Makeshifts to give the Berlin treaty prac-

they do not permanently postpone the ulti-

ship must be dissolved and a settlement

is wise to procrastinate further, whether it
would not be better to proceed at once with
negotiations looking to some amicable ad-

powers are waiting from year to year in
the hope that some chance emergency may
precipitate or permit solution. The problem
would be better solved in peace than by
conflict such as might readily develop if the
crisis should be developed in consequence
of some untoward happening. The powers
will never be in better relations for the nec-
essary bargaining than they now are.

two of the three retire in exchange for

Republican Action Needed
From the staunton Cya.) News.

The Washington Star, which is one of
the cleanest and best of republican papers,
asks the gold democrats the following ques-
tiOnS:
Why should the gold democrats put up
a separate ticket next year? Why irnperil
sound money success by division of sound
money strength? Why not, in 1886, make
their votes count for all that they may be
worth? If Mr.. Bryan is renominated. silver
will again be his issue. and again such re-
publicans as are opposed TO the gold stand
numerous as before, but in whatever num-
bers they may be they will not make a
nomination of their own. They will make
their votes count double, by not only with
holding them from the republican ticket
but by casting them for the democratic
ticket. Why should not the gold democrats
do as much for sound money!"
The gold democrats have some questions
to ask the republicans before they pull any
Why did you not, in the last Congress, pro-
pose and vigorously push some legislation
to fix the gold standard rrevocabIy for six
years at least? Why did you not try to
put the greenbacks in such q position that
they could no longer operate to drain gold
out Of the treasury, and why did you not
offer some plan to supply safe flexible
bank currency that would remove the in
centive to crazes for some kind of abundant
cheap money? Having disappointed the
gold democrats in all these matters at the
you propose to do at the coming session to
put the country on a sound basis that needs
no artificial props to keep 1t sound?
When the gold democrats see YOU do
something to win their respect will be time
enough to ask them to help you.

Change of Sentiment Abroad.

Archbishop Ireland returned last week
from a six months stay abroad, and re-
ported finding increased respect and friend
ship for the United States throughout his
Journey. He visited England, Ireland,
France Belgium and Italy. and by virtue Of
his high office and great talents met many
men of influence and representative posi-
ton. He came in contact thus with the
best sentiment, and he found his country
in favor wherever he went.
Thomas B. Reed. who is now in London,
makes in an expression to the press sim
liar report. He, too, has been travelling on
the continent, and by virtue of his distin-
guished reputation has met representative
men wherever he has been. He finds every
where a desire for friendship with the
United States.
What explains this? Nothing, of course,
but our response to the national sense of
the national duty in the matter of Cuba.
The country voted for war upon grounds of
humanity, and the war was prosecuted
with an energy and success which favor
ably impressed all the world. We have
now the worlds admiration and good will.
They are valuable possession. We should
cherish them And yet there are Aueri-
can who would have us forfeit them by the
adoption of a policy apologizing for our
course and surrendering all the fruits of
the valor shown at Manila and at Santiago.
Both Archbishop Ireland and Mr.. Reed
speak for spec dy termination of our diff
culties in the Philippines. That is sincerely
hoped for here at home That is the pur-
pose Of the administration. But those diff
culties can be ended only In one way The
American authority must be recognized.

The Gossip About Dewey.

Now that the campaign about Admiral

may be well in the interests of truth and
the public entertainment to keep tab on
the gossips. Their start, it must be ad-
ulitted. is not promising. 1t is rather be-
low the mark of enterprise Of that sort.
The first three yarns have promptly been
knocked into a cooked hat The admiral
has established the fact by his appearance
as well as by his assertions that his health
is good. He had but to smile to dispose
of the Austrian emperor's snub. And now
he says concerning his alleged interview
predicting war with Germany: II long ago
gave UP denying or affirming newspaper
reports" Which may be accepted as dis
posing of that
But a bad beginning sometimes makes
good ending It would not be fair to the
gossips to judge them by these first per-
foImances. They may be merely sparring

veloping the degree of his sensitiveness
and the manner and quality of his reply.
They may do better after bit of practice
after a few leads which have served, If
no other purpose to reveal the proper line

discuss the subject of domestic politics.
Walt until the admiral has drawn little
nearer home and shaken hands with one
or two party leaders. And, particularly.
wait until he has actually arrived and the
tide of felicitation is running high. Then,
when every fellow is on his mettle, and
premiums go with readable inventions or
with plausible twists OF actual facts, the
admiral may prove a less difficult mark,
and revise the purpose he expresses to
give the gosslps an unchallenged field.
Meanwhile that portion Of the public
properly interested in all legitimate news
about a figure of such attractive proper
tions will not lack for details of his move
ments and surroundings. Faking will not
dull their desire TO keep track of him, or
their ability to separate the true from the
false in the enterprise which plays around
his name

The samoan Problem.

The report of the Samoan joint high COM
mission, the publication of which in ad-
vance Of its receipt by this government is
somewhat out Of the ordinary course in
such matters. emphasizes still further the
fact that the tripartite protectorate plan is
not d success. 1t has not required this re-
port to reveal the fact. however. The dis
orders which have occurred from time to
time ever since the present scheme was in
augurated have amply testified to the in
adequacy Of the mode of government The
commission was not sent to Samoa to pass
upon the value of the triple partnership
but to ascertain whether some mode of ad-
ministration could not be devised in default
of the dissolution of this partnership which
might be relied upon to keep the disorders
at a minimum and to prevent annoying in
ternational friction.
The commissioners, according to this pub
ication. believe that this can be accom-
plished by the abolition of the kinsship. the
appointment OF a governor-presumabl bly
representative of a neutral power-the en-
Iargement of the Jurisdiction of the chief
justice and more stringent enforcement of
the laws prohibiting the Importation of
arms. 1t ought to be possible to abolish
the kingshfp and to keep arms out of the
islands. Whether II will be possible to find
an outsider capable OF giving absolutely
fair government to the islands in a manner
satisfactory to the protectorate powers is a
more difficult question. In the light of pre-
vious experiences as to the scope of the
chief judges powers it may also be aues-
toned whether It will be easy 10 reha bill

The difficulty in the way Of a satisfactory
adjustment or this affair on the basis of
the tripartite agreement is that the years
Of disorder have left deep scars among the
people. They have been torn by factional
feuds- They have learned enough of civ
iliZation to taste its bitter fruits without
fully realizing its blessings. The intrigues
of their chiefs have led them hither and
thither until they have become unreliable
and suspicious. Their greatest need today

The Press at Manila.

The Kansas City Journal, probably in a

For some reason President Mckinley
is slow with his instructions to General
Otis to hold daily councils of war with
the press correspondents.
If meant as pleasantly, this is enjoyable
enough if as slur on the press CORES
pondents in the Philippines, 1t is anything
but creditable to reputable American
newspaper.
The round robin sent from Manila asked
FOR nothing inconsistent with the reason
able demands of a live press serving an
educated people. The correspondents are
there with the consent of this government,
and for a definite purpose. Presumably
they are men of truth and capacity They
represent individual newspaper enterprise
and the leading press associations, and
were probably selected with care The
leading point of their complaint is not that
they have been denied opportunity to exc
cute their commissions, but that, in effect
they have been forced to disseminate false
hoods The people of the United States, as
they insist, have not up to this time been
permitted to know the real situation in the
Philippines.
That is a serious charge If it is true
