San Diego, Cal, JAM 26.-The British

Black fell dead. from heart disease.
First Mate Lawson took charge, and

ARREST OF AMERICAN CITIZENS IN
GERMANY.

The recent arrest and detention In
Germany of some naturalized American
citizens on the alleged ground of owing
military service may revive contro-
versy which, first and last, has given the
United States much trouble. For a
time most of the governments of Europe
asserted tenaciously the claim Of military
service against naturalized American
citizens returning to their native land.
After good deal CT friction and CORE
spondence the United States finally sue
ceeded in forming treaties with most of
the European governments, including
Germany, covering the main points of
the question. Most of these treaties pro-
vide that the immigrant shall only be re-
leased from military service after full
naturalization, and not merely by the
taking out of first papers. In other
words, there must have been an actual
residence of five years in the United
States and completion of all the steps
to citizenship before the person can
claim the protection of this government.
In some of the treaties it is further pro-
vided that where the emigrant has left
his native country owing military duty.
the right to exact which was complete
before his departure, such service may be
enforced upon his return in spite of in
tervening naturalization. If there is
such a provision in the treaty with Ger
many, German-American citizens who
left the old country owing military serv-
ice are in some danger of arrest If they
return. All our treaties with European
countries provide that naturalization
shall not protect a person from punish
ment for crimes or offenses committed
before emigration, If he returns to his
native country. By the laws of those
countries emigrating without leave while
owing military service is deemed deser-
ton and punishable as such.
The mere possession OF passport does
not afford complete protection. The law
provides that passports shall only be is
sued to citizens of the United States,
and the possession of such document
is prima facie evidence that the holder
is such citizen. Still, passport is not
as strong or sacred a document as many
persons imagine. and if obtained by
fraud or issued under misrepresentation
of facts it is of no validity. In the cases
recently reported it Will become the duty
of this government to institute an i'm
mediate investigation as to the facts.
and if the persons arrested are entitled
to protection they should have it. A
good deal depends, however, on the pro-
visions of our treaty with Germany, and
especially on the fact whether they owed
military duty when they left that coun-
try

TO suggest that if the Missouri authors
would produce literature equal to that

vored in the same way. No one thought
to say that IL Westerner should write

in an Eastern magazine, willing and
able to discover the merits Of the work.
Perhaps these hints would have done no
good. Perhaps the authors Of Missouri
are convinced that they already produce
work of just as high quality, and per-
haps they do. If so, it is certainly I'M
fortunate that they cannot convince OBJ
fuse and obdurate Eastern editors, and
they will be doing a service to the public

azine and giving their lucubrations TO

A BASELESS GRIEVANCE.

The Western Authors and Artists
Club had a meeting in Kansas City the
other day This club, if not an infringe
ment upon, is at least an imitation of
our own Western Association of Writers,
but as imitation is sincerest f1attery, no
criticism need be made upon it on this ac
count. It's members were a unit in con-
demnation of Eastern publishers for
their failure to recognize and encourage
Western talent. and it was argued that
each State should have a magazine of its
own in order that local literature should
be supported and its growth aided. 1T

that the East will support Western lit
erature. The West has reached it's ma

self 1t is impossible for Eastern editors
10 watch the growth of young writers
who are a thousand miles away. Several
of our gray-haired authors. well known
i'm the West and South. are still treated
as cadets by the Eastern editors"
1t was also pointed out that the East
was neglecting native and foreign liter
allure. These sentiments received gem
eral approval. and no one rose to the de-
tense of Eastern publishers TO point out
that at least half of the contributors to
almost any issue of any leading maya
zine are now. or have been, residents of
the West or South. Even the editors of
several OF these periodicals came frcin
the West. and 1t seems unjust TO charge
them with discriminating against the
writer of their former homes-especially
as facts do not support the charge. 1t

During the two days Mrs. Cleveland and

prior TO their departure to Gray Gables,
the gates to the white lot were closed
against the public, indicating renewal
of the fears which periodically assail those
surrounding the President and his family
that kidnapping. scheme is afoot. Threat
ening letters and warnings received
almost daily at the White House. Most
of them are the harmless productions of
disordered minds or silly fakes, but those
whose duty it is to watch over and guard
the President and his children can never
bring themselves to feel that they would
be doing exactly the right thing to ignore
the m.ssiyes ENTIRELY, especially when they
begin coming in with increasing frequency.
1t is the almost invaTiable rule that the
crank letters come faster during an I'M
usually heated term. such as visited Wash
ington last week. Hence the White House
force felt warranted in employing extra
precautions the last days of Mrs Cleve-
lands stay here. Not that there was
thought to be any real danger of annoy
ance or worse, but then there might be.
and the cautious men in charge did not
propose to take any chances.

