incongruities, contradic-
lions and absurdities. In the face
Of these, in the face of the profound
and natural morality taught by
The Christian religion, he would be
1 bold man who should undertake
20 foretell the future of clothes, or
lay whether they will have any flu
;ure at all.
So too, the protest of enthusiasts
ike Boeter against the great abuses
# modern civilized life, against it's
uxuries, its artificialities, its dead
y atmosphere of lies, its injustice
nd misery, is. a well founded pro- !

Boston, April 9O.-When a reporter
