THE SAMOAN WIDOWS GRIEF.
IL Is AssunEed Only by the Retention
of the Family Rinc After Her
Husband Had Dcen Eaten.

The Samoan will give away anything
which he possesses when another MEM
Der of his family comes along and asks
for it. This makes personal property
a most fluctuating matter One thing,
however, is never given away under any
circumstances, and that is the rifle
which each man keeps in good order
and in readiness for the outbreak of
hostilities. No attempt has been made
by the European officials 10 disarr the
natives, but close watch is kept on
the importation of any new munitions
of war. When the yacht John Will
Hams, of the London Missionary So
c!ety, returned from tour Of the sta
lions in New Guinea, which are served.
by Samoan pastors, il brought the sad
news that Ncemia, n respected native
missionary In a remote nook OF the
Cult OF Papua, had been eaten by his
iInperfectly converted congregation.
The mission vessel arrived too late to
save the pastor, but just in time to res
cue his wife Masina, who was defend
ing her house with a single rifle against
a horGe OF savages. Masina was

the knowledge that fof some time to
come she would be n central figure at
all district meetings Of the mission.
where she would be expected to tell her
story. In few days The treaty offi-
Gals received from kirg Malietoa an
Official communication sisred with the
royal manual and duly sealed with the
great seal. In it he recited the can
nibalism which had been practiced
upon Neemia and the bravery of Masina.
In consideration Of these sad events
and the great grief into which the
widow was plunged, he had given her
permission to retain the family rifle and
her store Of ammunition and TO bring
II ashore with her. The mischief had
been done and was beyond repair. All
that remained for the official board to
do was sharply to remind the king that
he had no power to gront landing per-
mits for the contraband munitions Of
war and to assure him that the Ber-
lin treaty took no cognizance of grief
so profound that it must be assuaged
by rihes.--N. Y. Sun.

inst what We Need.

The Americans, with the position
they assume in the world as protectors
Of two continents, need fleet as large
as that of France, and an army of 5o,-
900 men so over-ofiicered in all grades,
and so over-supplied with artillery, en-
gincers and transport, that 1t can be
expanded ut months notice with
trained reservists to 10000 men. This
Is by no means a large Acct for SO pow
crful a state as the union, seated on two
great oceans, with IN jpimense length
Of coast, and with policy and aspira-
lions which can be fulfilled only by
strength at sea. 1t is very small
army in proportion to population, hard
ly more than one-half of what Great
Britain thinks indispensable, after
striking out of the account the force
she maintains In India ard the colonies.

CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE.
Tho Country In Feeling Pretty Conn
Portable After One Year of Nc
Kinley's Administration.

The first full fiscal year of President
McKinley's administration closed with
the beginning of July. The country
| finds. itself in the midst of war
which is being Endorsed by every polit-
ical convention, democratic as well as
republican. This is a new expert
ence for the American people. For the
first time in its history the nation is n
unit in approving and vigorously pros
ecuting the war in which it has be-
come involved. Always before there
has been, in time of war,-as well rs in
advance of it, peace-at-any-price
party. Now that sentiment Is con-
fined to collegiate senility. Herein
President Mckinley has behind him
the whole people as none of his prede-
cessors ever had.
We must wait few days longer for
the statistics of the old fiscal year.
But enough is known to warrant the
assertion that II will make n most en-
couraging showing, especially ms com
pared with the previous fiscal year,
The only basis of comparison now Is
the first II months of last year
and the year before. Our imports
exceeded our exports in those monthG
of 1897 to the amount of $li,4s7,753,
but in 1898 the exports exceeded the
imports, $20S. O03.017. difference in
favor of 1898 of over 1929 100000.
This enormous balance of trade
in our favor has had the effect OF
greatly increasing the country's stock
of gold, the imports Of which during
the II months exceeded the exports
to the amount of $l02,02G,oS5: This
gold has gone into the circulation of
the country, and added that much to
the actual currency of the people.
The total receipts Of the treasury
for the first ten months Of the three
tariffs of-this decade have been pub
lished and serve as powerful statis-
| teal Endorsement of the present add
ministration. The Dingley tariff has
now been in operation ten months.
| The receipts of the treasury for that
! time, exclusive of Pacific railroad
sales, were S2G5,55o,70G. The receipts
! for the first ten months of the Wilson
tariff were 1924 ,43l; for the first
ten months of the Mckinley tariff,
| 1912, 0G2, sos. The results under the
! Dingley tariff were substantially "a
predicted by Mr.. Dingley in his speech
in support of the bill in it's final form
The republican party does not indulge
! in random guesses on matters suscep-
! tible Of close estimates, and its calcu-
! lations, like its promises, can be re.
! lied upon.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

Washington, July 13.-The secretary
of war has ordered the removal of all
the submarine mines which now pro.
tect the harbors of the United States
against the entry of hostile ships. This
action was decided upon at Tuesdays
cabinet meeting. For weeks past, in
fact almost since the beginning of hos.
tilities, the war department has been
deluged with protests from the com
mercial centers of the country against
the continuance of these mines, which
operate to the great detriment OF
commerce.

THE DINGLEY REVENUE.
1t IL by S7O,000,O0O a netter Producer
Than Its Predecessors, the
Wilson Law.

With June 80, the fiscal year, the
government receipts which will be
charged against the Dipgley bill. al
though it did not take effect until July
"a, 1897, came 10 a close. The gross re-
ceipts for the year, subject to revision,
were:
customs .Sli93l2 2g2
Internal revenue. .................. lGS93l,Cll
Miscellaneous ....................... A,7l0.g6
Total $40. 954, 500
Included in the miscellaneous re-
ceipts was S64, 757 ,223 from the Union
Pacific and Kansas Pacific railway sale,
reducing the total revenue from ordi-
nary sources to $33S,203,1SG, against
S347,72l. oOj for the last year of the VIII
son tariff.
As Il matter of fact more than $4O,-
0OO,000 credited to the last fiscal year
under the Wilson law was in the nature
of anticipatory payments for importa-
tons and withdrawal from bond which,
in the ordinary course of business
would have been paid during the fiscal
year 1soT-1S0s and would have added
that much to the receipts under the
Dingley bill while reducing those under
the Wilson law by so much. With this
Just rectifcation il is evident that the
Dingley tariff as revenue producer
was some $70,000,000 better than the
Wilson law II superseded.