TRUE CAUSE OF BUSINESS REVIVAL.

The Democratic press is very happy
over the slow recovery of business and
Industry. Every little advance of wages
is heralded. Then these scattering an
nouncements are collected, revised, en-
larged and published in long articles.
They attribute it TO the Democratic tar
iff. which was so VIGOROUSLY bad when
II became a law that only few ire
sponsible Democrats. like Senator voor-
hees. defended Ii in the campaign of 1894
Now that business is improving. these
free-trade organs which denounced the
tariff made by the Sugar Trust are ap-
rlauding it as the measure which has
brought prosperity or the increasing
signs of IL to the country.
The free-trade Democratic organ is
wrong, as usual. From the date OF the
passage of the Democratic tariff act un-
til after the election in November, 1894,
there was not sign of what could be
called recovery in the great industries
of the country. a few factories had
started up with reduced wages, but with
no promise OF continued employment.
There was yet uncertainty. The admin
istration and the Democratic House
made a fight before the country for the
Endorsement of it's tariff. So vigorously
was the battle fought that Republicans
scarcely claimed a majority of the
House. while the party which had made
the tariff was confident that majority
such as had made the tariff law would
be returped. If returned. their work
would he Endorsed and the German act
would be further Wilsonized
In the election the Democracy which
made the present tariff was smitten
down in nearly every State in which
there is fair election and an honest
count, as party was never before
smitten <at the polls. It's tariff law and
tariff policy were the issue, and both
were condemned by a popular verdict
without parallel in the history of popu-
lar government. In the States where
real elections are held the majority
against the tariff for revenue or rather
for deficits only, was hundreds Of
thousands. A Congress was elected in
which the free-trade party has not the
one-third necessary to prevent suspen-
sion Of the rules.
Everybody but the free-trade propa-
gandists and their organs knew that that
election so condemned the policy of
free trade that it cannot be an element
in American elections for years. The
country knows that the verdict of that
same election was that the policy of this
country, so far as tariffs are concerned,
shall be protective. None saw this
more readily than manufacturers and
business men. They saw that no more
of the home markets would be given
to foreign competitors by future Con-
crosses. but that all future legislation
would strengthen the defenses of Ameri-
can labor and capital. Very naturally
they resolved to fight to retain their po-
sition, assured that in two or three years
it would be strengthened by protective
legislation. They know that they have
seen the worst and have absolute con-
fidence in a better future. 1t is this as
surance which has caused business to
improve from day to day since the cleo
ton last November.

dollars, and our nickels and cents to the
amount Of Is cents. though these as well
as the subsidiary silver coins are re-
deemable in gold at any subtreasury in
sums OF $50 or more. In ordinary bust
ness transactions no notice is taken of
these different legal-tender qualities, and
there Is no reason to believe that they
affect the value of our different kinds
of currency in the slightest degree. A
man who has a debt of several hundred
dollars TO pay may take up his note in
bank with several different kinds of cur
rency Of different legal-tender qualities,
or If he pays his creditor directly the
latter makes no distinction between
greenbacks, which are full legal tender,
and national bank notes, which are not
legal tender at ALL If any part Of the
currency is in coin he will take silver as
readily as gold. and silver half-dollars
or quarter-dollars, whose legal-tender
quality is limited, as readily as silver
dollars, which are legal tender to any
amount He does this because of the
universally recognized fact that all our
currency, greenbacks, national bank
notes. silver certificates, silver dollars
and subsidiary silver coin are practically
redeemable in gold. 1t is this and not
the legal-tender quality that keeps all
our different kinds of currency at par.
1t is the knowledge that the faith of the
government is pledged to maintain the
parity OF the different kinds of money,
and that with a restricted silver coinage
it is able to do so, that keeps them at par.
Once let the government embark on the
shoreless sea of free and unlimited silver
coinage and no amount of legal-tender
legislation could keep silver and other
currencies at par with gold.
Finally, it is to be remarked that the
legal-tender quality IN any case only APP
plies to the payment Of debts or the
liquidation of contracts not otherwise
specified. No legislation can prevent
persons from making contracts payable
in a specific kind OF money or can COM
pei one to accept in payment for goods
or property currency which he dis
trusts Legal tender may for short
time enable dishonest men to pay their
debts in dishonest money, but 1t cannot
give such money circulation. In short,
the functions of legal tender are very
technical and very restricted.
