TUE SAMOAN EMBODIMENT.

Announcement Of an agreement or the ro"eiS
upon a method Of settling the Samoan trouoie Is
made simultaneously with the arrival OF ue
tailed explanations of the latest outbreak d.
ANA Between the two there is certain sug
gestve connection. The plan OF settlement Is
based upon concerted action of the Powers Inc
outbreak was due, apparently, to the Powers OF
their representatives, playing at cross purposes
According to advices from Apa. Admiral
Kautz. on arriving at that port, set ABOUT 10
abolish the Provisional Government and TO re-
stora the normal and legal status. Having as
sured himself TO his satisfaction that the time
was opportune for 80 doing, he held council
of all the consuls and commanders OF warships
An the harbor for consideration Of the matter.
Presumably the British and American officers
agreed with him and the German did not. Act
ing upon the two-thirds authority thus given TO
him, he thereupon issued proclamation. over
lis own signature, declaring that the Provl-
sional Government could no longer be recog-
uized and calling upon Mataafa to abandon his
pretensions to the Kingship and disperse his FOL
lowers quietly 1t is said that Mataafa was
actually obeying this command when the Ger
man Consu! issued @ counter proclamation de-
nouncing that of Admiral Kautz as untrue. and
saying that he would continue TO recognize the
Provisional Government. At that Mataafa and
his men turned back and prepared for war, and
the bombardment ensued.
That Is the story. presumably true In the
main. The question that naturally arises first is
whether or not II was proper TO dismiss the Pro-
visional Government 1t can scarcely be dis
puted that that Government had no warrant
under the Treaty of Berlin. and that 1t was not
constituted by the Powers. 1t was a mere
makeshift, arranged for temporary purpose, 10
wit, the restoration Of order, by the consuls and
captains at Apia, on their own responsibility.
As soon as it had served its purpose and the
emergency for which 1t was created had passed
Il was properly to be abolished And the samc
mower that created ii, TO wit, the consuls and
captains was competent TO abolish It without
reference TO the home Governments Of the three
nations The question whether It was Jet time
10 abolish II, whether the emergency had passed,
seems to be answered by the fact that Mataafa
and his followers assented to such action and
were ready TO dispense in peace. The final
ouestlOn is whether twO-thirds vote OF the
consuls and captains was sufficient or a unani-
nous vote should have been had. Tho Pro-
visional Government was we believe, constl-
tuted by unanimous vote. There is, then room
for argument that II could be dismissed by
nothing less In that view Of the case Germany
may claim that Admiral Kautz acted hastily or
without due authority.
At any rate, the trouble arose from the d.
vision Of counsel and action. When all three
consuls agreed on the Provisional Government
order was restored. When they disagreed over

BACK AGAIN TO JERSEY.

The 4th New-Jersey Volunteers are once
more private citizens. The regiment was re-
cruited mainly from the 4th Regiment, National
Guard known in Jersey City as the Dandy
Fourth" and last night everybody in that town
seemed 10 be on the streets and at the win
dows TO welcome the soldiers on their return.
Some wild stories had preceded them about
their conduct on route from Greenvllle S. G..
They were represented as robbing and plumber
ing right and left, and from several cities came
urld tales Of how they had been frightening
the natives by wild and amless pistol practice.
One Virginia farmer who believed himself n
victim OF Jersey acqusitveness went so far
as TO write to the Secretary OF War saying that
a member of the 4th Regiment had kidnapped,
abducted and carried off his pet goat in fact
his only goat.
To all these allegations the Jerseymen plead
not guilty. They do admit that few OF the
boys were somewhat hilarious at the prospect
of returning home after months OF weary and
monotonous camp life, but not n particle fur
Their will they go in the way of confessing to
misdeeds. AS testimony of good character they
point to the reports Of Regular Army officers
who visited them in camp and made the most
1attering comments on their discipline, con-
duct and soldlerly appearance

