A German warship mas appeared at Port
au Prince. The object OF the visit may be
merely a desire on the part OF the com
mander, or perhaps of the Kaiser, to wish
President Sambo Sam a merry Christmas,
but the Haitians are of another opinion.
They fear that their Government will be
requested to pay another sum due a Ger
man subject, under the p. 4. q. conditions
which marked the Luders incident two
years ago. The moral Of the situation ap-
pears TO be that the United States is taking
serious risks of a foreign occupation Of
Haiti one of these days, if the so-called
Republic be not taken under an American
protectorate pretty soon. It is not fit TO
govern itself, and apparently is unable TO
observe its obligations to foreign States
and their citizens. Yet the island is the
richest one Of the Antilles, and under civ
iIized control would again become the
mine of wealth it was before the rebellion
and overthrow OF the French colonial au-
thority.

We should say not. Otis has not had any

Orders have been issued covering the
withdrawal of an additional contingent of
white troops from India for service in
South Africa. This action is widely taken
to Indicate that Great Britain has been
made safe from Russian aggressions on the
Indian frontier by assurances from Ger
many that the Kaiser will not permit the
Car to take advantage Of the present
situation in military way. 1t does seem
to furnish strong support for the belief
that England and Germany have entered

Mr.. Hanna Is taking effcacious steps to
assure himself of the support of a solid
South in future Republican conventions.
He would not allow the rotten borough rep
resentation Of the section 10 be interfered
with by Mr.. Payne, and now his henchmen
in Congress are preparing plan to reduce
the Congressional representation of the
Southern States in the proportion that they
have disfranchised voters. The attempt will
be productive of lively fight if it is in
tended seriously, which is open TO doubt.
The white element which the Republican
leaders have been trying for several years
10 attract by means of patronage and the
gold cult, will take to the woods at the
first suggestion of political punishment for
changes in the Southern State franchise ar
rangements. and we do not think the ma
chine leaders will care to excite its active
