SAMOA is SAFE.

a dispatch from Berlin, bearing evi-
dence of official approval. states that
that government will under no circum-
stances assent to any arrangement
which would diminish Germany's in
fiuence in Samoa, or elsewhere, and
change from the present attitude of the
German government towards Samoa
could only be in the direction of a
German protectorate over the Samoan
islands. On the other hand, the German
government Is willing to grant to the
United States by treaty any demands
which would secure to America her
present commercial rights anu standing
in Samoa. This is the standpoint of
Germany, and is looked upon as involv-
ing the honor OF the German empire.
This decision may be regarded as fatal
to the purpose of Great Britain looking
towards the annexation of the Samoan
group to the British empire, already far
advanced towards realization. The re-
cent announcement that Germany had
announced its intention of Withdrawing
from the tripartite protectOrate over the
stands was regarded as equivalent TO a
surrender to Great Britain. Americans
will be glad to learn that the decision
has been reconsidered, and that former
conditions Will continue. or at least that
no change will be made which shall jeop-
ardize the interests of this country.
Great Britain's predilection for grasp
ing territory from her weaker neigh
bors requires a check. 1t has grown
into passion, almost all-consuming
No territory is safe from British ag-

capes from Jefferson county jail today.
The first named was convicted of mur-

DENVER, April ga special to the
Rocky Mountain News from Chicago
says: A scheme of prodigious proper
tions, which c0ntemplates the ultimate
overthrow of the country and govern
ment, in the interest of cooperative
enthusiasts. was sprung at a meeting Of
the White City Cooperative associa-
tion, a powerful organization of
known socialistic tendencies. Colo

state where the overthrowing should

committees in one state so they could
multiply and eventually control the leg

MIsFIT COMPARISON.

When Senator Morgan secured leave
OF absence from the senate extending
we'll into May he made a mistake. He
would have done better to have re-
mained at Washington saving wood.
The purpose of his absence was to take,
hand in the state campaign. In a
speech made by him at Birmingham he
said ''if the United States had as much,
money as France the people would not
suffer from the effects of the Mckinley
law" The senator referred. of course.
to the fact that the per capita of cur
rency (money) in France is $40. in the
United States S24. That circumstance
affords no ground for comparison.
Mr.. Morgan took an indirect and
equally foolish way to show disapproDa-
ton for the repeal of the Sherman act
and the veto of the Bland act. Ee
should have come out souarely and said
what he meant.
Forty dollars per capita would be
no relief from the effects OF the Mckin.
ley law. The senator knows this per-
fectly well. He should be ashamed to
offer such cheat to public audience
There is honest money enough in this
country, all that is needed tor safe and
sound commercial transactions. 1t is
not probable that Mr.. Morgan is In favor
of an Initiation OF fiat currency for the
purpose of raising the amount per cap
ita, as are Allen, PETER, Stewart and
cranks like them. If the per capita of
currency in the United States was $40
or $50 per capita, it would not mitigate
the oppression of the Mckinley law an
iOta. That is not where the shoe
pinches.
As between France and the United
States, the systems of business are radi-
cally different. One dollar here accom-
plishes as much, in commercial transac-
tions, as at least three in France.
Checks, drafts and the like in the
American system perform service in
fully nine-tenths of the transactions,
while in France they are scarcely em-
ployed at all, never except in limited
instances and in large deals. There is
no value whatever to Morgan's compar-
ison. and he ought to have been too sa-
gacious to have made it. The per capita
circulation in England and Germany is
much less than in the United States.
yet these countries are fully as prosper
Gus as France.
Turn the subject any way possible.
the Morgan position is humbug. 1t the
country must have either the Mckinley
law or fiat money. let it be the former.
But it need not he afflicted with either
if Mr.. Morgan and the Democratic ma
lority in congress will perform the duty
they have pledged the country to per-
form.

THE SKIES BRIGHT.

There is victory in the air.
Tomorrow will be gala day for the
triumphant Democracy of st. Paul.
While there is no longer any doubt
relative to the election of Mr.. Smith and
his associates. there should be no effort
spared to bring every voter to the polls
in order to swell the majority.
MIR. Smith will have majority over
both of his opponents, and plurality of
at least 5000 from the momentum al
ready secured. but it can just as easily
be swelled 10 $500 or 1900 by earnest
work.
Reverse the figures of two years ago!
Make it SO nearly unanimous that
sham reform" will forever perish from
t he face Of the earth.
The victorious column is marching on.

Rubber Mortgages Valid.

TRENTON, n. j., April 90. = Vice
Chancellor Bird has rendered a decision
in the famous Star Rubber company

How a California millionaire Left
His Illinois Wife.
SACRAMENTO, CAL, April 30. "A suit
has been commenced here against l.. E
Green, wealthy hardware merchant,
that promises decidedly sensational de-
velopments. Green came here fifteen
years ago with his wife, and during
that time they have made mapy friends.
Their family consists of five children.
In the complaint the plaintiff states
that her name is Eliza Green, and al
leges that she is the lawful wife of the
defendant. Her story is that she was
married to Green in jackson, H., and
lived there with AIM until 1876, when ne
disappeared, leaving Mrs. Green with
eight children to support. Their home
was heavily mortgaged, and six months
after the husbands disappearance the
mortgage was foreclosed, thus turning

THE SOBER THOUGHT.