4 TSEFTL DISCUSSION.

Here and there we still come across foolish
utterance to the effect that expressions OF hos
tllity 10 the rapid-tr transit conditions imposed by
the Metropolitan managers are premature, and
therefore 10 be deprecated. With reference to
this complaint it may be said in the first place
that silence was impossible Intelligent citizens
were absolutely certain to speak freely so soon
as they perceived the real character OF the Met
ropotan company's proposals In the second
place, the quick development and manifestation
of public sentiment have tended not to diminish
hut TO enhance the marketable value Of the
franchise which the Commission Is seeking full
power TO sell. A realization on the part of cap
italists and corporations that the people place
high estimate upon the privilege of constructing
and operating underground roads is altogether
likely to increase their interest in the scheme
and strengthen competition Just how much real
earnestness and capacity may he represented in
the various negotiations which are said to be
under way we do not pretend TO know. but we
cannot believe that any advances which ought
to be favorably regarded by the city are going to
be discoura ged by discussion that enlarges the
general conception OF the opportunities sought
by the shrewd men in control Of the Metropoi-
tan system.
We do not know what the members Of the
Commission think about il. but In our opinion
the present display Of opposition to some feat
ures Of the Metropolitan programme is strength
ening their position. and will help them to make
excellent use OF the authority which they ask
the Legislature to bestow upon them. We have
no doubt that the amendments to the Rapid
Transit act ought TO be promptly passed Mr.
Orr and his colleagues possess and deserve the
public confidence. They have served the COM
munlty wisely, faithfully and pcrsistently for
years in the face of obstacles which men of in
firm purpose or less disinterested spirit would
have deemed insuperable. We believe that the
passage of the amendments would enable them
TO complete their task on terms satisfactory to
the public

its dismissal. and their disagreement became
known to the natives. trouble broke out again.
Nothing could more strongly emphasize the ne
cessty Of harmony among the three Powers, so
Icing as they are leagued together in the trpar-
ttc system. Happily. therefore, 1t has just
been agreed that the Joint High Commission Of
the Powers, which is TO proceed 10 Samoa TO re-
adjust affairs there, IS to act on unanimous vote
and not on majority vote. 1t may often be
harder to get 4 unanimous vote than major
ity and it may be that thus action will be
slower than 1t would IL agreement of two of the
three were sufficient. But it will be far safer
and better in the end. Divided counsels in the
face Of rebellious natives have proved disas-
trous And with Commission of the right
character unanimous agreement and an unbro-
ken front ought not to be impossible to obtain

Christian charity for the Rev. Mr.. Slicer to

like Mr. Slicer he wanted TO keep his feet out
of the trough. and took the grapes where he
could eat them more gracefully. At any rate.
Mr. Scer runs n great risk in making fun OF
the nobility, and we shall not blame Lord Gar
diner If he has the minister indicted along

MR.. TANAMEE'S WITHDRAWAL.

Governor Roosevelt Is entitled to great credit
for the manly course he has taken after discov-
cring that he had been led into making an I'M
wise nomination for Commissioner in Lunacy.
The temptation to most men in his position
would be TO persist in mistaken course for the
sake of dignity. But Governor Roosevelt evil
IDENTIFY understands that the measure Of a mans
success Is less the extent to which he avoids
mistakes than the extent TO which he corrects
them. His withdrawal Of Mr.. Vanamee is an
other testimony to his firm determination TO
give this State good government far as 1t is
In his power. to correct every error he can even
II 1t Is his own and to take advantage Of every
bit Of new knowledge bearing on his work even
If that knowledge requires a change Of policy on
his part
The Governor. though feeling obliged to with
draw the nomination Of Mr. Vanamee, has
treated him with great courtesy and expressed
high appreciation Of his personal worth. 1t is
only fair TO say that Mr.. vanamee has taken a
highly honorable part in this matter. and. as he
shows in letter printed elsewhere in this issue,
he accepted the office rendered him with no
thought that his Maynard speech was Of impor-
lance From his point Of view. of course, 1t was
not, and he might naturally forget ii. and
need not be surprised that even now he does not
see the justice of the objection. though he grace
fully yields to 1t. We cannot. however, agree
with him that we continue in wantonness TO
rake over Judge Maynard's grave. For the per
sonal virtues of Judge Maynard we have the
highest respect. and would not willingly wound
anybody for their devotion to him. II is not
who drag up his name. but the politicians who
will never accept the verdict on his action and
year after year 60 on seeking to be publicly re-
warded for doing what he did. Hill and Dan
forth came TO tell us that, though they were
Maynard's partners. the people must pardon
them, Notwithstanding that they punished May
nard We respect Mr.. Nanamees devotion to
his friend and his tenderness TO his memory.
We are glad to publish his letter, and we like
him for II rs q man. even If we cannot believe il
would have been good public policy for him TO
be placed in office by the Republican party
And that objection rests not on any ll-wll 10
him or to Judge Maynard. but on the principle
that the people cannot afford to admit the least
reversal of the verdict they have several times
passed when the subject has been forced upon
them.
Governor Roosevelt now has the question Of a
Commissioner in Lunacy before him as II was
at the beginning. and 1t Is to be hoped that he
will be able to solve It in accordance with Civil
Service reform principles and secure a Com
politics. as it has been from it's organization.
