The Waller Case.

There was talk OF strained relations at
one time between the United States and
France on account Of the Waller case.
From the reports OF the case received in
this country the impression was that John
L. Waller. ex-United States consul at Ia
matave, had been cruelty and unjustly
treated by the French government. II
was asserted that Waller had extremely
valuable concessions from the Hovas. in
Madagascar. and that the French. who
were at war with the HOvas, had arrested
and imprisoned Waller in order to de-
priye him Of his concessions.
The report which the Secretary of State
made on the case. and which was pub
lished in our dispatches yesterday, justi-
hes the conclusion that Waller is not the
sort OF man he represented himself to be.
He not only made misstatements to this
government, but he appears 10 have been
engaged I'm schemes in Madagascar that
would have been injurious TO Americans
there if they had been carried into effect.
The conclusion the Secretary of State
reached is that Waller was properly con-
while he does not say 50. the inference
from what he does say appears TO be that
Waller deserved all the punishment he
received at the hands of the French, and
that he ought to be thankful that ne
wasn't shot instead of being sent TO
France, as a prisoner Now that the facts
of his case are known there wouldn't
have been great grief IL he had been shot.
When it is remembered that he has cost
the United States government a great deal
Of trouble besides more than 1890 for
getting his family from Madagascar to
this country. it is doubtful if anybody in
congress will say a word in his behalf
when the report of the Secretary of State
in his case comes up for action. There
are too many such fellows as he is, who,
other countries. depend upon their Amer
lean citizenship to protect them from the
consequences of their conduct
Now that the facts are known it will
will be interesting to see what those re
publican papers that bitterly attacked the
administration for not being more active
in Walters behalf will have to say. They
seemed to think the only reason war
against France was not declared, because
of what they were pleased to call the Wal
Ter outrage, was that he was a negro.
1t is not always advisable to jump on the
administration with both feet in respect
TO any matter before the facts are known.

The War cloud Passing.

Tho reference 10 the Venezuela matter
In the queens address on the opening OF
parliament and the comments Of Lord
Bosebery and Lord Salisbury thereon.
seem % justify the conclusion that the
danger of a rupture OF the friendly rela-
tions between the United States and Great
Britain is much less imminent than il was
a few weeks ago. There has been cor
rlspordencc between the United States and
Great Britain recently. which. If what
Lord Salisbury said is rightly understood,
viii probably lead to an adjustment Of the
Venezuelan dispute. There isn't any hint
Of course. OF the nature Of the correspon-
dence. or Of what suggestions or PROPOSE
tions. II any. it contains. From the con-
hdent way Lord Salisbury spoke. how
ever. il seems fair to assume that Great
Britain is prepared to make some conces-
sions.
II seems to us chat Lord Salisbury's
statement that the will Of an arbitrator
might hand over 1000 British subjects to
Venezuela is an admission that
England's only claim TO a large
part Of the territory in dis
pute is based almost wholly on the fact
that it is occupied by English subjects.
That being the case. Il is easy to under
stand his statement that a settlement is
likely to be reached by means Of negoti-
alton and arbitration. The ques-
ton OF the ownership OF some
parts of the disputed territory will
be arbitrated and other parts-parts
occupied by English settlers-will be pur-
chased by England. If by arbitration it
should be decided that the title to it is
in Venezuela. The privilege of purchase
will be agreed to probably before there is
consent to arbitration.
A happy ending of the dispute will be
very gratifying in both this country and
England. While there is no doubt that
this country would uphold President
Cleveland in the position he took in his
Venezuelan message. whatever the con-
sequences might be. still war. with all
its attendant horrors, is not desired.

Gnve Her Doll to Kiss.

Copcerning kissing in Japan, Mr.. Zoji
Takado, Japanese gentleman of Shikohn,
told an amusing tale the other day, says
the Philadelphia Times. He said:
IN my country we have not the kiss.
1t is custom unknown. The husband
never kisses the wife. The mother never
kisses the child. To the Japanese mind
the custom appears disgusting. Think
men, OF what we endured in the tale
Il was a youth at the time and one
OF a class OF forty young men who learned
EngliSh and other things from a Chris
tan missionary woman from America
Every day when the lady met us at the
scnool her first act was 70 kiss us ALL
The expression of repulsion upon the
race OF the narrator at this moment was
almost tragic. He continued: I'VE dread
ded that kiss beyond any pleasure of
study, but we were powerless. The lady
Iolo US II was the English custom to ex-
press Kind feeling and affection, and she
loved us all. At last it drew near to the
holiday time of Christmas and we con-
suited together about a gift which might
help us and crafty the teacher. We de-
cided to buy her a doll. We did so. It
was a Japanese doll, very tall" and Mr.
Takado held his hand breast high to show
the stature.
THAT doll cost many dollars of your
money, for its raiment was very rich, of
silk and embroidery. My comrades ap-
pointed me to write the address of presen-
tation. l expressed in il all our affection
and good wishes, and said that to show
always how much we appreciated the
kindness of our teacher, we desired to Of
fer her beautiful doll which we hoped
she would be pleased to kiss instead of us.
Then we awaited the next meeting of
the class in suspense. When it was the
day and the time our teacher came She
did not kiss us. She sat down with tears
in her eyes. When she spoke she thanked
US from the bottom of her heart for the
gift we had presented, and said L love
you so much more for 1t, my dear pupils
that will not kiss you once-you must
each kiss me twice And we had to do it
eighty kisses"