Ii is automatic that the interest which
take in the selection of local candidates
for office is the general welfare of the
community of which each voter forms a
component part.
Comparatively few of the 175,000 peo-
pie OF st. Paul have or expect any
direct returns from the elections to-
morrow in the way of official employ
ment.
But every one of the entire population
has direct interest in a government
which affords protection, which keeps
down taxation, which gives clean
streets, good pavements and sidewalks,
ample public schools, guards the health
of the city, and in every way tends to
make ST. Paul model city for home
and business.
The GLOBE does not claim that any
political party would willfullY, as a
party. seek to accomplish the reverse Of
these propositions. but it claims, and
the past two years demonstrates the
correctness of the claim, that party
which has been found incompetent to
continue the blessings enumerated,
which were handed over ready made, is
unworthy OF longer continuance in
power.
a,,if hn cil pf
tional questions are not involved. but
good local government is at stake.
The city snapped horses TWO years
ago, and the result is sadly impressed
upon the people of st. Paul today.
No words. additional 10 those already
uttered. are necessary at this time. The
voter who is not now convinced what is
to his interest and that of the city must
be too obtuse for argument.
The Democratic party. being composed
of human beings, is not perfection.
The men who compose political parties
are not unanimously angels, and it Is not
entirely on angelic grounds that the
GLOBE urges the election of the Demo-
cratic ticket tomorrow.
The administration of a city's affairs
is business proposition, and the Dem =
ocrals have proven their ability and
their honesty in giving the city a clean.
straightforward business regime, a
claim which the upbuilding of the city
proves 10 be true.
The Republicans have had charge of
affairs for two years past and have
failed TO produce anything but derelic-
tions.
Ii a private business house or corpo-
ration should change its management
and find a mistake had been made, a
return to the former management which
had proven its honesty and ability would
be made without hesitation.
That is the exact situation in ST. Paul.
it is business rather than political
question which the voters W ill pass upon
tomorrow, and if they desire to protect
their own interests their votes will be
for return to the Democratic party,
which has been tried and NOT found
wanting.

IN THE THEATERS.
"The White Squadron" :"

"The White Squadr on" was present.
ed at the Grand last night by company
containing number of the players who
contributed to its success here last sea-
son. The strong dramatic situations
in "The White SOU adron" appealing to
the patriotism and the pride of the new
navy, were all cleverly carried through
without the element of overacting. which
so frequently mars the average dra-
matte entertainment.
w. A. Whiteear sustained the role of
Victor Stanton, commanding the United
States steamship Chicago, with good
judgment, appearing to equal advantage
in scenes OF love and scenes of blood
shed and excitement. The villainous
Brazilian general, whose duplicity
causes all the trouble in "The White
Squadron, was presented with good
effect by Frederick Julian, whose ca
pable partner in crime was Robert
Neil, in the role of the colonel in the,
Brazilian army.
John j. Burke, as De Silvera, brave
and simple captain in the same force,
received merited applause in several
spirited scenes Id which he frustrated
the plots of his general.
Miss Tessie beagle, as the captains
sister. acted with lack Of affectation
that was entirely pleasing, and the
presence on the stage of Edith Julian
lent an interest to scenes that otherwise
might have dragged.
The remainder of the company were
exceedingly good in their respective
roles. The scenic effects were as we'll
managed as ever. and the congress of
navies, where six principal nations
were represented, was admirably con-
ducied. The tableau showing the yes
sells of "The White Squadron" under
full sail was one of the most novel eff
fects ever utilized for stage purposes.
The Grand deserves large audiences
this week.

ence is assured. Great Britain will have
to wait, and in the meantime the infiu-
ence of the United States in the South
seas may be greatly increased. If prop
erly directed our commerce has great
field in that region. The advantages
which will flow from American suprem-
acy there are certainly worth strug-
gle. and our government and people
will be neglectful of their own interests
If they neglect to take advantage of the
opportunities set before them.

THE ASSOCIATION AND THE
SENATE

One by one the senators indicted byj
the Minnesota Democratic association
have felt it incumbent Oh them to plead
TO the charge. This is encouraging as
showing that these gentlemen are not
quite as impervious to public opinion as
has been thought. The padded walls"
of ''the finest gentlemen's club in the
world" have been pierced by cry from
the outside.
1t is worth while to note their plea
and examine its sufficlency. We have
considered that rendered by Senator
"Dave" Hill. To that comment nothing
may be added, except that he justiies
the Republican reception given it. The
next to rise was Senator s'Jimn Smith,
of New Jersey, who virtually pleads
guilty. He says it Is his duty to be true
to his local interests. and as these are
sustained by the protection of the tariff,
and as the patty has declared that there
shall be no Such protection, the senator
really says thai he is either not Dem
ocrat or is a traitor to his party.
Senator Mcpherson, from the same
state with Smith. is reported as enter
ing ali indignant mot guilty" to the
charge. The senator has either short
memory or a queer idea of what the
tariff plank of '92 means. When some
one questioned Senator Voorhees, in the
senate why the changes had been made
in the house bill, why the free list had
been emasculated, the senior senator
from New Jersey rose and suavely ex-
planned that he assumed full RESPONSE
bility for the changes that had been
made. AS these changes robbed the
house bill of all there was in it that
looked towards redemption of the
promise we made the people, and as the
senator says he caused the change to be
made. it is apparent that mis- denial goes
for nothing. and on his own showing he
is convicted of the charge. Next.
