The Samoan Fighting

The fighting In Samoa Is a develop
ment Of the mixed situation which COM
mis,ioners are to be sent to study and
correct, aud the killing of American
and English officers, just reported. EN-
phasizes the propri"ty of Fastening the
work Of the commissioners as much
rs possible America and England have
suffered most in this last incident
Germany 's concern in it being only in
the arrest Of the German planter on
whose farm the rebels ambushed the
American and British force IL is not
to be supposed that the relation If the
three powers will be endangered, as
all alike deplore what has occurred and
are seeking an amicable arrangement
for the better settlement Of Samoan af-
fairs
Surely all three powers have already
lost enough in ships and men to make
them anxious 70 end their jealous squab-
bles over these miserable islands There
was a crisis previously in March. 1889
when the United States, Germany and
England, as now had warships watch
ing each other off Apia. While they
were thus engaged a hurricance caused
the loss Of six warships, with ten other
vessels. on the coral reefs Of the harbOr
and the drowning Of l42 officers and
men Of the American and German
squadrons The Americans lost three
warships and ffty-one men, while the
Germans lost three warships and nine
ty one men. The Calliope, the only
British warship present, saved herself
by steaming ont to sea in the face OF
the storm
To the losses Of that period are now
to be added the killing Of a number OF
Americans and English officers and
men by the rebellious savages. The
islands are not worth the sacrifice. But
there will be some compensation If the
dangerous complications resulting from
President Harrison treaty Of 1890 teach
us the unwisdom Of entangling our
selves in alliances in respect to foreign
territories. The solution offered by
Secretary Bayard, contemplated the
restoration Of Samoa to the Samoans
and predicted when the succeeding ad-
ministration negotiated its brilliant
tripartite treaty that the government IL
provided was absurd and could not work
satisfactorily That treaty has the fatal
defect Of undertaking to govern Somoa
without regard for the wishes or rights

The Films Leaving Home.

A telegram from England says: There
is a great rush Of young Finlanders for
the United States to avoid the recent
autocratic decree of Emperor Nicholas
regarding Finland. for it seems that all
the attempts Of the Firms to check the
recent Russian aggression in Finland
have proved futile. General Bobrikoff,
the new governor general, has compell-
ed Finnish Senate to send orders to all
ministers throughout Finland forbid
ding them even to criticise the impe
rial ukase He has himself supple
mented the edict which makes the Rus
sian language obligatory in the Uni
versity Of Holsingfors and in the schools
of the provinces with an order ordering
Russian coinage and directing that all
old Finnish coins shall be returned to
the mint and removed from circulation.
The Swedish professors at the uni
yersity have been replaced by Russians.
The Cars secret agents, who are active
throughout the country. have been
promising farm hands that as soon as
the Finnish law has been replaced by
the Russian system they shall have all
the land they want. This the Finnish
newspapers say. means theft and spolia-

Bid for the Havana Dock.

The Navy Department at Washington
probably will bid on the steel floating
dock at Havana. if it is put on sale at
auction by the Spanish authorities.
After the ownership Of the dock was
conceded to the Spanish government, on
the ground that it was movable effect d,
the authorities in Washington offered
s275. coo for it. The offer has not been
accepted, and the report that the dock
would be auctioned is taken as a reJec'
tion of the 1915, 900 proposition.
The need Of the dock is somewhat
offset by the recent government pur-
chase of a small floating dock at New
York. capable of docking ? .5OO-ton
vessel aud also by the building Of a
large dock at Algiers, near New Or
leans. The small dock now at New
York will be towed to Pensacola at an
early day, so that with the Algiers dock
the Navy Department will have two
docks available on the Gulf.

GOVERNOR CHANCES TACTICS.
The Governor started out 10 reply 10
Allen in kind, holding him up 10 his
audiences as one whose sole stock in
trade is lot Of ancient and honorable
stories that must have done duty at the
banquets at which Noah and his peo-
pie whiled away their time aboard the
ark but after the first joint debate he
changed his tactics He now does not
mention Aliens name. This change
Of method has not brought any change
on Johns part, however. McLaurin is
no match for Allen on the stump or
the hustings, however, be is the better
politician.
The recent action of the Democratic
State Executive Committee in refusing
Gov. McLaurin's request for general
primary on the Senatorship is likely to
prove far-reaching in its effects. This
proposition was aimed at the black
counties Of the delta" section, and
its purpose was to take away the pow
er which those counties, by reason Of
their population, are able to exercise
in the Legislature. The Governor S
friends used in support of their plan
the same argument which Northern
Republicans are using in their advoc-
acy Of cutting the S0uth's representa-
tion in Congress-that it should be
based on voting strength, not on popu
lation When the new constitution Of
Mississippi, with its suffrage provi-
sion operating 10 practically disfranchize

ties. where the whites are compare.
lively few and the negroes many, were
assured their representation should not
be curtailed. bat that population should
be the basis for representation, as it al
ways has been. The McLaurin plan
would have cut away these rights OF
delta counties. 1t was defeated before
the committee, although Allen had an
nounced he was willing to meet his
opponent in a general primary or in
any other way. Now the delta has it
'in" for McLaurin, and the delta is
power. He had some show in that Sec
tion before, for Allen was being fought
because Of some levee votes in Congress
bat now the delta is solid against Nc
Laurin, and it may hold the balance Of
power
The Legislature which meets in
January has two Senators to elect. one
for a short term and one for the full
term Of six years. beginning in March,
1901. This fight is for the long term.
Senator Sullivan will probably have no
opposition for the short term, although
ex- Gov Lowery may yet be candi-
