GERMANY IN AFRICA.

Less than fifteen years ago Germany entered
upon a policy of colonization. II has had an
opportunity, therefore, by this time 10 measure
fhc results accomplished by the adoption Of
that policy and to count up lis cost An i'll
corrlgible ranbow-chaser only can extract COM
fort from the official figures recently compiled
by the Imperial Government. And yet. in spite
Of the dIscouragng results attained so far. the
German Government shows no disposition To
part with this expensive toy. nor do the Ger
man people as a whole seem TO regret the
rllices made in behalf Of what to IN outsider
appears little less than an "irdescent dream.
SO far as mere area is concerned Germany
NAV be conceded TO possess a colonial empire
But for the present that empire IS not much
more than a geographical expression IL is a
constant drain Oh the mother country. and
in the nature Of things cannot for years be
anything else than source Of great expense
to her Nor does it attract immigration. as il
was fondly hoped it would by those who wished
to divert the constant stream Of German emf
grafton from the United States. AT present. in
deed the colonies seem TO serve no better pur-
pose than to furnish places for officials and
soldiers. and 10 lay the groundwork for the de-
mandS of ambitions politicians al home for Il
substantial increase in the naval estimates
Only in a small degree do the colonies serve as
an outlet for the constantly increasing surplus
of manufactures annually accommodating In Ger
many Germin trade in this direction at least
is lncreased-if increased az all-at tremendous
cost 10 the taxpayer.
In West Africa. on the Blight of Benin. Guinea
Coast Germany has a small territory called
Togo occupied by her in 1884. In the same
region. with a scacoast opposite the Spanish
island of Fernando Po. she has II much larger
territory. Kamerrn. stretching norIheastward TO
the great Lake Tshad, also acquired In 1884
II contains 500 square miles. and has Il
population of about 3,-OO.WD. South OF the

Is known as German Southwest Africa. which
covers 81 .33S square miles. and has about
100000 inhabitants. lis only good harbor how

British On the east coast Of Africa Germany
has had since 1854 n still larger possession
called German East Africa. It's area Is 3IS. 100

the action Of the Senate has been criticised De-
cause It has sacrificed several millions OF reve-

ing of the probable effect 1t is to be remein-
bered that imports increased under strongi!

prosperity of 1892 were restored.

Senator David b. Hill, in February Forum.
The wisdom of making the silver question
practically the sole or paramount issue in
the recent campaign was serIously doubted
by many influential Democrats who were
soli ,itous for the party's future welfare. To
risk everything upon single issue-and
to be unnecessarily imperiiliDg the fortunes
of Il great political party. But even if IL
was desirable that the free coinage OF sill
yer should be the sole or principal issue
an issue about which honest men may well
dffer-the platform declaring for such coin
age should have been carefully drawn-tts
provisions therefor should have been sur
rounded with every appropriate safeguard.
and IL should nave avoided troublesome
details which needlessly invited criticism.
The issue should have been presented in
such form as to satisfy or AT least pacify
conservative men and not frighten them.
When the real question involved was
whether silver should be coined az all
(other than for subsidiary purposes), IL was
the height Of folly 10 declare for such coin
age at q precise ratio. But II mistake
was made in the form I'm which the silver
question was presented To the country. 1t
was supplemented and ahsnientcd by some
of the other provisions OF the platform
which were equally If not still more OBJ
jectionable A radical change in the Ma
tion's monetary standard. such as was pro-
posed. was itself sufficient TO alarm tho
country without adding any other Offensive
provisions, or provisions of doubtful ex-
pediency. or especially those of a reyolu-
tionary and unprecedented character.

The Greece of To-Day.

To understand the phenomenal rise of

unholy tribute far away from their moth

show of slavish debasement a heart of
sturdy independence that cherished the pa

prominent place in the history of the hu-

that the party which comes into power in
the new administration shall have the op-
portunity to put its policy into operation.
All may not believe in that policy, but the
present has been proved inadequate. and
something else must be tried. 1t is known
that when Congress assemblies. March u,
the Republicans of the House will have a
revenue bill ready to submit which, in its
general features. will embody the policy of
the new administration. 1t is fair TO as
sumo that little time will be taken by the
House To consider and enact that measure.
because the making of tariff has been
greatly sim2lified by the experience of the
past ten years. If there is to be delay it

definitely. A number of those who op-
posed to the Mckinley administration have
declared that they will not delay the carry
ing of the administration tariff measure to
g. vote. All ef them, however, have not
yet volunteered such a promise. While it
is possible that the administration has
votes enough TO pass it's tariff bill in the
Senate. much of the good effect 1t is ex-
pected to accomplish will be lost should
the opposition in the Senate protract its
passage by unnecessary debate until late
in the summer. when it Will be too late
to realize the benefits expected from its
adoption.
1t would be we'll for any senator's who
may imagine that party capital can be
made for any party or any cause by unnec-
essary delay to consider the temper of the
people. If they do they will find that il
