THE PARTITION OF SAMOA.

IRON the present outlook it appears diplomatists
can discern for the Samoan problem no solution
other than that of dividing the islands among
the three powers, and putting end to the expert
ment OF tripartte government Germany has pro-
posed it. Government regards it with favor and it
is believed Great Britain will inerpose objection
The partition OF the islands, however is by no
means desirable thing. The objections to it are so
strong that when the project first preached
rejected almost without consideration. Each OF the
three powers involved in the controversy obtained
foothod for trade in the islands by assuring the
tives that no attempt would be made to subugate
them. Furthermore the powers by solemn treaty
bound themselves to another and the islanders
only respect the independence OF the group but
to guarantee it against assault from other powers.
The disturbances which led up to the conflict in
which American marine and three British sailors
were killed, and which brought about the lombard
ment of the native villages by the American and the
British vessels, primarily due to the
tives That much is made clear by the brief official
dispatch OF Rear Admiral Kautz which has just been
made public. In the dispatch the admiral says
The Mataaa people obeyed orders to leave the
Government reservations. Since then they have be-
come aggressive killing Private Holloway and three
British sailors. Our killed guarding the
American consulate The German Consul General is
amation was untrue and that he would uphold the
provisional government The British forces act in
with those of the United States, shelling reb
els wherever they can be reached"
On the record thus given it appears that the Ger
in the islands have become dissatisfied with
their American and British rivals in business and col
leagues in government that they have deliberately
provoked the outbreak for the purpose of fore
ing dplomatists to accept the partition policy an
alternative the danger OF complications that may
lead to
Doubtless the Germans have had some grievances
OF which they have just right to complain. They are
not likely have acted violently they have done
without cause. Neither the Americans the British
notable for lack OF aggressiveness in trade and
government and in all probability they have at times
crowded their Teutonc cousins little too far Moth
ing they could have done, however would have just-
fed the Germans in taking the they have
adopted in refusing to obey the Supreme Court and in
issuing proclamation denouncing as false the one
issued by the American admiral.
To that extent the German representative at Samoa
is clearly in the wrong and if his Government would
repudate his action it might yet be easy to restore
order and harmony in the islands without destroying
their unity as country and dividing them among the
wrangling powers. 1t appears, however that the Ger
mans at home are too much wrought up the is
for any Minister take the risk OF such repudia
ton Partition, therefore is likely to be accomplished
if the powers can agree the division Of the spos

During the past year no less than eighty
attacks by pirates on those rivers nave
been reported to the authorities, and the
British Consul at Canton has made vigor-
orous complaints to the Viceroy, sug-
costing that the old German torpedo
boats, Of which twelve are lying at
Whampoa, be utilized in suppressing the
piracy. The suggestion was adopted, and
two Of these sixteen-knot boats were sent
ND the West River to break up the river
pirate business.

referred to proof of the inventive genius OF his
scrupulous prosecutors The fact that Dreyfus did not
write the unsigned letter upon which he
vlcted has been ateast presumptyey shown, but an
attempt fasten it upon Count Esterhazy, which ap
peared be we'll founded has legally failed and the
manner of the failure of the numerous degrad-
ing episodes in the prolonged melodrama Esterhazy
was tried for having written the bordereau and
quilted. He then accused of having had treason
able correspondence with foreign atache, and sec
ond acquitta followed. After these proceedings
which in the line of resistance revision OF the
judgment against Dreyfus he practically removed
from the French army for -'incondute habtuele,"
indefinite charge, which may be surmsed that
he habitually guilty of violations of discipline
Esterhazy, however, fed to London where upon his
oath he has published narrative OF his connection
with the Dreyfus that shows astounding fraud in
the General Staff of the French army, limited how
ever, to that particular branch of the service From
his statement, fortified by numerous conhrmatory
documents some OF them original and some of them
photographs, it appears that the determination of the
General Staff, by dark intrgues and falsehoods to
override the sentiment in favor of Dreyfus and per-
petuate the crime of his incarceration, fixed
that subordinate officers induced TO commit the
most reprehensble acts and then shielded in the
first instance from exposure and when that could
be avoided, from conviction. In his own case, he
shows that his habit OF obedience was used in CON
cocted interviews and correspondence and in pubca
tons in the French newspapers to resist the possible
vindication Of Dreyfus and that both OF his trials
the official of his prosecution surreptitiously
furnished him with his defense.
1t is possible although highly improbable, that Drey
us is guilty, but it is beyond argument in any country
where the English language is spoken that his guilt
has been legally proved and that his conviction
and punishment represent tyranny and corruption to
degree absolutely incompatible with the maintenance
OF republican institutions. Our traditional sympathy
with France, love OF self government and
spect for the Court of Cessation inspire the hope that
publicity and law may cleanse the impurities in the
French military service and that justice will be
thoroughly if tardiy indicated.

adopted by Germany, followed by Italy,

AT SENATOR TELLER'S HOME.

7 IHILE Colonel Bryan and his fellow apostles
M OF the cause OF free silver are exerting all their
energies to hold together the organization OF
o. that motley host OF discomfort is rapidly dsap-
pearing from politics. 1t seems indeed to be some
thing like the proverbia rope of sand whose particles
separate from another and slip from the hand of
the weaver no matter how arduousy he bends himself
to the task OF weaving them together.
We have noted the revolt OF the intelligence of the
South against the position in which it has been placed
by the Chicago movement and the demand OF repre-
sentative papers OF that section for leader and
new platform. The people OF the Middle West and of
the Pacific Coast showed by their votes last fall that
among them the old free silver faction had dsnte-
grated and it now appears that in the silver
State OF Colorado similar condition prevails.
From the Denver Times we learn that even in Gil
pin County the home OF Senator Teller the so-called
Silver Republican organization has gone to pieces.
1t quotes from the Gilpn County Miner the state
ment THE Silver Republican party in this county
was murdered in the executive session of the city
vention last Saturday evening, and there is longer
Silver Republican party in Gilpin County" Com
menting upon that report made doubly significant by
the fact that it from what is not only the home
OF Senator Teller but OF the most notable silver
producing districts of the State, the Times says:
Prosperity has changed conditions in Colorado
changed sentiment the fusion of last fall There is
not man in Colorado who does not feel keenly the
disgracefu blot upon the State a result of fusion
Governor Charles S Thomas in recent speech de-
livered at a Democratic meeting said: Fusion
has been demonstrated failure Republicans should
take courage from these little Indications They tell
the story Of the future Denver will go Republican
this spring, the county will go Republican next fall
and the national election in 1900 Colorado will
roll up an old-time majority for the Republican
ticket"
Thus the evidences of returning reason among the
folly inspired hosts that followed Bryan in the last
Presidential campaign multiply every side In the
West the people not only adverse further agi
tation Of the silver movement but Disguised with
the whole system of fusion politics. Not even the
strong personal influence of Senator Teller among his
neghbors, friends and political supporters in his own
city and county prevent that adverse sentiment
and that disgust from manifestng themselves.
Whatever may be the form that opposition to Re
pubcanism takes in 1900 it will not be that which
made much noise in the last campaign In the sun
shine of restored prosperity the old Bryanite fusion
is vanishing like fog from the political sky
