THE SAMOAN CASE.

The scheme to annex the Sa-
moan Islands to New Zealand,
after the fashion of RaratOnga, is
not likely to arouse as much OPP
position in America as it will in
the German Empire. The last
message of President Cleveland
showed that the Washington Gov
eminent, having acquired Pago-
Page is sick of the rest of Samoa
and would be glad to escape from
it with honor; and as for the Am
erican people they never cared
much about the Islands, having
made no protest when the Govern
ment so far relaxed the bonds of
the Monroe doctrine as to let the
group slip into the hands of pro
tectorate that was two-thirds Euro
pean. Still, we think, there
would be a sense of relief i'll the
United States if Samoa and its
tattooed denizens could be elimin-
ated, once and for all, from Amer
lean problems Of State.
In Germany, however, another
view is likely to prevail. Differ
ing in this from the American
doctrine Germany has a vigorous
colonial policy, born of a desire tc
be an imperial power in the British
sense and to save for her own use,
as loyal colonists, the thousands
Of stalwart Germans who annually
go to the United States TO be assim,
Hated into the body.politic there.
In Samoa, German influence is very
great in all lines Of business, SC
much so that the majority of the
advertisements printed in the loca'
press are those of German trades
men or merchants. Herein Is
ample cause for such protest against
the New Zealand idea as Germany
is certain to make. Probably the
Inearness of French island posses
sions to Samoa would also be al
incentive to Germany to hold the
Samoan footing she now has.
There are numerous elements o
disCord in such a status as this, the
moral of which seems to be tha'
three Governors for an island grouI
are about as undesirable as three cap
tains for a ship.
