Where the Fourth Brigade VIII Prob
ably Go This summer.
Several of the regimental and battery
officers of this city visited Vallejo on
Sunday to inspect the grounds offered for
an encampment this summer.
They express themselves as being we'll
satisfied with the location, which is on
the outskirts of the town, near the race
track. The drill ground is piece of pas
ture land well sodded. The stables in
the race grounds can be used for horses,
and fine mess room for the men can be
arranged under the grand stand.
The location will be settled at special
meeting next Friday evening, but it is a
forgone conclusion that Vallejo Will be
the place, and August l1th the day to
start.
The Woodland, Auburn, Grass Valley
and Nevada City companies will come 10
Sacramento by rail, and with the city
troops will go by boat to Vallejo. Cap
tain Cooks battery will probably drive
from here to Vallejo, saving transporta-
tion and getting the benefit of the tramp
of eighty miles or so.
The question as to whether or not it will
be brigade camp will be settled by the
staff officers when the time and place is
definitely fixed by the regiment and bat
terry. The Signal Corps will also go into
camp.
1t is on the tapis that a grand division
camp will be held at Santa Cruz next
year, which will take in every company
in the State.

each member of the Police Department is
entitled to an annual vacation of not less

but after reflection and a careful consid-
Grafton of the Act ofthe Legislature under

convinced that there is no authority in
law for the temporary appointment of
persons to take the places OF those on va

appointed for the time being will take the

Shall Samoa Go to Germany

The news that Senator GRAY has intro
duced into Congress a resolution OF inquiry
regarding the political condition OF Samoa
has evidently reached Germany. since IL
appears that the German Foreign ONCE Is
ready TO suggest a single protectorate over
that South Sea archipelago In case the
United States should desire to withdraw
from the Berlin agreement of 1899. Perhaps
1t Is unnecessary to add that Germany In
that case would be willing to exercise the
protectorate.
The resolution OF Senator GRAY is said to
have had its origin In Secretary GREsHAM's
disposition TO overhaul the agreement OF
1889. This conclusion appears the more
probable from the fact that Mr.. CLEVELAND,
In his annual message TO Congress at the
beginning OF the present session. criticised
the action OF his predecessor relating to
Samoa in the following language:
Led By . desire to compose differences and con
tribute the restoration OF order In samoa which
years previous had been the scene OF conflicting
foreign pFstsnsions and native strife the United states

obssTVaaes entered four into the treaty OF
Berlin. thereby becoming Jointly boahd With England

After describing the general features OF
the treaty and the rebellion against King
MALIEToA. led by Chief MATAAFA. who was
defeated and banished. Mr.. CLEVELAND
added that Z" this incident and the events
leading up to 1t signally illustrate the i'm
policy Of entangling alliances with the for
eign powers"
The relation Of Senator GRAY to the for
eiRn policy Of the Administration confirms
the belief that Mr.. GRESHAM has stimu-
lated the introduction OF the resolution.

a report upon the present condition OF
affairs In Samoa and for all correspondence

those affairs and their management. tits
thought that when these documents are
placed before the Senate an attack will be
made upon the compact Of 1859. with view
TO Withdrawing from 1t.
That the system OF government provided
for Samoa by the Berlin treaty has not
proved entirely satisfactory will hardly be
denied. 1t has pleased neither the foreign
residents nor the natives. The task OF at
lacking 1t on that ground will not be dim
cult. But II our country proposes to with
draw from that treaty It should know be-
f0rehand what 1t proposes to substitute.

Undoubtedly. the people OF the Ashland
district In Kentucky are better able now to
form q judgment as to BRECKINRIDdE's
fitness to represent them In Congress. than
they were before the confessions and ex-
posures Of the trial just ended at Washing
ton. His weakness. as he calls 1t. may have
been known to some Of his constituents
when they sent him to Congress. but OF his
utter depravity, as acknowledged by HIM
self on the witness stand, there could have
been no suspicion. II his true character had
been understood he could not have kept
his standing in the Presbyterian church Of
Lexington. II he had been generally
known as q shameless and perfidious liber-
tine he could not have been favorite ora
tor and lecturer before religious bodies and
young ladies' seminaries. He could not
have preserved a reputation for moral and
religious principle among the very people
who know him to be depraved wretch.
He was able to maintain that reputation
only by life Of detestable hypocrisy.
Formerly, therefore. BRECKENRIDGE was
elected to Congress from the Ashland dis
trict. under false pretences. Now his real
character Is fully and particularly known.
nd iap Nor al IN hot ha md ba
vicious. A hypocrite is tolerable by neither.
He Is despised by both. A man who passes
from prayer to lewdness loses the sympathy
OF even the lewd themselves.
The opposition to BRECKENRIDGE Is bitter
In Kentucky. and 1t Is no less strong among
men who are usually lenient to masculine
indulgence than among those who arc
strictest in applying the moral standard.
Just at present the outlook for Demo-
cratic majority In the next Congress is not
overbrilliant. and the party In the Blue
Grass district should not be disposed to
take the risk OF yielding to the wishes OF
BREcKNRIDoE's friends by shouldering
such fellow and losing both Representa-
tive and the respect Of the public. The
Democratic party Is carrying already
pretty heavy load. and it has no strength
left to support the further burden OF this
mans infamy.
Such friends as BREcKNRIDGE has left
will do him a service II they will exhort him
to give up his bravado and his efforts to
bluff the decent sentiment Of society. The
people OF this country want to hear no more
OF him. and to see no more OF him. They
do not desire In their representative"
such gifts" OF hypocrisy as no possesses.
and they have no palliation for such weak
ness" as his, weakness due to a complete
moral rottenness. which he makes the
more odious by insisting on thrusting him
self upon their notice after they all know
OF his infamy.

certainly cannot discharge II properly BY
tipping them out OF the frying pan Of the
triple protsctorate into the flre Of German
domination. The original interference OF
the United States. which resulted In the
Berlin treaty. was undertaken for the
purpose Of preventing exclusive German
control in the islands. And yet the first in
timation OF desire on our part for change
In the system OF government brings a hint
from Berlin that German protectorate
would be the proper remedy.
Tho Berlin treaty contained several fea-
lures which promised trouble. The ma
tives did not get the King whom their
chiefs had indicated az their choice, and the
principles OF the government were novel
and experimental That the system can be
and ought to be improved seems plain.
But In the task OF overhauling this mat
ter. as an affair OF the HARRISON Ad-
minlstration. Mr.. CLEVELAND and Mr..
GRESHAM must take care not to make an
other blunder like that which resulted from
overhaullng and criticising the dealings OF
their predecessors with Hawaii. 1t would
be great blundcr II withdrawal from the
Berlin treaty should simply result In turn
ing over the natives OF Samoa as well as
the interests OF American residents to the
tender mercies either Of Germany alone or
OF Germany and Great Britain together.
