RELATIONS WITH GERMANY.
They Continue to be Of a Most Cor
dial Character.

Our relations with Germany continue
to be most cordial. The increasing IN
timacy of direct association has been
marked during the year by the grant
ing of permission in April for the land
ing on our shores of a cable from BoS-
KUN Emden on the North Sea, by way
of the Azores, and also by the conclu-
sion on September I'd of a parcels post
convention with the German Empire,
which promises closer relations OF IN
tercourse and commerce and better
understanding between the two races
having so many traits in common. Ger
many can be assured Of the most cor
dial cooperation of this Government
and people We may be rivals in many
material paths, but our rivalry should
be generous and open, ever aiming to-
ward the attainment of larger results
and the most beneficial advancement OF
each in the line of it's especial adapta-
bility.
The several governments of the EN-
pire seem reluctant to admit the nat
ural excellence of our food products, and
to accept the evidence we constantly
tender of the care with which purity is
guarded by rigid inspection from the
farm, through the slaughter-house and
the packing establishments to the rort
of shipment. Our system of control
over exported food staples invites ex-
animation from any quarter, and chal-
lenges the respect by it's efficient thor
oughness.
1t is hoped that in time the two
Governments will act in common &C
cord toward the realization of their
common purpose to safeguard the pub
lie health, and to the insuring purity
and wholesomeness of all food products
imported by either country from the
other. Were Congress to authorize an
invitation to Germany in accordance
with the pending reciprocity negotia-
lions for the organization of joint
commission of scientific experts and
practical men of affairs to conduct a
searching investigation of food produc-
tons and expectation in both countries,
and report to their respective I.egE-
latureS for the adoption of such reme-
dial measures as they might recon-
mend for either, the way might b
opened for the desirable results indi-
Gated.
The efforts to obtain for American
life insurance companies a full hear
ing as to their business operations in
Prussia have, after several years of
patient representation, happily succeed
ed, and one of the most important
American companies has been granted
a concession to continue business in
that kingdom.
l am also led to announce that Ger
man insurance companies have been re-
admitted by the Superintendent Of In
surance to do business in the State of
New York.
CAROLINE ISLANDS.
Subsequent to the exchange of Our
peace treaty with Spain, Germany ac-
quired the Caroline Islands by pur-
chase, paying therefor S5,000,00O. AS
surances have been received from the
German Government that the rights of
American missionaries and traders
there will be considerably observed.

DISRUPTED CENTRAL AMERICAN
REPUBLIC.
The experimental association of Mic
aragua, Honduras and Salvador, under
the title of the Greater Republic of
Central America, when apparently on
the threshold of a complete Federal or
ganization by the adoption of a Consti-
tuition and the formation of a National
LEGISLATURE, was disrupted in the last
days of November, 1898, by the with
drawal of Salvador. Thereupon Mic
aragua and Honduras abandoned the
Joint compact, each resuming its for
mer Independent sovereignty. This
was followed by the reception OF Min
lister Merry by the republics OF Nicara-
qua and Salvador, while Minister Hun
ter in turn, presented his credentials to
the Government of Honduras, thus re-
verting to the old distribution of the
diplomatic agencies of the United
States in Central America for which
our existing statutes provide.

The protest OF the newspaper CORE
spondents at Manila against a press cen-
sorship that prevented them sending the
truth of the situation to their home pa.
pers, and that transformed many of
their dispatches into deliberate misre-
presentations, has awakened the people
of this country to the fact-long sus-
pected by many of them--that the cam
paign in the Philippines has been a flat
failure. Despite his large force of
fighting men; despite the inferiority of
the enemy; despite the splendid fighting
achievements of our soldiers; despite
the manner in which the Filipinos fled
from every attack, General Otis has
not gained an inch of ground. He is in
about the same position now as when
he began offensive operations last Feb
ruary.
1t is hard to ascriSe the reasons fol
this ignominiOus failure. In the first
place, the war is an unjust war, with
out a good cause or an honest purpose.
This, of itself, is sufficient reason why
it should fail. In the second place, il
has been mismanaged in a that

Important Decision to Collectors


Judge Shipman last Friday, sitting
III the Circuit Court at Be!yidere, rem
dertd II decision that Is of much inter-
est to collectors and town authorities of
the State. David Is. Stout, formerly
Collector of Harmony township, War
rem county, sued the township Tor fees
which he claimed to be due him, and
which the township attorney contend
ed were not legal. A friendly suit was
agreed upon for the purpose Of decid-
ing just what fees a Collector was ell
titled to. The case was before Judge
Gummere, and on account of his sick
ness was turned over 10 his asSsialS-
Judge ShipmaU.
Last Friday Judge Shipmau read his
opinion and held that Il collector was
entitled to Il cents a name for each
name appearing on the duplicate, but
was not entitled to charge for the same
name appearing more than once, and
that he was entitled to the L cents on
ly where he actually collected the taxes.
1t has been customary for most collect
ors to charge l. cents for each name on
the duplicate, whether they collected
the tax or not. lie also held that the
collector was not entitled to the five

1t is not difficult to understand why
the President chose Mr.. Elihu Root, of
New York, an eminent lawyer, to sue
coed Secretary Alger, at the head oil
the War Department. While this ad
m~inistratiOn, as a result of the wal with
Spain, has had more legal questions,
and more difficult ones TO deal with
than usually falls to the lot of a single
administration, the present Cabinet has
less legal talent than almost any Presi-
DENTS Cabinet has ever had. AS it. now
stands, Secretary Long and Attorney
General Griggs are the only lawyers in
the Cabinet. Secretary Hay aud Post
master General Smith are newspaper
men; Secretaries Gage and Hitchcock,
are Business men, and Secretary Will
son is a practical farmer and agricul-
tural expert. Another good lawyer was
needed in the Cabinet, and President
Mckinley in common with nearly every
body else, thinks that Mr., Root will ill
the bill. Ii public commentator count
ed for anything it would be certain that
Secretary Root would become a very
popular official, but it will really de-
pend largely upon what occurs i'll the
Philippines. If we win in all the fight
ing and no scandals develop in connec
tIon with the army over there, every
body will sing Secretary Roots praises.
But if things go wrong in any way
when there is fighting on hand, the
American people have a habit, as old
as the government, of holding the Sec
rotary of War responsible, and the new
Secretary will have to take his chances.
In any event, he is not likely to find
the War Department a bed of roses.
